BF shared-content-references

Store instructional prose once and reference it from multiple skills or agents instead of duplicating it. Use when the same steps, rules, or reference material appear in two or more SKILL.md or agent files in one plugin, when deciding whether a shared doc belongs in the plugin-root docs directory or a single skill's references directory, or when tempted to use a symlink or a ../ path to share a file between components.

How to improve

  1. 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.

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: ../../docs/<doc>.md, ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/<doc>.md
  • 0Tools and files. 2 referenced file(s) missing: ../../docs/<doc>.md, ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/<doc>.md
  • 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
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
  • 100Steps. 9 steps
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1201 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.

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
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 422: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 7 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 9 items
  • +4Has examples (4 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (3 of 3)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 79.
