The personal-decision eval also excludes the wrong `discover-feature` route. Fresh Codex `gpt-6-luna/medium` runs at a 100% threshold passed **5/5** for the negated-grilling feature case (`evals/results/discovery-feature-negated-luna-n5.json`) and **4/5** for the personal-decision routing case (`evals/results/discovery-grilling-natural-luna-n5.json`). The remaining miss loaded `discover-feature` for a personal decision, although the task checks passed. Five neighboring feature, planning, and direct-invocation controls each passed one trial. The overview counts above remain the original sweep, and the routing boundary is not yet stable. + +Second follow-up: Plugin-wide outcome descriptions and stricter negative activation checks preserve natural positive routing but do not close the negative boundary. On fresh Codex `gpt-6-luna/medium` runs with five trials per case and a 100% threshold, "spec out a feature" (`evals/results/discovery-spec-out-luna-n5.json`) and "let's plan how to implement this" (`evals/results/discovery-plan-this-luna-n5.json`) each passed **5/5** for behavior and activation. Personal-decision grilling (`evals/results/discovery-personal-routing-luna-n5-v2.json`) and generic API stress-testing (`evals/results/discovery-stress-routing-luna-n5.json`) each passed **4/5**; each remaining miss loaded `discover-feature` with no requested feature-discovery outcome. Negative task checks establish only a nonempty response and read-only repository state, not answer quality. An explicit `grilling` control passed one fresh trial. The strict skill-selection goal remains unmet. + +Third follow-up: An [isolated unified-skill prototype](../../evals/experiments/discovery-unified/snapshots/2026-09-24.md) routed feature discovery, implementation planning, and natural-language grilling through one entry skill. Four representative Codex `gpt-6-luna/medium` cases each passed **5/5** first-turn behavior checks. Candidate skill-read evidence showed **15/15** positive selections and **5/5** ordinary-advice nonselections. This changes the manual-only grilling contract, and the retained trace does not prove mode-reference reads. Full workflow parity and Claude Code behavior remain untested; no shipped plugin was replaced. + +Fourth follow-up: The shipped `darrow-discovery` plugin now has one public `work-through-decisions` skill. It loads the requested planning, feature-discovery, or standalone-grilling instructions from local references. The original 23 colocated cases each passed a fresh Codex `gpt-6-luna/medium` trial after focused repairs. Seven boundary and workflow cases then passed **5/5** for both task and activation: natural planning (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-plan-v2-n5.json`), feature discovery (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-feature-n5.json`), natural grilling (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-grill-n5.json`), ordinary-advice exclusion (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-advice-n5.json`), migration planning (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-migration-n5.json`), complete plan (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-complete-plan-n5.json`), and generic stress-testing (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-stress-n5.json`). The tests confirm entry-skill selection and task behavior; retained traces still do not prove which mode-reference file was read. The initial sweep counts above remain historical. + +Claude Code `claude-sonnet-5/medium` smoke trials also passed task and activation checks for grilling (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-grill-n1.json`), feature discovery (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-discover-feature-spec-out-natural-language-n1.json`), and implementation planning (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-plan-implementation-lets-plan-this-n1.json`), one trial per mode. These single trials establish basic host compatibility, not a reliability rate. + +Fifth follow-up: An added [combined discovery and writing pressure case](../../plugins/capability/darrow-discovery/skills/work-through-decisions/evals/work-through-decisions-write-pressure.yaml) exposed a Codex response that wrote a spec while product choices remained open. The skill now states the read-only handoff boundary at entry and in feature mode. The original prompt's “make sensible calls for me” also made delegation ambiguous; the final case explicitly reserves those choices for the user. That final case passed Codex 5/5 (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-codex-write-pressure-v4-n5.json`) and Claude Code 1/1 (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-write-pressure-v5-n1.json`), including activation and untouched repository state. A Codex post-metadata trial (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-codex-write-pressure-v5-n1.json`) also passed. Claude Code initially treated the combined request as a writing task and missed the skill; updated discovery metadata corrected the focused retest (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-write-pressure-v5-n1.json`). Matched one-trial Claude Code controls for direct grilling (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-grilling-direct-frontier-n1.json`), ordinary-advice exclusion (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-work-through-decisions-ordinary-advice-n1.json`), and feature-discovery pressure (`evals/results/discovery-unified-final-claude-discover-feature-pressure-premature-brief-n1.json`) also passed. Internal mode-reference reads remain unobservable in the retained runner trace; behavior checks cannot prove they occurred. + +The [final shipped-skill snapshot](../../evals/experiments/discovery/snapshots/2026-09-24-unified-shipped.md) records matched one-trial Codex and Claude Code results on the exact final skill content for direct grilling, feature discovery, implementation planning, ordinary-advice exclusion, and pressure with independent product choices. All ten trials passed task and activation checks. It also records the remaining mode-read and external ticket-state evidence limits. + +### darrow-explanation + +| Case | What failed | Assessment | Recommended next step | +| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| [explain-visually-algorithm-pseudocode](../../plugins/capability/darrow-explanation/skills/explain-visually/evals/algorithm-pseudocode.yaml) | Activation missed explain-visually; observed none. | Skill activation | Check trigger and mounted-skill discovery; rerun this case with a matched control. | +| [explain-visually-file-responsibility](../../plugins/capability/darrow-explanation/skills/explain-visually/evals/file-responsibility.yaml) | Response is a shallow visual rather than a prose tour failed.

