description	Build and operate the "Engineering Uncertainty Communicator" capability for Software Engineering Automation. Trigger when this exact capability is needed in mission execution.

Engineering Uncertainty Communicator

Why This Skill Exists

We need this skill because delivery speed must increase without sacrificing correctness. This specific skill prevents overstatement by explicitly framing uncertainty.

When To Use

Use this skill when the request explicitly needs "Engineering Uncertainty Communicator" outcomes in the Software Engineering Automation domain.

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

1. Define the scope and success metrics for Engineering Uncertainty Communicator, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to regressions and brittle release pipelines.
2. Design and version the input/output contract for code changes, tests, incidents, and rollout data, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
3. Implement the core capability using confidence-bound communication templates, and produce uncertainty briefs with deterministic scoring.
4. Integrate the skill into swarm orchestration: task routing, approval gates, retry strategy, and rollback controls.
5. Add unit, integration, and simulation tests that explicitly cover regressions and brittle release pipelines, then run regression baselines.
6. Deploy behind a feature flag, monitor telemetry/alerts for two release cycles, and iterate thresholds based on observed outcomes.

Required Deliverables

• Capability contract: input schema, deterministic scoring, output schema, and failure modes.
• Runtime profile: communication-engine using confidence-bound communication templates to produce uncertainty briefs.
• Orchestration integration: software-engineering-automation:communication-engine routing, approval gates, retries, and rollback controls.
• Validation evidence: unit, integration, simulation, regression-baseline suites and rollout telemetry.

Operational Runbook

Preflight

• Confirm the Engineering Uncertainty Communicator request scope, source evidence, and measurable success criteria before execution.
• Verify feature flag skill_0545_engineering-uncertainty-communic, approval gates, and rollback owner before autonomous use.

Execution

• Execute confidence-bound communication templates with deterministic scoring and reproducible trace capture.
• Produce uncertainty briefs plus scorecard, assumptions, and unresolved-risk notes.

Recovery

• Fail closed when required signals, evidence, or approval gates are missing.
• Rollback to the last stable baseline when posture is critical or validation fails.

Handoff

• Publish uncertainty briefs, validation evidence, and telemetry links to downstream owners.
• Queue follow-up tasks for unresolved risks, threshold tuning, or approval review.

Guardrails

• [quality] Require deterministic scoring and validation evidence before promotion.
• [reliability] Preserve retries, rollback controls, and failure-mode evidence for every run.
• [safety] Route critical posture or missing approval gates to human review before autonomous action.
