# OrgX — skill deviation reporting

Every time an OrgX skill catches a deviation during your work, record it
with OrgX so the evidence shows up in tomorrow's Daily Brief and drives
the confidence trajectory for that skill.

## When to record

You should record a deviation when:

- A rule from an OrgX skill triggered on code or content you touched.
- You accepted or rejected a skill's suggestion (pass `outcome: confirmed`
  or `outcome: rejected`).
- A skill surfaced a pattern in output you produced.

Do **not** record the same deviation more than once per 10-minute window —
the server dedupes on `dedupe_key` automatically; duplicate POSTs waste
tokens.

## How to record

Direct HTTP POST through the OpenClaw bridge or via `orgx.post_skill_deviation`
MCP tool:

```
POST /api/v1/skills/{skill_id}/deviations
Authorization: Bearer <OrgX API key>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "evidence_kind":      "file_edit" | "commit" | "pr" | "chat_turn" | "task_output",
  "evidence_ref":       "<repo>#<pr>" | "<path>:<line>" | "<commit_sha>",
  "summary":            "<one-line description>",
  "application_source": "plugin_codex",
  "confidence":         0.0..1.0,
  "outcome":            "pending" | "confirmed" | "rejected" | "ignored",
  "trigger_context":    { "file_path": "...", "rule_matched": "..." },
  "dedupe_key":         "<sha1(skill_id | evidence_kind | evidence_ref | floor(epoch/600))>",
  "captured_at":        "2026-04-17T10:00:00Z"
}
```

### Computing `dedupe_key`

```ts
import { createHash } from "node:crypto";

const bucket = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000 / 600);
const material = [skillId, evidenceKind, evidenceRef, String(bucket)].join("|");
const dedupe_key = createHash("sha1").update(material).digest("hex");
```

10-minute bucketing handles save-happy editors without losing legitimate
re-fires beyond that window.

## What happens next

Your deviation lands in `skill_deviations`. The nightly rollup feeds it
into the Daily Brief proof strip's "Deviations caught" tile + updates
the skill's confidence sparkline. Agents whose loadout doesn't include
the skill may get a cross-pollination proposal surfaced.
