Summary

Resubmission of PR #82 reliability features, adapted for v0.9.1 architecture.

New Files

  • ValidationGates.md - 3-gate quality validation system
  • ConfidenceScoring.md - 4-factor confidence algorithm
  • ResearchLogging.md - Structured execution logging

Updated Files

  • SKILL.md - Added routing for new reference files
  • workflows/Conduct.md - Added Step 4: Validate Research Quality

Key Features

  • Automated validation before research delivery
  • Transparent confidence scoring (0-100%)
  • Structured JSON logging for observability
  • Progressive disclosure pattern (loads on-demand)

Benefits

  • Improved research reliability through automated validation
  • Transparent confidence scoring users can verify
  • Enhanced observability for debugging and analytics
  • Follows progressive disclosure pattern (reference files loaded on-demand)

…ce scoring, structured logging

This PR implements research reliability features originally proposed in PR danielmiessler#82,
adapted for v0.9.1 architecture with TitleCase naming and ${PAI_DIR} variables.

## New Reference Files

### ValidationGates.md
- 3-gate validation system (Source, Confidence, Contradiction)
- Automated quality verification before final delivery
- Pass/warn/fail thresholds with clear criteria
- Integration guidance for all research modes

### ConfidenceScoring.md
- Transparent 4-factor confidence algorithm
- Weighted factors: Source Quality (30%), Source Count (25%),
  Agent Agreement (25%), Specificity (20%)
- Score interpretation bands (Very High to Very Low)
- Worked examples showing calculation

### ResearchLogging.md
- Structured JSON logging schema for research execution
- Integration with existing capture-all-events.ts hook
- Query examples for observability dashboard
- Privacy and security guidelines

## Updated Files

### SKILL.md
- Added workflow routing for validation, confidence, and logging
- Added Reference Files table documenting new files
- Updated workflow file references to TitleCase

### workflows/Conduct.md
- Added Step 4: Validate Research Quality
- Quick validation checklist for all research modes
- Confidence scoring summary with thresholds
- Validation output template for reports

## Benefits

- Improved research reliability through automated validation
- Transparent confidence scoring users can verify
- Enhanced observability for debugging and analytics
- Follows progressive disclosure pattern (reference files loaded on-demand)

## TAC Alignment

Implements TAC Tactic danielmiessler#5: Add Feedback - self-correcting systems that validate
their own work with transparent, algorithmic quality assessment.
