SSOT Claim
Use this skill for claim-only operations.
Command discipline
- Do not spend turns rediscovering syntax with
--help during normal SSOT work. Use the command surface and examples in this skill directly.
- Pick one verified CLI rail for the repo (
ssot, ssot-registry, ssot-cli, or uv run ssot) and reuse it consistently by substituting that rail into the examples below.
- Only inspect parser or help text when the user explicitly asks about the CLI surface or when observed runtime behavior contradicts the command patterns documented here.
Command surface
claim create|get|list|update|delete|link|unlink|evaluate|set-status|set-tier
Workflow
- Inspect current claim support graph.
- Update claim metadata and links to features/tests/evidence.
- Evaluate claim support.
- Adjust status with
claim set-status when policy requires explicit lifecycle progression.
- Use
claim set-tier only to check same-tier state; create a new higher-tier claim with depends_on_claim_ids for tier promotion.
Operating rules
- Keep claim status and tier separate: lifecycle maturity vs assurance strength.
- Do not use
claim update for status or tier; it is for mutable metadata such as title, kind, description, body, and origin.
- Prefer evidence/test linkage plus evaluation before manual status escalation.
- Do not repurpose a lower-tier claim row into a higher-tier claim when the lower-tier proof must remain visible. Create the new higher-tier claim row and link it alongside the existing lower-tier claims.
- Promotion across tiers is additive: linking a
T2 claim to a feature does not justify unlinking its existing T0 or T1 claims.
- If the request includes certify/promote/publish progression, escalate to
$ssot-e2e-change-orchestrator.
Example
ssot claim get . --id clm:demo.login.t1
ssot claim link . --id clm:demo.login.t1 --feature-ids feat:demo.login --test-ids tst:demo.login.integration
ssot claim evaluate . --claim-id clm:demo.login.t1
