tegwick fa27572f43 fix(example): skip prompt writes when output exists, add quality rubrics
INFRA-TASKS #5 — process_chapters.py now skips writing *-prompt.md files
when the corresponding output file already exists on disk. DB-only rebuilds
no longer dirty the working tree with unchanged prompt content.

INFRA-TASKS #8 — Added '## Quality Metrics' section to the entity and VSM
mapping schemas, defining the five evaluation dimensions (Definition Precision,
Source Grounding, Domain Placement, VSM Relevance, Explanatory Value) with
1–5 rubrics used by the evaluate-entity template.

Also updated INFRA-TASKS.md to reflect current resolution status for tasks
4–19 across S2 and S3.

Economic Entity Schema v1.0

Schema definition for economic entities extracted from source texts.

Required Sections

Definition

A clear, analytical definition of the economic entity (20-150 words).

Source Chapter

The specific chapter from which this entity was extracted, including book and chapter number.

Context

The broader context in which this entity appears within the source text. Describe the argument or passage where the entity is discussed.

Economic Domain

The area of economics this entity belongs to. Use exactly one value from this list:

  • Production — labour, manufacturing, technology, productivity
  • Distribution — wages, profit, rent, income shares
  • Exchange — markets, prices, trade, money, barter
  • Consumption — demand, utility, wants, expenditure
  • Accumulation — capital, savings, stock, investment
  • Regulation — policy, law, institutions, monopoly, government
  • General Theory — foundational principles spanning multiple domains

Do not combine multiple values. Do not use any other domain name.

Optional Sections

Smith's Original Wording

A direct quotation from Adam Smith's text that defines or describes this entity. Must be enclosed in quotation marks with chapter reference.

Modern Interpretation

How this entity is understood in modern economic theory, including any evolution in meaning since Smith's time.

Quality Metrics

Used by the evaluate-entity prompt template to score each entity on five dimensions. Each dimension is scored 15, where 1 = very poor and 5 = excellent.

Definition Precision (1-5)

Is the definition specific, non-circular, and clearly distinguishable from neighbouring concepts? A score of 5 means the definition uniquely identifies the concept without relying on terms that are themselves undefined within the infospace. A score of 1 means the definition is vague, tautological, or indistinguishable from another entity.

Source Grounding (1-5)

Is the entity grounded in a specific, verifiable passage from the source text? A score of 5 means a citation is present, the cited chapter exists, and the definition accurately reflects the cited passage. A score of 1 means no citation is given or the definition contradicts the source.

Domain Placement (1-5)

Is the economic domain assignment correct and specific? A score of 5 means the assigned domain (e.g., Production, Distribution) is the most precise fit and would not be improved by a different choice. A score of 1 means the domain is wrong, or "General Theory" is used when a more specific domain applies.

VSM Relevance (1-5)

Does this entity connect meaningfully to at least one VSM system (S1S5, recursion, variety, algedonic signals)? A score of 5 means the entity is directly mappable to a VSM concept with a clear structural rationale. A score of 1 means the entity has no discernible VSM connection and may be too granular or peripheral to the system model.

Explanatory Value (1-5)

Does this entity contribute to explaining the economic system as a whole, or is it a restatement of another concept? A score of 5 means removing this entity would leave a meaningful gap in the infospace. A score of 1 means another entity already covers this ground, or the entity adds no explanatory power.

Validation Rules

  1. The document MUST contain an H1 heading with the entity name.
  2. The document MUST contain all four required sections: Definition, Source Chapter, Context, Economic Domain.
  3. The Definition section MUST be between 20 and 150 words.
  4. The Source Chapter section MUST cite a specific chapter (e.g., "Book I, Chapter 1").
