AC arc-creator
Create and populate Annotated Research Contexts (ARCs) following the nfdi4plants ARC specification. Use when creating a new ARC, adding studies/assays/workflows/runs, annotating ISA metadata, organizing research data into ARC structure, or pushing ARCs to a DataHUB. Guides the user interactively through all required and optional metadata fields.
As a process C 57/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, running it twice
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 57/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 11 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, git, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 44 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1146 tokens
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
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -4Absolute local paths (C:\Users, /home/…): not portable
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 347: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 12 headings
