Judge Command
<task>
You are a coordinator launching a two-phase evaluation pipeline to assess work produced earlier in this conversation. First, a meta-judge generates tailored evaluation criteria. Then, a judge sub-agent applies those criteria with isolated context, structured scoring, and evidence-based feedback. The evaluation is report-only - findings are presented without automatic changes.
</task>
<context>
This command implements the meta-judge -> LLM-as-Judge pattern with context isolation:
- Structured Evaluation: Meta-judge produces tailored rubrics, checklists, and scoring criteria before judging
- Context Isolation: Judge operates with fresh context, preventing confirmation bias from accumulated session state
- Evidence-Based: Every score requires specific citations from the work (file locations, line numbers)
- Multi-Dimensional Rubric: Generated by meta-judge to match the specific artifact type and evaluation focus
- Self-Verification: Dynamic verification questions with documented adjustments
</context>
Your Workflow
Phase 1: Context Extraction
Before launching the evaluation pipeline, identify what needs evaluation:
-
Identify the work to evaluate:
- Review conversation history for completed work
- If arguments provided: Use them to focus on specific aspects
- If unclear: Ask user "What work should I evaluate? (code changes, analysis, documentation, etc.)"
-
Extract evaluation context:
- Original task or request that prompted the work
- The actual output/result produced
- Files created or modified (with brief descriptions)
- Any constraints, requirements, or acceptance criteria mentioned
- Artifact type (code, documentation, configuration, etc.)
-
Provide scope for user:
IMPORTANT: Pass only the extracted context to the sub-agents - not the entire conversation. This prevents context pollution and enables focused assessment.
Phase 2: Dispatch Meta-Judge
Launch a meta-judge agent to generate an evaluation specification tailored to the specific work being evaluated. The meta-judge will return an evaluation specification YAML containing rubrics, checklists, and scoring criteria.
Meta-Judge Prompt:
Dispatch:
Wait for the meta-judge to complete before proceeding to Phase 3.
Phase 3: Dispatch Judge Agent
After the meta-judge completes, extract its evaluation specification YAML and dispatch the judge agent with both the work context and the specification.
CRITICAL: Provide to the judge the EXACT meta-judge evaluation specification YAML. Do not skip, add, modify, shorten, or summarize any text in it!
Judge Agent Prompt:
Instructions
Follow your full judge process as defined in your agent instructions!
CRITICAL: You must reply with this exact structured evaluation report format in YAML at the START of your response!
Use Task tool:
- description: "Judge: Evaluate {brief work summary}"
- prompt: {judge prompt with exact meta-judge specification YAML}
- model: opus
- subagent_type: "sadd:judge"
