BC research
Runs multi-source research across GitHub, HN, Reddit, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar
As a process C 64/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, consistency
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
- 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") - note

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. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (research) differs from the folder (nm-tome-research)
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 18 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 848 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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Description length 81: 120–800 characters recommended
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Structure: 11 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 18 items
- +3Output format is stated explicitly
- +4Has examples (5 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 69.

This skill is a disclosed research workflow that may run multiple research agents and save local reports, with no artifact evidence of hidden, destructive, or unrelated behavior.
