council-verdict

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of needing to issue or adjust a Council verdict without running the full 3-role review process, which is required for administrative overrides, post-hoc corrections of miscomputed verdicts, and handling stale or abandoned threads, while maintaining mandatory audit requirements like required rationales and consent gates to prevent misuse.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dual verdict class support: Handles both review-class verdicts (FIX, ACCEPT, ESCALATE, INVESTIGATE) for existing threads and lifecycle-class verdicts (OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER, TRIAGE_ACCEPT, TRIAGE_REJECT) for channel-level administrative actions.
• Built-in safety guardrails: Enforces mandatory consent gates for high-risk actions including overriding existing verdicts and issuing FIX verdicts on active threads with unresolved tasks, and preserves full audit trails by archiving prior verdicts instead of overwriting them.
• Use case: If a Council review issued a FIX verdict for a security thread but the security team later determines the threat model requires deeper investigation before committing to a remediation path, you can use this Skill to override the verdict to INVESTIGATE with a full rationale, with the original FIX verdict archived for compliance.

Quick Start

Use the council-verdict skill to override the existing FIX verdict on thread auth-review to INVESTIGATE, with the rationale "Security team confirmed the threat model requires deeper analysis before committing to a remediation path."
