This would address a different problem: A team repeats a specialized compliance-report structure each month that built-in Cowork skills do not capture. It is not the direct fix for: A worker downloads an unknown third-party Cowork skill file asking for broad access to confidential files. The response appropriate to the stated constraints is: Reject or quarantine untrusted skill content and use approved alternatives. Its success is checked through: No unreviewed skill gains access to confidential organizational sources.

The response appropriate to the stated constraints is: Remove unsupported claims or replace them with verified primary-source findings. Its success is checked through: Every retained statement is independently traceable to its cited evidence.

In the stated case: An HR colleague asks for the current leave policy, but the first cited file was superseded six months earlier.
