netlify-caching

Guide for controlling caching on Netlify's CDN. Use when configuring cache headers, setting up stale-while-revalidate, implementing on-demand cache purge, or understanding Netlify's CDN caching behavior. Covers Cache-Control, Netlify-CDN-Cache-Control, cache tags, durable cache, and framework-specific caching patterns.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, dense reference that delivers executable code and concrete configuration guidance without conceptual padding. Section organization is clear and the included debugging and constraints sections act as useful verification and gotcha checkpoints.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean reference that assumes Claude's competence — no padding about what a CDN is or how caching works — using tables and tight code blocks where every token earns its place.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready code for every pattern (TypeScript Response headers, netlify.toml, purgeCache import) plus a concrete debugging header to inspect outcomes.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	A configuration/reference skill rather than a destructive multi-step workflow; the Debugging section with Cache-Status (HIT/MISS/REVALIDATED) and the Constraints gotchas act as verification checkpoints, and each single action is unambiguous.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	No bundle files exist, so all content is inline in SKILL.md and organized into clearly headed sections (Default Behavior, Headers, Cache Tags, Framework-Specific, Debugging, Constraints) — appropriate for a cohesive single-file reference with no need for external splitting.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, concise description that clearly states the skill's purpose and gives explicit, natural-language trigger guidance scoped to Netlify CDN caching. It lists concrete actions and domain-specific terms without fluff.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names multiple concrete actions — 'configuring cache headers, setting up stale-while-revalidate, implementing on-demand cache purge' — matching the level-3 anchor of listing several specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Guide for controlling caching on Netlify's CDN') and when ('Use when configuring cache headers, setting up stale-while-revalidate, implementing on-demand cache purge...'), with an explicit 'Use when' clause.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Uses natural terms users would say — 'cache headers', 'cache purge', 'caching on Netlify's CDN', 'cache tags' — with good coverage and variations, matching the level-3 anchor.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche — Netlify CDN caching specifically — with distinct, platform-specific triggers (Netlify-CDN-Cache-Control, cache tags, durable cache) unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
