AB brief-builder
Interview the user with sharp, one-at-a-time questions to turn a vague request into a tight, complete brief any other skill can run on. Use when a request is fuzzy, under-specified, or 'help me think this through', or before running a skill that needs inputs the user hasn't given. Produces a structured brief (goal, audience, constraints, success criteria) and hands off to the right skill — by interrogating, not guessing.

As a process B 68/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, failures and branches, progress reporting
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.

frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "homepage"
Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100
- 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
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 32 steps
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 973 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.
