BC web-search-plus
Unified search skill with Intelligent Auto-Routing. Uses multi-signal analysis to automatically select between Serper (Google), Tavily (Research), Exa (Neural), Perplexity (AI Answers), You.com (RAG/Real-time), and SearXNG (Privacy/Self-hosted) with confidence scoring.
As a process C 58/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, consistency
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
- 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-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 58/100
- 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
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (web-search-plus) differs from the folder (web-search-plus-2-8-6)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 85Steps. 21 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2139 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- low 15 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.
