Aura — The agent-to-agent marketplace for tasks, compute, and storage.

How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
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 50/100
Will not run. References files that are not bundled: /app/SKILL.md
- 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: /app/SKILL.md
- 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
- 30Running it twice. 8 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (aura) differs from the folder (aura-a2a-marketplace)
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5032 tokens
- 100Steps. 105 steps
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Failures and branches. 14 branches, has a failure section
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 14 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.

This is a disclosed Aura marketplace integration, but it can act on an Aura account and credits, so users should install it only if they trust Aura and keep approval boundaries clear.
