BB falsify

The scientific thinking protocol for AI agents. Use when facing complex, ambiguous, or high-stakes questions where guessing is costly: hypothesis → attempt to break it → evidence → calibrated conclusion.

How to improve

  1. For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
  2. 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 71/100

  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 7585 tokens
  • 85Steps. 78 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
  • 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
  • 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 12 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.

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)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 203: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 21 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 78 items
  • +4Has examples (2 code blocks)
