Autodialectics Inspect
Use this skill to examine completed or in-progress pipeline runs and their artifacts.
Prerequisites
autodialectics-mcp must be on PATH (pip install autodialectics).
MCP Tools
inspect_run(run_id) — retrieve the run manifest: status, decision, scores, timing, and artifact paths.
read_artifact(run_id, artifact_name) — read a specific artifact by filename. Common artifacts:
contract.json — the immutable task contract
submission.json — the original task submission
execution_output.json — domain executor results
verification_result.json — independent verification output
evaluation.json — slop scores and gate decision
pre_mortem.json — failure predictions (if pre-mortem routing was enabled)
CLI Fallback
autodialectics inspect <run_id>
Guidance
- Start with
inspect_run to get the overview, then drill into specific artifacts with read_artifact.
- When summarizing a run, always include: run ID, domain, policy ID, decision, overall score, slop composite.
- If the run status is
running or starting, it may still be in progress — wait and re-inspect.
- Compare
verification_result against evaluation to understand whether the verifier and evaluator agree.
Arguments
If the user passes a run ID after /autodialectics:inspect, inspect that run and summarize the results.
