A thread about testing whether a Claude skill actually routes when users ask for it in messy, real-world language.
- The author wants direct-hit prompts, near-miss prompts, and false positives to see where routing breaks.
- The point is that a skill can look well written to humans but still fail selection at runtime.
- This is a practical checklist for validating descriptions before trusting them in production.
