EtanHey Skill: False-Green Kill-Gate (gen-18 Track 2 — the gen-17 north star)
Fleet law: canon #4 owns "done = user-visible". This skill is the mechanical same-turn live-outcome probe gate.
Scope
The probe must be a same-turn live-outcome probe.
What It Is
A deterministic detector over an agent transcript: a completion claim is FALSE-GREEN unless the same
turn carries the live-outcome probe its claim domain requires. This is the MECHANICAL gate that
/deploy-verify and /never-fabricate describe in prose — "manual gates drift, automated gates don't."
The pinned RED/GREEN transcript fixtures ARE the replayable gate (R-003/R-014 pattern, consumed in the
T6 deterministic-CU smoke-spec shape).
The Rule — required same-turn probe by claim domain
| Claim domain | Required live probe (same turn) | Violation if missing |
|---|---|---|
| render / audio / mp3 | ffprobe proving size>0 AND duration>0 on the claimed path |
FALSE_GREEN_FFPROBE |
| …cloned / 2-voice render | --reference resolves to a registered clone (theo-c4/ben-c1), no system-TTS fallback |
FALSE_GREEN_VOICE |
| dashboard / UI / site | HTTP 200 on the served URL | FALSE_GREEN_DASHBOARD_200 |
| AND a signed-in click-through (200 alone is not enough) | FALSE_GREEN_CLICK_THROUGH |
|
| deploy / merged / installed | build-stamp that POST-DATES the merge | FALSE_GREEN_STAMP |
| AND a live round-trip (pgrep/launchctl/health 200) | FALSE_GREEN_LIVE_PROBE |
|
| build / contract | the operational entrypoint exercised (wrapper dry-run / contract test) | FALSE_GREEN_LIVE_PROBE |
| generic "done" | at least one live round-trip | FALSE_GREEN_LIVE_PROBE |
| "rigorously verified manually" + no probe | — (ranked last, false-green-permitting) | MANUAL_SUBSTITUTE |
"Same turn" = the events since the last human message — the probe tool calls and their results the agent ran before the claim. Negated/in-progress statements ("not done yet") are not claims.
How /pr-loop Consumes It
/pr-loop already states the Deploy Truth Gate (merged ≠ serving) and Post-Merge Verification in
prose. This gate makes it mechanical: before a worker/lead emits TASK_DONE or a "done/deployed/green/
render-complete" message, run the gate on the turn — /false-green-gate
(bun skills/golem-powers/false-green-gate/scripts/false-green-gate-cli.mjs <transcript|->, exit 3 = FLAG).
A FLAG means the claim is not yet earned: run the missing probe, then claim. Compose with /deploy-verify
(the four-step deploy sequence) and /never-fabricate (read the output before reporting).
Run It
bun test skills/golem-powers/false-green-gate/evals/false-green-gate.test.mjs # replay (CI-safe)
python3 skills/golem-powers/false-green-gate/evals/run_suite.py # hook stdout-schema suite
bun skills/golem-powers/false-green-gate/scripts/false-green-gate-cli.mjs <transcript.jsonl|->
Programmatic: import { detectFalseGreen } from "./src/false-green-gate.mjs" → { verdict, claim, domains, violations }.
Stated Limits (honesty rule)
- Evidence is marker-anchored over the same-turn blob; a probe described but not actually run can read as present. The fixtures pin the known specimens; new evasion shapes are added as RED fixtures (R-003 model).
- "Same turn" is bounded by the last human message; a probe run two turns earlier does not count (by design — the false-green class is precisely a stale or absent same-turn probe).
- TODO(P2): Evidence-in-dashboard decision-answering claims belong in qa-verdict/render-done gates, not this generic false-green gate.
