AB smtping-email-verification

Verify email addresses with the SMTPing API before sending, importing or storing them. Use when the user asks to verify, validate, check or clean one email address or a list (CSV, pasted text, CRM export), wants to know which contacts are safe to email, asks about bounces, disposable, spamtrap, spambot or complainer addresses, or asks for their SMTPing credit balance.

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 73/100

    • 30Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 30Running it twice. 14 mutating operations with no state check
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 100Steps. 19 steps
    • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1203 tokens
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    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.
