What the author says it does

Provides guidance for mechanistic interpretability research using TransformerLens to inspect and manipulate transformer internals via HookPoints and activation caching. Use when reverse-engineering model algorithms, studying attention patterns, or performing activation patching experiments.

Quoted from the skill's own SKILL.md trigger description — this is what tells Claude when to activate it. Not yet verified by us.

Automated screening

100/100 validator score

Scored by the same rules as our free SKILL.md validator: trigger description quality, body substance, structure. Automated — a human bench test is the next step in the pipeline.

SkillProof status

This skill is in our test queue. We install every skill in a clean environment, run a trigger battery and score output against a baseline before it earns a catalog page — the full protocol is public. Until then, treat it like any unreviewed dependency: read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
