BC Engineering Manager OS
Complete engineering management system — team building, 1:1s, performance, hiring, architecture decisions, incident management, and scaling. From IC-to-manager transition through director-level operations.
As a process C 56/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency

How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens) - warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when") - warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 8204 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 56/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 20 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Engineering Manager OS) differs from the folder (afrexai-engineering-manager)
- 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 8204 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 70Failures and branches. 9 branches
- 85Steps. 151 steps, 2 vague phrases
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 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.
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
- -212 emoji in the instructions: noise for the model
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 205: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 55 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 151 items
- +4Has examples (12 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 55.

This is an instruction-only engineering management playbook, with the main caution being careful handling of employee-related notes and decisions.
