AC telos
TELOS (Telic Evolution and Life Operating System) — Reads, updates, and backs up the user's personal life OS stored in ~/clawd/telos/. Provides missions, goals, beliefs, challenges, and wisdom as context for life-aligned AI assistance. Based on Daniel Miessler's PAI framework. Use when: (1) user mentions 'telos', 'setup telos', 'update telos', 'add to telos', 'my goals', 'my beliefs', 'my missions', 'telos status'; (2) user asks about personal decisions, career direction, investment choices, relationships, priorities, or life strategy — always check for telos context first; (3) user says 'help me fill telos', '引导我填 telos', or 'telos onboarding'; (4) user says 'backup telos', 'restore telos', 'telos backups', 'telos history', or 'list telos snapshots'.
As a process C 52/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "requires"
Process rating: all ten parameters 52/100
- 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
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 26 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2211 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- low The response is described with custom markup (7 tags): a typed call is more reliable
- medium 3 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
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
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 761: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 10 headings
