AC besom-broom-making-basics
Use when commercial brooms or sweeping tools become unreliable, expensive, or unavailable and you need durable, replaceable, natural brooms for home, garden, workshop, or trade goods made from local broomcorn, heather, or flexible twigs. Agent identifies suitable local materials from your photos/GPS, calculates bundle size and binding ratios for balance and durability, generates multi-day harvest-and-assembly schedules with timed reminders, tracks wear-test logs, and produces inventory/barter templates. Human performs every physical step — harvesting, sorting, binding, trimming, and testing — rebuilding tactile self-reliance in natural tool crafting.
As a process C 56/100 · 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 56/100
- 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. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 56 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1976 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.
