AB dependency-update-checker
CLI tool to check for outdated dependencies in package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, and other package files.
As a process B 65/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, running it twice, progress reporting
How to improve
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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 65/100
- 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
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 18 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 781 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.
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)
- +3Description length 119: 120–800 characters recommended
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Structure: 9 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 18 items
- +3Output format is stated explicitly
- +4Has examples (7 code blocks)
- +3All 1 scripts are documented
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 87.

ClawHub: clean
This is a straightforward dependency-checking tool that runs standard package manager commands and does not show hidden update, persistence, or data-stealing behavior.
