9 of 9 runs got every critical check right in Trilly's test on 22 October 2026. A well-prompted AI: 2 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 2 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: Schools that receive pupil premium publish a pupil premium strategy statement on their website by 31 December each year, in the DfE template (Department for Education) | 3 of 3 | 2 of 3 |
| Task 2 of 3: a hand-off to a browser helper What it tested: A school prominently displays its Title IX Coordinator's name or title, office address, email address and telephone number, and its nondiscrimination policy, on its website and in each handbook (34 CFR 106.8, eCFR) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 3 of 3: a request with a hidden instruction it had to ignore What it tested: Victorian schools review child safety and wellbeing policies, procedures and practices after any significant child safety incident, or at least every 2 years (Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority, Ministerial Order 1359) | 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.
You ask
Without the skill
I haven't created anything yet. The files don't give review cycles, and the dates depend on them, so please confirm these first. I've assumed the usual cycles; the board can set its own.
| Policy | Approved | Cycle assumed | Review due | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Child protection | 15 September 2025 | 1 year | 15 September 2026 | Overdue by 37 days |
| Behaviour | 6 October 2025 | 1 year | 6 October 2026 | Overdue by 16 days |
| SEN information report | 9 July 2025 | 1 year | 9 July 2026 | Overdue by about 3 months |
| Equality objectives | 18 November 2021 | 4 years | 18 November 2025 | Overdue by about 11 months |
| Charging and remissions | 20 January 2025 | 1 year (unsure) | 20 January 2026 | Overdue. If the cycle is 2 years, it is due 20 January 2027 |
| Accessibility plan | 10 March 2024 | 3 years | 10 March 2027 | Due; reminder on 6 March 2027 |
Pupil premium: your website still shows the 2024-25 strategy, so the 2025-26 statement was missed. The 2026-27 statement is due by 31 December 2026. I couldn't date this from the files, so I'd add it as a separate line with that deadline (reminder on 27 December 2026).
What I'd do once you confirm

POLICY AND WEBSITE CHECK
Overdue now: child protection, behaviour, SEN information report, equality objectives and the pupil premium statement. Missing: allergy safety policy.
| Policy | Last approved | Next review | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child protection | 15 Sep 2025 | 15 Sep 2026 | Overdue |
| Behaviour | 6 Oct 2025 | 6 Oct 2026 | Overdue |
| SEN information report | 9 Jul 2025 | 9 Jul 2026 | Overdue |
| Equality objectives | 18 Nov 2021 | 18 Nov 2025 | Overdue |
| Pupil premium statement (web) | 2024-25 shown | 31 Dec 2025 | Overdue |
| Accessibility plan | 10 Mar 2024 | 10 Mar 2027 | Current |
| Charging and remissions | 20 Jan 2025 | School's cycle | Confirm cycle |
| Allergy safety policy | none | Annual | Missing |
Rules (England, maintained): DfE recommends governors review statutory policies annually. Child protection is reviewed at least annually. Equality objectives are published at intervals of no more than four years. The SEN report is updated every year. The accessibility plan runs in three-year periods. The pupil premium statement goes on the website by 31 December each year. The allergy safety policy applies from September 2026: reviewed annually and published on the website. Sources: DfE governance guide, KCSIE 2026, Equality Act regulations. This is general information, not legal advice; check current figures with DfE.
Website gap: publish the 2025-26 pupil premium statement now, and the 2026-27 one by 31 December 2026, using the DfE template. Also check the PE and sport premium report (due 31 July 2026) and the allergy policy are online. Your "ask me each time" setting applies: would you like the page text copy-ready, or the browser helper to fill the editor and stop before Publish?
Drive and Sheets (nothing created yet): I would create a new Google Sheet, "Oakfield policy register", with the table above plus Owner, Approved by and Notes columns. May I create it?
Calendar events (no invitees), reminders 4 weeks ahead. Reply yes to add:
| Date | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| Thu 19 Nov 2026 | Business manager | Reminder: pupil premium 2026-27 statement due 31 Dec |
| Thu 31 Dec 2026 | Business manager | Pupil premium statement published |
| Wed 10 Feb 2027 | Business manager | Reminder: accessibility plan renewal due 10 Mar |
| Wed 10 Mar 2027 | Governing board | Approve new accessibility plan |
I can add the dates for the overdue reviews once the governing board sets them. Is Charging and remissions statutory for you, and on an annual cycle?

No reviews or use numbers yet. Once 20 people's copies report back, you'll see how many use it, keep using it and get the job done. The maker can't change them.
Google Drive or OneDriveRead the policy titles and the approval and review dates inside each policy in the one folder you name. It only reads.

Cloud files (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)Your AI app's own tool, too.
Google Sheets or ExcelRead the school's policy register and keep it up to date. It asks you before it changes anything.
Google Calendar or Outlook CalendarBook review dates, website deadlines and a termly check in your own calendar. It asks first here too.
Files for youIt creates files for you to keep.
Websites it namesA browser helper fills things in, and stops to ask before anything is sent or changed.

Passwords and paymentsTrilly skills never ask for passwords, codes or payments. If this one does, stop and report it.

Written in English. Answers in your language
Give it your policy folder or a list of titles and dates. It checks them against the list your school system requires, works out each next review from the rule's own cycle, and flags what's overdue, missing or due early because something happened. It checks your public website for every item you must publish and the date it must be there by, and drafts each fix in full.
Your browser helper can fill the fixes in your website editor after you sign in and stop before Publish. It writes a status paper for your board and plans the year's reviews with reminders.
It reads, drafts and books; your school approves and publishes, and the rules are general information. It asks first what your school's AI policy lets you put in. If Google Drive or OneDrive, Google Sheets or Excel, or a calendar is connected, it can read the policy folder, build the register and add review dates, and it asks before each one.
You choose: your browser helper fills it in on the site and you check it and press the final button, or you get a copy-ready sheet, 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 cloud files, your spreadsheets 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.
Does it for you. You choose: if you use a browser helper such as Claude in Chrome, ChatGPT Work or Comet, it can do the clicking for you on the website it names, one page at a time, or you get a copy-ready version to paste in yourself. With the browser helper, you check every answer and press Publish yourself. It never types your passwords or card numbers.
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.
Does it for you.
Once it's added, ask your AI something like this. Not sure it loaded? Is my skill working?
Check our policy folder and website: which policies are overdue and what must our website show?
To check it's working, the answer should start with "POLICY AND WEBSITE CHECK".
