BC dial-cli
Reference for the `dial` CLI — gives you a real phone number to send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive inbound texts/codes via the Dial platform (getdial.ai). Use when the user mentions phones, calls, texts, SMS, voice, OTP, 2FA, or verification codes; when they ask to text, call, ring, or wait for a code from someone; before running any `dial …` command for the first time in a session; or when investigating what the Dial platform can do. Load this skill before invoking the CLI — `dial --help` alone will not surface the workflows, the `--json` conventions, or the docs-lookup pattern needed to use Dial correctly.

As a process C 57/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, progress reporting
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 57/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 14 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1877 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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.
