If that check cannot compare the proposal with your existing skills, the tool stops with an error saying so and asks the model to call it again once. Before this change, a failed check with nothing refused let the proposal through.\n\nIn the same mode, the tool also skips its check that each skill has been read recently.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how skill proposals are checked: when a proposal cannot be verified, it is now refused instead of accepted.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
