AB conflict-deescalation
Calm a heated conflict — in person or in writing — before it does damage, by lowering the temperature instead of winning the point. Use when asked help me de-escalate this, this argument is getting heated, calm this situation down, or how do I respond without making it worse. Produces a read on what's actually driving the heat (often an unmet need under the surface argument), the de-escalation moves (acknowledge, slow down, find the shared ground), what to say and what to avoid, and how to steer toward resolution once the temperature drops — because you can't solve anything while everyone's activated.

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
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 37 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1032 tokens
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.