The skill has a shorter discovery description and +directs ownership views to start at the owning directory rather than a barrel +file. The state-shape check now accepts `▶` arrows; it accepts all five retained +valid state answers from a matched pre-change run. The responsibility case now +grades one compact ownership tree semantically, accepting a fresh valid answer +and rejecting bullet-list, duplicate-tour, and table variants in fresh trials. +The implementation-exclusion check now prints the resulting fixture source on +a failed code-state assertion. A fresh single trial passed both task and skill +exclusion. A later [five-trial run](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T14-12-34-885Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +passed task **3/5** and skill exclusion **5/5**: in the two failed trials the +answer claimed `src/math.js` was updated, but the fixture still contained the +original function. The retained result does not establish whether the edit was +attempted or lost, so this needs candidate tool and fixture investigation +outside the visual skill. The HTML-artifact exclusion passed one fresh trial. + +Codex `gpt-6-luna`/medium five-trial controls on the old skill content +showed [responsibility](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T13-52-26-780Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +at **0/5 task, 2/5 activation** and [state transitions](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T13-54-07-166Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +at **2/5 task, 2/5 activation** under the original assertions.

The before and after runs used the same +fixtures, prompts, model, effort, trial count, and threshold, but the task +checks changed; task percentages are not a like-for-like behavior comparison. +These are distinct samples, not a single full-suite result or proof of long-run +stability. The output repairs accept valid views, and the skill's ownership +guidance produced the required view in both activated responsibility trials. +Implicit activation remains intermittent; wording alone has not met the 5/5 +selection goal. The overview counts remain the historical sweep. + +Further eval-design follow-up: The visual-explanation contract now centers on +requests to explain or show technical relationships visually, including natural +paraphrases rather than exact keywords. A pseudocode-only format request no +longer requires implicit selection. The pseudocode and insufficient-evidence +pressure cases now invoke the skill explicitly to test their task behavior; +the responsibility prompt now asks for a visual view. A new +[canonical implicit case](../../plugins/capability/darrow-explanation/skills/explain-visually/evals/implicit-visual-explanation.yaml) +asks to explain a code path visually without naming the skill. This changes the +active suite from nine to ten cases; the historical overview remains unchanged. + +The new canonical case passed a first Codex `gpt-6-luna`/medium trial for task +and activation. A subsequent [five-trial run](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T14-51-44-936Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +recorded **0/5 activation** despite the direct visual-explanation wording. +Its original helper-name assertion rejected one otherwise correct answer. +A semantic draft also proved ambiguous, so the final check uses bounded +deterministic evidence for the named source, visual form, validation, storage, +and queue steps. [Regrading all five retained answers](../../evals/results/explanation-canonical-deterministic-regrade.json) +accepted **5/5**, while a missing-step counterexample failed. A +[fresh trial](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T15-00-16-341Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +passed task and activation under that final check. The retained five-trial +activation result is unchanged. This rules out the missing words “explain +visually” as the sole explanation for missed selection, and the new suite has +not passed a full n:5 run. + +A metadata-only probe compared the current description with the user-supplied +original wording and a short hybrid. The skill body, prompts, fixtures, +Codex `gpt-6-luna`/medium route, and checks stayed fixed.

