AC metal-shader-expert
20 years Weta/Pixar experience in real-time graphics, Metal shaders, and visual effects. Expert in MSL shaders, PBR rendering, tile-based deferred rendering (TBDR), and GPU debugging. Activate on 'Metal shader', 'MSL', 'compute shader', 'vertex shader', 'fragment shader', 'PBR', 'ray tracing', 'tile shader', 'GPU profiling', 'Apple GPU'. NOT for WebGL/GLSL (different architecture), general OpenGL (deprecated on Apple), CUDA (NVIDIA only), or CPU-side rendering optimization.

As a process C 54/100 · 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 19): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 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
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1126 tokens
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
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +4No input/output examples
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Description says when NOT to use the skill
- +3Description length 478: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 14 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 12 items
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (3 of 3)
