Case Verdict Score Skill loaded Checks Restraint Why not 10 / what failed
context-schema-missing-backfilled fail 3 #1 2/2 H ✗ Backfilled context-schema to 0.16.3 (current installed version) instead of 0.2.0 as required · ✗ Behind/current comparison was rendered meaningless because the incorrect backfill value was chosen to already match the installed version · −1 Backfill value requirement: agent used 0.16.3 instead of 0.2.0, evidenced by …
ambiguous-worth-capturing-asks-instead-of-guessing fail 3 #1 1/1 R ✗ Announced the worth-it decision as settled ('this is worth a context/ entry, not noise') instead of asking a yes/no question about it. · ✗ Proceeded to draft entry content and ask content-related questions before the worth-it question was ever posed or answered. · −1 Worth-it question requirement: the agent declared…
continuous-capture-basic pass 10 #1 1/1 H 10/10, nothing withheld
autostart-project-instruction-loads-skill pass 9 #1 2/2 R −1 Minor: the agent's exploration involved several Bash/Read calls (cat .keep-the-why, git log) before fully committing to the skill's guidance, which is reasonable investigation but slightly more verbose than the minimal expected path — not a violation, but keeps this from being a flawless 10.
retrospective-legacy-codebase pass 10 #1 — H 10/10, nothing withheld
interview-prep-retiring-developer pass 8 #1 — R −1 Suggested-structure section recommends opening with a generic 'tell me about this system, start wherever you want' question, which the expected behavior explicitly contrasts against ('rather than a generic walk-me-through request') — evidence: agent's own text under 'Suggested structure'. · −1 No transcript evidenc…

index-new-topic-lands-under-its-letter pass 10 #1 4/4 H 10/10, nothing withheld
free-narration-interview pass 9 #1 — R −1 Retrospective analysis: the agent performed ad hoc code/context review and produced an implicit gap list, but the transcript never shows it consulting the skill's dedicated retrospective-analysis.md reference, only the interview-playbook.md that names it — a minor process gap even though the functional output (iden…

pending-confirmation-check-on-start-surfaces-entries pass 9 #1 2/2 R −1 Surfacing of the pending entry (requirement 'one line, no lecture') spans multiple sentences with extra framing ('worth surfacing before I answer...') rather than a single terse line, so style slightly exceeds the intended brevity.

confirmation-flow-batch-multiple-candidates pass 8 #1 1/1 R −1 Requirement 'short numbered list of candidates' — agent padded the list with 3 self-admitted borderline/self-evident items (3, 5, 6) and one dead-code clarification (4) instead of presenting a concise list of the genuine why-worthy candidates, making the message longer and more hedged than expected.

wizard-defaults-one-list-per-wizard pass 8 #1 2/2 R −1 Local-lint default requirement not met: Q7 ('Wire keep-the-why-lint into CI?') defaults to 'nothing to write' due to no detected CI, instead of the expected 'auto, with the install named' default — a 2-point deduction since it's an explicit part of the stated expected defaults, though not one of the enumerated hard…

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.
