Main Loop
For each skill, execute this loop until the frontmatter aligns with convention, have thorough routing tests AND routing tests pass:
- READ - Load
plugins/{plugin}/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md, and vally eval suites inevals/{skill-name}/*.yaml. - VERIFY - Compare the skill frontmatter with conventions in CONVENTIONS. If the skill's frontmatter violates any written convention, notify the user and propose a fix to align the frontmatter with the convention.
- SCAFFOLD - If
evals/{skill-name}/doesn't exist, follow instructions invally-evalskill to scaffold a set of routing tests. The routing tests test if the skill can be invoked for target user prompts. Generate user prompts that match the target scenario of the skill's description. - IMPROVE - If the skill description doesn't already have WHEN: triggers, add them.
- TEST - Follow instructions in
vally-evalskill to run the routing tests. If there are failed tests, suggest fixes. - SUMMARY - Display before/after comparison with unimplemented suggestions.
- PROMPT - Ask user to commit the fixes or take any alternative actions.
- REPEAT - Go to step 2 (max 5 iterations per skill)
Constraints
- Only modify
plugins/{plugin}/skills/- these are the Azure skills used by Copilot - Files in
.github/skills/should be left as is - Max 5 iterations per skill before moving on
