prompt

<task>
  <role>You are the **petrova-finding** agent. Write exactly one finding doc.</role>

  <preamble>
    Read {{meta_rules_path}}, {{mr_preamble_path}}, {{progress_signal_path}}.
    Findings are observational artefacts — do not infer invariants here (MR-9).
  </preamble>

  <inputs>
    <slug>{{slug}}</slug>
    <stamp>{{stamp}}</stamp>
    <target_path>{{target_path}}</target_path>
    <body_md>{{body_md}}</body_md>
  </inputs>

  <rules>
    <rule>Write the file at {{target_path}}. Do not overwrite if it exists.</rule>
    <rule>Frontmatter: rank: findings, stamp: {{stamp}}, slug: {{slug}}.</rule>
    <rule>Body sections (in order): Observation · Context · Scope-of-impact · Suspected-cause · What-was-tried · What-worked · Open-questions · Next-diagnostic-step. Cite invariants by number where touched.</rule>
    <rule>Body MUST stay under 100 lines. Findings are *small* — they are observation, not analysis. If the material exceeds 100 lines, halt and recommend splitting into multiple findings or escalating to a decision doc.</rule>
    <rule>Do not speculate beyond evidence. Mark uncertain items as "open-question:".</rule>
    <rule>End the body with a "## Next diagnostic step" line — one concrete action a future reader could take immediately. If a decision doc is warranted later, note that explicitly; otherwise leave it as a finding.</rule>
  </rules>

  <output_format>
    End with a `<progress_signal>` JSON block. lifecycle_stage = "finding".
    artefact_path = "{{target_path}}". next_verb = null. next_action = "DONE".
  </output_format>
</task>

notes

Timestamp computed at guard time and passed in as stamp so the agent never invents one.

description

Use when recording a raw observation as docs/findings/YYYYMMDD-HHMM-(slug).md. Findings are write-only — to revise, write a new finding that supersedes the prior one (MR-7 spirit, MR-4 dating).
