AB critical-thinking
Activate when: user says 'challenge my thinking', 'play devil's advocate', 'what's the strongest counter-argument', 'ACH', 'analysis of competing hypotheses'; user needs to evaluate a high-stakes claim or decision with multiple possible interpretations; user suspects motivated reasoning or a team is converging too fast on one answer. Do NOT activate when: the claim is trivial or already well-validated; the decision is about values rather than facts (use regret-minimization or first-principles instead).

As a process B 66/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, 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 66/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 65Failures and branches. 3 branches
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 44 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2169 tokens
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.
