AA extract-methods
Use when extracting research methods from the human-free platform's backlog of literature. Each run pulls ONE paper not yet method-extracted over MCP, reads its full text, identifies the research methods it uses or proposes (research paradigms, approaches, technical means, algorithms, models), de-duplicates them against existing methods, and publishes the survivors. Trigger when the user wants to "extract methods", "mine research methods from papers", or work the literature method-extraction backlog.

As a process A 81/100 · Runs to the end — weak spots: result and completion, progress reporting
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 81/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 29 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2154 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- low The response is described with custom markup (5 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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
