CD video-editor-development

Architecture guidance for the LTX video editor — editor store, selectors, actions, undo/redo, persistence, keyboard behavior, timeline semantics, and hot-path performance.

The skillemall take

The skill promises architectural guidance for the LTX video editor: store, selectors, actions, undo/redo, persistence, keyboard behavior, timeline semantics, and hot-path performance. In practice, it's a single file with 12 tokens—essentially a title with no substance.

Tests found no critical or medium issues, but quality scores 46 percent, process 38 percent. No model runs, no sandbox testing. Compatible with all major platforms, but that doesn't fix the emptiness.

Don't install it. Even as a cheat sheet on editor architecture, the skill fails—there's nothing to read.

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
  • 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-when description does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")

Process rating: all ten parameters 38/100

  • 0Steps. Prose only: no discrete steps
  • 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
  • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 12 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.
