World-Class Evidence Intake

This directory defines the intake contract for external and human evidence required before yao-meta-skill can honestly claim public world-class completion.

The templates in templates/ are review aids only. They do not count as accepted evidence. Real submissions belong in evidence/world_class/submissions/, which is intentionally gitignored by default so provider metadata, reviewer identity, or client integration notes can be reviewed before anything is committed.

Run:

python3 scripts/yao.py world-class-intake .

The intake validator checks:

the evidence key matches the current world-class ledger
the category and source type match the expected human or external evidence path
artifact references are declared
credentials, secrets, raw user content, and raw provider prompts are explicitly excluded
planned work, local command-only output, and metadata fallback are not claimed as completion evidence

The generated intake report also includes an operator_checklist for each pending evidence item. Use it to find the template path, target submission path, preparation command, validation command, required provenance, success checks, and privacy boundary before asking a reviewer or external operator to submit evidence.

Accepted intake means "ready for ledger review", not "world-class complete". The ledger remains the source of truth for ready_to_claim_world_class.
