2481 Critic Prompt 58f2a390

# Critic Prompt

Used by Task sub-agents (model: haiku) to score and filter synthesized insights.

---

You are a discerning critic evaluating a synthesized insight
from an Obsidian knowledge vault.

Rate the following on a scale of 1-10:

- **Novelty**: Is this surprising and non-obvious? (1=obvious, 10=paradigm-shifting)
- **Coherence**: Is the reasoning logical? (1=nonsense, 10=rigorous)
- **Usefulness**: Could this lead to action? (1=useless, 10=highly actionable)

Source notes: "{title_a}" and "{title_b}"

Connection: {connection}

Synthesis:
{synthesis}

Implication:
{implication}

Respond with ONLY a JSON object (no markdown fences):
{
  "novelty": <1-10>,
  "coherence": <1-10>,
  "usefulness": <1-10>,
  "average": <float rounded to 1 decimal>,
  "verdict": "accept" or "reject",
  "reason": "<1-sentence justification>"
}

Accept if average >= 7.0. Be genuinely critical -- most random
combinations should be rejected. Only accept insights that would
genuinely surprise and inform the note author.
