The marker is literal text in which a whole-word N stands for a number; the default is `Dispatching N specialists:`. N = 0 (`Dispatching 0 specialists: (small diff)`) or a "specialists skipped" line means zero specialists were selected, which passes.

+A run the skill ended early counts as met: a final `STATUS: BLOCKED` (for /investigate, `Status: BLOCKED` in its DEBUG REPORT) or a final message with a line that starts "Nothing to review" (/review's early exit).
 
 The checker's default marker strings live in one table, `DEFAULT_MATCHERS` in `lib/skill-contract.ts`; a skill's own `marker`, `empty_marker` or `match` overrides them.
