# Observe

> Record falsifiable predictions, score outcomes, inspect calibration and a compact scorecard, or audit/delete Recursive Observe's private local evidence. Use when a user asks to track whether an agent task succeeds, measure confidence, review prediction accuracy, or manage Observe data without changing the current repository.

## Install

```sh
agentstack add skill-ghostlygawd-recursive-harness-observe
```

Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

## About

# Observe

Use the bundled deterministic CLI. Do not emulate its ledger with prose or create project
files. Resolve `scripts/observe.py` relative to this `SKILL.md`; never run an untrusted
project-local file with the same name.

## Record and score

Before uncertain, meaningful work, record one falsifiable expected result:

```bash
python3 /scripts/observe.py predict \
  --task "harden the parser" \
  --expect "the malformed fixture is rejected and the full suite stays green" \
  --confidence 0.75
```

After observable evidence exists, score the printed identifier. Never infer success from
intent or score an unfinished task.

```bash
python3 /scripts/observe.py outcome PREDICTION_ID \
  --result hit --notes "fixture and suite passed"
```

Keep `task`, `expect`, and `notes` short. Do not include prompts, source contents, secrets,
credentials, or personal data. The runtime applies defense-in-depth redaction before writes.

## Review evidence

Use `stats` for calibration buckets or `scorecard` for the compact proof surface. Add
`--json` when another tool needs structured output.

```bash
python3 /scripts/observe.py stats
python3 /scripts/observe.py scorecard --json
```

## Protect privacy

Observe stores sanitized evidence below `~/.recursive-harness/observe`, never the working
repository. The runtime intentionally accepts no state-path argument or environment override.
Read [the privacy contract](references/privacy.md) when the user asks what is stored, where
it lives, how long it remains, or how uninstall affects it.

Audit aggregate metadata without printing prediction text:

```bash
python3 /scripts/observe.py privacy audit --json
```

Delete all Observe records only on an explicit user request. Preview first; `purge` remains
a dry run until `--apply` is present.

```bash
python3 /scripts/observe.py privacy purge
python3 /scripts/observe.py privacy purge --apply
```

Installing or invoking this skill must not edit `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/`,
`.codex/`, hooks, workflows, or any other file in the active repository.
