## What it does

The skill verifies behavior for Aeon repositories before merging. A clean diff review is not treated as proof. Instead, the tool triggers the real `aeon.yml` workflow on the pull request branch. It requires an exact target string structured as `owner/repo#pr@sha` with a 40-character commit hash. The scope strictly covers pull requests altering exactly one `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md` file.

All GitHub operations rely on the `gh` command-line tool. The skill picks a minimal non-destructive input to exercise the modified logic, then triggers the run with a `prove-` prefix on `dispatch_id`. That exact prefix prevents the workflow from pushing commits back to the branch under test. Forks fail immediately because GitHub Actions cannot run untrusted external branches in the target repository.

The execution monitor polls up to 30 minutes, checking for a successful status and captured output. Once the commit SHA is re-checked, the tool posts a PR comment containing a run link and a JSON proof receipt. The final verdict is logged to `memory/logs/`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill create-prove -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/create-prove/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/create-prove/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill create-prove -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/create-prove/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill create-prove -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/create-prove/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon create-prove
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/create-prove/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill create-prove -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/create-prove
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/create-prove/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill create-prove -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon/tree/HEAD/skills/create-prove/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- test modified skill files in live GitHub Actions workflows
- block pull requests when the head commit SHA changes
- reject execution requests from untrusted repository forks
- attach machine-readable proof receipts to PR discussions

## Example prompts
- Prove the skill changes for `aeonfun/aeon#12@4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904`
- Run create-prove on `myorg/repo#5@9f83c78d6e902b48a12702ee61a68b594b2f42a0`

> **${var}** - Required immutable target in the form `owner/repo#pr@40-character-lowercase-sha`.

Today is ${today}. Prove the behavior of one Aeon-shaped change by running the changed skill through the target repository's real `aeon.yml` workflow. A green diff review is not proof. A successful, correlated Actions run is proof.

## Scope

This first implementation supports Aeon-shaped pull requests that change exactly one runnable `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md`. It does not launch conventional applications and it does not guess which skill represents a workflow-only or configuration-only change. Unsupported target shapes must fail closed without posting a proof receipt.

Never prove `create-prove` by recursively dispatching itself. Exit `PROVE_UNSUPPORTED` instead.

## Steps

1. Parse `${var}` into `target=owner/repo#pr` and `expected_sha`. Reject any value outside the exact grammar above with `PROVE_INVALID_TARGET`.
2. Read the PR through `gh api`. Require all of the following:
   - the PR is open;
   - its current `head.sha` equals `expected_sha`;
   - its head branch belongs to the same repository, because `gh workflow run --ref` cannot execute an untrusted fork branch in the base repository;
   - exactly one changed path matches `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md`;
   - the slug is not `create-prove`.
   Any mismatch exits `PROVE_UNSUPPORTED` or `PROVE_STALE` without a receipt.
3. Inspect the changed skill's frontmatter and instructions. Choose the smallest real, non-destructive variable that exercises the changed behavior. If no safe real invocation exists, exit `PROVE_UNSAFE` rather than inventing evidence. Do not use synthetic credentials or a dry-run mode.
4. Dispatch the target branch's workflow by filename, with a unique correlation ID whose `dispatch_id` **must start with the literal prefix `prove-`** — `.github/workflows/aeon.yml`'s commit-skip guard only recognizes that exact prefix to know this run is being proved, not a normal dispatch, and must not commit or push to the branch it's proving. Getting this prefix wrong silently defeats the immutable-head guarantee this whole skill exists to provide:
   ```bash
   dispatch_id="prove-${pr_number}-$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)-${RANDOM}"
   gh workflow run aeon.yml --repo "$repo" --ref "$head_branch" \
     -f skill="$skill" -f var="$proof_var" -f dispatch_id="$dispatch_id"
   ```
   Discover the run only by the exact correlated run title, using the same rule as `chain-runner.yml`. Never select merely the newest run for that skill.
