Incoherence Detector Skill

Purpose

Detect and resolve incoherence: contradictions between docs and code, ambiguous specifications, missing documentation, or policy violations.

Prerequisites

Before starting: User must specify the report filename (e.g., "output to incoherence-report.md").

Invocation

# Detection phase (steps 1-13)
python3 scripts/​incoherence.py --step-number 1 --total-steps 22 --thoughts "<context>"

# Reconciliation phase (steps 14-22, after user edits report)
python3 scripts/​incoherence.py --step-number 14 --total-steps 22 --thoughts "Reconciling..."

Reconciliation Behavior

Idempotent: Can be run multiple times on the same report.

Skip conditions (issue left unchanged):

  • No resolution provided by user
  • Already marked as resolved (from previous run)
  • Could not apply (sub-agent failed)

Only action: Mark successfully applied resolutions as ✅ RESOLVED in report.

Report Format

Step 9 generates issues with Resolution sections:

### Issue I1: [Title]

**Type**: Contradiction | Ambiguity | Gap | Policy Violation
**Severity**: critical | high | medium | low

#### Source A / Source B

[quotes and locations]

#### Suggestions

1. [Option A]
2. [Option B]

#### Resolution

<!-- USER: Write your decision below. Be specific. -->

<!-- /​Resolution -->

After reconciliation, resolved issues get a Status section:

#### Resolution

<!-- USER: Write your decision below. Be specific. -->

Use the spec value (100MB).

<!-- /​Resolution -->

#### Status

✅ RESOLVED — src/​uploader.py:156: Changed MAX_FILE_SIZE to 100MB
