BC rote
Compile a proven agent skill (a SKILL.md plus references) into a deterministic pipeline that runs without an LLM in the loop, then serve it back to Claude as an MCP tool. Use when: rote, compile this skill, turn this skill into a workflow, make this skill deterministic, make this skill cheaper or faster, harden this skill for production, run this skill as a background job.

As a process C 62/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
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 62/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 6 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1808 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low The response is described with custom markup (10 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
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 375: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 9 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 6 items
- +4Has examples (5 code blocks)
