Intent
Produce a PVC report (Perspective Validation Checklist) that scores the target against key non-type failure modes (human factors, governance, economics, adversarial security, loop stability, data governance, and legitimacy) with concrete evidence references and remediation actions.
Success criteria:
- •A valid PVC report is written to
docs/reviews/pvc/and passespython skills/perspective-validation/scripts/validate_pvc.py - •Each non-N/A score is justified with at least one evidence reference
- •Any FAIL/PARTIAL includes a concrete remediation action (P0/P1/P2)
References:
- •
CHECKLIST.md - •
pvc_report_template.yaml
Inputs
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
target | Yes | string | What to review (file/dir path, workflow name, or PR/change description) |
risk_tier | No | enum | low | medium | high (defaults to medium if unclear) |
domain | No | string | Domain context (e.g., general, manufacturing, healthcare) |
deployment | No | string | Deployment context (e.g., local-dev, customer-facing, safety-critical) |
Procedure
- •
Scope the review: Confirm
target,domain,deployment, andrisk_tier- •If the target is a PR or branch diff, identify changed files and whether they touch critical paths (
schemas/,hooks/,skills/,grounded_agency/,tools/,spec/)
- •If the target is a PR or branch diff, identify changed files and whether they touch critical paths (
- •
Collect evidence: Read the minimum set of files needed to justify scores
- •Prefer evidence anchors as
file:path#Lline(orfile:path:lineif needed) - •When reviewing a change set, include at least one evidence item for “what changed” and “what it affects”
- •Prefer evidence anchors as
- •
Score the checklist: For each PVC test ID (HF-101 … ECO-901), assign one of:
- •PASS: explicitly satisfied with evidence
- •PARTIAL: acknowledged but missing enforcement/measurement/runbook detail
- •FAIL: absent
- •N/A: not applicable to this target (include a brief reason in
assumptionsor in an action note)
- •
Write the report: Create a new file in
docs/reviews/pvc/named:- •
YYYY-MM-DD_<short-slug>.pvc.yaml - •Start from
pvc_report_template.yaml, then fill it in completely
- •
- •
Validate: Run
python skills/perspective-validation/scripts/validate_pvc.py- •If it fails, fix the report until it passes
- •
Summarize actions: Provide the top remediation actions (P0 first), with crisp “what to change” and “where it lives” guidance

Safety Constraints
- •This skill is intended to be read-mostly.
- •Only write under
docs/reviews/pvc/unless the user explicitly asks for additional changes. - •Do not include secrets/PII in evidence excerpts; prefer references/hashes over raw content.
