SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This benchmark validates how platforms access resources nested more than one level deep and whether they discover SKILL.md files buried within a skill's directory tree.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tests platform ability to read a SKILL.md at multiple nesting depths within a skill's directory.
  • Validates detection of nested references and discovery of nested SKILL.md for cataloging as separate skills.
  • Use Case: A platform must enumerate references/overview.md at one level, references/api/endpoints.md at two levels, and references/api/v2/migration-guide.md plus references/guides/advanced/performance-tuning.md at three levels to verify consistent behavior.

Quick Start

Activate this probe and report how deeply nested references can be read, and whether a nested SKILL.md is discovered inside the references directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test skill discovery for deeply nested SKILL.md files in a directory tree?

To test nested skill discovery, platforms must enumerate multi-level directory references and detect SKILL.md files buried at one, two, and three nesting depths. This probe validates that platforms correctly catalog nested SKILL.md entries while respecting directory boundaries.

What is the maximum directory nesting depth supported for reading platform references?

Platform reference reading is tested up to a three-level nesting depth, demonstrated by accessing files like references/api/v2/migration-guide.md. This probe assesses whether platforms can consistently read resources at one, two, and three levels deep within a skill directory.

Can a skill-loading platform catalog nested SKILL.md files as separate skills?

A skill-loading platform can catalog nested SKILL.md files as separate skills if it correctly traverses the directory tree and respects directory boundaries. This probe validates the platform's ability to discover and enumerate nested SKILL.md entries within multi-level references.

How do I validate multi-level reference reading for a skill-loading platform?

Validating multi-level reference reading involves checking if the platform can access resources at one, two, and three depths, such as references/overview.md and references/api/endpoints.md. This probe tests consistent behavior across all nesting levels to ensure proper resource enumeration.

Does a nested SKILL.md file require explicit frontmatter for platform discovery?

Nested SKILL.md files require explicit frontmatter for proper platform discovery within a skill's directory tree. This probe ensures platforms enumerate and catalog these nested entries only when explicit frontmatter is present at each nesting depth.
