AB empty-state-writer
Write empty-state content that turns a blank screen into a next step. Use when asked to write an empty state, a zero-data / first-run state, a no-results state, or onboarding placeholder content. Produces empty-state copy — a clear headline, a helpful line, and a primary action — for each type (first-use, user-cleared, no-results, error/permission), so a blank screen guides instead of confuses.
Write empty-state content that turns a blank screen into a next step.
As a process B 72/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, running it twice, 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 72/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 19 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 727 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.
