## What it does

The skill evaluates `.claude/memory/corrections.md`, `warnings-log.md`, and `cluster-instances.md`. It groups incidents by categories such as bias or security, balances agent-generated versus human-written origin, and contrasts generation source against who discovered the fault. When AI-generated mistakes are caught mostly by users, the priority shifts toward adding harness hooks rather than refining prompts.

Attribution numbers run through `scripts/check_correction_attribution.py`. This script determines escape metrics and records snapshots directly to `.claude/evals/metrics/corrections/<date>.json`. A 5 Whys analysis is applied whenever identical issues appear at least three times, pointing to prompt changes or system gates.

Operating this skill outside the Mycelium framework skips canvas state tracking, theory gates, and harness behaviors.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill corrections-audit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/corrections-audit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/corrections-audit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill corrections-audit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/corrections-audit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill corrections-audit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/corrections-audit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install haabe/mycelium corrections-audit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/corrections-audit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill corrections-audit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/haabe/mycelium --path plugins/mycelium/skills/corrections-audit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/corrections-audit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill corrections-audit -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/haabe/mycelium/tree/HEAD/plugins/mycelium/skills/corrections-audit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- audit correction history across memory logs
- detect harness coverage gaps where users catch agent mistakes
- graduate frequent failure modes into permanent guardrails

## Example prompts
- Audit corrections.md and highlight recurring patterns
- Calculate detection attribution metrics across recent corrections
- Check cluster logs and propose guardrail candidates

# Corrections Audit Skill

Analyze corrections.md for trends, recurring patterns, and actionable insights.


## Attribution: run the script, do not count by hand

```bash
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check_correction_attribution.py" --root . --snapshot
```

**Added 2026-08-03.** This audit's headline number — *who caught the mistake* —
was computed by hand and had been produced exactly twice, six weeks apart, each
time because a human remembered to look. It is the only number that answers the
question the correction loop exists to answer: **more harness, or more context.**

The script reports the escape rate **and its denominator, every time**. At the
time of writing 14 of 72 entries carry a catcher, so the rate covers 19% of the
corpus — quoting it without that is a claim about the whole wearing borrowed
clothes, which is the failure this repo spent 2026-08-02/03 removing from its own
checks. If it prints `NO RATE AVAILABLE`, that is not 0%: it means nothing in the
corpus says who caught anything.

`--snapshot` appends the reading to `.claude/evals/metrics/corrections/<date>.json`, the same layout the other metric adapters use. **The level is not the signal.** Trend `caught_by_hook_or_check` rising in absolute terms; the ratio can also be improved by logging fewer user-caught mistakes, which is why this script never gates on it.

**Attribution is a HARD RULE at write time**, not a suggestion — see `engine/agent-operating-contract.md`. It was advisory until 2026-08-03 and 72 of 100 entries carry no catcher as a result. Do not backfill those in bulk: who caught a mistake six weeks ago is not recoverable by inference, and a guessed catcher corrupts the only number this loop produces.

**For entries written before the rule, add one phrase per new entry** — `caught by user`,
`caught by hook`, `caught by review`, `self-caught`. The parser reads the prose
forms already present rather than requiring a new field, so nothing existing
needs rewriting.

## When to Use

- Loop 2 (Incremental) cadence: after every 3+ corrections are logged
- When the same correction category appears 3+ times
- During `/mycelium:diamond-assess` if corrections gate has findings
- Before starting a new diamond at the same scale as a previously corrected one
