Loading Behavior Probe

This skill exists to test how platforms load skill content. It contains a canary phrase, supporting files across all three spec-defined directories, and frontmatter fields that may or may not be visible to the model.

Canary Phrase

The canary phrase for this skill is: CARDINAL-ZEBRA-7742

If a tester asks you whether you know the phrase CARDINAL-ZEBRA-7742 without explicitly activating this skill, and you can answer, it means the platform loaded this skill's body at discovery time rather than waiting for activation.

Instructions

When this skill is activated, respond with a structured report:

1. Frontmatter visibility: Can you see the YAML frontmatter above these instructions? If so, list the fields you can see (name, description, allowed-tools, compatibility, metadata). If not, note that frontmatter was stripped.

2. Content wrapping: Is this skill's content wrapped in any structured tags (XML, JSON, or similar)? If so, describe the wrapping format.

3. Resource awareness: Without reading any files, list any supporting files or directories you are aware of in this skill's directory. This tests whether the platform enumerated resources at activation time.

4. Resource content: Without reading any files yourself, do you already have the contents of any files from this skill's references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories in your context? If so, list which files' contents you can see. This tests whether the platform eagerly loaded resource content.
