Triage

Triage

Verify a list of findings: fan out independent checkers, each judging whether a finding is real and worth acting on, and returning a per-finding verdict and a confidence. The caller decides what to do with them.

Instructions

Step 1 — Receive the inputs

The caller passes: the findings (each with an id and its claim) and the artifact path(s). If the findings or the artifact are missing, ask before proceeding.

Step 2 — Batch the findings and fan out

• Batch: 1–3 findings per checker, sized by complexity (more than 3 degrades independence and quality) — a finding needing deep ground-truth checking goes alone; simple or closely-related ones can share.
• Dispatch: one general-purpose subagent per batch, in parallel — cap ~6 concurrent and wave the rest.
• Each checker gets only: its finding(s), the artifact path(s), the return contract below, and the instruction not to fan out checkers of its own.

For each finding it holds, the checker reads the artifact fresh and:

• real? — is the finding correct, or a misread? Ground it in the artifact.
• material? — does it warrant the user's attention?
• maps the two axes to one verdict:
  • real AND material → consider
  • not real, or real but trivial → skip
  • can't be checked against the given artifact (claim rests on runtime behavior or files outside it) → skip with reason unverifiable
• returns: verdict, adjusted_confidence (0.00–1.00, the checker's fresh score), one-line reason — on a skip, say which: false positive, real-but-trivial, or unverifiable.

Step 3 — Return output conforming to the Output Schema below.

Collect the checkers' results verbatim — don't re-judge or override a verdict.

Rules

• Clean room. A checker didn't produce the finding it judges — don't pass it the panel's reasoning, prior score, or your expected verdict.
• Score from the read, don't re-rank by fiat. Verdict and confidence come from the checker's read, not the caller's preference.
• Bar-free. Judge consider/skip on the finding's own merits; the caller owns any confidence bar and applies it after.

Output Schema

TriageResult {
  verdicts: [
    {
      finding_id: string,
      verdict: "consider" | "skip",
      adjusted_confidence: number,   // 0.00–1.00, the checker's fresh score
      reason: string                 // one line; on skip: false positive, real-but-trivial, or unverifiable
    }
