AD marine-carbonate-chemistry
Solves seawater carbonate chemistry with PyCO2SYS for chemical oceanography, ocean acidification, and marine carbon-cycle research. Use for paired total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, or seawater pCO2/fCO2 measurements; carbonate speciation; aragonite and calcite saturation; Revelle factors; lab-to-in-situ temperature and pressure corrections; and measurement uncertainty propagation. Applies to carbonate-system calculations, not general aqueous speciation or air-sea gas-flux estimation.

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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 43/100
- 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
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 14 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2164 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.
