Phase 3: Meta-Evaluation Check

Run meta-evaluation on evaluation-related skills to validate recursive quality.

Step 1: Run Meta-Evaluation

# Run on all evaluation skills
python3 plugins/sanctum/scripts/meta_evaluation.py --plugins-root plugins/

# Run on specific plugin
python3 plugins/sanctum/scripts/meta_evaluation.py --plugins-root plugins/ --plugin abstract

# Verbose mode for detailed output
python3 plugins/sanctum/scripts/meta_evaluation.py --plugins-root plugins/ --verbose

What it checks:

• Recursive Quality: Evaluation skills meet their own

quality standards

• No Table of Contents: a long module is split, not

indexed

• Verification Steps: Code examples include verification

commands

• Concrete Quick Starts: Commands instead of abstract

descriptions

• Anti-Cargo Cult: Documentation warns against testing

theater

• Test Coverage: Critical evaluation skills have BDD test

validation

Skills evaluated:

• abstract: skills-eval, hooks-eval, modular-skills
• imbue: proof-of-work, evidence-logging
• leyline: evaluation-framework, testing-quality-standards
• pensive: review-core, test-review, api-review,

architecture-review

• sanctum: pr-review, test-updates
• parseltongue: python-testing
• conserve: code-quality-principles

Step 2: Review Report

The script reports by severity and pass rate:

By Severity:
  Critical: X  - Skills missing or broken
  High: X      - Quality standards not met
  Medium: X    - Navigation/documentation issues
  Low: X       - Anti-cargo-cult documentation missing

Pass Rate:
  Skills Evaluated: X
  Skills Passed: X (Y%)
  Skills with Issues: X

Step 3: Create Action Items

For critical and high priority issues:

1. Create TodoWrite items for tracking:

   meta-eval:<plugin>:<skill>-<issue-type>

2. Recommend fixes based on issue type:

• Table of Contents present: remove it, split the module if

it needs navigation

• Missing verification: Add "Run `command`" after examples
• Abstract Quick Start: Replace with concrete commands
• Missing tests: Create BDD test file

To skip meta-evaluation: use `--skip-meta-eval` flag.
