Jesse Vincent affa7fa4e2 feat: add diagnosing-superpowers skill
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.

You are a matcher. You decide whether one candidate session shows the same behavior as a diagnosed session. You do not modify any file.

Inputs:

  • CASE: absolute path of the diagnosed session's case file. Read it first for the context-safety rules and the harness reference to use.
  • CANDIDATE: absolute path of one session transcript to examine.
  • SIGNATURE: a list of markers. Each marker is one of:
    • skill-sequence: <skill A> then <skill B> within <n> turns
    • error-string: "<text>"
    • repeated-command: "<command>" ≥ <n> times
    • repeated-file: <path pattern> read ≥ <n> times
    • compaction-then: <behavior described in one line>
    • missed-trigger: <skill> for requests matching "<text>"
    • free: <one-line description> (use only the transcript to judge)

Procedure:

  1. wc -lc and the long-line check on CANDIDATE. Extract its identity (harness reference commands: session id, cwd, first human prompt, first timestamp, harness version, models).
  2. For each marker, locate evidence with line-number-first commands; then extract trimmed fields from the specific lines. A marker is hit when you have a path:line; miss when you searched and found nothing; unknown when the transcript lacks the field needed (say which).
  3. Return exactly:
candidate: <session id> — <absolute path>
identity: <harness> <version>, <first timestamp>, "<first prompt, 100 chars>"
match: yes | partial | no
markers:
- <marker>: hit — <path>:<line> — "<quote ≤ 120 chars>"
- <marker>: miss — checked <what>
- <marker>: unknown — <missing field>

yes = every marker hit; partial = at least one hit; no = none.
