CD component-extraction
Domain-neutral methodology for the third level of Adler-style reading - extracting structured components (terms, propositions, arguments, solutions) from a document section by section. Selects a reading strategy appropriate to document size and structure (section-based for documents under 50 pages with clear sections; windowing for long documents without breaks; targeted for hybrid content where only specific sections matter). Writes per-section extraction notes that downstream synthesis can consume. Reusable across any extraction workflow - skill creation from a methodology document, Pass-2 content grasp on a paper's full text, evidence-mining from a long-form report. Use when an agent has done structural analysis and now needs to extract the actual atomic content. Trigger keywords - component extraction, section-by-section extraction, extract terms, extract propositions, extract arguments, Adler Level 3, interpretive reading.

How to improve
- 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.

- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 27 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1774 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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.
