Written responses only. No tool execution, installed dependencies, media generation or cloud services are tested.

What we asked

Do not use tools, access the network, write files, run commands or install anything. Answer only in text using the supplied facts. Write a handoff from these facts: parser fix drafted, tests not run, decision recorded in docs/parser-plan.md, next session verifies invalid input. Keep the existing plan as the detailed source.

Driftproof-authored text-only evaluation, not an author-supplied benchmark or an installed-tool test.

  • What we tested. Report 015's twenty skills on Sonnet 5.5, each against no skill and against a same-length text from a fixed corpus, judged by Haiku 5.5.
  • Beating the fake is not beating no skill. Where the fake scored below no skill, beating it does not mean beating no skill; each row shows both readings.

What we asked

Do not use tools, access the network, write files, run commands or install anything. Answer only in text using the supplied facts. Prepare a handoff about an authentication bug. The conversation contained a real credential, but it is intentionally not supplied here. Facts safe to carry: refresh retries twice; a test remains missing.

What we asked

Do not use tools, access the network, write files, run commands or install anything. Answer only in text using the supplied facts. The next session will document an already implemented parser change. Tests passed in a local check; no commit exists. Draft a short handoff and say where the handoff should be saved.
