AC codex-orchestrator
Methodical end-to-end software delivery orchestrator for Codex CLI with dual project modes (greenfield for new builds, brownfield for existing systems) and dual execution modes (autonomous and gated). Use when users want full lifecycle delivery with strict stage gates, progress tracking, per-step manual/automated testing, continuous docs updates, change-impact management, and a reusable AGENTS.md workflow for any coding agent.
As a process C 56/100 · Has gaps — 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 56/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (codex-orchestrator) differs from the folder (codex-conductor)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 95 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2153 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- 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
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 430: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 16 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 95 items
- +4Has examples (10 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (9 of 9)
