AB niche-research
Surface the 20 most relevant stories in a niche from the last 7 days using available live research tools. Verified dates, real links, shareable angles. Use available browser or web search tools to inspect dated source material. Use this skill whenever the user says "research my niche", "what's trending", "find stories", "this week's news", "content research", or drops a niche and asks what's happening in it. Requires live source access for current research.

As a process B 74/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, 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 74/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 7 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, read, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 37 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1584 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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.
