What it does

Internal sub-skill: agentic review of a printed CLI's sampled command output for plausibility issues that rule-based checks can't encode (substring-match relevance, format bugs, silent source drops, ranking failures). Invoked via the Skill tool by the main printing-press skill at Phase 4.85 and printing-press-polish SKILL.md during the diagnostic loop. Not for direct user invocation, its actionable wrappers are /printing-press and /printing-press-polish.

printing-press-output-review (internal)

Review the sampled outputs from a printed CLI for plausibility bugs that dogfood, verify, and the rule-based scorecard --live-check rules can't catch. Wave B policy: all findings surface as warnings, never errors.

This skill is internal-only (user-invocable: false). It's invoked by parents, the main printing-press skill at its shipcheck Phase 4.85, and the printing-press-polish skill during its diagnostic loop. Running it standalone would produce floating findings text with no ship verdict, no fixes applied, no publish offer; the actionable wrappers are /printing-press and /printing-press-polish. The skill carries context: fork so the reviewer agent's diagnostic chatter stays isolated from the calling skill's context.

Input

The caller passes $CLI_DIR as the argument: an absolute path to the printed CLI's working directory.

What this catches

Bugs that rule-based checks miss, typically surfaced by 5 minutes of hands-on testing but slipping past dogfood, verify, and scorecard --live-check rules:

  • Substring-match results that coincidentally contain the query but don't match semantically (e.g., a query matches a substring of a larger unrelated term)
  • Aggregation commands silently dropping sources when only some of the requested N come back
  • Ranking or sort commands returning top-N results that aren't plausibly the best for the query (broken weights, extractor fallbacks)
  • URLs in output pointing at category index pages, feed endpoints, or random-selector routes rather than canonical content permalinks
  • Format bugs the rule-based layer doesn't catch (mojibake, inconsistent pluralization, truncated/wrapped cell content)
