AC ia-agent-native-architecture
Design agent-native applications where agents replace UI users as the primary actor. Use when designing MCP tools, agent-loop architectures, system prompt design, hooks policy, shared-workspace file patterns, or self-modifying agent systems.
As a process C 54/100 · 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "class"
Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (ia-agent-native-architecture) differs from the folder (compound-eng-agent-native-architecture)
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 22 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1429 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.
