Produces a DRAFT SHARED brief and a CONFIDENTIAL mediator-only brief with BATNA/WATNA/ZOPA analysis, settlement- authority worksheet, and a do-not-share audit for licensed counsel review.
As a process B 76/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: running it twice, progress reporting
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 76/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 17 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Failures and branches. 13 branches

- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 58 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 11 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.
