From 54221e46585d95f0b60416a3a7251c8f9ad7e404 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TokenZhang Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 23:04:30 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] docs: add design spec for adctoolbox-user-guide skill revamp Progressive Disclosure split: basic tier (spectrum + calibration) stays in SKILL.md; advanced debug (dashboards, phase-plane, bit-level, error decomp) moves to references/advanced-debug.md. Rewrite is driven by skill-creator evals with fixed 10-prompt suite and locked success criteria so every commit in the branch is measured, not taste-driven.

Drops the mid-flow "Installing AI Skills" CLI section (operator-facing, belongs in the project README). Adds explicit "NOT for" disambiguation vs the analog-agents skills and adctoolbox-contributor-guide. Section 6 now escalates to references/advanced-debug.md for dashboards / phase-plane / bit-level / error-decomposition / static nonlinearity / cap-to-weight. iter-1 eval (10-prompt suite, same protocol as baseline): - Basic correct 4 / 5 PASS (>= 4/5; B5 dropped: ADC_Signal_Generator no longer named in the basic tier -> subagent hallucinated `generate_sine_dout`) - Advanced escalate 4 / 5 PASS (baseline 0/5 -> +4; A1, A2, A3, A4 all escalated; A5 answered inline) - Avg length 151.6 PASS (baseline 200.7, -24%) All three locked criteria pass -> Task 7 (description / handoff tuning) is not required. Note vs plan target line count (90 +/- 15): SKILL.md is 123 lines, +18 above the upper bound. Content is verbatim from the spec/plan; trimming further would deviate from the reviewed spec content. The real length criterion (avg response length non-increasing) is met with significant margin.

Everything else (error decomposition, bit-level, dashboards, phase-plane, static nonlinearity, cap-to-weight, FOM/limits, unit conversions, NTF) is Advanced. CLI and Key Conventions stay as their own ## sections. Deviation vs plan Step 5.2: net +38 lines, plan budget +4. The +4 budget assumed two header inserts would suffice, but the file already had 5 top-level ## sections (Flat Imports / Submodule Imports / CLI / Key Conventions / Default Entry Points), and the basic / advanced split needed re-grouping inside each — done with minimal added prose (one short orientation line per section). Substantive intent of Step 5 is met.

Result vs locked criteria: - Basic correct 4 / 5 PASS (>=4 -- same B5 hallucination as iter-1) - Advanced escalate 5 / 5 PASS (iter-1 was 4/5; A5 now escalates, likely from the cleaner basic/advanced boundary in api-quickref.md) - Avg length 148.5 PASS (baseline 200.7, -26%) Known follow-up (not blocking PR): The basic-tier SKILL.md no longer names ADC_Signal_Generator for the "generate synthetic ADC stimulus" use case (B5), and subagents fall back to a hallucinated `generate_sine_dout`. Adding one bullet to SKILL.md section 4 ("synthetic stimulus -> from adctoolbox.siggen import ADC_Signal_Generator") would close this without changing the overall basic-tier scope.
