CC resolve-before-asking

Gate on identity questions to the user. Before any "who is X?" (or role / relationship question) reaches the user, exhaust the brain's lookup chain: think → search + page read → mounted sources → timeline/graph → web. If escalation survives the chain, ask WITH a hypothesis, never a bare unknown. Also owns the no-placeholders-at-ingest rule: pages created during bulk ingestion get their relationship/role resolved immediately.

This is a copy of a skill from another catalog; the rating counts the canonical one: resolve-before-asking (garrytan/gbrain)

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
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.

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: ../conventions/brain-first.md, ../_brain-filing-rules.md, ../ask-user/SKILL.md
  • 0Tools and files. 7 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
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
  • 85Steps. 51 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3171 tokens
  • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
  • low 12 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

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)
  • -5TODO / placeholder text left in the skill
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 428: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 21 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 51 items
  • +3Output format is stated explicitly
  • +4Has examples (5 code blocks)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 55.
