# Weakness Classification

Classifies discovered weaknesses into severity tiers.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

## Why Subagent

Classification requires careful reasoning about impact scope and exploitability — dedicated context prevents bias from the discovery process.

## Input

- **raw_finding**: The weakness finding with context from discovery
- **artifact_context**: The original artifact being validated

## Output

- **severity**: `fatal` | `major` | `minor` | `cosmetic`
- **category**: type of weakness (logical, evidential, methodological, scope, assumption, implementation)
- **justification**: why this severity level
- **exploitability**: how easily this weakness could be exploited/triggered in practice

## Classification Scheme

- **fatal**: Invalidates the core claim — artifact cannot be used as-is
- **major**: Significantly undermines validity but not fatal — requires substantial revision
- **minor**: Weakens periphery — addressable without fundamental changes
- **cosmetic**: Presentation/clarity issue only — does not affect validity

## Budget

One unit = one classification. Called per finding.

## Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| spawn-agent | Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent. |
