bdistill-behavioral-xray
X-ray any AI model's behavioral patterns — refusal boundaries, hallucination tendencies, reasoning style, formatting defaults. No API key needed.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a systematic probing methodology and generates detailed behavioral reports that the AI would not reliably produce on its own.

What this skill does
Behavioral X-Ray Systematically probe an AI model's behavioral patterns and generate a visual report. The described workflow probes the host model through its existing session; it still requires the separately installed bdistill package/MCP integration and can consume host-model usage. Do not configure the host automatically just from a request to read this skill. Overview bdistill's Behavioral X-Ray runs 30 carefully designed probe questions across 6 dimensions, auto-tags each response with behavioral metadata, and compiles results into a styled HTML report with radar charts and actionable insights. Use it to understand your model before building with it, compare models for task selection, or track behavioral drift over time. When to Use This Skill Use when you want to understand how your AI model actually behaves (not how it claims to) Use when choosing between models for a specific task Use when debugging unexpected refusals, hallucinations, or formatting issues Use for compliance auditing — documenting model behavior at deployment boundaries Use for red team assessments — systematic boundary mapping across safety dimensions How It Works Step 1: Install For other tools, add bdistill-mcp as an MCP server in your project config. Step 2: Run the probe In Claude Code: In any tool with MCP: Probe Dimensions Dimension What it measures ----------- ----------------- tooluse When does it call tools vs. answer from knowledge? refusal Where does it draw safety boundaries? Does it over-refuse? formatting Lists vs. prose? Code blocks? Length calibration? reasoning Does the visible answer provide an appropriate concise explanation and handle trick questions? Do not request, expose or infer hidden chain-of-thought. …
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
