BC pdf_simple_tool
PDF splitting and PDF-to-Word conversion tools implemented in Node.js.
As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, 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
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens) - warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (pdf_simple_tool) differs from the folder (pdf-simple-tool)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 24 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 534 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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

This skill is a straightforward local PDF utility that reads user-selected PDFs and writes user-selected PDF or DOCX outputs, with only normal npm dependency and overwrite cautions.
