Resident footprint

101t of description text ride in the system prompt of every message (paper's observed per-skill range: 50–280t).

Description honesty

Reads as a statement of purpose, not defensive trigger padding.

Body size

Largest body is 1,234 words (~2,322t), loaded on every trigger. Corpus median 921, p90 2207.

Progressive disclosure

13 auxiliary .md files ship but the body never points at them — the agent won't find them.

Factoring

27 sections in one skill.

CLI leverage

Drives a CLI (`workflow`, 2 invocations + 3 shell blocks) — verification and state live in code, not prompt.

B overall (3.40/4). 1 skill(s), 101t resident on every message (light), 2,322t loaded per activation. Weakest axis: progressive disclosure (C).

How this was graded

Six deterministic axes from “@skills: Attention Is All You Have” (Yin et al., 2026) and the open seo-skill-bench footprint scorer: resident footprint, description honesty, body size, progressive disclosure, factoring, and CLI leverage. Tokens are approximated as chars/4. No LLM, no signup, same result every run. Read the full methodology.
