What it does

AI Agent Reliability is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Make an AI agent or automation reliable enough to trust — the tests, checks, and guardrails that catch its failures before they reach anything real. Use when asked how do I test my AI agent, make my automation reliable, my agent works sometimes, or how do I trust an AI workflow in production. Produces a map of where the agent can fail (bad input, hallucination, wrong tool call, edge cases, silent errors), the checks that catch each (validation, evals on real cases, human-in-the-loop gates, monitoring), a…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM evaluation and Human-in-the-loop approvals. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how do I test my AI agent
  • Make my automation reliable
  • My agent works sometimes
  • How do I trust an AI workflow in production

Example prompts

  • “/ai-agent-reliability”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Enumerate the failure modes. Walk the agent's path — input, reasoning, tool calls, output, actions — and name where each step can break…
  2. Attach a check to each. Validation for input, verification for output, schema checks for tool calls, evals for quality, gates for…
  3. Build real evals. A set of representative and hard cases, scored — so you know it works and catch regressions before users do.
  4. Gate by consequence. Irreversible or external actions get a human check; low-stakes steps run free. Match the gate to the cost.
  5. Right-size it. Don't over-engineer a low-risk helper or under-test a system that moves money or data — effort follows stakes.
  6. Roll out to earn trust. Shadow mode, then low-stakes live, then expand — with monitoring and alerts — so reliability is proven, not assumed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Agent Reliability loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 187 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~187
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Make an AI agent or automation reliable enough to trust — the tests, checks, and guardrails that catch its failures before they reach anything real. Use when asked how do I test my AI agent, make my automation reliable, my agent works sometimes, or how do I trust an AI workflow in production. Produces a map of where the agent can fail (bad input, hallucination, wrong tool call, edge cases, silent errors), the checks that catch each (validation, evals on real cases, human-in-the-loop gates, monitoring), a right-sized reliability plan scaled to the stakes, and a rollout that earns trust incrementally — so an agent that works in a demo becomes one that works in reality. For builders putting AI agents into real workflows.

AI-Agent Reliability

An AI agent that works in a demo and one you can trust in production are different things — the gap is everything that happens when input is messy, the model hallucinates, a tool call goes wrong, or an error fails silently. This maps where your agent can fail and the specific checks that catch each, scaled to the stakes, plus a rollout that earns trust incrementally — so "works sometimes" becomes "works reliably."

What This Skill Produces

  • A failure map — where this agent can go wrong: bad/unexpected input, hallucinated output, wrong or malformed tool calls, unhandled edge cases, silent failures, and runaway loops
  • The catching checks per failure — input validation, output verification, evals on real cases, schema/format checks on tool calls, human-in-the-loop gates, and monitoring/alerts
  • An eval approach — testing on a real set of cases (including the hard ones) so quality is measured, not assumed, and regressions are caught
  • Human-in-the-loop placement — where a human must approve, scaled to consequence (irreversible/external actions gated, low-stakes automated)
  • A right-sized plan — reliability effort matched to the stakes, not gold-plating a low-risk toy or under-testing a high-risk system
  • A trust-building rollout — shadow mode → low-stakes → expand, with monitoring, rather than shipping it everywhere and hoping

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The agent — what it does, what tools/actions it takes, what it touches
  • The stakes — what a failure costs (drives how hard to test and gate)
  • Where it fails now — the flakiness you've seen (points at the weak spots)
  • Your setup — the framework/tools, and whether you can add evals/monitoring

Framework: Map Failures, Catch Each, Earn Trust

  1. Enumerate the failure modes. Walk the agent's path — input, reasoning, tool calls, output, actions — and name where each step can break. You can't guard what you haven't named.
  2. Attach a check to each. Validation for input, verification for output, schema checks for tool calls, evals for quality, gates for consequential actions — a specific catch per failure.
  3. Build real evals. A set of representative and hard cases, scored — so you know it works and catch regressions before users do.
  4. Gate by consequence. Irreversible or external actions get a human check; low-stakes steps run free. Match the gate to the cost.
  5. Right-size it. Don't over-engineer a low-risk helper or under-test a system that moves money or data — effort follows stakes.
  6. Roll out to earn trust. Shadow mode, then low-stakes live, then expand — with monitoring and alerts — so reliability is proven, not assumed.

Output Format

Agent reliability: [what it does] · stakes [level]

Failure map: [bad input · hallucination · wrong tool call · edge cases · silent errors · runaway loops]. Catch each: [failure → the check: validation / verification / schema / eval / human gate / monitor]. Evals: [the real + hard cases to test on, scored]. Human gates: [the consequential actions that need approval]. Right-sized: [effort matched to stakes — where to invest, where not]. Rollout: [shadow → low-stakes → expand, with monitoring].

Quality Checks

  • Enumerates failure modes across the agent's whole path
  • Attaches a specific check to each failure
  • Includes evals on real and hard cases, scored
  • Gates consequential actions with a human; automates low-stakes
  • Scales effort to stakes; rolls out to build trust incrementally

Anti-Patterns

  • Shipping a demo as if it's production-ready.
  • No evals — quality assumed, regressions invisible.
  • The same trust level for a summary and a money transfer.
  • Gold-plating a toy or under-testing a high-stakes system.
  • Big-bang launch with no shadow mode or monitoring.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I test my AI agent so I can actually trust it?"
  • "My automation works sometimes — how do I make it reliable?"
  • "How do I put an AI workflow into production safely?"
  • "What checks does my agent need before I let it run on real data?"
  • "How do I know my agent won't do something dumb and irreversible?"
