SKILLEMALL.ai

BB vlm-ocr

OCR scanned or image-only corpora with vision-language models, in three phases. Use `evaluate` to compare candidate OCR systems against stratified human ground truth and pick one on measured CER/WER, `run` to build the production pipeline (model selection, image handling, prompts, architecture, batching, accuracy evaluation, reproducibility), and `clean` to correct raw OCR text with LLM and rule-based passes, quality diagnostics, multilingual handling, and span-level provenance. Not for born-digital documents with a text layer — those go to $doc-to-markdown.

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 ≈ 12084 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/

Process rating: all ten parameters 67/100

  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 12084 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 85Steps. 166 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
  • 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 The skill ranks results itself: that belongs to the system behind the tool, not the model
  • high The skill tells the model to perform an irreversible action with no human approval

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.
