CC building-patch-tuesday-response-process
Establish a repeatable operational process for triaging, testing, and deploying Microsoft Patch Tuesday security updates (Windows, Office, Exchange, SQL Server, Azure) via WSUS/SCCM within risk-based remediation SLAs, from advisory review through validation. Use when building or improving a monthly patch management workflow or prioritizing which CVEs to remediate first.

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, running it twice
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 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 11 mutating operations with no state check
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 28 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2147 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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -43 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
- -32 of 2 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 372: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 17 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 28 items
