BC fetch-pubmed-recent
Fetches PubMed articles posted in a given date window matching a keyword set, returning normalized records (PMID, title, authors, abstract, journal, date, DOI, URL). Uses NCBI E-utilities (`esearch` + `esummary` + `efetch`) via WebFetch for portability, but prefers a PubMed MCP server's `search_articles` + `get_article_metadata` tools when one is connected (faster, paginated, parsed). Builds date-bounded queries with optional MeSH expansion. Domain-neutral - usable for any PubMed scan, not just one project. Use when user mentions PubMed, NCBI, last-N-days PubMed, weekly PubMed scan, MeSH search, or when a literature-scan agent needs structured PubMed records.

As a process C 54/100 · 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 54/100
- 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
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 85Steps. 21 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2053 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 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 667: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 5 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 21 items
