BF slack
Operate Slack workspaces from a terminal or agent: list channels, read messages, follow threads, search message history, list files, and verify inbound webhook signatures — with a bundled slack-cli script that is read-only by default and gates every send behind a --dry-run/--yes confirmation. Use when an agent needs to read or post Slack data, triage incidents, or answer questions about what was said in a workspace. Do not use for building Slack apps or bots (that is application development) or workspace administration like user provisioning and org settings (that is the Slack admin console).

As a process F 41/100 · Will not run — References files that are not bundled: ../backend-engineering/SKILL.md, scripts/slack-cli
How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 41/100
- 0Tools and files. 2 referenced file(s) missing: ../backend-engineering/SKILL.md, scripts/slack-cli
- 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. 6 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 100Steps. 32 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2109 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 11 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low No test case covers injection arriving through data
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.
