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
  • 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 body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 5734 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/zotero_collection.json
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/fulltext_retrieval.json
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "triggers"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "tools"
  • note edit-residue the text marks something as outdated (lines 168, 287): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions

  • 0Tools and files. 2 referenced file(s) missing: references/zotero_collection.json, references/fulltext_retrieval.json
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5734 tokens
  • 85Steps. 57 steps, 2 vague phrases
  • 100Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 14 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

  • +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
  • -5TODO / placeholder text left in the skill
  • -2localhost URLs: will not work for another user
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 198: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 42 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 57 items
  • +4Has examples (15 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 1)
