CC developing-kafka-python-client

Use when the user wants to build a Python Kafka producer or consumer, add Schema Registry to existing Python code, migrate from raw JSON to schema-backed serialization, or scaffold a confluent-kafka-python project for Confluent Cloud, local Docker, or WarpStream. Also use when user wants to optimize Python Kafka client configuration for WarpStream.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 9592 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/value.avsc

Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: references/value.avsc
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: references/value.avsc
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 9592 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
  • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 85Steps. 77 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Failures and branches. 22 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low The response is described with custom markup (4 tags): a typed call is more reliable

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

  • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • -2localhost URLs: will not work for another user
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 350: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 22 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 77 items
  • +4Has examples (11 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (4 of 4)

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