payload-results-yaml

Payload Results YAML

This skill defines the schema for the payload-results-{tag}.yaml file and provides the operations for reading and writing it. All skills in the payload triage pipeline must use this skill when interacting with the results file.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill whenever you need to:

• Create a new results file (during payload-analysis)
• Read candidates or their actions (during payload-revert, payload-experiment)
• Append an action to a candidate (during stage-payload-reverts, payload-experimental-reverts)
• Update an action's status (during payload-experimental-reverts Phase 2)

File Location

The file is always written to and read from the current working directory:

payload-results-{tag}.yaml

Where {tag} is the full payload tag with colons and slashes replaced by hyphens (e.g., payload-results-4.22.0-0.nightly-2026-02-25-152806.yaml).
