name: ox-attest-create description: >- Turn a demonstrated red/green Attest run pair into an honest portable proof. Use when a user asks to attest, prove, stamp, record, publish, or explain a BDD capability's evidence. Inspect ox attest proof <capability> and the run artifacts first; use ox attest record only after a real red failure and a green recovery demonstrate the customer claim.

<!-- This opt-in skill protects the meaning of an attestation. The CLI owns record validation and freshness; this layer helps an AI coworker choose evidence honestly before invoking it. -->

Create evidence, not a decorative stamp

1. Start with ox attest proof <capability> and read the customer claim, current verdict, and any prior evidence.
2. Make the promised behavior fail in a way that lands on the claim step; save the unedited failure text and its run ID.
3. Restore the behavior, run the same scenario green, and retain that run ID.
4. Describe the break in the language of the customer's promise. Name only product surfaces the run actually exercised.
5. Use ox attest record with both run IDs, the verbatim red failure, the failed step, and the exercised surfaces. If the evidence is ambiguous or incomplete, record that honestly rather than forcing a clean verdict.
6. Run ox attest status and ox attest check --json afterward. Publish only evidence that remains current and explain any stale or unknown result.
