BC convoy
The definitive guide for working with gastown's convoy system -- batch work tracking, event-driven feeding, stage-launch workflow, and dispatch safety guards. Use when writing convoy code, debugging convoy behavior, adding convoy features, testing convoy changes, or answering questions about how convoys work. Triggers on convoy, convoy manager, convoy feeding, dispatch, stranded convoy, feedFirstReady, feedNextReadyIssue, IsSlingableType, isIssueBlocked, CheckConvoysForIssue, gt convoy, gt sling, stage, launch, staged, wave.

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, running it twice, progress reporting
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 ≈ 5071 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 148, 365, 367): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 11 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5071 tokens
- 85Steps. 60 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (4 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 530: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 31 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 60 items
- +4Has examples (12 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 74.
