BD evidence-first-debugging
Use when debugging software, investigating incidents, diagnosing flaky tests, or analyzing performance regressions — enforces structured observation recording with evidence IDs, causality validation, and verification gates to prevent correlation-causation pollution. Use when an agent might otherwise summarize or speculate instead of reporting observed evidence.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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 44/100
- 0Tools and files. 5 referenced file(s) missing: ../../shared/investigation-template.md, ../../shared/evidence-rules.md, ../../shared/causality-check.md
- 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
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Steps. 11 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1045 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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.
