Spike Consumer (Forked Arm)
An experimental harness skill that builds a six-step incident post-mortem to measure agent behavior across a context fork.

What it does
- Reads an incident data file and extracts four mandatory facts: incident ID, primary error code, peak latency, affected service.
- Mid-workflow, invokes the paired guidance skill
spike-guidance-forkedto source a shared readability standard. - Drafts a post-mortem with five labeled sections (Summary, Impact, Root cause, Resolution, Follow-up actions), writes it to
<TRIALS_DIR>/<TRIAL_ID>.md, and appends an exact completion token. - Its real purpose is instrumentation: checking whether the agent resumes and finishes the original task after a sub-skill (context fork) call.
Who it's for
- Engineers experimenting with Claude Code's Skill invocation and context-fork behavior.
- Researchers reproducing "agent stops after the sub-skill" failure modes.
- Not suitable if you simply want a general-purpose post-mortem writer.
Examples
- Run with
TRIAL_ID=oi3-007plus an incident log path and verify the artifact ends with a well-formedCONSUMER_COMPLETE | ...line. - Compare six-step completion rates between the forked and inline arms on identical data.
- Script a grader that confirms all four facts appear across the five report sections.

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the docs/plans/han-communication-plugin/artifacts/oi-3-spike/harness-skills/spike-consumer-forked folder from the GitHub repo testdouble/han into my ~/.claude/skills/spike-consumer-forked/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/testdouble/han.git && cp -r han/docs/plans/han-communication-plugin/artifacts/oi-3-spike/harness-skills/spike-consumer-forked ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/testdouble/han.git - Go to the harness folder:
cd han/docs/plans/han-communication-plugin/artifacts/oi-3-spike/harness-skills - Copy this skill and its companion:
cp -r spike-consumer-forked spike-guidance-forked ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code and confirm registration with
/skills. - When invoking, always supply
TRIAL_ID, the incident data file path, andTRIALS_DIR; without them the skill cannot run correctly.
