harness

Delegate a hard decision or conundrum to the Kyotee harness engine — a cross-vendor Council that debates to consensus, a Two-Brain divergent/ convergent debate, or a forced tool-checking solo run. Use when a decision is high-stakes, genuinely contested, or benefits from multiple model perspectives, and you want a synthesised answer (with dissent noted) back in this session. Requires a running kyotee engine (see setup).

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is an exemplary lean skill document: concrete executable commands, explicit failure modes and exit behavior, guidance on surfacing dissent, and clean organization with no padding or unnecessary references. It fully meets the rubric's expectations for a simple, single-purpose CLI-delegation skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~60-line body is lean and every section earns its place: when-to-use/when-not-to-use triggers, a three-line limitation guard against a plausible misuse, setup checks, and a copy-paste command. There is no re-explanation of concepts Claude already knows and no padded sections, matching the lean-and-efficient anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

The guidance is fully executable: a complete copy-paste-ready command with all relevant flags (`kyotee ask "..." --strategy council --consensus judge --budget 3.00 --wait`), concrete setup verification (`kyotee serve`, `kyotee providers`, `KYOTEE_URL` default), a documented machine-readable `--json` contract, and explicit exit-code behavior — matching the fully-executable anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-action skill whose action is unambiguous (check engine is running → run `kyotee ask --wait` → incorporate the answer and surface dissent), which the simple-skill exception allows to score 5. It additionally documents explicit error feedback: non-zero exits on engine errors or budget exhaustion, and fast-failure with a remedy message when the engine is absent, so it does not fall to the checkpoint-gap anchor at 4.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and none are needed — all content legitimately belongs in SKILL.md. Per the simple-skill guideline, well-organized sections with no need for external references score 5; the section structure (When to use / When NOT to use / Limitation / Setup / Usage) is clear and easy to navigate.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that clearly and explicitly states both what the skill does and when to use it, with concrete named strategies and good natural trigger phrases. Its only deductions are the second-person phrasing in the trigger clause and a few missing natural synonyms for the multi-model consultation concept.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — "a cross-vendor Council that debates to consensus", "a Two-Brain divergent/convergent debate", "a forced tool-checking solo run", and "a synthesised answer (with dissent noted)" — which matches the comprehensive-coverage anchor, but the second-person phrase "you want a synthesised answer back in this session" triggers the required 1-point specificity penalty, dropping it to 4.

4 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: the what is "Delegate a hard decision or conundrum to the Kyotee harness engine" with three named strategies, and the when is the explicit clause "Use when a decision is high-stakes, genuinely contested, or benefits from multiple model perspectives". This matches the top anchor with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases like "hard decision or conundrum", "high-stakes", "genuinely contested", and "multiple model perspectives" would plausibly appear in a user's request, but common variations such as "second opinion" or "cross-check with other models" are missing, matching the good-coverage-with-few-gaps anchor rather than the comprehensive one.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Delegating decisions to an external cross-vendor debate engine is a clear niche with distinct triggers (high-stakes, contested, multi-perspective decisions) and a named dependency (the kyotee engine), so conflict risk with other skills is minimal — matching the top anchor rather than the minor-overlap anchor below it.
