BC shipping-across-surfaces
Land a change everywhere the same fact is stated — enumerating the full surface inventory (landing copy, docs, machine-readable summaries, changelog badges repeated across every page, sitemap, README, descriptions embedded in code, and untyped frontend consumers of typed responses), generating a surface instead of restating it, drift tests where you cannot generate, never hand-maintaining a copy of a surface another codebase owns, shipping a paired PR when you change a format a different codebase decodes, and keeping overloaded product words apart. Use when adding or renaming a user-facing feature, editing product/marketing copy or docs, renaming a serialized response field, changing a serialization or share-link format, wiring one repo's output into another's checks, or reviewing a PR that touched only one place a fact appears.

As a process C 51/100 · 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 125): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 51/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 9 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (shipping-across-surfaces) differs from the folder (cross-surface-changes)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 15 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2742 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- high The skill tells the model to perform an irreversible action with no human approval
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)
- +3Description length 840: 120–800 characters recommended
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Structure: 10 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 15 items
- +4Has examples (5 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 81.
