AC cognitive-forge
Dual-value learning system - extracts reusable mental models from books, writes individual pattern files (patterns/{id}.md) with YAML frontmatter for building compound thinking ability. Each run produces: (1) F.A.C.E.T. analysis for user learning, (2) permanent knowledge base entry for AI's decision framework library. Supports breadth/depth modes, configurable topic mapping, multi-source book selection, and brief/full output.
As a process C 62/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 115 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3841 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- low 10 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.
