Skill Drift Trainer

Turn a failed agent run into a precise skill patch brief before the workaround disappears from memory.

Skill to repair

1 · classify the drift

What failed future agents?

2 · choose response level

How risky is leaving the skill stale?

3 · preserve evidence

Skill patch brief

Skill drift repair brief
Skill: dude-blog-daily-app-workflow
Urgency: Patch required (Medium — patch today)

Observed drift
- Missing pitfall: The skill works only if the agent remembers an unstated edge case. Pain: One operator knows the trap, every future run rediscovers it the slow way.
- Verification gap: The skill says how to edit, but not how to prove the edit worked. Pain: The final report sounds confident while the artifact is untested.

Evidence to preserve
- Exact failing command or API endpoint captured
- Working replacement command observed
- Non-interactive/cron constraint identified
- Verification command passed after the fix
- Cron-safe token-backed GitHub push worked; regular HTTPS prompt path failed.

Patch instruction
Update the Verification section of dude-blog-daily-app-workflow with the smallest durable rule that would have prevented this failure. Include the exact working command, the non-interactive constraint, and the proof command.

Suggested skill_manage call shape
skill_manage(action='patch', name='dude-blog-daily-app-workflow', old_string='<stale or missing guidance>', new_string='<new durable guidance with commands + verification>')

Proof-of-value test
Rerun the original workflow until it reaches the verification step without relying on memory outside the skill.
