BB decompose

The greenfield decomposition interview. Routed to at startup when .codearbiter/CONTEXT.md lacks the <!--INITIALIZED--> body marker and no source code exists, or when the user invokes /decompose. A senior-architect persona drives a six-layer interview, persists every layer to disk so a context reset loses nothing, then populates .codearbiter/ and locks it initialized. No project-state doc is written before the layers are solid; orchestration does not resume until the lock is set.

How to improve

    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.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 73/100

    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4853 tokens
    • 85Steps. 28 steps, 1 vague phrases
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
    • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
    • high The skill tells the model to perform an irreversible action with no human approval
    • low The response is described with custom markup (4 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.
