Asked both runs to name the field handles for a new Case Study entry type — hero image, client name, a link to the live site, an industry icon, a go-live date, the writer, and an active/archived state badge — then checked every proposed handle against the real Craft 5.x source pulled from GitHub. The no-skill answer proposed five broken handles out of seven: link, icon and status are all in Field::RESERVED_HANDLES and would be rejected by Craft's own validator, while postDate and author are native Entry properties that silently shadow a custom field. The skill's mandatory reserved-handle check caught all five and produced 0 out of 7 broken. Its 54-entry reserved list was diffed against the 82 real entries in the source with zero false positives, and its entrify CLI commands and their now-optional handle arguments match EntrifyController exactly. It slightly overreaches by filing postDate and author under reserved when Craft only shadows rather than rejects them — though the body does explain both failure modes.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Craft Content Modeling does
Content architecture for Craft CMS 5: choosing section types, designing entry types and field layouts, Matrix and nested entries, relations and eager loading, and multi-site propagation. Triggers when planning content models, creating sections or fields, or configuring Matrix — not for PHP plugin code or front-end Twig.
