CC data-loss-gate
Confirmation gate before any bulk delete, cleanup, or destructive operation that could result in data loss — shell-level (rm -rf, git rm, bulk sed) or brain-level (bulk forget, delete sweeps, purge-deleted, source removal, raw-SQL truncation). Presents a recoverability card and requires an explicit "yes" from the user before proceeding. Routing convention, not an operation-boundary enforcement.

As a process C 52/100 · Has gaps — References files that are not bundled: ../conventions/brain-first.md, ../_brain-filing-rules.md, ../ask-user/SKILL.md
The same skill appears in 2 more places: gbrain, gbrain
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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 52/100
- 0Tools and files. 6 referenced file(s) missing: ../conventions/brain-first.md, ../_brain-filing-rules.md, ../ask-user/SKILL.md
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 65Failures and branches. 3 branches
- 100Steps. 45 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2574 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (4 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.
