AC virtual-reading-group
Orchestrate a multi-agent virtual academic reading group. Use when reading multiple papers, generating expert discussion notes, cross-examining positions across papers, and synthesizing integrated summaries with full citations. Triggers on requests to analyze academic literature, run paper discussions, create reading group sessions, or synthesize research across multiple sources. Supports 1-50 papers with configurable expert personas (1-4 papers work but produce simpler single-expert output).
As a process C 62/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, progress reporting
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 62/100
- 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
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 70 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2469 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 11 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
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 497: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 27 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 70 items
- +4Has examples (3 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (3 of 3)
