BC ssh-exec
A skill to execute SSH commands on remote servers, supporting both password and key-based authentication. It includes error handling and logging for command execution results.
As a process C 59/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, 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 59/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (ssh-exec) differs from the folder (sshexec)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 10 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 427 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 175: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 6 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 10 items
- +4Has examples (2 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 72.

ClawHub: suspicious
This SSH skill appears to do what it claims, but it gives broad remote command power with weak default host verification and limited safety guidance.
