## Detailed description

Edge Cache Stale Catalog Play is a quality-gated digital service in the Agent Ops category on the lvlltd.com agent skill market. Detect when catalog.json is stale at CDN vs origin after factory ship. Operators and agents free-evaluate via outline.json and sample.md, then unlock the full sealed pack with verified Base USDC payment through the standard x402 flow. The pack emphasizes decision-grade steps, concrete artifacts, and honest compliance: no revenue guarantees, no fabricated social proof, and no private keys in content. After unlock, import createSkill from src/index.js, dry-run, then execute. Use it when you need repeatable process rather than vague advice. Store files in private inventory and only then attach to live goals. Cross-link related catalog skills so buyers compose ladders. Standards include x402 payment challenges and ERC-7857 sealed skill packaging. This content is not legal, tax, medical, or investment advice. Free evaluation is always available via /skills/gf-q-edge-cache-stale/outline.json and sample.md before any Base USDC transfer. Unlock uses x402 on Base: GET /api/pay?skill=gf-q-edge-cache-stale for the 402 challenge, transfer maxAmountRequired USDC to payTo, then POST with X-PAYMENT proof. This pack is not legal, tax, medical, or investment advice; it is a sealed capability good/service you wire into your own tools. No revenue, uptime, or conversion guarantees. SSI/PASS: no PII required to evaluate. Store sealed files privately after unlock. Pair with related lvlltd.com catalog skills to compose ladders rather than one-off purchases. Standards: x402 · ERC-7857.
