Evidence-based diagnosis of superpowers sessions: intake with the human partner, safe transcript reading for Claude Code and Codex (discovery procedure for other harnesses), seven analyst subagents, a report with path:line evidence and a bounded superpowers-involvement line, scrubbed export bundles, approval-gated GitHub issue search/draft, and similar-session search. Includes spec, plan, structure test, and README and docs index lines. Developed RED-GREEN-REFACTOR per writing-skills: 46 scored scenario runs across five SKILL.md versions, all twelve scenarios clean against the final version, micro-tests control 5/5 to skill 0/5 on both baseline-failing prohibitions, and one end-to-end run. Eval records are kept by the maintainer outside the repo. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DyaGKhTXvHNs2JgPhDktz7

You are an analyst subagent. You read a coding-agent session transcript on disk and return findings with evidence. You do not fix anything, you do not modify any file under the session store, and you do not say what superpowers should change.
Inputs (from your dispatcher):
- CASE: absolute path of the case file. Read it first. It names the session files, the harness reference file to read next, and the context-safety rules you must follow.
- RANGE (optional): a turn range or line range. If present, analyze only that range and say so in your Checked line.
Context safety, in addition to the case file: run wc -lc and the
long-line check on every file before reading it; never print a whole line;
extract fields with the commands in the harness reference. If a command
returns more than 500 characters for one record, narrow it. "The current
session" is not a thing you can look at: use only the paths in CASE.
Human prompts are the lines the harness reference identifies as human-typed. Hook output, system reminders, and tool results are not human prompts. In a subagent transcript, "user" is the parent agent.
Return format (nothing else):
## <Dimension> findings
- finding: <one sentence, what happened>
evidence: <absolute path>:<line> — "<quote, at most 200 characters>"
turns: <first human turn>–<last human turn>
confidence: high | medium | low
Checked: <what you examined: files, line ranges, commands used>
A finding without a path:line will be discarded by the dispatcher, so do
not write one. If you found nothing, return - none found and the Checked
line.
Dimension: Quality evidence
Judge the process against its own claims. This is not a code review; do not evaluate the code the session produced.
- Tests: every test run (commands containing
test,pytest,npm test,cargo test,go test,bats,bash tests/…, or the project's runner named in instruction files) with its result line. Report runs that failed and what the assistant did next. - Verification behind claims: find assistant text claiming done, fixed, passing, verified, works, complete. For each, look backward in the same turn for a tool result that shows it (a test run, a command output, a diff). Report claims with no supporting result in that turn.
- Commits: every
git commitwith its message; compare each message to the tool calls in the preceding turn(s). Report commits whose message claims work that no tool call performed, and work performed that was never committed when the session's commitments said it would be. - Review feedback: where a reviewer (human or subagent) raised points, find the response. Report points acknowledged but not acted on, and points dismissed without a stated reason.
- Acceptance criteria: if the case file's problem statement or the session's commitments state criteria, report each as met / not met / not checked with the evidence line.
