BC benchmark-optimization-loop
Convert 'make it faster' requests into a bounded measured optimization loop — baseline first, generate one-hypothesis variants, benchmark each against a correctness gate, and promote the fastest safe variant with reproducible commands. Use when asked to speed something up, try many variants, run recursive optimization, benchmark latency/throughput/cost, or pick the best implementation by repeated measured tests.

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- 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
- note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "tools"
Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 22 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 527 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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 415: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 6 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 22 items
- +4Has examples (1 code blocks)
- +1License stated
