SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Converts introspection scorecards into actionable remediation artifacts so teams can close system health gaps without manual spec drafting and reduces time to remediate weakest subsystems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Seed YAML generation: Produces a spec-first seed YAML that defines goals, constraints, and acceptance criteria for an improvement cycle.
  • Autoloop program creation: Emits a program.md in autoloop format to drive autonomous metric optimization and orchestration.
  • Governor safety gating: Flags high-risk prescriptions for human approval based on schema, file, routing, and ambiguity thresholds.
  • Use Case: Run on an introspection scorecard to identify a memory subsystem regression, map it to a playbook, and generate fixtures plus an autoloop program for automated repair.

Quick Start

Run the prescriber on a scorecard or live introspection to generate a seed YAML and autoloop program for the identified weakest metric.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an introspection scorecard into actionable remediation artifacts?

To convert an introspection scorecard into remediation artifacts, apply a prescriber workflow that identifies the weakest subsystem, maps it to a remediation playbook, and generates a seed YAML plus an autoloop program for autonomous improvement.

How does governor safety gating work for autonomous improvement prescriptions?

Governor safety gating flags high-risk prescriptions for human approval by enforcing safety rules against schema, file, and routing changes, ensuring that ambiguous or hazardous autonomous improvement cycles are intercepted before execution.

What is the best way to automate self-healing workflows for system health regressions?

Automating self-healing workflows involves running a prescriber on live introspection or JSON scorecards to identify subsystem regressions, map them to playbooks, and emit an autoloop program to orchestrate automated metric optimization and repair.

Can I use a live introspection feed instead of a JSON scorecard to generate seed YAML?

Yes, you can use live introspection feeds instead of JSON scorecards. The prescriber accepts both formats to identify the weakest metric, enforce governor safety rules, and output the required seed YAML and program.md files for the autoloop.

What files does a self-healing prescriber output for an autoloop program?

A self-healing prescriber outputs a spec-first seed YAML defining goals and constraints, a program.md formatted for the autoloop, and a governor report detailing safety gating for high-risk schema, file, or routing changes.

When should I avoid automated seed YAML generation for system remediation?

You should avoid automated seed YAML generation when a prescription triggers governor safety rules for high-risk schema, file, or routing changes, requiring human approval before the autoloop program can safely execute autonomous improvements.
