python-resilience

Python resilience patterns including automatic retries, exponential backoff, timeouts, and fault-tolerant decorators. Use when adding retry logic, implementing timeouts, building fault-tolerant services, or handling transient failures.

Quality

Content

65%

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

A well-organized, highly actionable pattern catalog with strong executable examples, weakened slightly by redundant conceptual explanation and a progressive-disclosure reference that points to a non-existent file.

Suggestions

Create references/details.md (or remove the pointer) so the signaled 'Advanced Patterns' reference resolves to a real file rather than a broken path.

Trim the 'Core Concepts' section and the 'Best Practices Summary', which restate patterns and concepts (exponential backoff, jitter, bounded retries) Claude already knows.

If any destructive/batch resilience operations are covered, add explicit validation checkpoints (e.g., verify the fallback path executes) to lift workflow clarity above a pattern catalog.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly code-driven and efficient, but the 'Core Concepts' section explains concepts Claude already knows (exponential backoff, jitter, bounded retries) and the 'Best Practices Summary' reiterates points already covered in the patterns, so it could be tightened rather than scoring a lean 3.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides multiple fully executable, copy-paste-ready tenacity decorators with real imports, concrete parameter values, and complete function bodies, matching the score-3 'copy-paste ready' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Patterns are presented in a sensible progression (basic retry → appropriate errors → status codes → combined), but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or feedback loops; the content is a pattern catalog rather than a gated multi-step workflow, landing at score 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body signals a one-level-deep reference to 'references/details.md' for Advanced Patterns, but the references/ directory does not exist on disk, so the signaled navigation points to a missing file and is not actually functional.

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.

A strong, specific description with explicit capability enumeration and a clear 'Use when' trigger clause, fully answering both what and when in third-person voice with low conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Enumerates multiple concrete capabilities — 'automatic retries, exponential backoff, timeouts, and fault-tolerant decorators' — matching the score-3 anchor that lists several specific concrete actions rather than a single vague domain.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Python resilience patterns including automatic retries, exponential backoff, timeouts...') and when ('Use when adding retry logic, implementing timeouts...'), with an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases a user would say appear directly: 'adding retry logic, implementing timeouts, building fault-tolerant services, or handling transient failures'; coverage is broad enough to clear the score-3 bar above mere 'some relevant keywords'.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (resilience/retry/fault-tolerance patterns) with distinct triggers that are unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the score-3 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
