Discovery
7%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This description is essentially a placeholder that provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It repeats the skill name as triggers, lacks any concrete capability descriptions, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The description would be indistinguishable from any other websocket-related skill.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions like 'Creates websocket server handlers, manages connection lifecycle, implements message routing and broadcasting, handles authentication and error recovery'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when the user asks about websockets, real-time communication, socket connections, ws:// endpoints, or bidirectional messaging'
Specify the scope and technology context (e.g., which frameworks or languages) to distinguish from other potential websocket or backend skills
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the domain 'websocket handler setup' without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'create connection handlers', 'manage message routing', or 'implement authentication'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the title and has no explicit 'Use when...' clause. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the skill name rather than providing meaningful trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('websocket handler setup' repeated twice) and miss natural variations users would say like 'websockets', 'real-time connection', 'socket server', 'ws endpoint', or 'bidirectional communication'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'websocket' is somewhat specific to a particular technology, the lack of detail about what aspects of websocket handling this covers (server setup vs client, specific frameworks, etc.) could cause overlap with other backend or networking skills. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 5 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
0%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill content is essentially a placeholder template with no actual technical value. It describes what a websocket handler setup skill should do without providing any concrete implementation guidance, code examples, or actionable steps. The entire content could be replaced with actual websocket setup code for even one language and be infinitely more useful.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable code examples for websocket handler setup in at least one language (e.g., Node.js with ws library, Python with websockets, or Go with gorilla/websocket)
Include a clear step-by-step workflow: 1) Install dependencies, 2) Create handler, 3) Handle connection events, 4) Implement message handling, 5) Add error handling
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill provides...', 'When to Use...') and replace with actual technical guidance
Add references to language-specific detailed guides if covering multiple languages (e.g., 'For Node.js: See [NODEJS_WEBSOCKETS.md]')
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler with no actual technical information. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete websocket implementation details, wasting tokens on meta-description rather than actionable content. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or specific guidance is provided. The content only describes what the skill 'could' do without actually showing how to set up a websocket handler in any language or framework. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains zero actual steps for websocket handler setup. No validation checkpoints or process sequence exists. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no references to detailed materials, no code examples to link to, and no structured navigation to related resources despite mentioning multiple languages (Node.js, Python, Go). | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Validation
81%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
