SkillLearnBench Family Context

Instance-memory boundary: distill only reusable procedures. Do not write concrete task IDs, sample IDs, training filenames or paths, final answers, option mappings, URLs, named entities, dates, numeric constants, or verbatim question text from the source trajectory into any generated SKILL.md. Use placeholders such as , , , and when a rule needs a slot.

Task family: earthquake-plate-calculation

Use this skill only for this task family. Read the current instruction and visible local files before acting. Treat every rule below as a reusable procedure with placeholders tied to the current instance.

Family Plan

step 1: Read the visible instruction and inspect the available earthquake, plate, and boundary files to identify the requested output fields, any target plate or boundary subset, and whether the task asks for a minimum, maximum, or conditional selection.

step 2: Summarize the geospatial layers and determine how to link them: treat earthquakes as points, plates as polygons, and plate boundaries as lines so the later spatial filtering and distance calculations use the right geometry types.

step 3: If the task restricts analysis to earthquakes inside one or more plates, isolate the relevant plate polygon(s) and filter the earthquake points to those contained within them; if the task depends on counts or magnitudes by plate, assign earthquakes to plate polygons first and derive the requested plate subset.

step 4: Project the point and line layers to an appropriate metric CRS before measuring distance, because Euclidean distance in geographic coordinates is not reliable for kilometer outputs.

step 5: Compute each candidate earthquake’s nearest distance to the relevant boundary set, using either all boundaries or the boundary subset implied by the instruction, and convert the result to kilometers rounded to the required precision.

step 6: Select the earthquake that matches the requested extremum or rule after filtering and distance computation, then extract the required earthquake attributes and standardized timestamp format for the output schema.

step 7: Write a single JSON object to the specified answer path and do a quick sanity check that the file exists, contains exactly the requested fields, and that the chosen record is consistent with the applied spatial filters and extremum rule.

Completion Contract

Create the artifact requested by the current instance using the visible instruction and local files. Do a lightweight local sanity check when useful. Finish with the exact completion marker required by the task.
