AB adu-city-research
Researches city-level ADU regulations, municipal codes, and standard details for any California city. This skill supports three research modes — Discovery (WebSearch to find key URLs), Targeted Extraction (WebFetch to pull content from discovered URLs), and Browser Fallback (Chrome MCP for cities with difficult websites). When used standalone, run all three modes sequentially. When invoked by an orchestrator (e.g., adu-corrections-flow), run in the specified mode only. Triggers on city-specific ADU questions, corrections letter items referencing municipal code, or when the California ADU state-level skill indicates a question requires local jurisdiction rules.

As a process B 67/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, progress reporting
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 67/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 85Steps. 31 steps, 3 vague phrases
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3694 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
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.
