Weakness Classification
Classifies discovered weaknesses into severity tiers.
Execution
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.
Why Subagent
Classification requires careful reasoning about impact scope and exploitability — dedicated context prevents bias from the discovery process.
Input
- raw_finding: The weakness finding with context from discovery
- artifact_context: The original artifact being validated
Output
- severity:
fatal | major | minor | cosmetic
- category: type of weakness (logical, evidential, methodological, scope, assumption, implementation)
- justification: why this severity level
- exploitability: how easily this weakness could be exploited/triggered in practice
Classification Scheme
- fatal: Invalidates the core claim — artifact cannot be used as-is
- major: Significantly undermines validity but not fatal — requires substantial revision
- minor: Weakens periphery — addressable without fundamental changes
- cosmetic: Presentation/clarity issue only — does not affect validity
Budget
One unit = one classification. Called per finding.
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| spawn-agent | Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent. |
