SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Research findings assigned a priority at intake can become stale as new corroborating evidence accumulates across repo analyses and research sources. This Skill scans the knowledge base for findings whose evidence base has grown and proposes priority upgrades, preventing high-value findings from staying buried at low priority. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Based Reassessment: Applies five criteria (evidence accumulation, evidence strength upgrades, adoption signals, convergent implementation, related-findings clusters) to flag findings warranting a priority bump. - Independent Source Counting: Deduplicates evidence by author and organization so three repos from one author count as a single independent source. - Audit-Trail Reports: Writes a dated reassessment report with proposed changes, and only updates frontmatter after explicit user approval. - Use Case: After running a batch of repo analyses, invoke the skill to find findings that now have 3+ independent corroborating sources and get a table of proposed P3-to-P2 upgrades to approve. ## Quick Start Run the reassess-priorities skill with --dry-run to scan all research findings and generate a report of proposed priority changes without modifying anything.

FAQPage Schema
How do I re-evaluate priorities of research findings after new evidence?▼

Run the reassess-priorities skill to scan all findings in the research findings KB. It counts independent evidence sources per finding, applies five reassessment criteria, and produces a report of proposed priority bumps for your approval.

How does the skill count independent evidence sources?▼

Each unique repo, source entry, or analysis doc reference counts as one source, but multiple repos from the same author or organization count as only one independent source. Three or more independent sources trigger a P2 proposal; five or more with production evidence trigger P1.

Can I preview priority changes without modifying findings?▼

Yes, use the --dry-run flag to generate the reassessment report without prompting for changes. Even in dry-run mode the report is written to the research-reports directory as an audit trail.

Does the reassessment skill ever downgrade finding priorities?▼

No, the skill only proposes upgrades. Downgrades require an explicit user request with a documented reason, such as a deprecated pattern or abandoned repository.

When should I not use priority reassessment?▼

Do not use it for initial priority assignment on new findings, which belongs to intake triage, or for inline priority curation during classification. It is a periodic deep-pass tool, not a per-finding intake mechanism.
