BB pua-debugging-en
Forces exhaustive problem-solving using corporate PUA rhetoric and structured debugging methodology. MUST trigger when: (1) any task has failed 2+ times or you're stuck in a loop tweaking the same approach; (2) you're about to say 'I cannot', suggest the user do something manually, or blame the environment without verifying; (3) you catch yourself being passive — not searching, not reading source, not verifying, just waiting for instructions; (4) user expresses frustration in ANY form: 'try harder', 'stop giving up', 'figure it out', 'why isn't this working', 'again???', or any similar sentiment even if phrased differently. Also trigger when facing complex multi-step debugging, environment issues, config problems, or deployment failures where giving up early is tempting. Applies to ALL task types: code, config, research, writing, deployment, infrastructure, API integration. Do NOT trigger on first-attempt failures or when a known fix is already executing successfully.
As a process B 65/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, progress reporting
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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 65/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (read, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Failures and branches. 7 branches
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5254 tokens
- 100Steps. 53 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- 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.
