BC research-gap-finder

Find evidence-bounded candidate research gaps and output a ranked, source-linked report with a candidate research question per gap. Uses a stdlib-only CLI over key-free scholarly APIs (OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, Europe PMC, PubMed, arXiv) plus manual human-in-the-loop guidance. Grounded in PICOS, AHRQ/Robinson gap reasoning, a six-type taxonomy, a five-dimension rubric, reproducible search provenance, and an explicit anti-confabulation protocol.

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
  • 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 description-no-when description does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "categories"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "topics"

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
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 100Steps. 20 steps
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2124 tokens
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

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
  • -31 of 2 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 460: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 7 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 20 items
  • +4Has examples (1 code blocks)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 67.

External checks

ClawHub: clean
This skill is a coherent scholarly-search CLI with bounded local project files and declared API use; its main caveat is redirect hardening for outbound requests.
