AC clinical-trial-search
Search clinical trial databases similar to ClinicalTrials.gov. Use this skill whenever the user asks about clinical trials, drug trials, indications, targets, drug names, trial phases, NCT IDs, enrollment, or recruitment. Automatically parses natural language questions into structured query parameters and calls the backend API to return matching trial records. Trigger words include: clinical trial, NCT, drug development, indication, target, phase, enrollment, recruitment, sponsor, cohort, arm, endpoint, efficacy, safety data.
As a process C 55/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
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 55/100
- 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. 6 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (clinical-trial-search) differs from the folder (clinical-trial)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 38 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 5 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2524 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.
