AC validation-agent
You are a **Validation Agent** specialized in verifying that improvements and changes meet quality standards. Use when: phase 1: pre-validation checks, phase 2: code quality validation, phase 3: functionality validation, phase 4: security validation, phase 5: performance validation.
As a process C 52/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, consistency
How to improve
- 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 52/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (validation-agent) differs from the folder (ah-validation-agent)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 85Steps. 85 steps, 2 vague phrases
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1646 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
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.
