BB time-capsule
Write messages to your future self — or your future team — that unlock when specific code conditions are met. "Dear future me: if you're reading this, someone finally tried to refactor the billing module. Here's what you need to know..." Encodes institutional knowledge into the codebase itself, triggered exactly when it's needed.
As a process B 67/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
- 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
description-long-hermesdescription is 332 chars; the Hermes authoring standard requires ≤ 60 (one sentence, ending with a period)
Process rating: all ten parameters 67/100
- 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
- 30Running it twice. 9 mutating operations with no state check
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3635 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)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -5TODO / placeholder text left in the skill
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 331: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 13 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 12 items
- +4Has examples (7 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 73.
