AC alter-message
Use when an agent needs to send a direct message to another ~handle, read or manage its own inbox, control who is allowed to message it, or organise an ongoing conversation into channels. Covers sending a markdown message, listing and paging your inbox, reading the bidirectional thread with one peer, marking messages read, redacting an inbound message, granting or revoking a peer's send permission, and listing, renaming, or muting channels within a conversation. Trigger phrases include "send a message to ~handle", "message this identity", "check my alter inbox", "read my messages", "who can message me", "let this peer message me", "block this peer", "revoke this sender", "mute this conversation", "rename this channel".

As a process C 59/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
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 59/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 5 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1891 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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.
