# Integration Health Triage
## Overview
An integration audit's `BROKEN` verdict is a **test result, not a fact**. Audits
probe one way; the runtime often reads another. Relay verdicts verbatim and you
send people chasing phantoms — which is how a monitoring system permanently
loses its reader's trust.
This skill governs the gap between "the audit said X" and "here is what actually
needs your attention."
Measured rate on a real run (one occasion, a fleet member's weekly Integration
Health Check): 7 items came back BROKEN/PARTIAL, and **3 of the 7 were audit
bugs, not outages.** Assume roughly a third of any verdict list is wrong until
verified.
## When to Use
- A live integration audit produced a verdict file (`verdicts.json`, `REPORT.md`)
or a weekly "Integration Health Check" cron delivered findings
- An owner reports "my automations aren't working" against a green status list
- Someone asks "what else is broken?" / "what needs my attention?"
- A cron job touching third-party services failed, hung, or went quiet
- An owner reports their agent keeps mentioning "still open" items, off-topic or
in the middle of unrelated work — see

agent's self-reported open items against live state (plugin mtime vs. gateway
