| name | propose-section |
| description | Converts one candidate cluster from cluster-corpus-by-theme into a named, promised section proposal ready for writer review. Calls write-section-promise for the one-sentence promise. Rates fit confidence (high / medium / low / provisional) and flags borderline posts. Use once per cluster that passes ≥3-post threshold. Trigger keywords — propose section, section proposal, new section candidate. |
Propose Section
Workflow
Per qualifying cluster:
- [ ] Step 1: Name the cluster (working name from centroid codes)
- [ ] Step 2: Call write-section-promise for the one-sentence promise
- [ ] Step 3: Score each member post: tight | fair | borderline
- [ ] Step 4: Check non-overlap against existing section-map.md and other proposals this run
- [ ] Step 5: Assign fit_confidence:
- high: ≥5 tight-fit posts + strong cohesion + unambiguous non-overlap
- medium: 3-4 posts with mixed fit + narrowing promise
- low: borderline throughout; defer
- provisional: confident enough to name, uncertain enough to need probation
- [ ] Step 6: Write proposal block with reasons_to_reject (steelman the case against)
Output
proposal:
name: "{Human name}"
slug: {kebab-case}
promise: "{one sentence}"
fit_confidence: high | medium | low | provisional
supporting_posts: [{slug, fit}]
borderline_posts: [{slug, reason}]
non_overlap_check: "Distinct from {other section} because..."
reasons_to_reject: "Two of these posts also fit {other section}. If those migrate, cluster drops to 3 posts and becomes marginal."
Guardrails
- Never propose with <3 posts unless labeled PROVISIONAL + promise-testing plan.
- Never rename an existing section inside this skill — route through user-confirmation flow.
- Provisional sections require an explicit promotion test: "X more posts in Y weeks."
- Reasons-to-reject is mandatory — the Curator must pre-build a devil's advocate brief.
- Confidence is assigned from rules, not feel.
