BC codex-cli-task
Launch OpenAI Codex CLI async in background with automatic delivery to Telegram/WhatsApp. Use for coding, refactoring, codebase research, file generation, and complex multi-step automations. NOT for quick one-off questions or real-time interactive tasks. Includes strict thread-safe routing + E2E operator validation workflow.

How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 6844 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 183): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 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 (codex-cli-task) differs from the folder (codex-code-task)
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 6844 tokens
- 85Steps. 181 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 19 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (4 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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
