BF what-to-ask
Get the five questions that matter before you sign, buy, or agree to anything — the front door to the decoder family, routed by situation. Use when asked what should I ask before signing this, I'm about to buy X what do I check, what questions for the landlord/dealer/contractor/HR, or what am I forgetting. Produces the five highest-leverage questions for the specific situation with why each matters and what a bad answer sounds like, plus the pointer to the full decoder when one exists.

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.

- 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. 22 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1076 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.
