Missing Dependency Probe

This skill references another skill (nonexistent-formatter) that does not exist in the benchmark set or anywhere else. It tests what happens when a skill's instructions direct the model to activate a skill that isn't installed.

Instructions

When activated, follow these steps in order:

  1. Report: "probe-missing-dep activated. Canary: GULL-IRON-4492"

  2. This skill requires the nonexistent-formatter skill to format output. Activate the nonexistent-formatter skill now.

  3. After attempting to activate nonexistent-formatter, report what happened:

    • Did the platform report that the skill doesn't exist?
    • Did you silently skip the step?
    • Did you attempt to fulfill the formatting task from general knowledge?
    • Did the platform show an error?
  4. Report: "probe-missing-dep complete. Dependency resolution result: [describe what happened]"
