Spike Consumer Skill (Inline Arm)
An experiment-harness skill that writes an incident post-mortem while sourcing a guidance skill inline, used to test whether nested skill calls derail the original task.

What it does
- Reads an incident data file and produces a post-mortem report through a fixed six-step procedure.
- At step 3 it invokes a companion guidance skill,
spike-guidance-inline, inline (non-forked), absorbs the readability standard, then returns to the main task. - The report has five labeled sections (Summary, Impact, Root cause, Resolution, Follow-up actions) and must carry four facts: incident ID, primary error code, peak latency, affected service.
- Finally it writes
<TRIALS_DIR>/<TRIAL_ID>.mdand emits a machine-checkable completion token line (CONSUMER_COMPLETE | ...).
Who it's for
- Engineers studying how nested skill invocation affects task completion in Claude Code
- Designers of skill/plugin orchestration architectures
- Anyone wanting a template for A/B harnesses with automatically gradable completion tokens
Example uses
- Run the inline arm (this skill) against a forked arm on identical data to compare how often all six steps finish.
- Parse the completion token line to auto-score whether all four key facts survived the detour.
- Reuse its "call a helper skill, then explicitly return to the main task" wording pattern in your own skills.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/testdouble/han/HEAD/docs/plans/han-communication-plugin/artifacts/oi-3-spike/harness-skills/spike-consumer-inline/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
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-inline folder from the GitHub repo testdouble/han into my ~/.claude/skills/spike-consumer-inline/. 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 && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/spike-consumer-inline && cp han/docs/plans/han-communication-plugin/artifacts/oi-3-spike/harness-skills/spike-consumer-inline/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/spike-consumer-inline/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/testdouble/han.git - Create the skill folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/spike-consumer-inline - Copy the skill file:
cp han/docs/plans/han-communication-plugin/artifacts/oi-3-spike/harness-skills/spike-consumer-inline/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/spike-consumer-inline/ - Install the companion skill
spike-guidance-inlinefrom the sameharness-skillsdirectory — step 3 depends on it. - Restart Claude Code, then invoke it while passing a
TRIAL_ID, an incident data file path, and aTRIALS_DIR. - Verify the completion token on the last line of
<TRIALS_DIR>/<TRIAL_ID>.md.
