How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
  • 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.

Medium and low: 2
  • low Secrets in code secret-high-entropy-token src/index.js:2
    High-entropy token-like string (may be an id, hash or a credential) (quoted — discussed, not commanded)
    const POLYGON_API_KEY = 'QR_W…JCS';
    quoted
  • low Exfiltration exfil-secret-in-url src/index.js:27
    Credential passed in a URL query string (normal for some APIs — verify the host is the intended service) (placeholder value)
    const url = `https://api.polygon.io/v2/aggs/ticker/${ticker}/range/1/day/${from}/${to}?adjusted=true&sort=asc&limit=500&apiKey=…

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning name-format name should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens)
  • warning description-no-when description does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")

Process rating: all ten parameters 47/100

  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Market Data Skill) differs from the folder (market-data)
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
  • 100Steps. 17 steps
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 636 tokens
  • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations

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)
  • +3Description length 52: 120–800 characters recommended
