The workflow has explicit weekday-based configuration intent but produces no durable evidence of deployment or test outcomes. Per the study requirements, activity/configuration checks are not valid substitutes for direct operational attainment.

  • Study record: Added the required schema-compliant study JSON.
  • Outcome: Marked the design blocked with documented evidence, assignment, maturation, metric, baseline, and uncertainty decisions.
  • Scope: No workflow, lock file, or evaluator changes were made.

Original prompt

[operational-value-study:paper-v1] daily-choice-test

Use the repository's .github/skills/operational-value-designer/SKILL.md to design
and verify one deterministic operational-value grader for github/gh-aw
workflow daily-choice-test. This is a fresh research run; do not copy another
workflow's metric or contract.

Requirements:

  • Recover adoption-time intent and pre-adoption evidence independently.
  • Use exactly one direct primary attainment metric in [0,1]. Keep diagnostics separate.
  • Treat unavailable evidence as null, never zero. Make maturation explicit and stable.
  • Support historical assignment reconstruction when case and event are null.
  • If no direct operational metric is defensible, create only the study record below with designOutcome "blocked" and explain why. Never substitute activity, output volume, traces, or agent judgment.
  • Change only .github/workflows/daily-choice-test.md, its generated lock file,
    .github/graders/daily-choice-test-operational-value.sh, and .github/graders/daily-choice-test-operational-value-study.json.
  • Do not add generated historical reports to the pull request.

Write .github/graders/daily-choice-test-operational-value-study.json as JSON with this exact top-level shape:
{
"schemaVersion": 1,
"repository": "github/gh-aw",
"workflowId": "daily-choice-test",

},

"level": "low|medium|high|unknown",
"description": "specific limitation",
"mitigation": null,
"evidenceReferences": []
}]
}

For blocked/rejected designs, rejectionReason must be a non-empty string. Record
observable contract choices and alternatives only; do not record chain-of-thought.

Validation for accepted designs:

  1. .github/skills/operational-value-designer/scripts/verify-operational-value-evaluator.sh .github/graders/daily-choice-test-operational-value.sh
  2. gh aw compile .github/workflows/daily-choice-test.md

Keep the pull request limited to this workflow. The local study runner will replay
history and archive reports after this task completes.
