BA eval-skills

Eval and improve a skill against golden cases — run the target skill blind in a fresh, context-free subagent on each example input, grade the artifact against the expected outcome, and let the gaps drive the edits. Use when the user wants to test/eval/improve/harden a skill, says "this skill keeps producing X / keeps missing Y", or hands a skill plus example input→expected-output pairs. Pairs with [write-skills](../write-skills/SKILL.md) (the authoring principles every fix obeys).

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • 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.

    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.
