Skill Invocation Test
Verifies active skill invocation capabilities by triggering a specific response when a secret codeword is detected.
The source repository doesn't declare a license. Check its terms before reusing the code.
Key features
- Trigger-based activation using the 'FLAMINGO' codeword
- Diagnostic protocol for testing agent capabilities
- Session connectivity and indexing validation
- Secret code verification to prove genuine skill invocation
- Standardized verification response format
Use cases
- Confirming that the Claude Code environment is correctly configured to use skills
- Debugging skill discovery and execution issues after environment changes
- Validating agent behavior in new or restricted environments
FAQ
How does this skill improve my developer workflow?
It provides a fail-safe way to troubleshoot session connectivity. By verifying that Claude can retrieve the 'NARWHAL' verification code, you can be certain that your environment is properly configured before moving on to complex coding tasks.
Can this skill modify my source code?
No, this is strictly a developer diagnostic tool. Its only function is to return a verification response to confirm the skill mechanism is active; it does not have the capability to read, write, or review your source code.
What is the Skill Invocation Test?
The Skill Invocation Test is a diagnostic utility for Claude Code that triggers a specific, standardized response when it detects the codeword 'FLAMINGO'. It is designed to prove that the AI is actively using its skills rather than just simulating a response through pattern matching.
When should I use this skill?
You should use this skill during initial setup, after updating your environment, or whenever you suspect that Claude isn't correctly indexing or executing your custom skills. It serves as a 'smoke test' for your AI agent's tool-calling capabilities.
What specific capabilities does it provide?
The skill provides trigger-based activation, a secret verification code generator, a standardized diagnostic output format, and a protocol for validating session indexing and agent-to-skill connectivity.
