BC codebase-onboarding
Gathers facts about a codebase (stack, layers, entry points, setup gaps) and turns them into onboarding docs: architecture overview, file map, setup guide, debugging guide. Use when onboarding engineers or re-documenting after a refactor.

As a process C 64/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, running it twice
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 64/100
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, git, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 37 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2209 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
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
- -5TODO / placeholder text left in the skill
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 238: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 14 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 37 items
- +4Has examples (1 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (3 of 3)
- +3All 3 scripts are documented
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 87.
