BC Pareto
Maps any topic's zeitgeist and frontier — sweeps YouTube, GitHub, the web and the Research skill, ranks everything down to the vital few by relevance, reach, recency and outlier-ness, then reports the past meta, the current mainstream meta, and where the forward thinkers are heading, every frontier claim linked. USE WHEN pareto, pareto this, run pareto on, zeitgeist, what's the zeitgeist on, what's the meta on, what is the current meta, where is thinking on X heading, who are the forward thinkers on, who is ahead of the curve on, what are the big thinkers saying about, top content on a topic, vital few. NOT FOR answering a specific factual question (Research), analyzing one piece of content (ExtractWisdom), or AI industry news digests (Upgrade NewsDigest; security news SecurityUpdates).

As a process C 52/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, 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.

name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens) - note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "evals"
Process rating: all ten parameters 52/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1083 tokens
- 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.
