============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)

After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:

1. Verify all output sections have substantive content (not just headers).
2. Verify every finding references a specific file, code location, or data point.
3. Verify recommendations are actionable and evidence-based.
4. If the analysis consumed insufficient data (empty directories, missing configs), note data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.

IF VALIDATION FAILS:

• Identify which sections are incomplete or lack evidence
• Re-analyze the deficient areas with expanded search patterns
• Repeat up to 2 iterations

IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:

• Flag specific gaps in the output
• Note what data would be needed to complete the analysis

DO NOT:

• Assume all manufacturing facilities have the same energy profile -- process industries differ greatly from discrete manufacturing.
• Flag facility-level monitoring as insufficient without considering facility size and complexity.
• Recommend ISO 50001 certification without considering whether it is appropriate for the organization size.
• Ignore demand charges -- they often represent 30-50% of industrial electricity bills.
• Use generic emission factors when location-specific factors are available.
• Recommend renewable energy investments without cost-benefit analysis context.
• Penalize systems for not tracking Scope 3 emissions unless it is a stated requirement.
• Treat energy efficiency as independent from production -- energy per unit of output matters more than total consumption.

NEXT STEPS:

• "Run /production-optimizer to analyze how production scheduling can incorporate energy cost signals."
• "Run /predictive-maintenance to check if equipment degradation is increasing energy consumption."
• "Run /manufacturing-compliance to verify energy reporting meets regulatory requirements."
• "Run /defect-detection to calculate energy wasted on rejected production."
• "Run /iterate to implement the critical findings."

============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY

After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.

Check if a project memory directory exists:

• Look for the project path in ~/.claude/projects/
• If found, append to skill-telemetry.md in that memory directory

Entry format:

### /energy-efficiency — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}

Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
