AC courseforge
Create and manage online courses via the CourseForge API (caringcourseforge.com). Use when the user wants to create courses, modules, lessons, generate AI content, export to SCORM/xAPI, manage knowledge libraries, or interact with the CourseForge platform. Handles course building, content generation, quizzes, accessibility validation, and course export.
As a process C 50/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
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 50/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 23 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (courseforge) differs from the folder (caring-courseforge)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 55 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1441 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
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 355: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 11 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 55 items
- +4Has examples (3 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 1)
- +3All 1 scripts are documented
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 91.
