AB plan-first
Solve complex multi-step tasks by generating a detailed plan before execution. Based on the Plan-and-Solve prompting research, this skill breaks tasks into clear steps, validates the approach, then executes systematically. Use for any task with multiple steps, dependencies, or where jumping straight to the answer might miss important details. Critical for coding, writing, analysis, and problem-solving tasks.
As a process B 72/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, 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 72/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 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
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 85Steps. 46 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2713 tokens
- low 11 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
