The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b9d1466

Ran both reviews on the same throwaway Elasticsearch sink config: a generic review only flagged the long transform chain, while the skill's checklist caught errors.tolerance=all with no DLQ topic configured - a silent-message-drop bug the generic pass missed entirely.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Kafka Connector Review does

Reviews Kafka Connect connector configurations for common misconfigurations - missing dead-letter-queue setup, converter mismatches, oversized transform chains, and low task counts - via the Lenses MCP server, with a codebase-only fallback when no MCP is connected. Triggers on 'review connectors,' 'check connector configs,' or 'why is my connector failing'; explicitly excludes creating/deploying/controlling connectors.
