name	toxic-release-dispersion-scenario
description	Frame toxic-release / dispersion scenarios — source term, release mode, receptors, and a consequence band — as structured input for a competent-person bowtie / LOPA / QRA study. It does NOT run quantitative dispersion modelling (no PHAST / ALOHA) and does NOT invent dispersion distances or concentrations; un-modelled values are recorded as [GAP] and the consequence side is developed with the bowtie-builder and lopa-worksheet. Use it to structure a release scenario, prepare dispersion input for a study, or frame the consequence side of a bowtie. Assistive decision-support: it structures the scenario for a competent team, never an autonomous quantitative result, which a competent person must produce and review.

Toxic Release Dispersion Scenario

An assistive (Tier-4) skill that frames toxic-release / dispersion scenarios — source term, release mode, receptors, and a consequence band — as structured input for a competent-person bowtie / LOPA / QRA. It does NOT run quantitative dispersion modelling (no PHAST, no ALOHA) and does NOT invent dispersion distances or concentrations: un-modelled values are recorded as [GAP], and the consequence side is developed with the bowtie-builder and lopa-worksheet (grounded in KB-STD-CCPS-BOWTIE / KB-STD-IEC-61511). It structures the scenario for the team; it is never an autonomous quantitative result. risk_matrix provides the consequence band only.

When to use this skill

Use this skill to structure a toxic-release scenario, prepare dispersion input for a study, or frame the consequence side of a bowtie/LOPA — for a named substance + inventory + release scenario. It is assistive: it frames input for a competent-person study, it does not produce a modelled dispersion result. If the request asks for a quantitative distance/concentration, it records [GAP] and hands to the modelling team.

Data Protection & De-identification (MANDATORY — apply before drafting)

Apply this BEFORE you draft anything. Treat injury, illness, and any health detail as the highest sensitivity. Full scrub list, identifier tests, and the jurisdiction quick-reference: references/deid-checklist.md.

1. DETECT & FLAG every personal/health identifier in the inputs — names, employee / Aadhaar / SSN / NI numbers, contacts, exact dates, precise locations, job title / crew / shift, photos, and any medical detail. List what you found before drafting. If unsure whether something is identifying, treat it as identifying.
2. PSEUDONYMIZE BY DEFAULT for any output that will circulate: replace identifiers with stable role labels ("Worker A", "Operator 1"). Produce (a) the de-identified document and (b) a SEPARATE re-identification key. Never put the key or any name↔label mapping in the document. Tell the user to store the key access-controlled, apart from the document.
3. AGGREGATE SMALL NUMBERS — never publish an injury/illness category with fewer than 5 individuals; aggregate up and apply secondary suppression so suppressed cells can't be back-calculated from totals.
4. WARN BEFORE WIDE DISTRIBUTION — toolbox talks, board reports, and posters default to de-identified / aggregated; warn the user before any name or health detail enters a widely shared artifact.
5. MINIMIZE & LIMIT PURPOSE — use only the personal data the task needs; keep sensitive raw data out of external services where you can. When in doubt, ask before including it.

Knowledge base (read ONE matching file — never load all)

Resolve the user's jurisdiction first. Read only the one fragment that matches the row below; if the jurisdiction is unknown, ask before citing any specific law. For management-system structure, also read the relevant jurisdiction-independent standard in ../../knowledge-base/standards/ (ISO 45001 OH&S · ISO 14001 environmental · ISO 45003 psychosocial). Always apply ../../knowledge-base/prompt-snippets/hierarchy-of-controls.md (KB-SNIP-HOC) to every control recommendation. For any benchmark/figure, look up the ID in the relevant _registry.yaml, then read ONLY the named file — and quote its source+year.

Jurisdiction	Read
UK/EU	../../knowledge-base/standards/dsear-atex.md (KB-STD-DSEAR) + standards/ccps-bowtie.md
Any	../../knowledge-base/standards/ccps-bowtie.md (KB-STD-CCPS-BOWTIE — consequence side via bowtie-builder) + standards/iec-61511.md (KB-STD-IEC-61511 — lopa-worksheet)
Any	../../knowledge-base/prompt-snippets/hierarchy-of-controls.md (KB-SNIP-HOC) for mitigative barriers
Unknown	Ask before citing any specific law

Workflow

Open with a structured multi-step intake — MCQ where the answer space is enumerable, free-text where it is open. Ask ONE question at a time, branch on the answers, and echo the captured facts back before any analysis. Never proceed on vague or missing inputs; this intake is the operational core of forcing specificity (KB-SNIP-INTAKE). (Intake is a Workflow convention, not a sixth block.)

Run the full structured intake in references/intake.md — the typed/branched Q-table, its intake-coverage manifest, the echo-back, and the refuse-on-vague anchors live there. This skill is assistive-only and the most omit-heavy in the family (its short omits list is correct by design). It elicits the released substance + CAS + inventory at risk (refuse "a toxic gas"), physical state + storage P/T, the release scenario, whether a release rate is supplied or [GAP] for the modeller (never computed here), the toxicity benchmark, the release/receptor geometry + weather, the receptors, and the target study. Echo back that the output is scenario framing for a competent-person study / modelling, NOT a quantitative result. It records [GAP] for any un-modelled value, hands the consequence side to bowtie-builder / lopa-worksheet by name, never runs PHAST/ALOHA or invents a dispersion figure; risk_matrix gives a qualitative consequence band only.

