adjudicate
Skill0 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub
Adjudicate the claims from a codex-failsafe review — give every claim an evidence-backed disposition (confirmed / refuted / governed / out-of-scope / open) and write the ledger entry. Use after a pre or post run, or when the user asks to work through a review's findings.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Adjudicating a review
Read reference/adjudication.md — it is the protocol. In short:
- Locate the raw claims — the most recent
*.codex.jsonin.codex-failsafe/(or the path the run printed). Never edit this file. - For each claim, run its
how_to_falsifyfirst. The failsafe itself named the command or document that would prove it wrong; that is the cheapest adjudication and was chosen by the party with no stake. - Assign a disposition —
confirmed,refuted(evidence required),governed(citation required),out-of-scope(destination required), oropen. If you cannot produce evidence against a claim, it isopen, notrefuted— "I disagree" is not a disposition. - Route what survives: a
confirmedfinding is a fix, plus the test or check that should have caught it, plus a sweep of itsdefect_classacross every sibling surface — done now, not when the next pass rediscovers the same shape one file over. Anopenquestion goes to the user with the fork stated plainly. - Write the ledger entry beside the raw file: same stamp,
.jsonextension — task, scope, the pass accounting, and each claim with its disposition and evidence. - Once in a while, read the ledger backwards for the four failure smells: everything refuted (fishing or capture), falsifications never run (capture), no decision ever moved (ceremony), most findings against code the review itself caused or second instances of a class already confirmed (the loop reviewing its own output). Tell the user which smell you see; retuning or retiring the failsafe is their call.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