The original wording selected the skill +once for an HTML artifact request, though the artifact was still created. +These small samples do not establish a reliable improvement or meet the 5/5 +goal. The hybrid was reverted; the probe fixtures and results are gitignored. + +A follow-up used the exact original sentence with only “and focused HTML +artifacts” removed. It activated [8/10 on the simple flow](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T15-50-41-707Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +and [3/10 on the complex flow](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T15-52-22-539Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json), +and avoided the skill in [5/5 HTML requests](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T15-53-47-998Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json). +The HTML run's apparent task miss was an eval defect: “only inline HTML” +matched a refusal regex despite the artifact being created. Removing that +overbroad phrase accepted all five retained answers and rejected a refusal +counterexample. A fresh trial then [passed](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T15-58-06-206Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json); +an earlier fresh trial avoided the skill but [claimed to create an absent +artifact](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T15-57-40-211Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json), +which is separate from the regex defect. The description variant was reverted +because its visual-request activation was only 11/20. + +A follow-up separated task value from activation, using Codex +`gpt-6-luna`/medium and five trials per completed condition. For the same +responsibility fixture, an [unmounted control](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T16-24-58-683Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium-without-skill.json) +passed the task checks **2/5**; answers sometimes centered `src/index.ts` +instead of the owning directories or repeated the map. An +[explicitly invoked variant](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T16-24-09-558Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +passed task and activation **5/5**. The normal +[implicit responsibility case](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T16-28-42-024Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +also passed task and activation **5/5**. The explicit variant added the +host-native skill token to the same task, so its prompt was not byte-identical +to the control; the result supports task value but does not isolate the skill +body's causal effect from that token. + +For the insufficient-evidence fixture, both the +[unmounted control](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T16-27-04-239Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium-without-skill.json) +and the [explicit skill case](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T16-27-52-550Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +passed **5/5**; this fixture does not show added value from loading the skill. +The [generic `submitJob` visual request](../../evals/results/2026-09-26T16-29-52-326Z-codex-gpt-6-luna-medium.json) +passed the task checks **5/5** but implicitly loaded the skill **3/5**. +These small samples show stronger selection when the request specifies the +skill's distinctive responsibility view and source anchors; they do not +establish a stable implicit activation rate. + +An isolated Codex App Server +[catalog preflight](../../evals/results/explanation-catalog-probe.json) using +the runner's fixture, home, and plugin-install functions listed the enabled +`darrow-explanation:explain-visually` skill with its complete description, +six system skills, and no catalog errors. This checks installation and catalog +discovery in a replicated setup, not the exact model-facing initial prompt in +each retained trial. The two temporary research cases were removed after the +comparison. A serial baseline attempt hit the shell tool's 120-second limit +after four retained trials; only the completed five-trial result above is +counted. + +A relationship-first description probe replaced only the frontmatter +description with: “Use when the user asks to explain visually how a technical +subject fits together—what calls what, who owns what, how state changes, or +what changed.

Activation passed **80/80**; the raw task result was **79/80**, or **15/16 cases**.

There is no single raw green 80-trial result file after that assertion-only correction.

Both validation cases catch staged edits; the negative case uses semantic checks for the three findings. A package-layout check in `create-python-mechanic` was corrected to test the documented frozen `--no-dev` runtime command rather than require one literal UV setting. All ten cases had a passing trial on that earlier content, but there was no clean first-pass suite. + +The follow-up changed prepared target skills to `SKILL.draft.md`, strengthened the authoring description and creation input gate, and reran focused Luna/medium trials. `refuse-undefined-skill` passed **5/5** with task and activation on the final content. A previous trial had answered correctly after reading the full authoring skill from the eval marketplace staging copy, but the activation probe did not count that read; the probe now recognizes a complete, installed-body-matching read from a catalog-bound staging path. `validate-read-only` passed task and activation in focused trials, but the first trial of its final 5-run check passed the task without reading either skill path, so implicit selection remains unreliable. `validate-authorized-publication`, `create-focused-skill`, `reuse-current-review`, and `repair-skill-boundaries` each passed a fresh final-content trial. The repair case's prior discovery regex had rejected the valid phrase “Check deployment configuration and review deployment evidence”; the replacement semantic artifact check accepted that response's skill text and rejected a vague counterexample. An independent challenge found that `create-focused-skill` did not check empty release-note sections; its hidden check now tests missing, empty Summary, and empty Testing sections, and a fresh trial passed. The revised plugin does not yet have a clean full-suite or 5/5 audit result. Native Claude Code live behavior and Windows/Linux artifact behavior remain unverified. + +A subsequent [70-trial description comparison](../../evals/experiments/skill-authoring-description/snapshots/2026-09-25.md) tested one concise metadata candidate against the current description on four positive and three negative intents. Positive activation was **11/20 candidate versus 12/20 control**; both avoided authoring on **15/15** negative trials per arm and passed **16/20** positive task checks. A tightened packaging check passed a separate 5/5 rerun per arm. Read-only audit activation remained poor under both descriptions; skill repair passed only 2/5 task checks under either description. Do not adopt the concise wording. Discuss a distinct audit skill within the authoring plugin and investigate repair execution separately, then retest the whole intent boundary. + +The follow-up split `darrow-skill-authoring` into `create-agent-skill` and read-only `audit-agent-skill` at version 0.3.0. Implementing an audit finding is ordinary engineering; the old general repair case is archived outside the active suite. The shared inspector and shell matrix moved to plugin-level `backend/`. The active suite now has 13 cases. On the finished skill and case content, all **7 audit cases** and **6 creation cases** passed **5/5 task and activation** in separate Codex `gpt-6-luna`/medium runs at a 100% threshold. The local result files are under gitignored `evals/results/`, from `2026-09-25T16-50-14-237Z` through `2026-09-25T17-45-14-422Z`. The negative `implement-audit-finding` case needed one-job execution for a 5/5 task result; two five-job runs had a first-trial edit artifact failure while both skills were correctly avoided in every trial. Full 65-trial attempts were stopped during diagnosis, so there is no single clean full-suite result file. Intermediate runs also had occasional implicit-selection misses; the final 5/5 measurements are samples, not a guarantee of perfect activation.

