   Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
   Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

   Size: Small
   Complexity: Low
   Uncertainty: Known
   Flags: none

   Understood: this asks for a rewrite of the overlapping passages in the testing plugin's diagnose skill, so the copy check against the upstream source no longer fires. The rewrite keeps every directive and eval expectation. It also asks you to confirm the upstream credit row exists. The fingerprint comparison runs first, and nothing changes if it doesn't fire. The done-when items are concrete. I found no missing information and no likely duplicates.

   _{Automated triage, applied by the lanes App.}

   The work-resolve-issue lane stopped partway through this issue and needs a person.

   Why, in the run's own words:

   The issue requires confirming the copy finding with fingerprint.mjs compare against the upstream file (mattpocock/skills24fe0ef, skills/engineering/diagnosing-bugs/SKILL.md) before any rewrite. This run cannot fetch that file: the web allowlist excludes github.com and raw.githubusercontent.com, no copy exists in the checkout, and Bash runs only the named wrappers, so neither gh api nor node fingerprint.mjs can run. A rewrite without the before and after longest_span_words and containment numbers would be a guess and could not meet the done-when criteria.

   What the run says it did not do:

   • fingerprint.mjs compare of plugins/testing/skills/diagnose/SKILL.md against the upstream diagnosing-bugs SKILL.md: the upstream file could not be fetched and node cannot be run here
   • Rewrite of the diagnose purpose sentences and before/after longest_span_words and containment numbers
   • Check that docs/upstream/mattpocock-skills.md has a credit row for the diagnosing-bugs source (the file mentions diagnosing-bugs, but the row was not verified)

   Run: https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/actions/runs/40113264046

   To retry, remove needs-human and add agent-ready again.

   Host run. Fetched the upstream mattpocock/skills diagnosing-bugs/SKILL.md at 24fe0ef and ran fingerprint.mjs compare against plugins/testing/skills/diagnose/SKILL.md. It did not fire, so per the issue's Fix nothing changed and no PR was opened.

   What ran (Claude Code 2.1.312, against origin/main at 8d3962adfe):

   • gh api -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.raw' 'repos/mattpocock/skills/contents/skills/engineering/diagnosing-bugs/SKILL.md?ref=24fe0ef', saved to a scratch directory.
   • node plugins/attribution/skills/audit/scripts/fingerprint.mjs compare --local <diagnose SKILL.md> --source <upstream>.
   • The same compare with every quote mark and backtick stripped from both files, because the compare blanks quoted spans.

   Run	separation.fired	longest_span_words	containment	Spans
   As written	false	6	0.005	3 spans (5, 6, 5 words)
   Quotes and backticks stripped	false	6	0.004	the same 3 spans

   All three spans fall on one line, the ## Redact paragraph. None fall in ## Purpose.

   Acceptance criteria:

   • Criterion 1 (fired prints false): pass on main as it stands, in both runs.
   • Criterion 2 (PR body before/after figures): not applicable. The Fix says to change nothing when the check does not fire, so there is no PR. The current figures are in the table above.
   • Criterion 3 (scripts/check-changelog-fragments.sh): not applicable, because there is no diff.
   • Credit row: present. The diagnosing-bugs row in docs/upstream/mattpocock-skills.md names testing:diagnose and records the adopted redaction guard.

   Found: the Redact paragraph keeps upstream's sentence order (what gets shown, redact every secret, write <REDACTED>, credentials in env vars, auth headers, quote only signal lines, say so and ask). It adds local content (stack traces, CI logs, fixtures, the committed regression test) and shares no run longer than 6 words. The credit row records it as an adopted guard. The lexical check passes, so per the issue's rule nothing was changed.

   No PR.

   Target labels: add none; remove host-run.

    Closing: the host-run record above shows fingerprint.mjs compare did not fire against the pinned upstream source, so per this issue's Fix nothing changes. The compared files are markdown, which the compare's quote-blanking does not empty.
