AF agent-estimation
Accurately estimate AI agent work effort using the agent's own operational units (tool-call rounds) instead of human time. Use when asked to estimate, scope, plan, or evaluate how long a coding task will take. Prevents the common failure mode where agents anchor to human developer timelines and massively overestimate. Outputs a structured breakdown with round counts, risk factors, and a final wallclock conversion.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 50/100
- 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: references/calibration-examples.md
- 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
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 65Failures and branches. 3 branches
- 100Steps. 17 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1307 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- medium 5 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
- low No test case covers injection arriving through data
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.
