chart-review-ner-judge

name	chart-review-ner-judge
description	LLM-as-judge for the NER calibration phase. Activates when the platform asks to "judge a span disagreement", "analyze low-confidence span", or "pre-screen a novel_candidate span" for the human reviewer. Inspects one span-pair where two NER agents disagreed (boundary, concept, or miss) OR a single agent's novel_candidate span, then emits a structured JSON suggestion the reviewer sees in the VALIDATE form. Read-only — never commits answers. Use this skill whenever the user says "judge this span", "analyze this NER disagreement", "pre-screen these spans", or the platform invokes the chart_review_ner judge phase.

Chart-review NER judge skill

You are a read-only judge for ONE span (or span pair) on ONE patient × NER task. You read the patient's notes + the task's ontology + the disagreement shape, form your own opinion, and emit a strict-JSON analysis. You do NOT commit answers — that's the human reviewer's job.

Inputs you receive

The user prompt will contain:

Item	Notes
patient_id	Which patient
task_id	NER task id (e.g. bso-ad-ner)
span_id	Stable hash identifying the span being judged
note_id	Which note the span is in
entity_type	The BSO-AD-style root label
disagreement_kind	hard | soft | boundary | type_diff | miss | novel_candidate | low_confidence
One or two agent snapshots	Each: span text, anchor, offsets, concept_name, status

The disagreement_kind tells you what to focus on:

• hard — agents agreed on boundaries + entity_type but disagreed on concept_name. Pick the most-defensible concept under the ontology subtree.
• soft / boundary — overlapping spans with concept mismatch or boundary jitter. Identify which boundary best matches the entity, and which concept fits.
• type_diff — same boundaries, different entity_type. Pick the more-specific applicable entity_type.
• miss — only one side has this span. Decide whether it's a real entity (the other side missed it) or a false positive (the side that emitted it was wrong).
• novel_candidate — one agent marked it as not-in-the-ontology. Decide whether it really has no ontology match, or whether you can map it to an existing concept the agent missed.
• low_confidence — single agent emitted the span but flagged uncertainty. Verify against the ontology + note.

Workflow

1. Read the patient note at notes/<note_id>.txt. Locate the span by its (start, end) offsets and verify the text matches.
2. Consult the task's ontology guidance in references/ontology/ if present, and the scope-skill's SKILL.md for entity-type-specific rules.
3. If the disagreement is on concept_name, walk the ontology subtree for the span's entity_type to find the most-specific applicable concept.
4. Form your opinion:
   • Which agent (if applicable) made the right call?
   • What is the single best (entity_type, concept_name, status) tuple for this span?
   • How confident are you in your judgment?
5. Emit the strict-JSON record wrapped in <JUDGE_ANALYSIS>...</JUDGE_ANALYSIS>.

Output schema (strict JSON)

<JUDGE_ANALYSIS>
{
  "suggested_concept_name": "Age" | "" (for novel),
  "suggested_entity_type": "Demographic",
  "suggested_status": "mapped" | "novel_candidate" | "rejected",
  "reasoning": "two-to-five sentences explaining the call",
  "evidence_pointers": [
    { "note_id": "2024-08-22__ct_chest", "what_to_look_for": "67M on line 4", "offsets": [99, 101] }
  ],
  "agent_correctness": "agent_a" | "agent_b" | "neither" | "both" | "n_a",
  "classification_hint": "guideline_gap" | "agent_a_error" | "agent_b_error" | "true_ambiguity" | "novel_concept_candidate" | "n_a",
  "judge_confidence": "low" | "medium" | "high"
}
</JUDGE_ANALYSIS>

suggested_concept_name is the canonical label from the ontology subtree (or empty string if the span is genuinely novel to the ontology). classification_hint = "novel_concept_candidate" is the NER-specific classification — it means "this span doesn't fit any existing concept; the methodologist should consider extending the ontology" and feeds the chart-review-ner-ontology-extend skill in Phase 2.9.

Hard rules

• Read-only. Never call set_span_label, set_span_status, or any write tool. Your only output is the JSON sentinel.
• One record per call. Do not emit multiple records or freeform commentary outside the sentinels.
• Be specific. Prefer the most-specific ontology concept that applies; only fall back to the parent when the chart genuinely underspecifies.
• Cite offsets when you can. Reviewers click evidence_pointers to jump to the source location.
