VERIFY-01 Evals or tests present
SKILL.md:1the skill works no evals/, tests/, or verification section found
No way to prove the skill does what it claims.
Fix Add an evals/ folder (test prompts + expected outcomes) and a '## Verify' step in the body.
TOKEN-01 Body under line/token budget
SKILL.md500-line guidance 573 lines
SKILL.md is 573 lines — over the ~500-line guidance. ~28,725 tokens (rough est.); ~$0.0862 per load at $3/Mtok reference rate.
Fix Move heavy reference material into supporting files and link to them (progressive disclosure), keeping SKILL.md lean.
TOKEN-03 Description budget footprint
SKILL.md:1
Description is 1068 chars (~356 tokens) — heavy for something loaded every turn.
Fix Tighten the description; it is always-on budget cost.
TOKEN-04 Recurring per-invocation cost
SKILL.mda one-time authoring cost ~28,725 tokens (rough est.) per invocation
Every invocation carries this: ~28,725 tokens (rough est.) per invocation — ~$86.17 per 1,000 invocations at the $3/Mtok reference rate.
Fix Cut the entry file below ~8k tokens — move reference material into supporting files so every future invocation gets cheaper.
