How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5993 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 75): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 23 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5993 tokens
- 100Steps. 107 steps
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 20 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.
