AC construction-quote
Generate itemised construction quotes, material lists, and job costings from plain English job descriptions. Covers extensions, kitchens, bathrooms, loft conversions, roofing, and general building work with UK material prices and labour rates. Use when a builder, tradesperson, or contractor needs to quote a job or estimate costs.
As a process C 62/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5486 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 62/100
- 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. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Failures and branches. 12 branches
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5486 tokens
- 85Steps. 29 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
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.
