AB cs-paper-reading
Apply Keshav's three-pass reading method adapted for computer science academic papers. Use when reading CS research papers for literature review, research, or study. Triggers on "read paper", "analyze paper", "three-pass method", "paper reading", "literature review", "academic paper", "research paper", "CS paper", "computer science paper". Guides systematic reading through first pass (overview), second pass (content grasp), third pass (deep understanding), and reading report integration phases.
As a process B 65/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, failures and branches, running it twice
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 65/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 6 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 57 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1103 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.
