Discovery
0%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 no useful information for skill selection. It lacks any concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, explicit usage guidance, and distinguishing details. It would be nearly impossible for Claude to correctly select this skill from a pool of available skills based on this description alone.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates zero trust network architecture configurations, validates access control policies, creates micro-segmentation rules, and audits trust boundaries.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about zero trust architecture, network access policies, micro-segmentation, identity-based access control, or least-privilege configurations.'
Remove the redundant duplicate trigger term and replace with varied natural language terms users would actually say, such as 'zero trust', 'ZTA', 'network security config', 'access policy', 'trust boundary'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description provides no concrete actions whatsoever. It only names itself ('Zero Trust Config Helper') and states it's part of 'Security Advanced' but never describes what it actually does—no verbs like 'configures', 'validates', 'generates', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is meaningfully answered. There is no explanation of capabilities and no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are the skill's own name repeated twice ('zero trust config helper'). No natural user keywords like 'zero trust architecture', 'network segmentation', 'access policies', 'security configuration', or similar terms a user would actually say. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is so vague that it could overlap with any security-related skill. 'Security Advanced skill category' provides no meaningful differentiation, and the lack of specific actions or domain details makes it impossible to distinguish from other security skills. | 1 / 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 template with no substantive content. It repeatedly references 'zero trust config helper' without ever defining what zero trust configuration entails, providing any concrete guidance, code, commands, or architectural patterns. It fails on every dimension as it contains no actionable information whatsoever.
Suggestions
Add concrete zero trust configuration examples (e.g., network segmentation rules, identity-aware proxy configs, mTLS setup, policy-as-code snippets for tools like OPA or Istio).
Define a clear workflow for implementing zero trust: e.g., 1) Inventory assets, 2) Define trust boundaries, 3) Configure identity verification, 4) Apply least-privilege policies, 5) Validate with specific testing commands.
Remove all boilerplate meta-descriptions ('This skill provides automated assistance...') and replace with actual technical content that Claude doesn't already know.
Add references to specific frameworks (NIST SP 800-207, BeyondCorp) and link to detailed sub-documents for different zero trust components (network, identity, device trust).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and boilerplate. It repeatedly restates 'zero trust config helper' without providing any actual technical content. Every section describes what the skill does in abstract terms rather than providing actionable information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance—no code, no commands, no configuration examples, no specific zero trust architecture patterns. The content only describes vague capabilities like 'provides step-by-step guidance' without actually providing any. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow, steps, or process is defined. There are no validation checkpoints, no sequenced instructions, and no actual procedure for configuring zero trust architectures. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, repetitive document with no meaningful structure. There are no references to detailed materials, no links to configuration examples, and the sections are superficial headers over vacuous content. | 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.
