--- name: method-selector description: Build and risk-screen a compact role-based method shortlist for a mathematical-modeling subquestion. Use after problem framing and data profiling, before model code generation, to propose a main candidate, a usable baseline, and at most one conditional fallback without padding the pool. --- # Purpose Convert the framed problem and data profile into a small executable decision surface. Screen methods for load-bearing data, assumption, degeneracy, sensitivity, and scale risks before asking the human to choose. This skill proposes and probes methods. The human chooses the method. # Preconditions - G1 problem framing passed. - Required output and evaluation criteria are known. - Relevant data inventory or audit exists. - `planning/symbol_table.md` and `planning/model_assumptions.md` exist when the problem needs them. If these are missing, return to the producer skill rather than guessing. # Inputs - Problem parse and classification. - Data audit, including missingness, effective sample size, imbalance, cardinality, and distribution summaries. - Literature analysis when available. - Contest deadline, implementation language, interpretability needs, and compute limits. - `planning/session_config.json`. - Existing `methods/Qx/qx_method_card.md` and decision ledger when revising. # Workflow 1. **Align the decision surface.** - Invoke `decision-prompt-builder` before generating an open-ended shortlist. - Ask about human-owned trade-offs, not algorithm names. - Reuse answers already present in the decision ledger. 2. **Derive method requirements.** - Start from required output, hard constraints, data characteristics, validation criteria, explanation burden, and experiment budget. - Identify the failure modes that would make a method unusable. 3. **Create a role-based shortlist.** - One `main_candidate`: best fit to the chosen trade-off. - One `usable_baseline`: completes the real task and yields directly comparable outputs. - At most one `conditional_fallback`: differs in a meaningful mathematical way and has an explicit activation trigger. - If a simple reference cannot complete the real task, label it `diagnostic_reference`; it does not satisfy the baseline requirement. - Do not add a method merely to reach a candidate count. 4. **Define method-specific risk checks.** - Use the contract in `references/risk-probe-contract.md`. - Select only relevant assumption checks. - Always check output degeneracy or concentration with metrics appropriate to the output. - Bound probe runtime rather than source-line count. 5. **Run the risk probe on the main candidate and usable baseline.** - Use a representative slice or full-data diagnostic as appropriate; never rely only on the first rows. - The probe may use reusable scripts and may save detailed metrics, but its canonical output is one compact summary. - Probe the fallback only enough to establish that its trigger and risk profile are credible. Do not fully implement it. 6. **Write canonical artifacts.** - `methods/Qx/qx_method_card.md` - `methods/Qx/probes/risk_probe_summary.json` - Update `planning/manifests/Qx.json` if present. 7. **Ask for the method choice.** - Present the probe evidence through a choice card. - After the user answers, hand the exact answer to `modeler-decision-logger` for append-only capture in `methods/Qx/qx_decisions.jsonl`. - If no answer is available, stop. Do not create a placeholder decision file. # Method Card Contract `qx_method_card.md` stays compact and contains: ```markdown # Qx Method Card ## Goal and success criteria ## Human constraints - Output form: - Priority: - Unacceptable failure: - Experiment budget: ## Shortlist | ID | Role | Mathematical idea | Why eligible | Main risk | Implementation cost | ## Baseline validity - Real task completed: - Comparable output/metric: - If no, classification: diagnostic_reference ## Risk-probe summary | ID | Executability | Data/assumptions | Degeneracy | Sensitivity | Scale | Verdict | ## Fallback trigger - Trigger: - Evidence to evaluate: ## Compact history - One line per material change, with decision_id when human-owned. ``` Do not maintain a separate iteration log for new work. # Probe Verdicts - `PASS`: eligible for the human choice. - `CONDITIONAL`: eligible only with a stated mitigation or fallback trigger. - `FAIL`: not offered as a selectable main or baseline. A method fails screening when a load-bearing assumption fails, the output degenerates, it cannot produce a legal result, or its cost violates the user's budget. A method does not fail merely because an irrelevant generic diagnostic is unavailable. # Output and Handoff After G2 screening: - If the human choice is absent: return the evidence-backed choice card. - If G2.5 is decided: hand the method card, probe summary, chosen IDs, and experiment budget to `model-code-analyzer`. - Instruct code generation to implement only the approved main method and usable baseline. - Keep the fallback dormant until its recorded trigger fires. # Rules - Do not use a fixed candidate count. - Do not use source-line count as validation quality. - Do not invent missing data fields, constraints, labels, or evaluation metrics. - Do not call a nonfunctional toy method a baseline. - Do not fully implement all shortlisted methods. - Do not select the method or write the human rationale. - Keep AI suggestions visibly separate from the human decision. # Compatibility When revising an older workspace, read: - `methods/Qx/qx_method_candidates.md` - `methods/Qx/qx_method_iteration_log.md` - `methods/Qx/poc/` Migrate material evidence into the method card and probe summary. Do not require new legacy PoCs or iteration logs. # References - Risk checks and summary schema: `references/risk-probe-contract.md` - Method-family routing cues: `references/method-family-guide.md` # Verification - Shortlist contains a main candidate and a genuinely usable baseline. - Optional fallback has a concrete trigger. - Main and baseline have evidence-backed probe verdicts. - Output-degeneracy checks are present. - Method card and probe summary exist. - No per-skill pending decision file was created. - No code-generation handoff occurs before a human method choice is recorded.
