SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you make reliable decisions when information is incomplete, shifting, or contested by turning observations into structured beliefs with explicit confidence updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Belief Tracking: Maintain priors, evidence classes, likelihoods, and posterior confidence for active claims.
  • Live Polling Workflow: Collect current signals from repo state, GitHub metadata, APIs, archives, devices, and validation checks.
  • Decision Support: Record uncertainty, compare evidence quality, and choose whether to promote, hold, reject, or poll again.
  • Use Case: A project lead can use this Skill to monitor readiness across multiple Lantern OS surfaces and keep a running ledger of what is verified versus still speculative.

Quick Start

Use this skill to evaluate one claim, gather the latest evidence, and update its confidence with a clear decision and rationale.

FAQPage Schema
How does Bayesian belief updating work for monitoring live repository evidence?

Bayesian belief updating combines prior confidence with fresh evidence to calculate a posterior likelihood. The Skill classifies observed signals from repo status or APIs, compares evidence quality, and adjusts confidence thresholds to output promote, hold, reject, or repoll decisions.

What is the best way to track confidence levels for claims based on polling data?

Tracking confidence requires maintaining a belief ledger of priors and evidence classes. The Skill processes live polling signals, evaluates likelihoods against current beliefs, and records uncertainty to update posterior confidence for each active claim.

Can I use Bayesian confidence tracking for live API checks and device state monitoring?

Yes, Bayesian confidence tracking applies to live API checks and device state monitoring. The Skill evaluates evidence from these sources, compares it against prior beliefs, and updates structured confidence decisions for monitored claims.

How do I update decisions from observed signals when evidence is incomplete or contested?

Updating decisions from observed signals involves classifying evidence and comparing likelihoods. The Skill records uncertainty, weighs fresh evidence against priors, and determines whether to promote, hold, reject, or repoll based on the updated posterior confidence.

When should I choose a Bayesian belief ledger over standard polling workflows?

Choose a Bayesian belief ledger when polling workflows involve incomplete or shifting information. The Skill structures observations into explicit confidence updates with tracked uncertainty, whereas standard polling lacks formal posterior likelihood comparison and evidence classification.
