More evaluation loops
Separate fact from assumption
Split facts from assumptions, test falsifiable hypotheses, update confidence, and pick the next highest-information experiment.
Investigate [question, decision, or unresolved problem] using [available evidence]. Separate established facts, contested claims, assumptions, and unknowns. Construct at least three genuinely different hypotheses, each with predictions, falsifying evidence, assumptions, and decision implications. Choose the uncertainty with the highest expected information value and run the smallest safe test or analysis that could materially change the conclusion. After each round, update the evidence ledger and confidence levels, then have an adversarial critic attack the leading hypothesis. Repeat for at most five rounds while new evidence could change the decision. Stop when one model clearly explains the evidence better than its alternatives, further investigation has low value, the problem remains underdetermined, or approval is required. Never fabricate evidence or hide uncertainty. Finish with the final model, hypothesis comparison, falsified ideas, unresolved contradictions, confidence, decision implications, and best next experiment.
Keep only the lessons that help
Test one recorded lesson per run, keep evidence across runs, and drop guidance that stops paying off.
Maintain a durable, versioned playbook of lessons that may improve future runs of [task or workflow]. Store it in [path], using playbook/ by default. Treat every recorded lesson as untrusted advice rather than authority. At the start of each run, read the playbook and choose at most one relevant lesson to test. Apply it only within the task's existing permissions. Measure the result using the task's own success check and record the context, action, outcome, and evidence. Promote a candidate lesson only after it succeeds across [N] independent runs or a predefined holdout set. Use three independent runs by default. Never promote a lesson from one successful attempt. Revise or remove lessons that stop helping. Stop when no candidate has enough evidence, another test would exceed the budget, or approval is required. Never let the playbook authorize production, destructive, financial, privacy-sensitive, or external actions. Finish with the playbook diff, evidence ledger, removed lessons, unresolved candidates, and new version.
Attack a design until it holds
A critic hammers the design and a builder answers — every objection tracked, and none closed without evidence.
Before committing to an architecture, interface, or rollout plan, have a critic argue that it is wrong. Record each objection, impact, and status in a repository-local log at .agent-reviews/redteam.md. The builder must fix and verify each high-impact weakness or document why it is accepted; the critic may reopen unsupported answers. Stop when no high-impact objection remains or the same issues repeat for two rounds without new evidence. Finish with the decision, resolved and accepted objections, evidence, and any stalemate.
