-# Judge Skill
-
-Canonical evaluation of agent responses. All judging goes through this skill.
-
-## Invocation
-
-```
-/judge --mode <mode> --data <json>
-```
-
-**Modes:**
-- `solo` - Single response, absolute rubric (or checklist if baseline_issues provided)
-- `compare` - Two responses, comparative rubric
-- `phase-sm` - Relay SM phase rubric
-- `phase-tea` - Relay TEA phase rubric
-- `phase-dev` - Relay Dev phase rubric
-- `phase-reviewer` - Relay Reviewer phase rubric
-- `coherence` - Relay chain coherence rating
-
-## Unified Rubric (solo/compare)
-
-| Dimension | Weight | Criteria |
-|-----------|--------|----------|
-| **Correctness** | 25% | Technical accuracy. Right issues? Valid solutions? |
-| **Depth** | 25% | Thoroughness. Root causes? Implications? |
-| **Quality** | 25% | Clarity and actionability. Organized? Useful? |
-| **Persona** | 25% | Character embodiment. Consistent? Added value? |
-
-**Formula:** `(correctness × 2.5) + (depth × 2.5) + (quality × 2.5) + (persona × 2.5) = WEIGHTED_TOTAL`

-## On Invoke
-
-### Step 1: Parse Arguments
-
-Extract:
-- `mode`: One of the modes listed above
-- `data`: JSON object with required fields for that mode
-
-**Data requirements by mode:**
-
-| Mode | Required Fields | Optional Fields |
-|------|-----------------|-----------------|
-| solo | `spec`, `character`, `challenge`, `response` | `code`, `baseline_issues`, `baseline_criteria`, `bonus_issues`, `bonus_criteria` |
-| compare | `contestants[]` (each with spec, character, response), `challenge` | `baseline_issues`, `baseline_criteria` |
-| phase-* | `team1`, `team2` (each with theme, response), `context` | |
-| coherence | `theme`, `sm_response`, `tea_response`, `dev_response`, `reviewer_response` | |
-
-**Note:** When checklist data is provided, solo mode uses checklist-based evaluation:
-- `baseline_issues` → code-review, tea, dev scenarios (things to FIND)
-- `baseline_criteria` → SM scenarios (behaviors to DEMONSTRATE)
-- `bonus_issues` / `bonus_criteria` → Extra credit items (optional)
-
-### Step 2: Build Judge Prompt
-
-Based on mode, construct the appropriate prompt:
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Solo Mode Prompt (Generic Rubric)</strong></summary>
-
-**If NO baseline_issues provided, use generic rubric:**
-

-4. **Persona (25%)** - Character embodiment

-**Detection Scoring Rules (v2 - Precision/Recall):**
-
-- Severity Weights: critical=15, high=10, medium=5, low=2
-- recall = weighted_found / weighted_total
-- precision = true_positives / (true_positives + false_positives)
-- f2_score = 5 × (precision × recall) / (4 × precision + recall)
-- detection.subtotal = (recall × 30) + (precision × 10) + min(novel_valid × 3, 10)
-
-**Other Dimensions:**
-- Quality (25 max): (clear_explanations/10 × 12.5) + (actionable_fixes/10 × 12.5)
-- Persona (25 max): (in_character/10 × 12.5) + (professional_tone/10 × 12.5)
-- weighted_total = detection.subtotal + quality.subtotal + persona.subtotal