Neither meets the declared 20/20 positive +activation and task-preservation criterion. + +| Case | Control activation | Candidate activation | Control task | Candidate task | +| ---------------------------- | -----------------: | -------------------: | -----------: | -------------: | +| Read-only audit | 1/5 | 0/5 | 4/5 | 5/5 | +| Held-out audit wording | 1/5 | 3/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 | +| Creation with missing inputs | 5/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 | +| Repair skill boundaries | 5/5 | 3/5 | 2/5 | 2/5 | +| Repository guidance | 5/5 avoided | 5/5 avoided | 5/5 | 5/5 | +| Manifest-only packaging | 5/5 avoided | 5/5 avoided | 5/5 | 5/5 | +| Run existing suite | 5/5 avoided | 5/5 avoided | 5/5 | 5/5 | + +The audit activation results vary with phrasing under both descriptions. The +candidate wins the held-out phrasing by two selections, but loses the original +audit by one and repair by two. The wording change does not fix the common +audit-selection problem. Repair task failures occur under both descriptions: +the agent sometimes omits the local check script or its tests, the bounded +completion criterion, or version-specific shell evidence. The candidate also +missed one creation response's requirement to ask for every unresolved input. +These are workflow execution problems after or alongside selection. + +The full suite report (`evals/results/skill-authoring-description/2026-09-25T14-24-34-530Z/report.md`) +and per-arm JSON files in the same ignored result directory retain every trial. +After review found that the packaging case's file-scope check omitted staged +edits, it was changed to compare against `HEAD`. A fresh +ten-trial packaging rerun (`evals/results/skill-authoring-description/2026-09-25T14-50-59-766Z/report.md`) +passed task and non-activation checks 5/5 for each arm. The table uses those +confirmed packaging results; all other rows come from the 70-trial suite. +The ignored `variant-manifest.json` under +`evals/results/experiments/skill-authoring-description/` records the copied +plugin files and hashes. Both variants include the same plugin manifests, +skill body, backend, and references; only the description line differs. The +runner used the same seven prompts, fixtures, checks, installed catalog, model, +and effort for both arms. The suite's nonzero exit reflects the declared 100% +threshold, not a runner failure. + +Before the full run, one diagnostic trial per arm on each audit phrasing gave +opposing selections. The candidate's activated original-audit response also +failed the publication-boundary check: it listed generic missing authority and +readiness boundaries without identifying publication as the consequential +action. The initial copied variants lacked plugin manifests; those earlier +runs were invalid, were excluded, and prompted a corrected full-plugin mount. +The negative evals were strengthened to exclude any authoring-skill read, and +the packaging and existing-suite checks were tightened before the full run. + +**Recommendation:** do not ship the concise description. Discuss a separate +read-only audit skill inside `darrow-skill-authoring`, with creation/revision +remaining a focused capability, then compare that structure against the same +activation matrix. Keep shared inspector mechanics in the owning plugin and +preserve independent plugin installation. Separately investigate the repair +workflow failures; a discovery split alone cannot correct them.
