dynamo-router-starter

Start or patch Dynamo router modes and run router endpoint smoke checks. Use for round-robin, KV-aware, least-loaded, or device-aware routing setup; use recipe-runner for recipe deployment and troubleshoot for failure diagnosis.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

A well-structured, actionable skill body: a numbered workflow ending in a validation step with a troubleshooting feedback loop, copy-paste commands, and a genuine one-level reference file holding the detailed mode map. The only minor nit is light flavor text in the Purpose section.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows; it relies on concrete commands and compact tables, with only light flavor text in the Purpose section — not enough to drop it to the could-be-tightened 2 anchor.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready commands ('python3 -m dynamo.frontend --router-mode kv --http-port 8000'), concrete YAML env patches, and an existing script invoked with explicit args — fully executable rather than pseudocode.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Four numbered steps culminate in a smoke-test validation checkpoint, and the symptom→cause→next-step troubleshooting table supplies the error-recovery feedback loop the 3 anchor calls for.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Well-signaled one-level-deep references to the real references/router-modes.md and scripts/check_router_health.py, with the detailed mode/env lookup table appropriately split out of the main body for easy navigation.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 crisp, third-person description that states concrete actions, provides an explicit 'Use for' trigger covering the main routing modes, and cleanly distinguishes itself from sibling skills. It is among the stronger skill descriptions.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists concrete actions — 'Start or patch Dynamo router modes and run router endpoint smoke checks' — alongside enumerated routing modes, matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor rather than the domain-only 2 anchor.	3 / 3
Completeness	States what it does ('Start or patch... run... smoke checks') and when via an explicit 'Use for round-robin, KV-aware...' trigger clause, satisfying both the what and when requirements.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural mode terms a user would actually say — 'round-robin, KV-aware, least-loaded, or device-aware routing' — giving good domain keyword coverage rather than opaque jargon.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear Dynamo-router niche and explicitly deflects recipe deployment to 'recipe-runner' and failure diagnosis to 'troubleshoot', keeping it unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
