Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
During a late-night outage, the on-call engineer was unable to resolve a database lockout because only one senior team member holds the necessary expertise, leading to slow onboarding and communication gaps. Which operational problem category fits this scenario?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |

| Classifies communication gaps, knowledge silos, and skill gaps under Operational Problems in Human factors | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
| Category | Sub-Category | Common Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| System Failures | App crashes, memory leaks, deadlocks, data corruption | Service unavailability, resource exhaustion, integrity errors |
| System Failures | Hardware, network, database, security | Connectivity loss, capacity limits, access failures |
| Performance | Response time: slow queries, latency, algorithmic inefficiency | High p95/p99, user-reported slowness |
| Performance | Throughput: thread pool exhaustion, connection limits, queue backlog | Reduced capacity, growing queues |
| Integration | Internal: component comms, data format, version conflicts | Interface errors, serialization failures |
| Integration | External: third-party availability, API changes, auth failures | Timeouts, contract violations |
| Category | Common Symptoms |
|---|---|
| Deployment: script failures, config drift, migration errors | Failed releases, environment inconsistencies |
| Monitoring: alerting gaps, backup failures, incident response | Missed incidents, slow recovery |
| Human factors: communication gaps, knowledge silos, skill gaps | Repeated mistakes, slow onboarding |
Logs: application (timestamp correlation) | system/infrastructure | database | network traces
Metrics: performance/resource utilization | error rates/response time trends | user behavior/transaction patterns | infrastructure health/capacity
Configuration: system/deployment settings | code changes/VCS history (git log, blame) | env vars/dependencies | security/access controls
