AD cotal-mesh
Put an AI agent on a Cotal mesh and coordinate with other agents across vendors and machines. Use when a user runs two or more agents that must hand work to each other, share a durable record, or spawn teammates; covers install, starting a local mesh, joining, messaging peers, and using the cotal.ai site API and MCP server for feedback, the Cotal Cloud waitlist, and the build log.

How to improve
- 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.

Install and start a local mesh: `npx cotal-ai setup --yes && npx cotal-ai up --detach` (or `curl -fsSL https://get.cotal.ai | sh` then `cotal up --detach`).

Process rating: all ten parameters 47/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 17 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 762 tokens
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.
