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
0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
40Consistency. Frontmatter name (self-improving-agent) differs from the folder (self-improving-agent-pro-v1)
100Tools and files. No external tools needed
100Steps. 26 steps
100Execution cost. Instruction body is 952 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.
