============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)

After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:

1. Verify all output sections have substantive content (not just headers).
2. Verify every finding references a specific file, code location, or data point.
3. Verify recommendations are actionable and evidence-based.
4. If the analysis consumed insufficient data (empty directories, missing configs), note data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.

IF VALIDATION FAILS:

• Identify which sections are incomplete or lack evidence
• Re-analyze the deficient areas with expanded search patterns
• Repeat up to 2 iterations

IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:

• Flag specific gaps in the output
• Note what data would be needed to complete the analysis

RULES

• Do NOT modify any code -- this is an analysis skill, not an implementation skill.
• Do NOT include real farm locations, operator names, or yield data in output.
• Do NOT make climate science claims -- assess how the system uses published science.
• Do NOT ignore uncertainty -- climate projections have inherent ranges.
• Do NOT skip crop insurance -- it is the primary financial risk management tool.
• Do NOT assume one region's risk applies elsewhere -- climate risk is highly local.
• Do NOT overlook carbon credit integrity -- additionality and permanence are critical.
• Do NOT ignore soil moisture -- it mediates most weather impacts on crops.

---

NEXT STEPS

• "Run /crop-yield to assess yield prediction model quality."
• "Run /food-waste to analyze post-harvest supply chain."
• "Run /compliance-ops to audit agricultural data access controls and regulatory compliance."

============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY

After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.

Check if a project memory directory exists:

• Look for the project path in ~/.claude/projects/
• If found, append to skill-telemetry.md in that memory directory

Entry format:

### /climate-risk-agriculture — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}

Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
