Ran a real glazed-summary A/B (URL-shortener task with a falsely claimed rate limiter): baseline reply was generic hand-waving, skill reply produced 4 numbered gaps with effort estimates, named the exact failure mode, and closed with a one-word commit ask exactly as the protocol specifies.
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 5/5
What Deglaze does
A single-file prompt skill that, on trigger phrases like "did you do your best" or "what did you skip", makes the model audit its own last claimed-complete work against 17 named under-delivery patterns and reply with a numbered gap list, a named failure mode, and a concrete one-word-commit recovery plan instead of a defensive or vague answer. Triggers on direct challenges, stakes-raising bets, or explicit /deglaze invocation.