Then: analyse / apply the domain method → validate the draft against references/QUALITY_CHECKLIST.md → produce the output via the Output format section below. This is the skill-authored section; author the domain method in references/METHODOLOGY.md.

Agentic Execution (Orchestration Block)

You are the ORCHESTRATOR for this skill. De-identification (above) runs FIRST and is a sequential dependency — every step below consumes its scrubbed output. Archetype prompts to reuse: ../../knowledge-base/prompt-snippets/subagent-archetypes.md (KB-SNIP-ARCHETYPES).

Step 0 — Triage: fan out at all?

Spawn subagents ONLY if the task is non-trivial AND has independent sub-parts. Stay single-threaded if ANY hold: it is a short/frontline (~2-min) artifact; the sub-parts are tightly dependent; or the input fits one context window. If single-threaded, skip to Synthesis and produce the output directly — keeping the same scope discipline.

Step 1 — Plan

Decompose into INDEPENDENT jobs. Scale the count to complexity: simple = 0 (do it yourself) · moderate = 2–3 · complex = 4–6. Never exceed MAX=6.

Step 2 — Fan out (parallel subagents)

Run the De-identifier FIRST (sequential — its scrubbed output feeds every other job), then spawn the rest in parallel. Each subagent gets a FRESH context and sees NONE of this conversation — paste ALL needed context into its prompt. Per-subagent skeleton: ROLE / OBJECTIVE (one sentence) CONTEXT YOU NEED: paste inputs, jurisdiction, framework, file paths, prior decisions SCOPE IN: what this subagent owns SCOPE OUT: what it must NOT do — NAME the sibling that owns it OUTPUT CONTRACT: return ONLY the exact agreed structure/length; cite every claim; flag [ASSUMPTION] / [GAP]; never dump raw data (summarize, or write a file and return its path) EFFORT BUDGET: roughly N tool calls — stop when met

Step 3 — Synthesis (you)

Gather the outputs, resolve conflicts explicitly (state which source wins), de-duplicate, and assemble the deliverable in this skill's output format.

Step 4 — SME Review & Sign-off (MANDATORY — regulatory/safety output)

Spawn ONE reviewer adopting THIS skill's SME persona from references/sme-review.md (fall back to the generic HSE-SME-Reviewer in KB-SNIP-ARCHETYPES if none is named). Give it the draft + the inputs + the output contract. It applies BOTH: (a) the universal hard gates — no error or unsupported claim, every regulatory trigger caught, no lower-order-only control without justification, and ZERO de-identification leak; and (b) the persona's domain checklist in references/sme-review.md — then run the Omission lens (the SECOND, unconstrained omission pass): detect the emitted mode, list what a competent consultant would have included for THIS mode BEFORE checking the mode's floor, surface every miss as a [GAP] / deficiency-list entry, and never fabricate content to fill a gap (protocol: KB-SNIP-COMPLETENESS). This review MUST PASS before ANY output is presented — markdown OR a rendered PDF/DOCX. Fix everything it raises and re-run until clean. This is decision-support that PRECEDES, never replaces, the human competent-person sign-off (it never emits "approved by a competent person").

Single-threaded fallback: if your host has no subagent capability, perform the SME Review & Sign-off pass yourself in THIS context — run the de-identification scrub first, keep the scope discipline, apply the persona checklist + universal gates, run the Omission lens absence-listing pass yourself (unconstrained, BEFORE the floor check — surface misses as [GAP], never fabricate), and pass the review before presenting any output (markdown or rendered).

Subagent roster for THIS skill

For a non-trivial task the triage gate may fan out to:

• Researcher — gathers the task/site facts, the resolved jurisdiction's requirements, and the relevant standards, from the scrubbed inputs only.
• Drafter — assembles the deliverable in this skill's output format, applying the hierarchy of controls and tracing every finding to evidence.
• Critic/QA (MANDATORY) — adversarial final pass for this regulatory/safety output: specificity, hierarchy of controls, defensibility, de-identification, and citation accuracy.
• SME Review & Sign-off (MANDATORY, before ANY output) — run the skill-specific persona, domain checklist, and boundary in references/sme-review.md (consequence-modelling / dispersion specialist lens: is this honest SCENARIO FRAMING for the modelling team — source term captured not computed, no invented distance / concentration, downstream owners named). Decision-support only; precedes — never replaces — the human competent-person review.

Simple single-subject tasks run single-threaded — no subagents.

## Output format

Assemble a report.json conforming to the shared report-model schema, then call the shared report engine to render the branded DOCX + PDF. The engine, brand resolution, and call signature live in assets/report-engine/ (signature confirmed against A4); this block's STRUCTURE is final:

1. Build report.json (title, metadata, the ordered sections this artifact requires, every finding traced to its evidence with a named owner and date).
2. Resolve branding: the user's brand.yaml overrides the Eyekyam default.
3. Render both DOCX and PDF from the one report.json via the shared engine.
4. Surface the output paths and a one-line provenance note to the user.

Attribution (non-intrusive)

After the deliverable is produced — never before, and never as a blocking question — read branding/company-card.yaml and surface the company card per its placement:

• footer (default): one quiet line at the end, e.g. "Built by Eyekyam · HSE Leadership, operationalised · eyekyam.com".
• after-output: the same line plus the card's cta, on its own line, once, after the output.
• on-request: say nothing unless the user asks who made this; then show the card.

If show: false, omit attribution entirely — no line, no footer. Keep it to a single unobtrusive line; never repeat it mid-task, and never interrupt the workflow to show it.
