Assembly hallucinations
Invented mnemonics that do not exist (movqad), AT&T/Intel operand inversion, zeroed immediates.

Every skill is a compact SKILL.md: when to use, what the agent often gets wrong, how to reason correctly, and how to verify.
why
What the agent often gets wrong
Named failure classes, catalogued from real incidents — not vibes.
Fake parallelism
Thread-safe-looking code running on one thread. The gate measures real thread counts and wall-clock scaling.
Crate hallucination
Nonexistent crates that resemble real ones — a typosquatting risk (5.2–21.7% of generated packages).
Misleading verification
A "passing" harness that does not test the target. Fixed-shape oracles certify buggy GPU kernels.
research
Grounded in 55+ documented failures
Three source-traced surveys turned real AI-agent failures into an engineering playbook.
Agent failures survey
~55 documented failures in low-level code: CONCUR, RustEvo², Ghostty VM leaks, crypto-Rust, ISO-Bench.
agent-failures-surveyAssembly hallucinations
Invented mnemonics, AT&T inversion, Thumb-2 errors, plausible-but-wrong decompilation.

18+ external skill repositories audited: the Zig gap, new domains, licensing and methodology lessons.

quality
Verification is executed, not asserted
Source-backed
65 of 124 skills were verified by executing examples on real toolchains: GCC 16.1, rustc 1.97, GDB, objdump, CMake/Ninja.
Claim → source → skill
Every normative claim is traced in registry/claims.yaml, backed by 177 primary sources.
Honest stability
Where a toolchain is unavailable, skills are marked researched with the exact verification command.
One gate for everything
python tools/validate.py checks all 124 skills, the registry, and every source trace in seconds.
