As a process D 39/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
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 39/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 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
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Steps. 2 steps
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1646 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- low 14 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
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)
- +3No numbered steps or checklist
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 585: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 15 headings
- +4Has examples (15 code blocks)
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 82.
