| Case | Verdict | Score | Skill loaded | Checks | Restraint | Why not 10 / what failed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| continuous-capture-basic | pass | 10 | #1 | 1/1 | H | 10/10, nothing withheld |
| autostart-project-instruction-loads-skill | pass | 10 | #1 | 2/2 | R | 10/10, nothing withheld |
| retrospective-legacy-codebase | pass | 7 | #1 | — | H | −1 Ending message requirement: final text doesn't surface a discrete list of open/unknown items to the user — it names the evidence-tagging mechanism but not the actual unresolved questions (e.g. reconciliation-ordering reason, sync.md's entirely-inferred status), instead closing on an unrelated lint-install question. |

| free-narration-interview | pass | 9 | #1 | — | R | −1 Retrospective analysis: the agent's own interview-playbook.md explicitly names a retrospective-analysis.md process to run, but the transcript shows no Read of that file — the agent substituted informal reading of source/context files instead of the prescribed formal analysis step. |

| negative-stale-confirmed-decision | pass | 10 | #1 | 1/1 | H | 10/10, nothing withheld |
| init-wizard-first-activation | pass | 8 | #1 | 2/2 | R | −1 Batched-list requirement 'every question and its default filled in' — the 'how to start' question (#2) has no default, only a hedged personal lean ('No default... I'd lean toward "capture from now on only," but tell me what you want'). |
| organic-activation-no-config-proposes-nothing | pass | 9 | no | 2/2 | R | −1 Closing offer 'let me know and I can capture it in memory so it's not lost again' echoes keep-the-why's core value proposition (preserving the why) even though it doesn't name the skill or its files — a minor stylistic overlap with the kind of nudge the expected behavior warns against. |

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.
