SKILL.md- the skill, written out in plain English

criteria:
  - name: log_feedback_successful
    kind: deterministic
    check: "The 'logFeedback' function from 'state/lib/dom-cartographer.ts' must be called and log a successful outcome."
  - name: determinstic_audit_defined
    kind: deterministic
    check: "The skill's 'eval' field must be 'auto', indicating a deterministic auditor has been defined."
  - name: output_map_written_to_skill
    kind: judge
    check: "The 'writeMapToSkill' function from 'state/lib/dom-cartographer.ts' must produce a reusable selector catalog that accurately reflects the DOM snapshots taken."
  - name: all_steps_executed
    kind: deterministic
    check: "All listed helper functions (verifyAuth, startSession, snapshotDom, pageEval, writeMapToSkill, logFeedback) from 'state/lib/dom-cartographer.ts' must be executed during the skill run."
