AC deliberate-practice-for-manual-skills
Use when you want to quickly acquire, improve, or master a specific manual, trade, craft, or embodied skill (e.g., welding technique, instrument playing, knot tying precision, tool handling, gardening methods). The agent designs personalized deliberate practice regimens, breaks down the skill, generates drills, tracks progress with logs, provides feedback loops, and adjusts based on your reports. You focus exclusively on the physical repetition, execution, and embodied learning.
As a process C 62/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
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 62/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 65Failures and branches. 3 branches
- 85Steps. 61 steps, 3 vague phrases
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2271 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
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.
