BC selzy
Create and send email marketing campaigns via Selzy API. Manage contacts, segments, templates. Schedule campaigns, run A/B tests, and analyze performance (opens, clicks, bounces). Turn natural language requests into full email campaigns. **v2.1 — Fixed critical bug:** Campaigns now require explicit list_id verification. Without list_id, Selzy sends to 1 contact only. Always call getLists first.
Create and send email marketing campaigns via Selzy API.
As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, consistency
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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")
Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 66 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (selzy) differs from the folder (selzy-api-skill)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4907 tokens
- 85Steps. 72 steps, 3 vague phrases
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- 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.
