BB probation-tracker
Probation register: employee, start and end dates, 30, 60 and 90-day review scores, overall score and confirmation letter. Use for probation tracking.
The skill promises to track employee probation with start and end dates, 30, 60, and 90-day review scores, overall rating, and confirmation letter. One file contains 3728 tokens, no scripts, no critical errors. Quality scored 79%, process 66%, safety 100%. No model runs or sandbox testing. For basic probation record-keeping it works: structure is there, no code issues, runs on Claude and Hermes. If you need score calculation automation or HR system integration, look elsewhere. Install if basic documentation fits your workflow.

How to improve
- For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
- 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 66/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 38 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3802 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 13 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.
