The Skill Review: A New Artifact for a New Workflow

The Skill Review: A New Artifact for a New Workflow

Short summary

A senior engineer introduces a five-dimension 'skill review' framework for evaluating AI agent skills before stress testing. The framework covers routing signals, output contracts, methodology, idempotency, and failure modes — questions that code review alone cannot answer. The author argues skill reviews and stress tests are complementary but should be run in the correct order: review first, stress test second.

  • •Introduces a 5-dimension skill review framework for AI agent skills
  • •Skill reviews catch issues stress tests cannot: routing, output contracts, methodology generalization
  • •Reviews should precede stress tests, not follow them

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
