BC raven-memory
Persistent causal memory for AI agents. Raven records everything your agent does as a causally-linked chain, including decisions, tool calls, parallel work, and session history. Your agent finally remembers.
As a process C 51/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 51/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 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
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 11 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 309 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 207: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 4 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 11 items
- +4Has examples (4 code blocks)
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 64.

ClawHub: suspicious
Raven Memory is a coherent local memory skill, but it stores and automatically reuses cross-session agent history with weak privacy boundaries and an unsupported encryption claim.
