As a process C 54/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency
What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- Remove the critical guard findings (secrets, dangerous commands, hidden instructions): while they stand the skill is blocked and cannot grade above F.
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when") - warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5390 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (linkedin-job-application-bot) differs from the folder (linkedin-job-application)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5390 tokens
- 100Steps. 239 steps
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 14 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.

- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -216 emoji in the instructions: noise for the model
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 283: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 51 headings
