CD legal-document-drafting-formatting-alessandro-dardano
Produces properly-formatted legal documents in Word (.docx). The user provides the substantive content (instructions, attached files, project knowledge); the skill handles document architecture and formatting. * No precedent or template required * Seven document families: agreements, corporate documents, litigation, memos, employment, policies, correspondence * Jurisdiction-agnostic — works across any legal system the user specifies * Multi-Chain numbering, defined-terms convention, structured recitals, atomic signature blocks * Also reformats existing .docx to a consistent house style * Works in Claude.ai, Cowork, and Claude for Word

How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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 36/100
- 0Tools and files. 8 referenced file(s) missing: assets/inhouse-mc-template.docx, references/workflow.md, references/formatting-and-numbering.md
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 14 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (legal-document-drafting-formatting-alessandro-dardano) differs from the folder (legal-document-drafting-alessandro-dardano)
- 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 8620 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 85Steps. 54 steps, 2 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 10 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.
