Fetched SKILL.md (HTTP 200) and its only extra file agents/openai.yaml (HTTP 200); the body references no scripts, so nothing is broken. Frontmatter parses with name+description; no hardcoded paths or security smells. I ran one task — "Am I ready for P8?" given a payment-migration/latency/fraud-feature/mentoring profile — producing a baseline answer and a skill-followed answer. Baseline concluded "solid P8 case, push for the promotion" with generic advice; the skill reached the opposite verdict ("Not ready yet, strong P7"), mapped evidence in a table against the P8 capability model, flagged the weak-P8 "activity volume / single-system impact" patterns, applied the P7-to-P8 shift, did the 项目战功->领域叙事 reframe, and named the nearest credible level — a concrete, conclusion-changing difference.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What P8 Advisor does

A career advisory skill that evaluates an engineer's readiness for a first-tier tech company P8 (senior expert / architect / domain-owner) level using a fixed capability model, a P7-to-P8 shift, and a Ready / Near-ready / Not-ready-yet judgment. Triggers on requests for P8 assessment, promotion readiness, capability-gap analysis, resume or project review, interview prep, or growth planning framed around P8 expectations. Reframes scattered project wins into a coherent domain narrative and names the nearest credible level when evidence falls short.
