What it does

Scoring Optimizer is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A specialized skill for analyzing evaluation scores and developing optimization strategies for grant/funding applications. Used by compliance-checker and plan-writer agents when optimizing scores per evaluation criterion and preemptively preventing disqualification risks. Automatically applied in contexts such as 'score optimization', 'evaluation criteria analysis', 'bonus point strategy', 'disqualification prevention', 'review preparation'. However, actual reviewer contact and review result retrieval are outside…

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 Research & Science, covering Grant writing. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Grant writing

Example prompts

  • “score optimization”
  • “evaluation criteria analysis”
  • “bonus point strategy”
  • “/scoring-optimizer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Scoring Optimizer loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
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.

Scoring Optimizer — Evaluation Score Optimization Tool

A specialized skill that enhances the score optimization capabilities of compliance-checker and plan-writer agents.

Target Agents

  • compliance-checker — Score analysis, disqualification risk assessment
  • plan-writer — High-score item focused writing strategy

Evaluation Score Analysis Framework

Common Evaluation Structure (Government Funding Programs)
Evaluation AreaTypical ScoreKey Points
Technical Merit30-40 ptsTechnical differentiation, innovativeness, IP ownership
Business Viability20-30 ptsMarket size, revenue plan, commercialization strategy
Execution Capability15-25 ptsCEO experience, personnel, infrastructure
Plan Appropriateness10-20 ptsImplementation schedule, goal specificity
Policy Alignment5-10 ptsGovernment policy direction alignment
Bonus PointsUp to 5-10 ptsWomen/disabled-owned enterprise, region, employment
4-Step Score Analysis
1. Extract scoring table from announcement → Map scores per item
2. Identify high-score items → Top 3 items = 60-70% of total
3. Among lower items, identify "zero if not addressed" mandatory items
4. Check bonus point items → Prioritize easily obtainable bonus points

High-Score Item Writing Strategies

Technical Merit (Usually Highest Score)
