AC CronLint
Scheduled task & cron job anti-pattern analyzer -- detects overlapping execution risks, timezone scheduling errors, missing error recovery, resource contention, lifecycle management issues, and observability gaps in cron jobs, schedulers, and periodic task code
As a process C 56/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions

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.

- warning
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens) - note

Process rating: all ten parameters 56/100
- 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
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 54 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 6 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2210 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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
- -34 of 5 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 261: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 22 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 54 items
- +4Has examples (10 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 75.

ClawHub: suspicious
CronLint is a local cron-code scanner, but its license handling and optional git-hook installer create risks users should review before installing.
