AF side-business-setup
Set up a side business in the right order — the do-first sequence (separate money, basic terms, simple records) vs. the feels-official-but-waits list (logos, LLCs-by-default, office chairs), with the structure question framed honestly and routed properly. Use when asked I'm starting a side business what do I need, do I need an LLC, set up my side hustle properly, or what comes first legally and financially. Produces the ordered setup sequence, the structure-decision framing (jurisdiction-flagged, professional-routed), the money-hygiene rules, and the employer-conflict check most people skip.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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 52/100
- 0Tools and files. 2 referenced file(s) missing: ../first-client-contract/SKILL.md, ../quarterly-tax-rhythm/SKILL.md
- 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
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 23 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1451 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- 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.
