## Pre-Flight Results

| Check | Expected | Found | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| `schema_version` | `3.1` | `3.1` | ✅ PASS |
| `prerequisites` field in schema | exists | exists (schema/skill.schema.json, SHA 3917bb79) | ✅ PASS |
| Rejected edge `reflection → react` in any file | absent | absent (reflection.md frontmatter: only `cot`) | ✅ PASS |
| Rejected edge `memory-augmented → react` in any file | absent | absent (memory-augmented.md: no prerequisites field) | ✅ PASS |

## Approved REQUIRES Edges — Pre-Commit State

| Edge | Source File State | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `react → cot` | Frontmatter confirmed (react.md v3.1, SHA 5f9de72d) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `plan-and-execute → react` | Frontmatter confirmed (plan-and-execute.md v1.1, SHA 3fad5e4d) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `lats → react` | Frontmatter confirmed (lats.md v1.1, SHA a5fd566b) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `lats → tot` | Frontmatter confirmed (lats.md v1.1, SHA a5fd566b) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `lats → reflection` | Frontmatter confirmed (lats.md v1.1, SHA a5fd566b) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `reflection → cot` | Frontmatter confirmed (reflection.md v3.1, SHA 6bf2d512) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `tool-use-loop → react` | Frontmatter confirmed (tool-use-loop.md v1.1, SHA 9e4fcbf5) | ✅ NO CHANGE NEEDED |
| `agentic-rag → 03-memory/rag` | No prerequisites field existed | ➕ ADDED in this commit |

---

## Rejected Edges — Verification

| Edge | Checked File | Frontmatter State | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| `reflection → react` | reflection.md | `prerequisites: [09-agentic-patterns/cot]` only | ✅ NOT PRESENT — no removal needed |
| `memory-augmented → react` | memory-augmented.md | No `prerequisites` field | ✅ NOT PRESENT — no removal needed |

---

## Target Correction

| Edge | INITIATIVE-005 Target | Corrected Target | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| `agentic-rag → rag` | `09-agentic-patterns/rag` | `03-memory/rag` | agentic-rag.md Related Skills: `../03-memory/rag.md` |

---

## Files Changed

| File | Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| `skills/09-agentic-patterns/agentic-rag.md` | Added `prerequisites: [03-memory/rag]`; version v1 → v1.1 | Only file missing approved edge |
| `meta/INITIATIVE_006A_NORMALIZATION_REPORT.md` | Created | This report |

**Files NOT changed (already correct):**
- react.md, plan-and-execute.md, lats.md, reflection.md, tool-use-loop.md

**Files NOT changed (prohibited):**
- memory-augmented.md, critic-agent.md, rag-pipeline.md — no approved REQUIRES evidence
- schema/skill.schema.json — no schema modification permitted
- data/SKILLS_GRAPH.json — regenerated by build_graph.py workflow

---

## Validation Results

### Schema Validation
- `prerequisites` entries format: `03-memory/rag` — matches pattern `^[0-9]{2}-[a-z][a-z0-9-]*/[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$` ✅
- No new schema fields introduced ✅
- `additionalProperties: false` — no prohibited fields added ✅

### Dangling Prerequisite Audit
- `03-memory/rag` — node ID verified in SKILLS_GRAPH.json (node_count: 368, node present in graph) ✅
- All other prerequisite targets verified in prior audit ✅

### Self-Loop Audit
- No skill references itself as a prerequisite ✅

### Duplicate Prerequisite Audit
- lats.md: `[react, tot, reflection]` — all unique ✅
- All other files: single-entry or verified unique ✅

### Rejected Edge Audit
- `reflection → react`: NOT present in any file ✅
- `memory-augmented → react`: NOT present in any file ✅

## Graph Metrics

| Metric | Before (SKILLS_GRAPH.json, generated 2026-06-22T12:03:48Z) | After (pending rebuild) |
|---|---|---|
| `schema_version` | `3.1` | `3.1` (unchanged) |
| `node_count` | `368` | `368` (no new nodes) |
| `edge_count` | `774` | TBD after workflow run |
| `requires_count` | `1` | Expected ≥ 8 (7 pre-existing + 1 new) |

> Note: `requires_count` was `1` in the last generated graph because INITIATIVE-005 prerequisites were committed to `.md` files but `build_graph.py` had not been re-run. This rebuild will surface all 8 approved edges simultaneously.

## Prohibited Actions — Compliance

| Prohibition | Status |
|---|---|
| No `supports` field added | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| No `subskill_of` field added | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| No `alternative_to` field added | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| No schema version modified | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| No inferred dependencies added | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| No dependency language added to body text | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Only allowed files changed | ✅ COMPLIANT |

## REQUIRES_CONFIDENCE_SCORE (from INITIATIVE-006)

```
Approved REQUIRES edges:  7 (original proposals) + 1 (target-corrected agentic-rag)
Total proposed:           9
Score: 8/9 = 0.889
```

*Note: score improved from 0.778 to 0.889 because agentic-rag was approved with target correction, not rejected.*
