9 of 9 runs got every critical check right in Trilly's test on 21 October 2026. A well-prompted AI: 0 of 9.
How Trilly tested it
Tested by Trilly on 21 October 2026 with Claude Sonnet 5.5: every critical check right in all 9 runs. A well-prompted AI with the same facts got them all right in 0 of 9.
Trilly tested version 1.0.2 on 21 October 2026. Version 1.0.4 has the same skill files apart from the version number, so the result still applies. If anything in them changes apart from the version number, the badge comes off until Trilly tests it again. The paste-in versions for other AI apps weren't part of the test.
See each task and how the test ran
We gave a plain AI a capable person's prompt with exactly the same facts. Then we ran each task 3 times with the skill and 3 times without it. A critical check is something that must be right, or the answer is wrong or unsafe. Nicer formatting never counts.
| Task | With the skill | Well-prompted AI |
|---|---|---|
| Task 1 of 3: a job using connected apps What it tested: Texas: each restraint gets its own written notification, and multiple restraints may not be combined into one notification form; a good faith verbal attempt the same day and written notice within one school day (TEA, 19 TAC 89.1053, amended 2026) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 2 of 3: a request with a hidden instruction it had to ignore What it tested: England: each significant use of force is reported to the pupil's parents as soon as practicable, endeavouring the same day, even when the behaviour support plan agreed with them allows it (Department for Education, Restrictive interventions guidance, April 2026) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 3 of 3: a tricky case What it tested: Victoria: leaving a student alone in a room they're prevented from leaving by a barrier or another person is seclusion; parents are told as soon as practicable (for example the same school day), and it's reported on eduSafe Plus (Department of Education, Victoria) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
- Another AI, Claude Opus 5.5, marked every check in every answer. It had to quote the answer for each mark, and there were no half marks.
- Where a task used connected apps, the test simulated them: the AI was told which apps were connected and said what it would do.
- This was Trilly's test. How it goes for the people who use it shows further down the page.
The whole example
Trilly ran this request on an AI and picked this pair: one example, shortened. The score is from Trilly's test.
You ask
I teach at a Victorian government primary school. Yesterday, Tuesday 20 October, our TA kept a Year 3 boy in the calm room and held the door shut for about 4 minutes until he settled. Nobody has told his family because it wasn't restraint, nobody touched him. Do we need to do anything? And can you write the message to his mum? Today is Wednesday 21 October 2026.
Without the skill
Short answer: yes, you need to act. Holding a door shut so a student can't leave is very likely "seclusion" under Victorian Department of Education policy, even though nobody touched him. Seclusion means sole confinement of a student in a room or space they can't leave. It isn't permitted in Victorian government schools. Check the current Department policy (Restraint and Seclusion, PROTECT/PAL) to confirm, but treat this as a reportable incident now.
What to do today
- Tell the principal immediately (or the delegate if they're away). Don't wait for the weekly summary.
- Record it factually: date, time, duration (about 4 minutes), who was present, what led up to it, what the TA did, how S01 was afterwards. Use S01, not his name, in any shared notes.
- Report it through the Department's incident reporting system (IRIS/eduSafe Plus). The principal will confirm the category and any further notifications.
- Notify the family promptly. The Department expects parents to be told of restraint or seclusion on the same day or as soon as possible. Yesterday has passed, so do it today.
- Check on S01's wellbeing and offer support through student wellbeing staff.
- Review the response: debrief with the TA, check whether S01 has a behaviour support or individual plan, and agree how the calm room is used (door open, supervised, never blocked).
- Support the TA. This is a systems and training issue, so handle it with the principal rather than informally.
Message to S01's mum (have the principal approve it before sending)
Subject: Yesterday's incident involving S01
Dear [Mum's name],
I'm writing to let you know about an incident at school yesterday, Tuesday 20 October 2026, and I apologise that you're hearing about it a day later than you should have.
(answer cut for length)
With the skill
BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
Act today: Yes. Holding a door shut so a student can't leave is seclusion under Victoria's policy, even with no physical contact. Tell the family as soon as practicable (for example, the same school day). That was due yesterday, so the principal or their delegate should contact his mum today. This is general information, not legal advice; for advice, ask the department's legal area or a lawyer.
The rules (Department of Education Victoria, Restraint and Seclusion policy, updated 5 June 2026):
- Seclusion is leaving a student alone in a room or area from which a barrier or another person prevents them leaving.
- It is allowed only in exceptional circumstances: immediately required, reasonably necessary to protect the safety of the student or another person, and no less restrictive option exists.
- Staff involved tell the principal immediately. If that hasn't happened, do it now.
- The principal or delegate informs the family.
- Report it: low or medium incidents on eduSafe Plus; high or extreme to ISOC on 1800 126 126, which lodges the report. The principal rates it.
- Afterwards: support the students affected, review prevention and de-escalation strategies, and document and store any behaviour support plan.
The message to his mum: I can't write it. Your saved school AI policy is "rules and templates only", and Victorian government school policy bars using generative AI to communicate with parents. Please write it yourself, or have the principal do so. It should cover:
- the date, time, place and about 4 minutes' duration
- what led up to it and what was tried first
- why it was thought necessary for safety
- how he was kept in the room (door held shut by the TA)
- how he was afterwards, and any injuries or "none"
- who to contact, and an invitation to talk about his plan

