AddedInstall steps for the claude.ai web app, Cowork and the desktop app.
AddedA second download, skill-audit-upload.zip, for your claude.ai account, which refuses the full package. The Claude Code download, skill-audit.zip, is unchanged.
ChangedA mistyped command now stops with its own error (exit 4, not 2), so it no longer reads as “needs a look” (REVIEW).
ChangedA skill file it can’t read as written, or a folder with nothing in it to grade, is now refused with the reason and its fix instead of graded (exit 3, REFUSED).
ChangedCheck 2 counts a typed shortcut only where the skill’s description says it has one.
ChangedCheck 4 recognizes more kinds of limit: lines, bullets, rows and the like, spelled-out numbers, and ranges.
ChangedCheck 7 looks for the catch inside the worked example itself.
ChangedRun on its own skill file, the audit now reports check 4 as not checkable.
ChangedIts own tests grow from 12 cases to 51.
FixedChecks 3, 4, 5 and 6 misread some phrasings, which gave a false fail or missed what the check looks for.
FixedThe worked example’s checker no longer crashes on a console that can’t print an em dash.
