AB create-skill
Create a new skill through a guided conversation. Use when a user wants help authoring a skill from scratch, choosing between quick or full guidance, analyzing documentation to extract behavior patterns, generating a functional skill with proper workflow, and explaining how to make the new skill take effect.
As a process B 65/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, consistency, 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 65/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (create-skill) differs from the folder (create-new-skill)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 87 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 12 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1811 tokens
- low 22 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.
