STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Purpose

• Provide a hub for research testing skills (code review, functionality audit, verification, style audit, theater detection).
• Enforce constraint hygiene, quality gates, and explicit confidence ceilings on test results.
• Maintain structure-first documentation for all sub-skills.

Trigger Conditions

• Positive: any request to validate research code, results, or quality using the contained sub-skills.
• Negative: non-research production testing (route to quality/operations categories).

Guardrails

• Capture HARD / SOFT / INFERRED testing constraints (coverage targets, latency, risk tolerance, compliance).
• Two-pass refinement: choose appropriate sub-skill(s) → validate findings with evidence and ceilings.
• Route tasks to sub-skills: code-review-assistant, functionality-audit, verification-quality, style-audit, theater-detection.

Inputs

• Artifact to test (code, models, data, results) and context.
• Constraints and success criteria; environment details if applicable.

Workflow

1. Scope & Route: Record constraints and select relevant sub-skills; confirm INFERRED risks.
2. Plan Checks: Define coverage, tools, and expected outputs per sub-skill.
3. Execute Tests: Run selected skills, gather evidence, and log configurations.
4. Validate & Synthesize: Aggregate findings, mark severity, and apply confidence ceilings.
5. Deliver & Store: Provide consolidated report and next actions; update references/examples.

Validation & Quality Gates

• Sub-skill selection justified and constraints mapped.
• Evidence attached to findings; ceilings aligned to evidence type.
• Recommendations include remediation steps and owners.

Response Template

**Scope & Constraints**
- HARD / SOFT / INFERRED.

**Selected Checks**
- Sub-skill → rationale.

**Findings**
- Issue → evidence → severity → confidence ceiling.

**Actions**
- Remediation + owner + due date.

Confidence: 0.81 (ceiling: inference 0.70) - based on executed checks and evidence.

Confidence: 0.81 (ceiling: inference 0.70) - reflects validated testing coverage and findings.
