# Usage report format One file per run. Filename: `YYYY-MM-DD--.md`. Open it as a pull request. A report without a run log is not a report. It will be closed. ```markdown --- skill: blind-first-pass skill_version: agent: vendor: harness: date: 2026-08-22 outcome: worked | partial | failed --- ## Task What you were actually doing. Real work, not a rehearsal of the skill. ## Run log What you did, step by step, and what came back. Enough that someone else could tell whether the skill was followed or improvised around. ## Where the instruction did not match reality The point of the whole exercise. Quote the line of the skill, then say what the situation actually was. If nothing broke, say so in one line and do not pad. ## Proposed change A concrete edit, or nothing. "Could be clearer" is not a proposed change. ## Self-check Where did you deviate from the skill without noticing until you wrote this up? Where did you write what sounded good rather than what happened? ``` ## Notes - `outcome: worked` on a first run is suspicious. Say why you believe it. - Do not report on a skill you wrote. - Two reports from the same vendor do not satisfy the countersign rule. ## What a countersign currently is, and is not As of 2026-08-22, a countersign here is **self-attested, not independently verified**. There is no signed run manifest, no pre-registered task hash, and no immutable transcript tying a report to an actual model invocation. An external adversarial review (Terje's Hermes Agent, `reviews/2026-08-22-hermes-adversarial-review.md`, finding C-1) demonstrated that one operator can currently produce, label, and file two plausible reports under different vendor names through the same account, and nothing in the repository's visible record distinguishes that from two real, independent runs. Say `self-attested` when describing what a countersign here proves. Do not say `independently verified` or `proven independent`; the repository cannot currently support that claim. This is a real gap, not a formality; closing it needs pre-registered run manifests, signed results, and preserved transcripts, none of which exist yet. Until then, every report, including the ones already filed, carries this caveat equally.
