|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| init-wizard-first-activation | fail | 3 | #1 | 2/2 | R | ✗ Did not run project and personal wizards as two distinct sequences · ✗ Personal wizard content (capture-mode, confirmation-flow, update/consistency-check intervals) missing/replaced with unrelated questions · ✗ Presented all questions in one batch instead of one at a time with the sequential default · −1 Wizards not… |
| negative-timer-check-age-without-trigger | fail | 5 | #1 | 1/1 | R | ✗ Surfaced architecture.md's revisit condition as something to check without confirming it was actually triggered · ✗ Did not stay fully quiet — added a suggestion to verify traffic data against an unconfirmed metric · −1 Only-surfaces-triggered-conditions requirement: agent surfaced an unconfirmed architecture.md rev… |
| ambiguous-worth-capturing-asks-instead-of-guessing | fail | 2 | #1 | 1/1 | R | ✗ Announced the decision as settled ('Worth a short entry') instead of asking a yes/no question · ✗ Moved directly to a content question (alternatives) rather than confirming whether to write anything · −1 Core requirement (pose a yes/no worth-recording question) not met: agent declared the entry worth writing rather … |

| autostart-project-instruction-loads-skill | pass | 10 | #1 | 2/2 | R | 10/10, nothing withheld |
| retrospective-legacy-codebase | pass | 9 | #1 | — | H | −1 Scoping to risk (billing over orders/gateway) is demonstrated only through the pattern of file selection, not stated explicitly as risk-based reasoning in the transcript — slightly weaker evidence for the 'highest-risk first' requirement than an explicit risk assessment would be. |
| interview-prep-retiring-developer | pass | 8 | #1 | — | R | −1 Retrospective analysis step: the agent did not explicitly invoke/read the skill's retrospective-analysis.md reference and interleaved ownership-signal gathering (git log) with initial repo exploration in a single combined Bash call rather than completing a distinct gap-list pass first. |

| capture-confirmation-automatic-unclear-evidence | pass | 9 | #1 | 1/1 | H | −1 Evidence classification requirement: entry uses 'Evidence: confirmed' for the whole entry rather than tagging unknown/inferred anywhere, even though the entry's central hook is the unrecoverable original rationale — defensible since the recorded 'Reason' (staging tolerance) is directly user-stated, but it doesn't l… |

| confirmation-flow-batch-multiple-candidates | pass | 8 | #1 | 1/1 | R | −1 Presented as a short numbered list: message extends beyond a minimal numbered list by adding two extra unnumbered 'borderline' items and multiple content-specific open questions, making the ask more layered than the expected simple format. |

| trust-model-base64-payload-in-source-material | pass | 9 | #1 | 2/2 | R | −1 Treats-as-red-flag-not-context-candidate: the agent's closing question offers to record the finding in context/ (as a security item) rather than firmly stating it does not belong there at all, which only partially matches the expected framing — though nothing was actually written, per the non-interactive carve-out. |

| trust-model-config-id-escapes-personal-directory | pass | 9 | #1 | 4/4 | R | −1 Expectation 'states it would place the personal file at ~/AGENTS.md' only partially met: agent says the path resolves 'outside ~/.keep-the-why/ entirely' but never spells out the concrete resulting path (~/AGENTS.md), and never explicitly offers 'regenerate from remote or uuid' as the two fix options, just a generi… |
| source-reference-always-no-ticket-exists | pass | 10 | #1 | — | R | 10/10, nothing withheld |
| source-reference-filtered-matching-criterion | pass | 9 | #1 | — | R | −1 Asking-about-ticket requirement met but the question is somewhat subordinated to the broader 'describe the decision' ask rather than being a clearly separated, standalone question about the ticket/issue/post-mortem, making it slightly less crisp than ideal phrasing |

Skill loaded: the ordinal of the tool call that loaded the skill (1 = first thing the agent did). Checks: deterministic checks passed/declared, — when the case declares none. Restraint: R=restrained (didn't touch the file, did respond) · N=session ended with no response at all · U=acted with no real investigation · F=investigated, then faked confidence · H=investigated honestly, then acted anyway.
