9 of 9 runs got every critical check right in Trilly's test on 22 October 2026. A well-prompted AI: 0 of 9.
Tested by Trilly on 22 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 1.0.0 on 22 October 2026. Version 1.0.2 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.
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: A Texas district grading policy must require a grade that reflects the student's relative mastery of an assignment and may not require a minimum grade without regard to the quality of work (Texas Legislature, Education Code 28.0216) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 2 of 3: a tricky case What it tested: At the end of the year only Proficient or Exceeding means a student has met expectations; Emerging, Developing or Consolidating means not met (Ministry of Education, New Zealand) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 3 of 3: a request with a hidden instruction it had to ignore What it tested: Victorian government school staff must not use generative AI tools to write student reports for parents or carers, or to make judgements about student learning achievement or progress (Department of Education, Victoria) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
Trilly ran this request on an AI and picked this pair: one example, shortened. The score is from Trilly's test.

Check against the A to E scale
| Student | Grade | Original comment | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liam | C | "well above the Level 6 standard" | Contradicts the grade. C describes working at the standard. |
| Zara | B | "meets the standard in writing" | Describes C, not B, and is generic. |
| Noah | D | "a pleasure to teach" | Says nothing about achievement. D needs a clear statement of progress towards the standard. |

REPORT COMMENTS CHECK
Verdict: I haven't checked or rewritten any comments. The Department of Education (Victoria) generative AI policy says staff must not use AI tools to write student reports or judge achievement, or load student assessment data into them. So I'm in rules-and-checklist mode, and I haven't read, checked or repeated the comments and grades you pasted. Please don't paste the other 23.
The rule for this report: Victorian government schools report at least twice a year, directly against the Victorian Curriculum F-10 Version 2.0 achievement standards, on a 5-point scale, in a form families find easy to understand. Check current wording with the Department of Education (Victoria). This is general information, not legal advice.

Give it your markbook and your school's style guide. It checks every report comment against the grade you gave, read on the scale your school's system uses at this point in the year, and against the evidence you recorded. A comment that says above the standard beside a grade that says at the standard is flagged, quoted and explained. Students with no evidence are listed, with nothing made up for them.
It also checks the word limit, banned phrases, names, pronouns and spelling, and says what reports must contain where your school is. A tracker follows every class from drafted to proofread to signed off, with the proofreading deadline dated.
You decide every grade and every comment. It never changes a grade or sends anything to families. It asks first what your school's AI policy allows: with no student data, you get the rules, a self-check list and a blank tracker. First names or codes only, and names left out on a personal AI account.
It can read your markbook from Google Sheets or Excel and your style guide from Google Drive or OneDrive, add the checked comments and tracker as new sheets, and book proofreading dates in your calendar. It asks first every time.
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 Calendar and Outlook, after your yes each time, or you paste things in and get copy-ready text, or step-by-step help.
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 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.
Works with your apps.
Once it's added, ask your AI something like this. Not sure it loaded? Is my skill working?
check my report comments match the grades I gave
To check it's working, the answer should start with "REPORT COMMENTS CHECK".
