Pattern Proposal: Evidence-Derived Steering Facts
Summary
Steering models turn raw git deltas and prompt facts into typed capability records, lineage and architectural deltas.
Candidate Pattern
- ID:
evidence-derived-steering-facts - Classification: intelligence
- Maturity: strategic_direction
- Type: emerging
Observed Signals
No specific signals listed.
Evidence
Supporting Evidence
Scope Assessment
- Evidence Strength: medium
- Confidence: medium
- Applies to: ideas-to-life-cas
Rationale
- Intent: Make architectural steering traceable to repository and prompt evidence rather than unexplained generation.
- Context: src/cas_runner/steering/models.py defines GitChangeType, RawGitDelta, PromptFact, SteeringRuntimeIndex, CapabilityCategory, CapabilityRecordType, CapabilityRecord, CapabilitySet, CapabilityLineage and ArchitecturalDelta.
- Force: steering decisions need traceability
- Force: git changes and prompt outputs are heterogeneous evidence
- Force: capability growth needs lineage over time
