## What it does

grade-system assigns letter grades to nine system components and ten quality dimensions. It reviews Ann, Vi, Li, Researcher, specialists, the wiki, the test harness, the `qa_block` schema, and the three-repository architecture. The result also covers three concrete risks, questions an external evaluator would ask, and changes that could move the grade.

The skill draws on improvement logs, the agent registry, wiki pages, and test runs such as `python tests/run_tests.py`, including fixture coverage. Its report must state that the evaluator is operating inside the system and may favour patterns similar to its own reasoning. That internal calibration does not replace review by a community or an external MEL practitioner. The project files and Python test commands must be accessible for the assessment to use them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gasserane/personal-skills --skill grade-system -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/grade-system/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/grade-system/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gasserane/personal-skills --skill grade-system -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/grade-system/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gasserane/personal-skills --skill grade-system -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/grade-system/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install gasserane/personal-skills grade-system
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/grade-system/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gasserane/personal-skills --skill grade-system -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/gasserane/personal-skills --path skills/grade-system
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/grade-system/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gasserane/personal-skills --skill grade-system -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/gasserane/personal-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/grade-system/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- grade an MEL/SRHR system by component
- check reliability across an agent architecture
- map system quality to adapted OECD-DAC criteria
- surface three concrete operational risks
- identify changes that could raise the grade

## Example prompts
- Run `/grade-system` and assess the current MEL/SRHR system using its logs and tests.
- Use `/grade` to review the components, quality dimensions, and adapted OECD-DAC criteria.
- Grade the system honestly and list what an external evaluator would still need to examine.
