Selection report

Skill jperrello/C0BALT_CUT/.claude/skills/selection-report

Write output/<slug>/_selection.json for a source — the shipped shorts (scores + rationale from segments.raw.json, linked to their delivered filename) ALONGSIDE the considered-not-shipped RLM candidate menu (candidates.hint.json, each marked picked/unused) and the topic list (topics.json). Deterministic, no Claude, idempotent, non-fatal. Runs once at end of run AND standalone over the whole output/ backlog. Answers "show me the other arguments alongside the shorts".From its SKILL.md

selection-report

A read-only audit artifact: for each source, what got shipped, what was considered and passed over, and why. Sources every field from work/<id>/ — no Claude.

Usage

selection-report.sh <work_dir> [output_root]   # one source -> output/<slug>/_selection.json
selection-report.sh --backlog [output_root]    # every work/<id> with a matching output/<slug>/

output_root defaults to $OUTPUT_DIR (.env) or <repo>/output.

Inputs (all from `work/<id>/`, all optional → graceful empty sections)

ingest.json — title/url/duration + the slug that names output/<slug>/.
segments.raw.json — the produced shorts with scores + rationale (the SHIPPED set).
clip_NN.done.completion — written by start.sh save-local; maps span N → the delivered filename (the title differs from title_suggestion because generate-title re-titles). Absent in the legacy shorts.sh path → name: null.
candidates.hint.json — the rlm discovery menu (CONSIDERED set; absent on non-rlm short sources → empty).
topics.json — the topic chapters.

Output `output/<slug>/_selection.json`

  "source_id": "...", "title": "...", "url": "...", "slug": "...", "duration_sec": 0,

  "considered":[ { "t0","t1","quote","why","confidence",
                   "picked","picked_by",            // picked = overlaps a shipped cut
                   "thread?","kind?","cuts?","bridge?" } ],
  "topics":    [ { "t0","t1","title","summary" } ]
}

A candidate is picked: true when its [t0,t1] overlaps any shipped span's cuts; picked_by names the short it overlaps most.

Where it runs

start.sh end-of-run (after sources-ledger, before schedule-drip) for the just-run source; shorts.sh end-of-run; standalone --backlog to backfill existing output dirs. Idempotent — rewritten each run.
