Get BCQuality skill file

bcquality_get_skill
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the parsed content of any skill file in the BCQuality repository by providing its repo-relative path.

Instructions

Returns the parsed contents of a skill file — either a meta-skill (skills/entry.md, read.md, do.md, write.md) or an action skill under /skills/.

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate a safe, idempotent read. The description adds context about file types parsed but does not disclose error handling or limitations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. Every clause adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the output schema exists and the single parameter is well-defined, the description covers the tool's scope adequately. Minor gap: no mention of what 'parsed' entails beyond file types.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The sole parameter 'path' is fully described in the schema with examples. The tool description reuses those examples, adding no new semantic information beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it returns parsed contents of skill files and distinguishes between meta-skills and action skills. It differentiates from sibling tools like bcquality_get_knowledge.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use when needing parsed skill file contents but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternative tools are mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
