Tested install (verbatim git clone + cp, zero surgery, frontmatter parses as strict YAML), trigger battery, and one output task: drafting a bug-report issue against a repo's .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml with five required fields. A/B showed same-quality results — both skill and base arms derived the [Bug]: title prefix, filled every required field, applied both template labels (bug, needs-triage), and produced identical reproduction steps; the skill added no meaningful lift on this simple, fully-specified template. Note: the real workflow's final step calls gh issue create against GitHub (a live side effect); tested here dry-run to a local draft file only.

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 5/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5
