nw-tr-review-criteria

nw-tr-review-criteria is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 16 tokens per session (814 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist and scoring guide for reviewing root-cause investigations. It checks whether the explanation follows a logical chain, uses observable evidence, and considers other possible causes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess debugging reports and incident investigations for sound reasoning and sufficient evidence.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers detect guesses, missing links, unsupported conclusions, and fixes aimed at the wrong cause.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nw-tr-review-criteria scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Troubleshooter Review Criteria

Review dimensions and scoring for root cause analysis quality assessment.

Dimension 1: Causality Logic

Check each WHY-to-WHY link.

Pass: logical mechanism (not just correlation) | no skipped steps | alternatives considered/eliminated | chain reads coherently both directions

Failures: correlation assumed as causation | causal chain gaps | single-path tunnel vision (first plausible cause accepted)

Severity: Critical -- wrong root cause = ineffective fixes.

Dimension 2: Evidence Quality

Verify findings grounded in observable data.

Pass: each WHY cites specific evidence (logs, metrics, config, repro steps) | evidence verifiable by third party | timeline supports causality | hypotheses marked unverified

Failures: "Probably because..." without data | vague references ("logs show issues") | mixing facts with speculation unlabeled

Severity: High -- unreliable analysis undermines trust.

Dimension 3: Alternative Hypotheses

Verify competing explanations explored.

Pass: 2+ alternatives at WHY 1-3 | each pursued or eliminated with evidence | "why not" reasoning documented

Failures: stops at first plausible cause | alternatives mentioned but unevaluated | confirmation bias

Severity: High -- may miss actual root cause.

Dimension 4: Five-WHY Depth

Verify analysis reaches fundamental causes.

Pass: each branch reaches WHY 5 (or justifies stopping with evidence) | final causes are actionable | causes explain symptoms when traced forward

Failures: stopping at WHY 2-3 | WHY 5 vague/philosophical not actionable | branches abandoned

Severity: High -- shallow analysis = band-aid fixes that recur.

Dimension 5: Completeness and Coverage

Verify all symptoms accounted for.

Pass: all symptoms have causal branch | root causes collectively explain all | no orphan symptoms | cross-cause validation (no contradictions)

Failures: symptoms ignored | root causes explain primary but not secondary | contradictory causes without reconciliation

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nw-tr-review-criteria is a skill published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (620 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 814 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-06.
