AC switchboard
Cost-optimize AI agent operations by routing tasks to appropriate models based on complexity. Use this skill when: (1) deciding which model to use for a task, (2) spawning sub-agents, (3) considering cost efficiency, (4) the current model feels like overkill for the task. Triggers: "model routing", "cost optimization", "which model", "too expensive", "spawn agent", "cheap model", "expensive", "tier 1", "tier 2", "tier 3".

As a process C 51/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency
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 51/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (switchboard) differs from the folder (router)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 85Steps. 66 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2995 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 12 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.
