AB make-video-ads
Use when the marketer says: make me a video ad, a 30-second ad for paid social, a Reel / TikTok / Shorts ad, a UGC-style video made with AI (no real creator), a product demo video, remake this ad I like for my brand, cut our best organic video into an ad, more like my winning video with new hooks, my video ad got rejected — fix it. Delivers a produced, ready-to-post video ad grounded in a researched angle: one message, a hook for the first two seconds, every claim traced to the brand's signed-off claims, no generated person posing as a customer, the exact words and the price approved before anything renders (one video, or one plus two hook variants), an honest review of the result, priced fixes only on a yes, and launch copy and notes for the ads team. Works in chat apps. Never publishes or spends ad budget. Not for real creators filming for you — work-with-creators (unsure? ask: AI-made or a real person); not for a phone-shot organic post — run-organic-social; not for static ads — make-static-ads.

As a process B 72/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: running it twice, progress reporting
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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 72/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 6 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4035 tokens
- 100Steps. 27 steps
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (3 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.
