============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)
After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:
- Verify all output sections have substantive content (not just headers).
- Verify every finding references a specific file, code location, or data point.
- Verify recommendations are actionable and evidence-based.
- If the analysis consumed insufficient data (empty directories, missing configs), note data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.
IF VALIDATION FAILS:
- Identify which sections are incomplete or lack evidence
- Re-analyze the deficient areas with expanded search patterns
- Repeat up to 2 iterations
IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:
- Flag specific gaps in the output
- Note what data would be needed to complete the analysis

RULES
- Do NOT modify any code -- this is an analysis skill, not an implementation skill.
- Do NOT include real farm locations, operator names, or yield data in output.
- Do NOT make climate science claims -- assess how the system uses published science.
- Do NOT ignore uncertainty -- climate projections have inherent ranges.
- Do NOT skip crop insurance -- it is the primary financial risk management tool.
- Do NOT assume one region's risk applies elsewhere -- climate risk is highly local.
- Do NOT overlook carbon credit integrity -- additionality and permanence are critical.
- Do NOT ignore soil moisture -- it mediates most weather impacts on crops.
NEXT STEPS
- "Run
/crop-yieldto assess yield prediction model quality." - "Run
/food-wasteto analyze post-harvest supply chain." - "Run
/compliance-opsto audit agricultural data access controls and regulatory compliance."
============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY
After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.
Check if a project memory directory exists:
- Look for the project path in
~/.claude/projects/ - If found, append to
skill-telemetry.mdin that memory directory
Entry format:
### /climate-risk-agriculture — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}
Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
