How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
  2. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
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 neither description nor a "## When to Use" section says when to use the skill
  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 12154 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/

Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100

  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 12154 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 60Steps. 353 steps, 9 vague phrases
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 60Consistency. The Hermes dialect needs category and tags
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
  • low 18 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
  • low The response is described with custom markup (5 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.
