BC implementing-architecture
Use when: about to write code and docs/architecture/ exists with STATUS: APPROVED in architecture.yaml. Not when: no approved architecture yet (use compiling-architecture first), or architecture.yaml lacks STATUS: APPROVED header.

How to improve
- For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
description-long-hermesdescription is 230 chars; the Hermes authoring standard requires ≤ 60 (one sentence, ending with a period) - warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 10526 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note

Process rating: all ten parameters 62/100
- 30Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 10526 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Consistency. The Hermes dialect needs category and tags
- 85Steps. 78 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 21 branches, has a failure section
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Description says when NOT to use the skill
- +3Description length 230: enough signal without eating the budget
