CC mentat
MENTAT, the agent-native OTC venue. Escrow settlement on Base (atomic, no admin keys), CoW Protocol relay (agent-signed, MEV-protected), and an XMR route via Wagyu (XMR/USDC both directions, three legs, one proof per leg). Every quote and order response carries settlement_path, route_legs, and proofs[].
MENTAT, the agent-native OTC venue.
As a process C 62/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when") - warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5308 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 276): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 62/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 23 mutating operations with no state check
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5308 tokens
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 28 steps
- 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 12 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.
