AB uncle-bob
Apply Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) principles for clean code, SOLID design, and clean architecture. Use when: (1) reviewing or refactoring code for quality, (2) designing modules, classes, or functions, (3) asked to "clean up" or improve code structure, (4) evaluating architectural boundaries, (5) naming things, (6) reducing coupling or increasing cohesion. Triggers on phrases like "clean code", "SOLID", "uncle bob", "clean architecture", "refactor for quality", "code smells", "single responsibility", "dependency inversion".
As a process B 70/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- 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 70/100
- 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. 4 mutating operations with no state check
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 64 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1554 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
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -5TODO / placeholder text left in the skill
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +5Description quotes 8 example trigger phrases
- +3Description length 530: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 17 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 64 items
- +4Has examples (1 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (2 of 2)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 88.
