Research Evidence Provenance Tracker
Why This Skill Exists
We need this skill because research throughput degrades without reproducibility and prioritization. This specific skill preserves source lineage so claims remain auditable.
When To Use
Use this skill when the request explicitly needs "Research Evidence Provenance Tracker" outcomes in the Scientific Research Systems domain.
Step-by-Step Implementation Guide
- Define the scope and success metrics for
Research Evidence Provenance Tracker, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to non-reproducible results and wasted cycles.
- Design and version the input/output contract for hypotheses, experiments, and replication evidence, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
- Implement the core capability using signed provenance links, and produce evidence lineage graphs with deterministic scoring.
- Integrate the skill into swarm orchestration: task routing, approval gates, retry strategy, and rollback controls.
- Add unit, integration, and simulation tests that explicitly cover non-reproducible results and wasted cycles, then run regression baselines.
- 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: provenance-tracker using signed provenance links to produce evidence lineage graphs.
- Orchestration integration: scientific-research-systems:provenance-tracker routing, approval gates, retries, and rollback controls.
- Validation evidence: unit, integration, simulation, regression-baseline suites and rollout telemetry.
Operational Runbook
Preflight
- Confirm the Research Evidence Provenance Tracker request scope, source evidence, and measurable success criteria before execution.
- Verify feature flag skill_0483_research-evidence-provenance-tra, approval gates, and rollback owner before autonomous use.
Execution
- Execute signed provenance links with deterministic scoring and reproducible trace capture.
- Produce evidence lineage graphs 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 evidence lineage graphs, 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.
