AC protocol-d-debugging

Guides systematic debugging through Protocol D (READ, ISOLATE, DOCS, HYPOTHESIZE, VERIFY). Use when junior says "stuck", "not working", "broken", "bug", "error", "crashed", "failing", "can't figure out", or expresses frustration. Do NOT use for general questions.

How to improve

    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.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 60/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (protocol-d-debugging) differs from the folder (debugging)
    • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Steps. 35 steps
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2666 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
    • low 12 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

    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
