AF tragedy-of-the-commons
Activate when: shared resource is degrading even though no one is doing anything "wrong"; team complains about free riders or overuse; designing API quotas, rate limits, or open-source governance; someone says "everyone is overusing this" or "the system worked fine until it got popular"; evaluating why a platform or community is burning out. Do NOT activate when: the resource is fully non-rival (unlimited supply, zero marginal cost); the problem is a purely individual-action issue with no shared resource.

As a process F 45/100 · Will not run — References files that are not bundled: examples/hardin-1968-ostrom-empirical-correction-modern-digital-applications.md, examples/grand-banks-cod-collapse-and-1992-moratorium.md, examples/ai-era-commons-open-web-power-gpus-2024-2026.md
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.

- 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
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 85Steps. 24 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1888 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- 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.
