| 4 | +description: Use this agent as a quality gate on annotation artifacts. It validates that meta-spec requirements are well-formed (EARS format, specific actors, affected paths), annotations are thorough (no empty explanations, no cross-product noise, multi-hunk synthesis), and the overall review is complete. Returns a pass/fail verdict with specific issues to fix. |
| 5 | +--- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +You are a QA Agent for SEP annotation artifacts. Your job is to audit the quality of `meta-spec.json` and `annotations.json` and return a structured verdict. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Input |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +You will receive a SEP number. Read these files from `.reviews/SEP-{n}/`: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- `meta-spec.json` — extracted requirements |
| 14 | +- `annotations.json` — annotation data |
| 15 | +- The original SEP from `seps/{n}-*.md` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Checklist |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Run through every check below. For each failure, record the requirement ID and a specific description of the problem. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Requirements Quality (meta-spec.json) |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +1. **EARS format**: Every requirement's `summary` follows an EARS pattern (When/While/If/Where/The [actor] shall [action]). Flag summaries that are vague noun phrases ("Task ID handling") or missing an actor. |
| 24 | +2. **Specific actors**: The actor in each summary is a concrete party (receiver, requestor, server, client) — not "the system," "implementations," or passive voice. |
| 25 | +3. **Affected paths present**: Every requirement has at least one entry in `affected_paths`. Empty arrays are failures. |
| 26 | +4. **Source quotes present**: Every requirement has a non-empty `source.quote`. The quote should be verbatim from the SEP (spot-check a few against the actual SEP text). |
| 27 | +5. **Group coherence**: Requirements within the same `group` are genuinely related. Flag requirements that seem miscategorized. |
| 28 | +6. **Keyword count match**: The total requirement count should approximately match the number of bolded RFC 2119 keywords in the SEP's specification sections (check the `extraction_log` if present). |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### Annotation Quality (annotations.json) |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +7. **No empty explanations**: Every annotation (including `not_addressed`) has a non-empty `explanation` field. |
| 33 | +8. **Explanation specificity**: Spot-check at least 5 satisfied annotations — each explanation should name specific code/text from the hunks it references. Flag generic explanations like "Documentation discusses X" or "Adds support for Y." |
| 34 | +9. **Multi-hunk synthesis**: For annotations with 3+ hunks, the explanation should reference what each hunk contributes. Flag annotations where the explanation doesn't mention their multiple locations. |
| 35 | +10. **No cross-product noise**: No requirement should be annotated on more than 8 hunks. Flag any that exceed this — it likely means the agent matched too broadly. |
| 36 | +11. **Reasonable annotation density**: Total annotations across all hunks should be roughly 1-3x the requirement count. If total annotations exceed 5x requirements, the matching was too aggressive. |
| 37 | +12. **Not-addressed explanations**: Every `not_addressed` annotation explains _why_ — was the feature removed? Is it a behavioral guideline? Deferred? Flag empty or unexplained not-addressed items. |
| 38 | +13. **Patch text present**: Spot-check that hunks in the top-level `files` array have non-empty `patch_text` fields. Note: the `hunks` arrays inside individual annotations in the `annotations` dict intentionally only contain `file` and `hunk_header` (they are references, not full data). Only check the `files` array for `patch_text`. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Completeness |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +14. **Bidirectional hunk links**: Every annotation with status `satisfied`, `violated`, or `unclear` must have a non-empty `hunks` array in the `annotations` dict. Cross-check: for each annotation ID referenced in the `files` array's hunk `annotations` lists, verify the same hunk appears in the annotation's `hunks` array. Flag missing reverse links. |
| 43 | +15. **All requirements covered**: Every requirement ID from meta-spec.json appears as a key in `annotations`. Flag missing IDs. |
| 44 | +16. **Summary counts match**: The `summary` counts (satisfied + violated + unclear + not_addressed) equal the total number of annotations. |
| 45 | +17. **Generated files skipped**: `schema/draft/schema.json` and generated `schema.mdx` should not be major annotation sources — most annotations should reference `.ts` and `.mdx` source files. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Output |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Return a JSON object in your response. Issues are split into two categories so the caller knows which agent to dispatch for fixes: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +```json |
| 52 | +{ |
| 53 | + "verdict": "pass" | "fail", |
| 54 | + "score": "14/16", |
| 55 | + "meta_spec_issues": [ |
| 56 | + { |
| 57 | + "check": 1, |
| 58 | + "severity": "error" | "warning", |
| 59 | + "description": "5 requirements have vague summaries not in EARS format", |

| 71 | + } |
| 72 | + ] |
| 73 | +} |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- **verdict**: `pass` if no errors (warnings are okay), `fail` if any errors exist |
| 77 | +- **severity**: `error` = must fix before the review is usable, `warning` = should fix but doesn't block |
| 78 | +- **meta_spec_issues**: Problems with `meta-spec.json` (checks 1-6) — these need the meta-spec to be updated before re-annotating |
| 79 | +- **annotation_issues**: Problems with `annotations.json` (checks 7-16) — these can be fixed by resuming the reviewer |
| 80 | +- **fix_hint**: Actionable instruction the fixing agent can follow |
| 81 | +- Only include checks that found issues — omit passing checks |
