There needs to be a new name for people creating these with no obvious validation.

Skill spam?

Define obviously validation? What is the signal that tells you one is reasonable vs another?

I find the only way to do that is to look at it, if it passes some visual tests, try it, and then a/b test if it's any better than without it.

So yes a/b broadly speaking is what I was saying (test cases and can show it is actually better).

Even this repo just the "b" showcase, showing the outputs as is (with no clear documentation how those were generated, is it headless in a CI pipeline somewhere?), is not good, https://github.com/Imbad0202/academic-research-skills/tree/m....
