| description | Build and operate the "Collab Cost-Benefit Forecaster" capability for Collaboration and Negotiation. Trigger when this exact capability is needed in mission execution. |
Collab Cost-Benefit Forecaster
Why This Skill Exists
We need this skill because multi-agent systems underperform without explicit conflict resolution. This specific skill prioritizes actions with the strongest net value.
When To Use
Use this skill when the request explicitly needs "Collab Cost-Benefit Forecaster" outcomes in the Collaboration and Negotiation domain.
Step-by-Step Implementation Guide
- Define the scope and success metrics for
Collab Cost-Benefit Forecaster, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to deadlocks and degraded trust.
- Design and version the input/output contract for proposals, contention signals, and negotiated outcomes, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
- Implement the core capability using cost-impact simulation, and produce forecasted ROI scenarios 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 deadlocks and degraded trust, 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: simulation-lab using cost-impact simulation to produce forecasted ROI scenarios.
- Orchestration integration: collaboration-and-negotiation:simulation-lab routing, approval gates, retries, and rollback controls.
- Validation evidence: unit, integration, simulation, regression-baseline suites and rollout telemetry.
Operational Runbook
Preflight
- Confirm the Collab Cost-Benefit Forecaster request scope, source evidence, and measurable success criteria before execution.
- Verify feature flag skill_0273_collab-cost-benefit-forecaster, approval gates, and rollback owner before autonomous use.
Execution
- Execute cost-impact simulation with deterministic scoring and reproducible trace capture.
- Produce forecasted ROI scenarios 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 forecasted ROI scenarios, 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.
