This is my major concern. Wondering if we should always ask user before doing a forward-testing

This updates the
skill-creatorsample skill to explicitly cover forward-testing as part of the skill authoring workflow. The guidance now treats subagent-based validation as a first-class step for complex or fragile skills, with an emphasis on preserving evaluation integrity and avoiding leaked context.The sample initialization script is also updated so newly created skills point authors toward forward-testing after validation. Together, these changes make the sample more opinionated about how skills should be iterated on once the initial implementation is complete.
SKILL.mdon protecting validation integrity, when to use subagents for forward-testing, and how to structure realistic test prompts without leaking expected answers.
