AB margin-of-safety
Activate when: user asks how much buffer to build into a budget, timeline, or investment; someone says 'I might be wrong on my estimate — how much cushion do I need?'; a project or position is running lean and someone wonders if there's enough runway; user mentions Ben Graham, value investing, or 'buying a dollar for fifty cents'; someone is deciding how much to raise or reserve before committing. Do NOT activate when: the domain is fully deterministic with no estimation error; the user is using margin as an excuse to avoid committing to anything (perpetual deferral, not safety).

As a process B 68/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, running it twice, progress reporting
How to improve
- 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 68/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 16 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 28 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1928 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.
