BC alibabacloud-network-connect-with-ipsec-vpn

Scenario-based skill for connecting Linux servers to Alibaba Cloud VPC via IPsec VPN. Configure StrongSwan on the Linux server to establish dual-tunnel IPsec-VAN secure tunnels over the public network to access Alibaba Cloud VPC. Triggers: "connect edge server to Alibaba Cloud VPC", "connect server to Alibaba Cloud VPC"

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning description-no-when description does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")

Process rating: all ten parameters 59/100

  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 16 mutating operations with no state check
  • 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4624 tokens
  • 100Steps. 45 steps
  • 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 15 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

Quality signals

  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +5Description quotes 2 example trigger phrases
  • +3Description length 321: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 36 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 45 items
  • +4Has examples (22 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (8 of 8)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 81.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
This VPN setup skill appears purpose-aligned, but it needs Review because it combines paid cloud changes and root networking changes with under-scoped secret-handling and credential guidance.
