AB what-worked-here
What worked here, and how do I do it again? Which tool and route succeeded on this host, and is it repeatable? Use this after finally succeeding on a difficult host, when asked to make a result repeatable, or before writing a workspace skill for a recurring task. Ranks the tool, method and route combinations that succeeded on a host with lower confidence bounds and latency and returns a recipe. Returns exactly WRITE_SKILL, POST_WITNESS_CARD or NOTHING_PROVEN_YET. Do not use on hosts with fewer than three observed requests.
What worked here, and how do I do it again?
As a process B 68/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, 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 68/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 25 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1177 tokens
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.
