backup-and-disaster-recovery

Plan and run backups, set recovery objectives, and run disaster recovery drills. Use this skill when defining RPO/RTO targets, designing backup architecture, deciding what to back up and how often, planning for full-region or platform outages, or running a restoration drill. Triggers on backup, restore, RPO, RTO, disaster recovery, DR, business continuity, what if the database is gone, what if our hosting goes down, recovery drill, ransomware planning. Also triggers when an incident reveals a gap in restoration capability.

Content

85%

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-structured, actionable DR planning framework with clear sequencing, validation feedback loops, and a properly signaled one-level reference. Its only weakness is mild verbosity from motivational aphorisms and re-derived definitions that assume less than Claude's competence.

Suggestions

Trim aphoristic filler ('Backups that aren't drilled drift toward useless', 'The runbook is for the worst night of someone's career') to tighten conciseness.

Reduce the basic definitional prose for RPO and RTO to one line each; assume Claude knows the terms and keep only the skill's thresholds/mappings.

Consider moving 'Special topics' detail (PITR, object-store settings) into a reference file to slim the main body further.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient for a complex domain skill, but includes motivational aphorisms ('Backups that aren't drilled drift toward useless', 'The runbook is for the worst night of someone's career') and re-derives basic definitions of RPO/RTO that could be trimmed.

2 / 3

Actionability

Gives concrete, executable guidance: tiering scheme, RPO/RTO-to-architecture mappings, the 3-2-1 rule, an inventory table spec, and a fillable restore-runbook template reference. For an instruction-only planning skill this is copy-ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced 7-step workflow with validation checkpoints and a feedback loop: drill, measure actual RPO/RTO against targets ('If the actual RTO was 6 hours when the target was 1 hour, the target is fiction'), document breaks, action items, and re-schedule.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a well-organized overview with a single clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference (references/restore-runbook-template.md, verified to exist) linked from a dedicated 'Reference files' section.

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.

The description is specific, trigger-rich, complete, and distinct: it names concrete actions, lists natural trigger terms, provides an explicit 'Use when...' clause, and carves out a clear DR/backup niche. It uses third person throughout with no over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions ('Plan and run backups, set recovery objectives, and run disaster recovery drills') rather than vague language, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what the skill does and when to use it via a clear 'Use this skill when...' clause plus 'Also triggers when...', satisfying the top anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural-term coverage ('backup, restore, RPO, RTO, disaster recovery, DR... what if the database is gone, what if our hosting goes down, recovery drill, ransomware planning') including phrasings users would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear DR/backup niche with domain-specific triggers (RPO/RTO, ransomware, full-region outage) that are unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
