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 is an extremely weak description that fails on every dimension. It provides no information about what the skill does, when it should be used, or what domain it operates in. It reads more like a label than a description, making it essentially useless for skill selection among multiple options.
Suggestions
Add concrete actions describing what raft-manager actually does (e.g., 'Manages Raft consensus protocol configurations, monitors cluster health, handles leader election')
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms that describe scenarios where this skill should be selected
Replace the invocation instruction ('invoke with $agent-raft-manager') with functional description content — invocation syntax belongs elsewhere, not in the description used for skill selection
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description provides no concrete actions whatsoever. 'Agent skill for raft-manager' is entirely vague and does not describe what the skill actually does. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is answered. The description only states it's an 'agent skill' and how to invoke it, providing no functional or contextual information. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only keyword is 'raft-manager', which is technical jargon. There are no natural language terms a user would say when needing this skill. The invocation syntax '$agent-raft-manager' is not a trigger term users would naturally use. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is so vague that it's impossible to distinguish it from other skills. 'Agent skill' is completely generic and 'raft-manager' provides no clarity on the domain or purpose. | 1 / 3 |

Implementation
7%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill reads as a high-level architectural overview of the Raft consensus algorithm rather than an actionable skill for Claude. It entirely lacks concrete commands, code examples, specific tool usage, or step-by-step workflows. The content describes what Raft does (which Claude already knows) rather than providing project-specific instructions on how to perform tasks.
Suggestions
Replace abstract descriptions with concrete, executable code or commands for each core operation (e.g., specific CLI commands to trigger leader election, code to append log entries, scripts to verify consistency).
Add step-by-step workflows with explicit validation checkpoints for critical operations like leader election and node recovery, including error handling and retry logic.
Remove explanations of standard Raft concepts that Claude already knows and focus only on project-specific implementation details, configurations, and tool invocations.
Add concrete examples showing expected inputs and outputs for each operation (e.g., what a log entry looks like, what election success/failure responses contain).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is verbose and describes concepts Claude already understands (Raft consensus, leader election, log replication). It reads like a high-level design document rather than actionable instructions, with padded bullet points that restate well-known Raft concepts without adding novel or project-specific information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There are no concrete commands, executable code, specific configurations, or copy-paste-ready examples. Every section is abstract description ('Implement append entries protocol', 'Execute randomized timeout-based elections') without any actual implementation guidance, tool invocations, or specific steps Claude should take. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no clear sequenced workflow for any operation. The content lists responsibilities and features as bullet points but never defines a step-by-step process for leader election, log replication, or any other task. No validation checkpoints or feedback loops are present despite these being critical distributed systems operations. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content has some structural organization with headers and subsections, and the collaboration section references other components. However, there are no links to supporting files, no bundle files exist, and the content is a monolithic description without clear navigation to deeper resources. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 5 / 12 Passed |
