AC lmstudio-subagents
Reduces token usage from paid providers by offloading work to local LM Studio models. Use when: (1) Cutting costs—use local models for summarization, extraction, classification, rewriting, first-pass review, brainstorming when quality suffices, (2) Avoiding paid API calls for high-volume or repetitive tasks, (3) No extra model configuration—JIT loading and REST API work with existing LM Studio setup, (4) Local-only or privacy-sensitive work. Requires LM Studio 0.4+ with server (default :1234). No CLI required.
As a process C 58/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, 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 58/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (lmstudio-subagents) differs from the folder (lm-studio-subagents)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 5 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1780 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low The response is described with custom markup (5 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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

- -2localhost URLs: will not work for another user
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 515: enough signal without eating the budget
