AC immigration-petition-cover-letter
Use this skill when a licensed immigration attorney, BIA-accredited representative, or supervising paralegal needs to draft a USCIS petition or application cover letter for I-129, I-140 (EB-1A/EB-1B/EB-1C/EB-2 NIW), I-485, I-589, I-918/I-914, or N-400 filings. Maps exhibits to eligibility criteria, flags missing evidence, computes filing fees, and produces a DRAFT cover-letter packet for attorney-of-record review and signature before filing.
As a process C 64/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 64/100
- 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. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Failures and branches. 9 branches
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5668 tokens
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 110 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
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.
