Generates configuration files for services and tools (app config, logging config, linter config, database config) from a brief description of desired behavior, matching the target format's idioms. Use when bootstrapping a new service, when the user asks for a config file for a specific tool, or when translating config intent between formats.

Discovery
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.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It provides specific examples of config types, uses natural language triggers users would actually say, explicitly states both capabilities and usage conditions with a 'Use when...' clause, and carves out a distinct niche that won't conflict with other skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'generates configuration files' with explicit examples (app config, logging config, linter config, database config) and mentions 'matching the target format's idioms' as a specific capability. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Generates configuration files for services and tools...matching the target format's idioms') AND when ('Use when bootstrapping a new service, when the user asks for a config file for a specific tool, or when translating config intent between formats'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'config file', 'configuration', 'logging config', 'linter config', 'database config', 'bootstrapping', 'service'. These cover common variations of how users request config generation. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on configuration file generation with distinct triggers like 'config file', 'bootstrapping', and 'translating config intent'. Unlikely to conflict with general code generation or documentation skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill that provides concrete, actionable guidance for generating configuration files. The tables for consumer identification, secret separation, and safe defaults are particularly valuable. The worked example demonstrates the complete output format effectively. Minor improvement possible in progressive disclosure for the longer reference tables.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section earns its place with actionable tables, concrete examples, and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. The content is dense with useful information without padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides executable YAML examples, specific file paths to check, concrete defaults with rationale, and a complete worked example with real code that can be copy-pasted and adapted. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 3-step process (identify consumer → separate secrets → layer by environment) with explicit decision tables at each step. The 'Do not' section serves as validation checkpoints for the output. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized with clear sections and tables, but all content is inline in a single file. The reference to 'config-consistency-checker' suggests external tooling exists but isn't linked. For a skill of this length (~150 lines), some content could be split out. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
