BB Notes (Local, Apple, Notion, Obsidian & more)
Captures, structures, and retrieves notes in local markdown, Apple Notes, Bear, Obsidian, Notion, or Evernote. Use when the user says take notes, write this up, capture this, or turn this transcript into a note; for meeting, 1-on-1, decision, journal, project, or research notes; when a note must land in a specific app or vault; when action items need owners and real dates; when a note cannot be found again and titles, tags, folders, or an index are the problem; when quick captures pile up untriaged; when a decision needs a durable record; when a vault shows conflicted copies, duplicates, or links broken by a rename; when notes must move between apps, be exported, or be backed up; and when something is too sensitive to write down at all. Not for journaling practice and prompts (`journal`), meeting facilitation and agendas (`meetings`), Notion API development (`notion-api-integration`), running a to-do list (`task-list`), or growing a linked atomic-note knowledge base (`pkm`).
As a process B 67/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, consistency, running it twice
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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 67/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 22 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Notes (Local, Apple, Notion, Obsidian & more)) differs from the folder (notes)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5727 tokens
- 100Steps. 43 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 6 branches, has a failure section
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 12 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.
