AB deep-research-team
This skill should be used when the user asks for "deep research", "research team", "comprehensive analysis", "research report", "investigate thoroughly", "compare X vs Y in depth", or needs synthesis across multiple sources with verification. It spawns a coordinated team of researcher agents across multiple rounds, with the lead triaging findings and creating targeted follow-up tasks. Scales from Focused (2 researchers, 1-2 rounds) to Comprehensive (4 researchers, 3-4 rounds with cross-verification). Do NOT use for simple lookups, debugging, or questions answerable with 1-2 searches.

As a process B 67/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5618 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 67/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 17 mutating operations with no state check
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5618 tokens
- 100Steps. 78 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- 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.
