render-blueprints

Authors and validates render.yaml Blueprints for Render infrastructure. Use when the user needs to write or edit a render.yaml, wire services together with fromDatabase/fromService/fromGroup, set up projects and environments for multi-service apps, configure preview environments, validate against the schema, or fix immutable field errors. Trigger terms: render.yaml, Blueprint, IaC, fromDatabase, fromService, envVarGroups, previews, projects, environments.

Quality

Content

87%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.

The body is a well-organized, actionable reference with excellent progressive disclosure and concise table-driven content. Its only gap is workflow clarity: validation guidance lacks an explicit feedback loop and the authoring process is not sequenced into explicit steps.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation feedback loop to the Validation section: 'validate → review errors → fix → re-validate → only merge once it passes' so the checkpoint is explicit.

Consider a short numbered authoring sequence (structure services/databases → wire env vars → add projects/environments → configure previews → validate → check immutable fields) to make the end-to-end process unambiguous.

Remove the duplicated JSON Schema URL (stated both in 'Schema and IDE validation' and again under 'Validation') to tighten token efficiency.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and table-driven with terse role descriptions ('Managed PostgreSQL instances', 'Long-running background process') and no padding explaining what Render, YAML, or databases are — every section covers a distinct facet without re-teaching known concepts.	3 / 3
Actionability	Two complete executable YAML examples (minimal web+Postgres and full projects/environments), a real CLI command ('render blueprints validate'), and concrete field/immutable-field lists make the guidance copy-paste ready rather than abstract.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Validation is mentioned ('render blueprints validate', 'Fix schema and semantic errors before merging') but there is no explicit validate → fix → re-validate → only-proceed feedback loop, and the body is reference-style rather than a sequenced end-to-end workflow, capping it at the 'checkpoints missing or implicit' level.	2 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md acts as an overview pointing to four real one-level-deep reference files, signaled inline ('see references/wiring-patterns.md') and summarized in a final References navigation table, with detail appropriately split out.	3 / 3

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.

The description is exemplary: it states concrete capabilities, provides an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause and a dedicated trigger-term list, answers both what and when, and occupies a clearly distinct niche. No improvements needed.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions across the domain — authoring/validating render.yaml, wiring via fromDatabase/fromService/fromGroup, projects/environments, previews, and immutable-field fixes — matching the 'multiple specific concrete actions' anchor rather than the narrower 'names domain and some actions' level.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Authors and validates render.yaml Blueprints for Render infrastructure') and when ('Use when the user needs to...') with explicit trigger terms, satisfying the highest anchor.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	An explicit 'Trigger terms:' list (render.yaml, Blueprint, IaC, fromDatabase, fromService, envVarGroups, previews, projects, environments) plus natural phrasing like 'write or edit a render.yaml' gives good coverage of terms users would actually say.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Scoped to a clear niche (Render render.yaml Blueprint authoring/validation) with domain-specific triggers tightly bound to Render, making conflicts with unrelated skills unlikely.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
