askit-evaluate

Reference: askit-evaluate

Assesses a known, local skill or plugin against the Standard.

• Scope: auto-detected. library.json present (or an AGENTS.md/skills/ directory) -> plugin scope; a lone SKILL.md with no library.json -> component scope; neither -> an unknown-scope error naming what was expected.
• Command: node scripts/evaluate.mjs <path> [--json]
• Output: per-rule findings (error/warn), and for plugin scope the tier + blocked list. --json emits the full report object; see the skill’s references/report-format.md for the shape.
• Exit code: non-zero when there is at least one error.
• Out of scope (v1): behavioral evaluation (running a skill against expected outputs) and qualitative review. Those arrive in a later phase.

Multi-tier findings

Reports may include findings tagged at any tier (U-prefix universal, S-prefix convergent, A/G-prefix advanced). Findings ABOVE the plugin’s declared tier do not fail the gate at the current ceiling - they appear in blocked.<next-tier> instead, as the visible burndown to the next tier.
