AC owl

6-step structured research skill. Searches arXiv, reads 5 papers via markitdown, has Claude select the best 2, runs 4 targeted web searches (explanation, GitHub, survey, citations), then writes a 5-bullet summary. Use when a user asks for a "research summary", "deep dive", "what is X", "find papers on Y", "owl research", or any query that benefits from both academic papers and web context combined into a concise, citation-backed summary.

How to improve

    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.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 57/100

    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (owl) differs from the folder (q-research)
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 100Steps. 12 steps
    • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1659 tokens

    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.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    This research skill appears purposeful, but it needs review because it sends research content to outside services and includes under-disclosed advanced web-fetching behavior.
