How to improve

  1. For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
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 57/100

  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
  • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
  • 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
  • 100Steps. 48 steps
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1719 tokens
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing

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 221: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 16 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 48 items
  • +4Has examples (5 code blocks)
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 76.
