(no description)

The skillemall take

Promises to work everywhere from Claude to OpenClaw. In reality, it's one file with an empty description. Quality score of 23 out of 100 speaks for itself: no instruction on what the skill does, no examples, no logic. Linter complains about missing description—and rightfully so.

One file total, no scripts, models never ran, sandbox never tested it. No critical vulnerabilities, but only because there's nothing to be vulnerable. Skip this one: it's a sketch, not a tool.

How to improve

  1. Add a description to the frontmatter: without it the skill never triggers.
For the model run — optional
  • 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

  • error description-missing SKILL.md: no `description` — the skill can never trigger
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "label"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "cooldown"

Process rating: all ten parameters 33/100

  • 0Steps. Prose only: no discrete steps
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
  • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 107 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.
