SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps decide where a Trails hardening finding should live: Warden, repo-local Oxlint, docs, an advisory skill, or no rule. It guides agents to classify prevention candidates by owner source, Warden tier, lifecycle, diagnostic shape, and false-positive risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provide structured guidance to map findings to rule doctrine and the appropriate home.
  • Document authoritative sources and recommended contexts to support governance decisions.
  • Offer a clear advisory workflow with evidence-backed criteria for placement and subsequent actions.

Quick Start

Provide an initial classification for a Trails audit finding to determine its optimal home and lifecycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I classify Trails hardening findings by owner source and lifecycle?

To classify Trails hardening findings by owner source, you map each finding to authoritative sources, determine the Warden tier, lifecycle stage, and diagnostic shape to identify the appropriate rule home and enforcement approach.

What is the best way to determine where a Trails audit finding should live?

Determining where a Trails audit finding should live involves evaluating the owner source, Warden tier, lifecycle, and false-positive risk to decide between Warden, repo-local Oxlint, docs, an advisory skill, or no rule.

When do I need to use Warden tier classification for governance reviews?

You need Warden tier classification for governance reviews when mapping prevention candidates to rule doctrine, requiring evidence-backed criteria for placement and subsequent enforcement actions across framework audits.

Can I use this advisory workflow for framework audits and topo awareness?

Yes, the advisory workflow applies to framework audits and governance reviews across Warden sources and topo awareness, providing structured guidance to document authoritative sources and recommended contexts for governance decisions.

How to map Trails findings to rule doctrine and appropriate enforcement homes?

Mapping Trails findings to rule doctrine requires defining the rule home, owner source, projection target, lifecycle, and diagnostic shape, utilizing accepted and rejected examples for decision support during placement.

What are the limitations of classifying hardening findings by diagnostic shape?

Classifying hardening findings by diagnostic shape requires careful evaluation of false-positive risk to determine if a prevention candidate should become a Warden rule, repo-local Oxlint rule, or documentation only.
