AC grill
Use when a technical writeup, blog post, war story, or "Show HN" is about to go to Hacker News, Lobsters, or any skeptical technical audience, or when the user says "grill this", "make it HN-ready", "harden this post", "is this ready to post", "will this survive the comments". Hardens facts, sourcing, voice, and comment-readiness. Not for identity/infra leak scrubbing (use plate) or repo publication (use publish-readiness).

As a process C 55/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
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 55/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 23 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1284 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
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.
