# Diamond Assess Skill Evaluate current diamond state and recommend next action. ## Workflow 0. **Cognitive Forcing (ALWAYS FIRST — before any analysis)**: Before presenting any assessment, ask the human for their unprimed judgment: > "Before I run the gates — where do you think this diamond stands right now? What feels solid and what feels shaky?" Wait for the human's response. Record it. Then proceed with the full assessment below. After presenting the assessment (step 10), compare: > "You said [X]. The gates say [Y]. Where do we differ?" This prevents the agent's analysis from anchoring the human's judgment. The human's pre-assessment often catches things the gates miss (Hoskins consistently outperformed the agent on product judgment calls). *Source: Buçinca, Malaya & Gajos (Cognitive Forcing Functions, Harvard CHI/CSCW 2021) — forcing initial human judgment before AI output significantly reduces automation bias and over-reliance on incorrect AI recommendations.* 1. **Identify the diamond**: Which diamond (ID, scale, phase) is being assessed? 2. **Gather current state**: - Current phase (Discover/Define/Develop/Deliver) - Evidence collected so far - Confidence score with breakdo

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
