suggest-path Evaluator (plausibility-domain, wiki-aware, drilldown-backed)

What this is

GROWI's suggest-path takes a document body and proposes parent paths to save it under. This skill reviews each proposal and marks it ○ (usable) / △ (usable but a better place exists) / × (not usable), and — because a candidate can only be ruled out once you know where the document should live — it also drills down the wiki to build the document's own ideal home and reports it (including "this is a new path" when nothing fits). It is a measurement/tuning tool for suggest-path, not part of the production feature; it does not modify suggest-path or GROWI.

The evaluation paradigm: plausibility domain, not answer-key

The correct save location is not unique. A meeting-note could reasonably live under a minutes tree OR a dev-log tree OR a "discussion" area under an API-spec — all are legitimate. So this skill does not pick one canonical answer and grade against it. Instead it asks of each candidate: "is placing this document here reasonable, and is there a clearly better home?" Multiple ○'s are expected and correct.

The drilldown (Phase B) builds a recommended home, but that home is a reference, not a single must-match key: it tells you when a candidate is beaten (→ △ with the better place named), never that a candidate must equal it. This is the deliberate middle ground — explore enough to know when a candidate is beaten, without collapsing the answer to one point.

★★ The non-negotiable constraint: wiki-agnostic

This skill is used on an unknown wiki (wiki-agnostic). It must not be optimized to any one wiki (= overfitting).

The same kind of document may correctly live in very different places depending on the wiki — a spec might sit at /docs/spec/, or root-level /spec/, or /project/<name>/spec/. All are correct — only the filing convention differs. The job is: given THIS wiki's own organization, is placing this document at this candidate path reasonable, and is there a clearly better home? — never does it match a specific canonical tree?

Hard rules that follow:

• Never encode specific path strings or directory names into the judgement. Reason from structure, not from memorized paths. The moment a concrete path becomes a fixed criterion, this becomes a single-wiki tool.
• Infer the wiki's classification system from the tree itself (the candidate tree and what you see while drilling down), then judge whether the document's character fits it. Example: if this wiki keeps separate trees for different document kinds (specs vs manuals vs minutes), respect that separation — but the criterion is "respect the separation THIS wiki makes", not any particular directory name being canonical.

The judgement stance

Aim to draw the boundary of plausibility, not to hit one narrow correct answer.

• Clear mis-placement → ×. (meeting-notes vs a UI-design tree = obviously different.)
• Reasonably plausible → ○, and be generous: multiple candidates can be ○. (meeting-notes could sit under a minutes tree OR a dev-log tree OR a "discussion" area under an API-spec — all ○.)
• Right direction but a clearly better home exists → △ (usable, but improvable). △ is not a hedge — it means "you could file it here, but the drilldown found a place that fits better; here it is." Always pair a △ with that better place.
• Genuinely ambiguous content gets a wider ○, not a forced single pick. ("a meeting where an API spec was discussed" may belong under minutes or under a spec-discussion area — allow both ○.) But "put an API definition into the meeting-minutes tree" → ×.

The judgement principles (wiki-agnostic)

Transferable reasoning, no fixed path strings. The ordering matters: the firm axes are applied decisively; the soft axis (depth) must not be applied rigidly — there, lean ○/△, not ×.

Firm axes — apply decisively

1. Clear mis-placement is × — this is the core job. A candidate whose subject or document-kind plainly does not belong (meeting-notes proposed under a UI-design tree; an API definition under a minutes tree) is × with confidence. The "obvious no" is the most reliable verdict this skill makes — spend your confidence here.
2. "Usable" = you would actually file it here, not merely "same broad genre". Genre match alone is not enough; it must be a place a careful person would actually choose.
3. Personal/private areas are × for shared content (a candidate under someone's personal user space, for content that should be a shared wiki asset). It won't become a shared asset there.
4. Classification-axis mismatch is × even if the topic matches. If the document's kind (spec / manual / minutes / decision-record / …) conflicts with the candidate's classification — even when the subject name matches perfectly — it is ×. Read this abstractly: "if THIS wiki separates document kinds, a candidate in the wrong kind is ×", NOT "a specific pair of directory names is canonical". First determine what kind of document this is, then check the candidate's place is consistent with that kind, as THIS wiki expresses kinds. (Reading page content, per Phase A, is what lets you catch a kind-mismatch that the path name alone hides — and avoid a false × when the path name looks wrong but the content fits.)

