During DTD#13 investigation, the stale-counts check produced a false positive on Home-Lab secrets-management/SKILL.md line 113. The match was "12 rules" inside a ## Example Interaction roleplay dialogue (specifically inside an **Assistant:** response that simulates conversation).
The check matched a number-noun pattern that was descriptive of an imagined scenario, not a truth-bearing claim about the skill's actual content.
Recommendation: enhance the stale-counts check to skip content within example dialogue sections. Specifically, skip lines that fall within:
- Sections under
## Example Interaction headings (until next ## or end of file)
- Lines beginning with
**User:** or **Assistant:** markers
- Possibly other roleplay/example markers used in SKILL.md files
This is a category C finding from DTD#13 (false positive from check logic). The other 4 findings in the same investigation were category A (genuine count claims, one of which surfaced a real off-by-one bug in Steam-Cursor-Plugin).
Strategic note: this enhancement is preferable to extending the cursor-plugin type-level stale-counts suppression to SKILL.md. Type-level suppression on SKILL.md would have masked the real Steam off-by-one bug. A context-aware skip is more surgical and preserves the check's value for genuine count claims.
Filed during DTD#13 follow-up.
