Best practices and anti-patterns

What separates a skill people trust from one they uninstall: narrow scope, deterministic rules, real evidence on the Decision Card, budgets, versioning, and an honest failure path.

After this module you can…

  • Review a skill against a checklist before publishing it.
  • Name the four anti-patterns that most often break trust.

Key points

  • One skill, one job. A skill that does five things cannot be scoped or priced.
  • Rules must be checkable by a reviewer who never reads the prompt.
  • A Decision Card with no evidence panel is just a confirm dialog.
  • Version every change; never silently mutate a skill buyers already installed.
  • Anti-patterns: vague rules, hidden side effects, unbounded runs, simulated success.

Hands-on exercise: Review someone else's skill

  1. Open a skill you did not write and read only its manifest.
  2. Predict its risk tier and side effects, then check the derived contract.
  3. Write one concrete improvement.

Evidence of success: A written review naming one anti-pattern.

Knowledge check

Getting it wrong is fine — the explanation tells you why.

1. A skill's rules say "handle refunds sensibly". What is wrong?

2. You improve an installed skill. What must you do?
