AF dichotomy-of-control
Activate when: user says "I can't stop worrying about something I can't control," "I'm anxious about how this will turn out," "I keep replaying what went wrong," "I need them to change," "this uncertainty is paralyzing me," or is processing a setback, preparing for a high-stakes unknown outcome, or stuck in anger/frustration at someone else's choices. Do NOT activate when: the user needs to grieve or feel first (premature Stoic framing suppresses healthy emotion); or the user is avoiding real responsibility by mislabeling a controllable thing as "outside my power."

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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 48/100
- 0Tools and files. 2 referenced file(s) missing: examples/epictetus-marcus-aurelius-stockdale-and-beck.md, references/sources.md
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 85Steps. 24 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1797 tokens
- low 10 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.
