About this skill
Pulled from SKILL.md at publish time.
When adding redundant paths (fallbacks, belt-and-suspenders), make them idempotent.
Automated checks the publisher passed at publish time — structure, docs, safety, and whether the artifact behaves as claimed.d07ff4b· last month
Behavioral checks ran but aren't published for this artifact; the static checks above ran at publish time.

5 passed4 warningsDescription qualitywarn
23 words · 174 chars — manifest description is empty; graded the GitHub repo description instead
A skill's manifest description doubles as its trigger — add one to SKILL.md (15+ words, e.g. “use this skill when …”).
Description is substantivewarn
Description is 2 words — thinner than the 8-word floor.
Say what it does AND when to use it. A model choosing between tools has only this text to go on.

Contents
When adding redundant paths (fallbacks, belt-and-suspenders), make them idempotent.
Pattern
Redundancy without idempotency causes loops, churn, or data corruption.
DO
- Use
_is_merge: truefor Braintrust updates - Check if value exists before writing (fallback only if missing)
- Use atomic write/rename for file operations
- Make reconciliation steps safe to run repeatedly
DON'T
- Write unconditionally in fallback paths
- Allow multiple writers to overwrite each other
- Fire "repair" actions that can trigger more repairs
