Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 6 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Once springboard statements starting with 'I wish...' or 'How to...' have been generated, what is the 8th and final stage of the execution guidance, and what activity takes place during it?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response names the final execution stage as Develop. | Missed | Passed |
| The response describes converting springboard statements into fully fleshed-out implementation proposals. | Missed | Passed |
