BC email-testing
End-to-end testing of email-dependent flows — signup confirmation, password reset, magic-link login, OTP/MFA codes, and notification emails. Covers the capture-inbox decision tree (Mailpit, Mailosaur, MailSlurp, Ethereal), Playwright polling without fixed sleeps, regex extraction of links/OTPs from the email body, deterministic per-test addresses (plus-addressing, per-inbox), subject/from/header/link assertions, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC deliverability checks as a separate suite. Use when: "test the signup confirmation email," "password reset email test," "magic-link login test," "capture OTP from email," "Mailpit," "Mailosaur," "MailSlurp," "email arrives flaky in CI," "assert email subject/from/links." Not for: Sending transactional email from your app code, or API-only contract tests of an email provider — those are api-testing / app concerns. Email HTML rendering across clients (Outlook/Gmail dark mode) is out of scope (note it as a gap; use visual-testing or Litmus). Related: playwright-automation, api-testing, test-data-management, qa-project-context.

As a process C 59/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, progress reporting
How to improve
- Shorten the description to 1024 characters.
- 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-longdescription is 1066 chars, limit 1024
Process rating: all ten parameters 59/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4228 tokens
- 100Steps. 41 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 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
- low 15 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
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.
