AD tavily

Web search and content extraction using Tavily Search/Extract/Research APIs (Bearer auth). Use when you need web results (general/news/finance), date/topic/domain filtering, source citations, or want Tavily instead of built-in web_search/Firecrawl. Requires TAVILY_API_KEY.

How to improve

  1. For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
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 description-long-hermes description is 273 chars; the Hermes authoring standard requires ≤ 60 (one sentence, ending with a period)
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "requires_env"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "primary_credential"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "outbound_hosts"

Process rating: all ten parameters 40/100

  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 0Consistency. Frontmatter name (tavily) differs from the folder (tavily-web)
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 100Steps. 32 steps
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1065 tokens
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing

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
  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 273: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 9 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 32 items
  • +4Has examples (2 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (9 of 10)
  • +3All 1 scripts are documented

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 82.
