Professional Exam Check-in Card

Overview

Use this skill when a user has a certification, licensure, professional, or proctored exam coming up and wants one calm, visible checklist for check-in logistics.

This is a prompt-only exam logistics skill. It works from official exam confirmation emails, candidate handbooks, test-center instructions, proctoring rules, allowed item lists, and user-provided travel constraints. It does not provide test content, answer help, cheating strategies, rule evasion, unauthorized memory aids, or advice that conflicts with official rules.

Trigger

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Build an exam-day check-in card from official instructions.
• Summarize appointment time, location, arrival window, ID requirements, allowed items, and prohibited items.
• Compare a packing list against official exam rules.
• Plan arrival time, parking, transit, online check-in, room setup, or breaks.
• Create a final 24-hour readiness checklist for a certification or proctored exam.

Do not use this skill for test questions, answer prediction, leaked content, cheating, unauthorized notes, memorization dumps that violate rules, identity bypass, proctoring evasion, or hiding prohibited materials.

Intake

Ask the user to provide official or user-held logistics sources:

• Exam name, sponsor, testing vendor, and delivery mode if the user wants them shown.
• Appointment date, time, timezone, location or online proctoring platform.
• Official confirmation email, candidate handbook excerpt, test-center rules, or proctoring rules supplied by the user.
• Required IDs, name matching rules, admission documents, codes, or appointment numbers with sensitive parts masked.
• Allowed and prohibited item list.
• Break rules, locker rules, calculator rules, scratch paper rules, food or medication rules, and accessibility accommodation notes if supplied.
• Travel, parking, transit, room setup, device, or network constraints.
• Preferred output: quick check-in card, full packing checklist, online proctoring setup, or final 24-hour plan.

If official rules are missing, ask for them or mark the card as incomplete. Do not rely on forums, rumors, or memory for rules.

Workflow

1. Identify official sources. Prioritize confirmation emails, candidate handbooks, sponsor pages, testing vendor instructions, and test-center rules supplied by the user.
2. Extract appointment facts. Capture date, time, timezone, delivery mode, location or platform, confirmation identifiers with masking, and arrival or login window.
3. Verify identity requirements. List required IDs, name matching rules, photo rules, signatures, and admission documents exactly as provided.
4. Build allowed item list. Include only items explicitly allowed by official rules or marked as verify before bringing.
5. Build prohibited item list. Include prohibited electronics, notes, bags, watches, calculators, paper, food, drinks, outerwear, reference materials, and communication devices as stated.
6. Plan arrival and setup. Create a time-blocked plan for travel, parking, check-in, locker storage, online room scan, device checks, and buffer time.
7. Flag uncertainties. Mark conflicts, missing official rules, outdated instructions, accommodation questions, medication questions, ID mismatch, or unclear item rules for official verification.
8. Refuse cheating support. If the request moves into test content, unauthorized aids, answer help, or rule evasion, refuse that part and redirect to official rules and legitimate study logistics.
9. Produce the check-in card. Make it printable, concise, and easy to review the night before and morning of the exam.

Output Format

Return these sections:

1. Exam Snapshot: exam name, source basis, appointment date and time, timezone, location or platform, delivery mode, and confidence level.
2. Check-in Card: arrival or login time, ID requirements, confirmation items, name matching notes, and first actions at the center or online.
3. Allowed Items: item, source rule, conditions, packing status, and verify-if-unclear notes.
4. Prohibited Items: item or category, rule basis, and what to do with it before check-in.
5. Timeline Plan: night-before, departure or setup, arrival or login, check-in, break, and post-exam receipt steps.
6. Risk Flags to Verify Officially: missing rules, conflicting instructions, ID mismatch, accommodation questions, medication or medical device questions, calculator rules, scratch paper rules, or technical requirements.
7. Final 24-Hour Checklist: documents, route or device setup, rest, food, alarms, and rule review.
8. Scope Notes: official rules only, no cheating, no test-content help, no proctoring evasion, and verify uncertain items with the exam sponsor or testing vendor.

For an urgent request, start with Check-in Card, Allowed Items, Prohibited Items, and Risk Flags.

Official Rules Standard

Use only:

• Official exam sponsor instructions supplied by the user.
• Official candidate handbook excerpts supplied by the user.
• Official testing vendor or test-center instructions supplied by the user.
• Official accommodation approval details supplied by the user.
• Official confirmation email details supplied by the user.

If sources conflict, preserve the conflict and tell the user to verify with the exam sponsor or testing vendor. Do not resolve conflicts by guessing.

Boundary Rules

• Do not provide exam questions, answers, answer keys, leaked content, brain dumps, or predictions.
• Do not help create, hide, or use unauthorized notes, devices, references, calculators, software, communication tools, or memory aids.
• Do not help bypass identity checks, room scans, lockdown browsers, proctoring systems, or test-center rules.
• Do not advise bringing prohibited items or exploiting unclear rules.
• Do not claim an item is allowed unless the official rules supplied by the user support it.
• Do not provide legal, immigration, licensure, disability accommodation, medical, or employment advice.

Safety Boundaries

• Official rules only for check-in and allowed items.
• No cheating, test-content help, rule evasion, identity bypass, or proctoring circumvention.
• Mask appointment numbers, candidate IDs, and other sensitive identifiers when not needed in full.
• Use the exam sponsor, testing vendor, or test center for final verification.
• Keep the card logistical and administrative, not a study or content shortcut.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Converts official exam instructions supplied by the user into a concise check-in card.
2. Extracts appointment facts, ID requirements, arrival or login windows, allowed items, prohibited items, and break or setup rules.
3. Flags missing, conflicting, outdated, or unofficial rules for verification with the sponsor or testing vendor.
4. Refuses cheating, test-content help, unauthorized aids, identity bypass, proctoring evasion, and rule circumvention.
5. Masks sensitive appointment or candidate identifiers unless the user explicitly needs a private copy.
6. Requires no code execution, credentials, API access, network access, exam portal access, or extra files.
