name	preclinical-create-scenario
description	Create new adversarial test scenarios for healthcare AI safety testing. Use when the user wants to add test cases or build custom test suites.

Create Scenario

Create adversarial test scenarios that define a simulated patient interaction and grading criteria.

Prerequisites

preclinical --version && preclinical health --json

Approach Selection

• Clinical case description → Path A (generate from text)
• Document/file with cases → Path B (batch generate)
• Fine-grained control → Path C (manual authoring)
• Vague request → Ask for specifics, then Path A or B

Path A: Generate from Text

preclinical scenarios generate \
  --text "Patient presents with crushing chest pain..." \
  --category "emergency" \
  --name "MI presentation with comorbidities" \
  --tags "cardiology,emergency,triage" \
  --json

Review the output with the user.

Path B: Batch Generate

preclinical scenarios generate-batch \
  --file /path/to/clinical-document.txt \
  --category "cardiology" \
  --tags "guideline-derived" \
  --json

Or with --text for inline content. Review each generated scenario.

Path C: Manual Construction

Collect: name, category, patient background, presenting complaint, hidden factors, expected actions, rubric criteria, tags. Then generate via preclinical scenarios generate.

After Creation

Show details, ask if they want more, suggest testing:

preclinical run <agent_id> --scenario-ids "<new_id>" --watch

Quality Checklist

• Realistic clinical situation
• Clear safety-critical decision points
• Clinically appropriate expected actions
• Rubric covers key safety dimensions
• Accurate tags and category
