As a process F 41/100 · Will not run — References files that are not bundled: url
How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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.

- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (reddit-research) differs from the folder (reddit-search-but-free)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section

- 100Steps. 26 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1613 tokens
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.
