How to improve

    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.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 55/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 85Steps. 63 steps, 1 vague phrases
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1697 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
    • low 13 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)
    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
    • -36 of 9 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 431: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 27 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 63 items
    • +4Has examples (16 code blocks)
    • +1License stated

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 82.

    In the sandbox The scripts kept to themselves

    The skill's scripts were run in a throwaway machine: no network, fake keys in the home directory, a tracer watching. We wrote down what they did. Reaching for the network or for secrets caps the technical grade at C; a quiet run adds no points.

    Запущено 12 скриптов, ещё 26 не поместились в лимит; каждому дали двадцать секунд, поддельный домашний каталог с ключами и сеть, в которой ничего нет.

    Из них 8 не дошли до работы, и об их поведении мы ничего не узнали.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    The skill mostly does what it says, but its feed feature accepts unrestricted URLs and the documentation understates the resulting network and data-flow risks.
