Three worked examples in SKILL.md add details that their Before texts do not contain, against rule 3 ("Do not add a fact, name, number, date, quote, or citation unless it comes from the source or the user"). The 2.9.0 release (#189) re-cut five examples for exactly this reason (fixes #187), and these three escaped that audit:

  • §7 (Somali cuisine): the After added "which is considered a delicacy" and "especially in the south". Neither appears in the Before. Both dropped.
  • §8 (Gallery 825): the After turned "over 3,000 square feet" (a lower bound) into "four rooms totaling 3,000 square feet" (an exact, smaller figure, and "spaces" became "rooms"). Now keeps "four separate spaces and over 3,000 square feet".
  • §12 (universe journey): the After invented "The book" as the medium and dropped "the grand cosmic web" and star "death". Now lists the topics without naming a medium.

Because these Before/After pairs are the prompt's few-shot examples, they taught the model to fabricate attributes, de-hedge quantities, and guess the medium while claiming the skill "does not make things up" (README).

Version bumped to 2.11.3 in SKILL.md, plugin.json, and the README history per AGENTS.md. No change to the 35 patterns. Found in a full-repo review; happy to adjust the replacement wording.

Refs #187.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The §7, §8, and §12 After texts added details missing from their
Before texts: a delicacy claim, an exact figure for a stated lower
bound, and a book as the medium. Rule 3 forbids adding facts the
source does not contain, and the 2.9.0 example audit missed these
three. Refs blader#187.
