# Nonstandard Fields Probe
This skill uses frontmatter fields that are NOT in the Agent Skills
specification: `requires`, `depends-on`, and `priority`. It tests whether
any platform recognizes and acts on these fields.
## Instructions
When activated, report:
1. **Field visibility**: Can you see the nonstandard frontmatter fields
(`requires`, `depends-on`, `priority`)? If so, list their values.
2. **Platform behavior**: Did the platform do anything with these fields?
For example:
- Did it attempt to load `probe-loading` based on the `requires` field?
- Did it attempt to load `probe-shadow-alpha` and `probe-shadow-beta`
based on the `depends-on` field?
- Did it order skills or change behavior based on `priority`?
- Or were the fields silently ignored?
3. **Validation**: Did the platform warn about unrecognized frontmatter
fields, or accept them silently?
