BC switchboard-data-operator

Autonomous operator for Switchboard on-demand feeds, Surge streaming, and randomness. Designs jobs, simulates via Crossbar, and deploys/updates/reads feeds across Solana/SVM, EVM, Sui, and other Switchboard-supported chains—with user-controlled security, spend limits, and allow/deny lists.

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
  2. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
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.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning description-no-when description does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 14772 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/

Process rating: all ten parameters 64/100

  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 30Running it twice. 40 mutating operations with no state check
  • 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 14772 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, node) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 60Steps. 321 steps, 8 vague phrases
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 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

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
