AC planning-with-files
This skill should be used when the user asks to start a complex task, research project, multi-step implementation, or any task expected to require more than 5 tool calls. Triggers: 'plan this', 'start planning', 'help me build', 'research and implement', 'complex task', '/plan'.
As a process C 57/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
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 57/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (planning-with-files) differs from the folder (planning-with-files-from-github)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 27 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 977 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 10 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.
Quality signals
