Is that based on your "deep understanding" of how LLMs work or have you actually tried it? If you watch the execution trace of a Skill in action, you can see that it's doing exactly this inspection when the skill runs - how could it possibly work any other way?

Skills are just textual instructions, LLMs are perfectly capable of spotting inconsistencies, gaps and contradictions in them. Is that sufficient to create a good skill? No, of course not, you need to actually test them. To use an analogy, asking a LLM to critique a skill is like running lint on C code first to pick up egregious problems, running testcases is vital.

> you can see that it's doing exactly this inspection when the skill runs

I mean how do you know what does it exactly do? Because of the text it outputs?

"exactly this inspection" != "what does it exactly do"
Please read your own sentence again. Because you litterally said the opposite.
I'd tell you to read it again, but you seem to be struggling.
Did I write this: "you can see that it's doing exactly this inspection when the skill runs" ?

So, yeah - read what you wrote again.
