BC cross-ref-topic-ledger
For each Trend Scout candidate item, checks substacker shared-context/topic-ledger.md and tags with NEW | OVERLAPS seed:{slug} | OVERLAPS draft:{slug} | OVERLAPS published:{slug}. Adds a reinforcement_angle note for items overlapping with published posts ("external confirmation of X"). Read-only against the ledger. Use after summarize-signal, before rank-by-user-fit. Trigger keywords — cross-ref, ledger check, overlap, reinforcement, dedup external.

As a process C 56/100 · 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 56/100
- 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
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 474 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.
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)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 453: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 5 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 12 items
- +4Has examples (1 code blocks)
