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 restates the skill name without providing any meaningful detail about capabilities, actions, or usage triggers. It follows a boilerplate template pattern ('Auto-activating skill for...') that adds no discriminative value. The duplicate trigger term suggests auto-generation without human review.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates websocket server endpoints, handles connection lifecycle events (open, close, error), implements message routing and broadcasting.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'websocket', 'ws', 'real-time connection', 'socket server', 'bidirectional communication', 'ws://endpoint'.
Remove the duplicate trigger term and the boilerplate template language ('Auto-activating skill for Backend Development') in favor of substantive capability descriptions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the domain ('websocket handler setup') without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed such as 'create websocket connections, handle message events, manage connection lifecycle.' | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond restating the title, and there is no explicit 'when to use' clause. The 'Triggers on' line just repeats the skill name rather than providing meaningful trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are just 'websocket handler setup' repeated twice. Missing natural variations users would say like 'websocket', 'ws connection', 'real-time communication', 'socket server', 'ws endpoint', or 'websocket events'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The term 'websocket handler setup' is somewhat specific to a niche (websockets), which provides some distinctiveness. However, the lack of detail means it could overlap with general backend development or API setup skills. | 2 / 3 |

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 is an empty shell—a template placeholder that contains no actual technical content about websocket handler setup. It consists entirely of self-referential meta-descriptions ('this skill provides guidance for websocket handler setup') without any concrete code, commands, patterns, or actionable instructions. It would provide zero value to Claude when handling websocket-related tasks.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable code examples for websocket handler setup in at least one language (e.g., Node.js with ws/socket.io, Python with websockets/FastAPI), including connection handling, message routing, and error handling.
Define a clear multi-step workflow: e.g., 1) Set up server, 2) Define connection handlers, 3) Implement message routing, 4) Add authentication/validation, 5) Test with a client—with validation checkpoints at each step.
Remove all meta-description sections (Purpose, When to Use, Capabilities, Example Triggers) that describe the skill itself rather than teaching how to do the task.
Include specific patterns for common websocket concerns: heartbeat/ping-pong, reconnection logic, room/channel management, and scaling considerations with concrete code snippets.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and meta-description. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any actual technical content. Every section restates the same vague idea ('websocket handler setup') without adding substance. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance—no code examples, no specific commands, no library recommendations, no websocket protocol details. The skill describes rather than instructs, offering nothing executable or copy-paste ready. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow steps are defined. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains none. There are no sequences, validation checkpoints, or error recovery instructions. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-descriptions with no references to detailed materials, no links to examples or advanced guides, and no meaningful structural organization of actual content. | 1 / 3 |
