DD snapshot-skill
Exercise project skill discovery and loading in snapshot tests.
Claims to help discover and load projects in snapshot tests. In reality, it's a single 27-token file with no scripts—basically a skeleton for something bigger. The scores tell the story: 43 for quality, 38 for process. No critical issues, but almost no substance either. Safe, sure, but that doesn't help.
For actual snapshot test work, the skill is too thin. Worth installing only if you plan to expand it yourself or use it as a starting point. As a ready-to-use solution, it falls short.

As a process D 38/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: steps, result and completion, when it triggers
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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
- warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 38/100
- 0Steps. Prose only: no discrete steps
- 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
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 27 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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