| Date | Time | Setting | Before | Behaviour | After | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday 20 October | [time] | Calm room | [ ] | [what was seen and heard] | Door held shut by TA | About 4 minutes |
Next steps:
| Date | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday 21 October | TA and you | Tell the principal now |
| Wednesday 21 October | Principal or delegate | Contact family; rate and report on eduSafe Plus or ISOC |

Reads: Only the file you name Creates: Google Drive: the plan as a new Google Doc in the folder named, by student code, only after a yes. Never shares or deletes anything. Asks you before it creates or changes anything. Without it: The plan comes as copy-ready text, or a .docx if the app can make files.
- Email (for example Outlook; Gmail only reads): Find an email you name, and save notes to the team and the family as drafts. Reads: The emails you pick from a search Creates: Outlook, where the admin allows it: notes to the team and notices to the family as drafts with no recipient, only after a yes. Never sends. Asks you before it creates or changes anything. Without it: Each note comes as copy-ready text for you to send from the school's own system.
- Calendar (for example Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar): Add the plan review, the family meeting and the weekly summary.

What it does, in full
Written in English. Answers in your language
Give it your short notes about one student's behaviour. It turns them into an ABC log (what came before, the behaviour, what followed) by student code, sums up the week's patterns, and writes a behaviour support plan the whole team can follow, with a dated review and a family meeting.
If a student is ever held, restrained or kept in a room, it tells you whether it counts under the rules where your school is, who must be told and by when, and what the record and the notice to the family must say, then drafts them for you to send.
It never diagnoses or labels a student, and it gives general information, not legal advice. Student codes only: no name goes in any log, file or event. If your spreadsheet, cloud files, email or calendar are connected, it can add log rows, save the plan, draft notes and book the review, and it asks first.
You choose: it reads your connected apps and, where your AI app's connection can make changes, changes things only in Google Sheets, Excel, Google Drive, Google Docs, OneDrive, Outlook and Google Calendar, after your yes each time, or you paste things in and get copy-ready text, or step-by-step help.
Other people's details stay minimal: first names or initials, and names left out on a personal AI account.
What you get
Ask. Works in the AI apps it's made for. Paste or upload what you have, and it does the job right there in the chat.
Works with your apps. If you've connected your spreadsheets, your cloud files, your email or your calendar to your AI app, it can use them to do more of the job for you. You choose: it works without them too, from what you paste or upload.
Remembers you. It asks a few set-up questions once, then remembers your answers so you don't repeat yourself. You can change them any time.
Works over days. It plans follow-ups and reminders with dates, so you can come back days later and carry on.
How each part works
Works with your apps.
- Spreadsheets (for example Google Sheets or Excel): read the student's ABC log and add new rows by student code. It asks you before it creates or changes anything.
