Problem
skills/repo-sweep/reference/next.md lines 53-55 say "Invoke each skill ... Show the findings." Nothing says the invoked skill's own procedure and output contract bind the step. An operator can invoke the skill, skim its procedure, and summarize, and the step still ticks.
Evidence
melodic-software/.github#153, step prompt-audit (claude-api with prompt-audit). The bundled guide's line 3 says "Execute the steps below in order - do not summarize them back to the user" and names its deliverables (Step 5 report, Step 6 diff). The operator skipped listing the Step 1 inventory, the Step 2 git blame, and the Step 4 signal greps, and summarized in chat. The user had to ask whether the skill actually ran. A redo reached the same result, but only after the user caught it.
Operator error is the primary cause. No script can prove a skill ran in full, so the fix is an instruction.
Fix
Add one sentence to next.md step 3.2 or 3.3: run each skill's procedure in full as the skill states it, produce its deliverables in the form it specifies, and show those deliverables (not a summary) as the findings.
