sim-helm

Install, upgrade, and operate the Sim Helm chart on Kubernetes. Covers install path selection (inline / existingSecret / External Secrets Operator), required secret generation, the values.yaml mental model (env vs envDefaults vs Secret), and common failure triage. Invoke when a user asks about deploying Sim to a cluster, authoring a Sim values.yaml, debugging a Sim pod that won't start, upgrading a Sim release, or wiring Sim into a secret manager.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A well-architected operations skill: a sequenced diagnostic workflow with real validation gates, executable commands, and clean one-level-deep reference splitting. The only lever left is minor tightening of a few explanatory table cells.

Suggestions

Tighten the context-capture table's 'Why it matters' column to a few words per row; the agent can infer most rationales without the prose.

Consider collapsing the 'What this skill does not cover' intro sentence since the bullet list is self-explanatory.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Dense and diagnostic-first with no padding on concepts Claude already knows (Helm, K8s, Postgres), and explicit token discipline ('Loading every reference burns tokens'); a few 'Why it matters' cells and parenthetical asides could be trimmed, keeping it just short of fully lean.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready commands throughout — `helm lint`, `helm template ... > /tmp/render.yaml`, `helm upgrade --dry-run`, `kubectl logs deploy/sim-app --tail=200`, and `openssl rand -hex 32` — cover install, secret generation, validation, and triage concretely.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Five ordered steps (Capture context, Diagnose, Propose, Validate, Deliver) include an explicit validation checkpoint with lint/template/dry-run commands and a feedback loop ('If lint or template fails, fix the values'), with destructive operations separately fenced in the rules of engagement.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a clear overview that signals four real one-level-deep references (install-paths, secrets, values-model, troubleshooting) via a Situation→Reference dispatch table, keeping detail off the main file while inlining only the quick-reference summaries.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 high-quality, third-person description that names concrete capabilities and pairs them with explicit, natural-language invocation triggers tied to the Sim chart specifically. Minor room to add file-extension and synonym triggers, but otherwise exemplary.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Install, upgrade, and operate', install path selection across three named modes, required secret generation, the env/envDefaults/Secret mental model, and failure triage — giving comprehensive, specific coverage rather than generic verbs.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (install/upgrade/operate plus the covered sub-topics) and 'when' via a concrete 'Invoke when a user asks about...' clause enumerating five trigger scenarios.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural trigger phrasings ('deploying Sim to a cluster', 'debugging a Sim pod that won't start', 'wiring Sim into a secret manager') cover the common intents, but it omits some synonyms and the standalone keyword 'Helm' / '.yaml' extensions, so a few natural terms are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'Sim Helm chart on Kubernetes' niche and Sim-specific trigger phrases make it clearly distinguishable from generic Kubernetes or Helm skills, with minimal risk of firing for an unrelated skill.
