BC self-managed-context
This skill should be used when a model gets read-write control over its own live context window instead of a harness-scheduled compaction policy: the context exposed as an editable file the model rewrites with code tools, model-driven eviction and in-place updates, the harness invariants that keep self-editing safe (pinned prefix, edit gate, edit receipts, budget readouts, rollback on overflow), the prefix-cache cost of mid-context edits, and steering or training the model's own context-editing strategy. Route note content and fixed-threshold summarization to context-compression, cache-stable layout under harness control to context-optimization, file offloading to filesystem-context, and loop governance to self-improvement-loops.

As a process C 57/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5831 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 57/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, read) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5831 tokens
- 100Steps. 73 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The skill ranks results itself: that belongs to the system behind the tool, not the model
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.