Soft axis — do NOT be rigid

5. Depth is a soft call — when a candidate is right in subject/kind but arguably one level off, lean ○/△, never ×. Depth is genuinely ambiguous: a careful person filing the same document twice may not even nest it the same way. So:
   • Too shallow → ○ (or △). A parent broader than ideal still leaves room to nest later; not fatal as long as subject/kind direction is right. Decide ○ vs △ by THIS wiki's habit (Phase A step on shallow candidates, below): if siblings under the candidate are organized into per-topic subdirectories, a too-shallow candidate is △ (a new subdir is the better home — name it in the △ note); if the area is run flat, it is ○. (Only a catch-all top-level bucket that anything falls into is too vague → ×, and that's really axis 1/2, not depth.)
   • Too deep → usually ○, not ×. A slightly-narrower box is a soft miss. Mark deep-but-on-topic candidates × only when the box is clearly narrower than the document's whole scope (a doc about a feature in general, proposed under one sub-detail of that feature). When it's a judgement call, lean ○/△. Do not manufacture strictness.

Tie-breakers

6. Multiple ○'s are expected. If several parents are reasonable, mark them all ○; do not force a single best.
7. "When in doubt, ×" applies to KIND/subject doubt, not depth doubt. If you're unsure because the subject or document-kind might not fit (axes 1–4), lean ×. If you're unsure only about how deep an otherwise-fitting candidate sits (axis 5), lean ○/△.

Inputs

1. The document body (required) — one document, or several for a batch.
2. The wiki to evaluate against — which GROWI instance is the tree/ground truth (the same instance suggest-path is called against). Default: the local GROWI in the devcontainer.

The user does not pre-run suggest-path; this skill calls it.

The flow

For a single document, run Phase A and Phase B against the same wiki, then report. Phase B runs for every document — it is what lets Phase A say × with confidence (you only rule a candidate out once you know a better place exists).

Step 0. Get suggest-path's proposals

Call suggest-path with the document body. Prefer the MCP tool; fall back to HTTP.

• MCP (preferred): mcp__growi__suggestPath with { body: <document> }.
• HTTP (fallback): POST /_api/v3/ai-tools/suggest-path with { "body": "<document>" }, auth via ?access_token=<token>. Devcontainer: http://localhost:3000/.... Response: { "suggestions": [ { "type", "path", "label", "description", ... }, ... ] }.

Keep every proposal, including obviously-wrong ones — the job is to mark each, not to pre-filter. The path field is what you judge. The description is suggest-path's own justification — do not let it sway you; judge body × path on your own. If suggest-path returns zero proposals, record that as a result (nothing to mark usable), do not silently skip.

Note on the wiki source. Both phases read the wiki tree and page content through a Vault interface — see references/tree-source.md for how to source it today and the Vault boundary to preserve. Judge content fit, not path-string similarity: a path can string-match a surface word yet be the wrong home (exactly suggest-path's own failure mode).

Phase A — judge each candidate ○ / △ / ×

For each proposed parent path:

1. Understand the document's meaning (subject + kind) from the body.
2. Decompose the candidate path into its hierarchy, and look at each level's page:
   • Page has a body → use that level's content (a snippet is enough) to tell what kind of page it is.
   • Box page ($lsx()-only / empty / non-existent intermediate — a grouping page) → its body says nothing; look at its children (titles + snippets) to learn what the box is for. In GROWI, parent directories tend to be $lsx()-only; the box's identity is told by its contents, not its own body. A large share of candidate levels are such boxes, so this is the common case, not the exception. Without reading children you cannot judge a box; do not guess from its path name.
   • A path/title can look wrong while the content fits (or vice versa) — reading the snippet is what catches kind-mismatches (axis 4) and prevents false ×.
3. Score the candidate on its own merits (do not overturn it just because Phase B found somewhere else — Phase B informs ○-vs-△, not the candidate's intrinsic fit):
   • whole path fits in subject and kind → ○
   • part of the path is off but it's still a usable home → △, and name the better place
   • shallow candidate (right direction, but the wiki would normally nest one level deeper): look at the candidate's children to read THIS wiki's habit — per-topic subdirectories ⇒ △ (a new subdir is the better home); flat area ⇒ ○. Not a blanket rule; depends on how organized this part of the wiki is.
   • subject/kind clearly wrong (any depth) → ×
4. Self-consistency gate (below) so you prove you judged THIS document.

Self-consistency gate: prove you judged the right body

Write a one-line body digest: subject + 3–5 proper nouns / feature names taken verbatim from the body ({ "subject": "...", "key_terms": ["...", ...] }). Then verify every key term actually appears in the body you read. If a term you "remember" isn't in the text, you summarised a different document — discard, re-read this body, redo Phase A. This catches the most damaging batch error: filing the right reasoning under the wrong document. It needs only the body (no answer key), so it works on any wiki and leaks no ground truth. scripts/reconcile-digests.ts runs this check mechanically over a batch (see Batch mode).

