AB kb_literature_review
Produce a focused literature/knowledge review using only selected Research KB contents. Use for query-page tasks asking to write a review, synthesize a topic, compare multiple papers/projects, summarize methods, identify research gaps, or produce a source-grounded thematic survey; accepts Java backend research_kb_agent_task JSON with taskType kb_query or kb_literature_review and returns query-compatible answer/citations.

As a process B 74/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: failures and branches, consistency, 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens)
Process rating: all ten parameters 74/100
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (kb_literature_review) differs from the folder (kb-literature-review)
- 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. 35 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 673 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.
