U0001 Epistemic Signal Ingestion Normalizer

Epistemic Signal Ingestion Normalizer

Why This Skill Exists

We need this skill because decisions drift when claims are accepted without verification. This specific skill stabilizes noisy upstream inputs before they contaminate planning.

When To Use

Use this skill when the request explicitly needs "Epistemic Signal Ingestion Normalizer" outcomes in the Truth-Seeking and Epistemics domain.

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

1. Define the scope and success metrics for Epistemic Signal Ingestion Normalizer, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to false certainty and unverified assumptions.
2. Design and version the input/output contract for claims, evidence, and confidence traces, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
3. Implement the core capability using schema mapping and validation, and produce normalized signal feeds with deterministic scoring.
4. Integrate the skill into swarm orchestration: task routing, approval gates, retry strategy, and rollback controls.
5. Add unit, integration, and simulation tests that explicitly cover false certainty and unverified assumptions, then run regression baselines.
6. 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: normalization-engine using schema mapping and validation to produce normalized signal feeds.
• Orchestration integration: truth-seeking-and-epistemics:normalization-engine routing, approval gates, retries, and rollback controls.
• Validation evidence: unit, integration, simulation, regression-baseline suites and rollout telemetry.

Operational Runbook

Preflight

• Confirm the Epistemic Signal Ingestion Normalizer request scope, source evidence, and measurable success criteria before execution.
• Verify feature flag skill_0001_epistemic-signal-ingestion-norma, approval gates, and rollback owner before autonomous use.

Execution

• Execute schema mapping and validation with deterministic scoring and reproducible trace capture.
• Produce normalized signal feeds 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 normalized signal feeds, 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.
