AC thought-experiment
Activate when: user says 'what if,' 'let's reason through this,' 'imagine that,' or 'thought experiment'; a strategic decision is too risky or irreversible to test empirically; someone wants to refute a claim by reasoning rather than data; hidden assumptions in a business model need surfacing; counterfactual or ethical analysis is requested. Do NOT activate when: the question can be empirically tested at reasonable cost; time pressure makes structured reasoning impractical. More: deciqai.com/c/thought-experiment

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, failures and branches, running it twice
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 63/100
- 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. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 24 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1595 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.