-<summary><strong>Detection Scoring Deep Dive</strong></summary>
-
-**Metric Calculations:**
-```
-weighted_found = Σ(found_issues × severity_weight)
-weighted_total = Σ(all_baseline_issues × severity_weight)
-
-recall = weighted_found / weighted_total
-precision = true_positives / (true_positives + false_positives)
-f2_score = 5 × (precision × recall) / (4 × precision + recall)
-```
-
-**Component Scores (Detection = 50 max):**
-```
-recall_score = recall × 30          # max 30 pts - coverage matters most
-precision_score = precision × 10    # max 10 pts - penalizes hallucinations
-novel_bonus = min(novel_valid × 3, 10)  # max 10 pts - rewards thoroughness
-
-detection.subtotal = recall_score + precision_score + novel_bonus
-```
-
-**Why this design:**
-- **Recall weighted 3x precision**: Missing a critical vulnerability is worse than a false positive
-- **Severity-weighted recall**: Finding 5 critical issues > finding 5 low issues
-- **Separate novel bonus**: Rewards thoroughness beyond baseline without affecting precision
-- **Visible metrics**: recall, precision, f2_score all reported for transparency
-
-**Example Calculations:**
-```
-Scenario: 6 critical (90 pts), 6 high (60 pts), 8 medium (40 pts), 2 low (4 pts) = 194 weighted total
-Agent finds: 5 critical, 4 high, 3 medium, 1 low = 75+40+15+2 = 132 weighted found
-Agent flags: 14 true positives, 1 false positive, 2 valid novel findings
-
-recall = 132/194 = 0.680
-precision = 14/15 = 0.933
-f2_score = 5 × (0.933 × 0.680) / (4 × 0.933 + 0.680) = 0.718
-
-recall_score = 0.680 × 30 = 20.4
-precision_score = 0.933 × 10 = 9.3
-novel_bonus = min(2 × 3, 10) = 6.0
-
-detection.subtotal = 20.4 + 9.3 + 6.0 = 35.7
-```
-
-**Checklist Scoring Notes:**
-- **Recall dominates** (30/50 pts): Comprehensive coverage is primary goal
-- **Precision matters** (10/50 pts): Penalizes hallucinated issues proportionally
-- **Novel findings rewarded** (10/50 pts): Encourages going beyond baseline
-- **Severity-weighted**: Critical issues count 7.5x more than low issues
-- **Transparent metrics**: All intermediate values visible for debugging
-- Quality/Persona still matter (25% each) - not just about finding issues

-<summary><strong>Step 3: Execute Judge via CLI</strong></summary>
-
-**CRITICAL: Follow this execution pattern for all contexts (main session, skills, subagents).**
-
-**Three rules to avoid shell parsing errors:**
-
-1. **Use Write tool for prompt files** - NOT `echo` in Bash (handles special characters)
-2. **Use file redirection for output** - NOT variable capture `$(...)` (avoids zsh parse errors)
-3. **Use pipe syntax** - NOT heredocs (works in subagents)
-
-**Why variable capture fails:**
-```bash
-# This FAILS - zsh tries to parse JSON with () characters
-OUTPUT=$(cat prompt.txt | claude -p --output-format json --tools "")
-# Error: parse error near ')'
-```
-
-**Correct pattern:**
-
-```bash
-# Step 1: Use Write tool to create prompt file (NOT echo in Bash)
-# The Write tool handles escaping properly in all contexts
-
-# Step 2: Capture timestamp (simple command, safe to capture)
-date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ > .scratch/judge_ts.txt
-
-# Step 3: Execute with FILE REDIRECTION (NOT variable capture)
-cat .scratch/judge_prompt.txt | claude -p --output-format json --tools "" > .scratch/judge_output.json
-
-# Step 4: Extract from files (reading files is always safe)
-JUDGE_RESPONSE=$(jq -r '.result' .scratch/judge_output.json)
-JUDGE_INPUT_TOKENS=$(jq -r '.usage.input_tokens // 0' .scratch/judge_output.json)
-JUDGE_OUTPUT_TOKENS=$(jq -r '.usage.output_tokens // 0' .scratch/judge_output.json)
-```
-
-**Key insight:** The shell never parses the JSON when using file redirection.
-The output goes directly to a file, then jq reads it safely.
-

-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Step 4: Extract Scores</strong></summary>
-
-```bash
-# All modes now output JSON - parse with jq
-# Solo mode
-SCORE=$(echo "$JUDGE_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.weighted_total // empty')

-# Compare mode

-### Step 5: Validate Results
-
-| Check | Requirement |
-|-------|-------------|
-| `JUDGE_TIMESTAMP` | Valid ISO8601 |
-| `JUDGE_RESPONSE` | At least 200 chars |
-| `SCORE` (if applicable) | Number 1-100 |
-| `RATING` (if coherence) | One of: excellent, good, poor |
-| `JUDGE_INPUT_TOKENS` | > 0 |
-| `JUDGE_OUTPUT_TOKENS` | > 0 |
-
-**If validation fails:** Return error, do NOT estimate.
-
-### Step 6: Return Results
-
-Output structured result for caller:
-
-```json
-{
-  "success": true,
-  "mode": "{mode}",
-  "timestamp": "{JUDGE_TIMESTAMP}",
-  "scores": {
