Verbatim clone+cp still installs cleanly and the skill still depends on a knowledge-graph.json that only the sibling /understand skill can build. Since our last test the author added a graph-freshness check: it reads the graph's recorded commit hash, diffs it against HEAD with a project-scoped `-- .` pathspec, and warns before writing the guide if source drifted — I ran the exact commands and confirmed they correctly ignore the .ua/ artifacts and flag an edited src file. The addition is purely additive and read-only, so on a small fresh graph the A/B guide is still equivalent to a no-skill baseline; the skill's edge remains the grep-based workflow and section template on large real graphs, not raw output on small inputs.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
