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:
-
Report: "probe-missing-dep activated. Canary: GULL-IRON-4492"
-
This skill requires the nonexistent-formatter skill to format output.
Activate the nonexistent-formatter skill now.
-
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?
-
Report: "probe-missing-dep complete. Dependency resolution result:
[describe what happened]"
