BB journal-review

Drafts a referee report on someone else's manuscript for a journal editor — a recommendation, a summary of the claim and design, three to six major concerns that drive the decision, additional concerns, and a coherent revision plan, produced by five parallel adversarial finders (Breaker, Butcher, Shredder, Void, Situator), a Blue Team error filter, a Chief Reviewer synthesis, and a Tone Guard legal pass, with an optional confidential note to the editor. Use when the user has been asked to referee a manuscript for a journal. Self-audit of the user's own draft goes to paper-review-lite or presubmit, and writing an author-side response to reviewers goes to referee-response.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
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

  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 7043 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/

Process rating: all ten parameters 72/100

  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 30Running it twice. 16 mutating operations with no state check
  • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 7043 tokens
  • 85Steps. 32 steps, 2 vague phrases
  • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
  • 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • low 15 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
  • low The response is described with custom markup (12 tags): a typed call is more reliable

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)
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 679: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 22 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 32 items
  • +3Output format is stated explicitly
  • +4Has examples (4 code blocks)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 77.