Phase B — drilldown to the document's ideal home (always run)

Build, from the wiki, where this document should go. This is the reference that lets Phase A distinguish ○ from △ (and rule × with confidence). It is a beam descent from the root:

From the root, at each level:

• a. List the level's children (titles + snippets).
• b. Pick the candidates worth descending into — the "plausible" children, up to 3 (keep a child whose snippet fits even if its title looks marginal; don't drop on title alone — that's how a good-but-oddly-named home gets missed).
• c. Read the full body of those kept children (up to 3) and choose the best fit to descend into. Don't commit to one child on a single glance — that prunes a better branch too early.
• d. Stop when no child fits the document better than the current node — the current node is the recommended save location. Depth cap 5 levels as a backstop and cycle guard; the real stop is "no better child", not the cap. Most save locations are far shallower than 5, so the cap rarely bites — note it if you hit it.
• If nothing along the descent fits, conclude "new path" and state where it would hang.

"Better fit" is a judgement call you make (LLM judgement) — do not reduce it to a numeric threshold; thresholds invite the arbitrariness this skill exists to avoid.

Phase A and Phase B share work: in both you read a node's children to understand the wiki's granularity habit. Do it once and reuse it — the box-identity reads in Phase A step 2 and the child-listing in Phase B are the same kind of access.

Cost caveat. Reading up to 3 full bodies per level can add up on deep trees. Listing children with short snippets is cheap; the full-body reads are the cost to watch. Run the defaults above (beam ≤3, full-reads ≤3, depth ≤5) on a few cases first, measure the real cost, and retune the beam/depth if needed. Don't assume it's free.

Step 4. Report

Per document:

## <document label>
- Body digest: <subject> | key terms: <term, term, ...>   (self-consistency check; all terms must be in the body)
- This wiki's inferred organization: <one line: how it separates kinds / nests topics>
- suggest-path proposals, each judged:
  1. <path>   — ○ | △ | ×  — <one-line why: which principle; for △, the better place>
  2. <path>   — ○ | △ | ×  — ...
- Recommended home (Phase B drilldown): <path, or "new path under <parent>">
- Usable count: <#○+#△> / <#candidates>   (○: <#○>, △: <#△>, ×: <#×>)
- Note: <where suggest-path went wrong, or why a call was hard / genuinely ambiguous>

• △ always carries its better place — either a sibling/child path the drilldown found, or the Phase B recommended home.
• The Phase B recommended home appears once per document (not per candidate); a candidate may equal it (→ that candidate is ○), be beaten by it (→ △), or be unrelated (judge on its own axes).
• Do not emit absolute point scores (they drift run-to-run). The ○/△/× marks are the output; aggregate them across documents (below) for rates.

Batch mode and per-domain rates

A single document is the core unit. For a batch, run the flow per document, then aggregate. Batches are where bodies get swapped — gate every document (Phase A's self-consistency gate is mandatory in batch mode; a body that fails reconciliation is a suspected swap: re-judge it in isolation before it enters the aggregate; reconciliation is a deterministic string check, not another LLM pass). scripts/reconcile-digests.ts runs this gate over a directory of bodies and exits non-zero on a suspected swap, so it can block aggregation.

Aggregate from the ○/△/× marks (scripts/aggregate.ts turns per-document verdicts into the per-domain table):

• usable-rate (case-level) — fraction of documents with ≥1 usable (○ or △) candidate. This is a precision-side number: "did suggest-path put at least one reasonable place in its list". It cannot measure recall (whether a good place existed that suggest-path never proposed) — but Phase B's recommended home gives a recall signal: count cases where the recommended home matched no proposed candidate (= suggest-path missed a better place it should have offered). Report both, and label the usable-rate as precision-side.
• per-candidate ○/△/× rates — fraction of all candidates in each class.
• ×-concentration by reason — group ×'s by which principle triggered them (clear mis-placement / axis-mismatch / personal-area / vague-catch-all). Different reasons point at different suggest-path fixes. Depth is, by design, rarely a × here.

Group by whatever "domain" fits the batch (wiki area, document type). If you bound coverage (sampled docs, capped the proposal list, hit the depth cap), say so — a silent cap reads as "measured everything".

On the verdict unit (why ○/△/× and not hit/miss)

The ○/△/× verdict is deliberately a plausibility judgement, not an answer-key match. A human reviewing the same proposals marks candidates the same way — so this skill's output can be sanity-checked by a human reading a handful of cases. Two things to keep in mind when doing that:

• The human's marks are a useful reference but not absolute truth: a human marks candidates one by one, while this skill, seeing the whole tree via Phase B, may know a better home the human overlooked. So human-○ / skill-△ (and vice versa) is expected, not a bug — the two will not agree perfectly, and shouldn't be forced to.
• If the skill ever needs tuning, fix disagreements only by sharpening the wiki-agnostic principles above — never by adding concrete paths to make one wiki's numbers look better (that helps one wiki and breaks every other).
