Worked example

Follow an X bookmark-to-skill example

Trace an illustrative X bookmark from qualification and source review through skill packaging, activation tests, and checksum-bound approval.

This example uses a fictional bookmark so that the evidence boundary is explicit. The bookmark describes a source-backed review process for technical workflows. It does not represent a customer result or claim measured product performance.

Start with the saved claim

Before adopting a technical workflow from social media, separate the instructions from the claims, verify the claims with primary sources, and write a checklist that records the evidence.

The post contains a repeatable outcome, but it omits the evidence standard, report format, and stopping conditions. It needs research before it can become a reliable skill.

Qualify the candidate

CategoryScoreReason
Repeatability2The post names an ordered review pattern.
Evidence1The source standard needs definition.
Safety2The workflow reviews information and does not install it.
Specificity1The output format is missing.
Reuse value2The review applies to many saved workflows.

The candidate scores 8 out of 10 and has no automatic rejection. The missing evidence and output details must be resolved during research.

Define the evidence rules

The compiled workflow adds the following boundaries:

Package the workflow

The resulting skill contains a short activation description, the review procedure, a report template, and the original source note:

x-bookmark-workflow-review/
├── SKILL.md
├── manifest.json
└── references/
    ├── report-template.md
    └── source.md

Test the activation boundary

Review the exact package

The reviewer inspects all files and approves the package checksum. A later change to the instructions, template, source note, or manifest produces a different checksum and requires another review.

View the public X bookmark workflow review repository, inspect the complete sample SKILL.md file and its review report template. To evaluate another candidate, use the bookmark qualification rubric.
