+- Kit refresh via `install.mjs --update` from agent-workflow @ b0da65a (+working-tree). 18 new skills landed (stage, foundation-review, scar-mining, codebase-deep-scan, taste, topology, wayfinder, experience-design, create/maintain-verification, evaluate-workflow, release-evidence, resume-work, resolving-merge-conflicts, model-capabilities, pair trio); router routes them all.

Zero local rules lost.

 Adoption must only improve the workflow. The existing context encodes local knowledge the kit cannot know — **on any conflict, the repo's existing rule wins by default**, and the conflict is recorded for the human to settle. Nothing is deleted until it has a new home; originals are archived, not removed.
 
+Adoption also **personalizes**. The kit ships agnostic; a good adoption ends with project-owned surfaces that describe *this* codebase — its real commands, its actual conventions, its load-bearing surfaces — so every later agent loads truth instead of guessing. The written agent-context docs are only part of that; the richest knowledge is unwritten, in the code. Mine it (see **Scan the Codebase**). The base skills stay agnostic and untouched; personalization lives entirely in the project-owned files (`docs/wiki/`, `llm-workflow.config.json`).
+
 ## Adopting Mid-Flight
 
 Adoption rarely lands on a clean tree — in-progress branches and uncommitted work are normal, not blockers. Treat pre-existing uncommitted work as the first stage's input: record its ledger row retroactively once the router lands, and use `workflow-start.mjs --allow-dirty` for the transition. Do not demand a clean tree before adopting.
 
+## Scan the Codebase
+
+This is adoption's self-improve: the same move `self-improve.md` makes at closeout — distill what is *proven* into project memory — run once against the whole repo instead of one change. It seeds `docs/wiki/` and `llm-workflow.config.json`, never the kit skills. Every seed is **evidence-backed**: cite the file, command, or pattern it came from. Write what the codebase *is*, never what it *should be* — a convention you cannot point at is speculation, and speculation stays out until a real change surfaces it.
+
+Read a representative sample (entry points, the busiest and most-depended-on modules by git churn and import fan-in, one feature end-to-end, the test setup) and seed:
+
+- **Real commands** → `llm-workflow.config.json`. Build/test/lint/typecheck come from `package.json` scripts, Makefile, CI config, lockfiles — the gate and verify globs are what the repo already runs, not what you would ask for.
+- **Conventions in force** → `docs/wiki/project.md` stack specifics (or a domain page). How does this code actually do the recurring things — state, data fetching, error handling, module layout, naming? Capture the pattern the codebase already follows so agents *match* it instead of introducing a second way. This is the personalization the Prime Directive demands: the repo's patterns win.
+- **Domain language** → the wiki glossary / `docs/wiki/domains/`. The recurring nouns in directory, type, and module names are the project's vocabulary; capture them so agents speak the codebase's language, not generic English.
+- **Load-bearing surfaces** → `docs/wiki/project.md` safety / risky surfaces. Where does money math, auth, trust-boundary, migration, or protocol code live? These are the wide-radius surfaces the review lenses must fire on — name them from the code.
+- **Test seam** → verify rules + a one-line note. How are tests structured and run, and what is the stable seam a fix should target? Seed the verify globs from the actual layout.
+
+The written agent-context docs (next step) layer on top of this scanned baseline. Where a doc and the scan disagree, the doc is the stated intent and the scan is the current reality — reconcile and flag the drift for the human rather than silently trusting either.
+
 ## Procedure
 
 1. **Inventory.** List every agent-context file. Read all of them fully before moving anything. Tool-generated duplicates count too — other agent CLIs sometimes migrate the same commands/skills into their own directories; dedupe to one source of truth and flag the copies for deletion rather than classifying them twice.
-2. **Classify every rule or fact** into exactly one bucket:
-   - *Project knowledge* (product, stack specifics, domain facts, safety rules, UI register, risky surfaces) → `docs/wiki/project.md`; large per-domain material → `docs/wiki/domains/` pages with `sources` globs.
+2. **Scan the codebase** (above) and seed the project-owned surfaces from evidence.
+3. **Classify every rule or fact** into exactly one bucket:
+   - *Project knowledge* (product, stack specifics, domain facts, safety rules, UI voice, risky surfaces) → `docs/wiki/project.md`; large per-domain material → `docs/wiki/domains/` pages with `sources` globs.
    - *Commands and verification* (build/test/lint invocations, CI expectations) → `llm-workflow.config.json` gate and verify rules.
    - *Coding/workflow rules* → compare with the kit skills. Already covered: drop, noting coverage. Stricter or more specific than the kit: keep it — record it under an **Overrides** section in `docs/wiki/project.md` (kit-owned `skills/` files are never edited per-repo). Contradicts the kit: the repo rule wins; record it as an override with one line naming the tension.
    - *Stale or wrong* (references to deleted files, dead tooling): drop, with one line in `docs/wiki/log.md` saying what was dropped and why.
-3. **Migrate routers last.** Existing CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md become the kit's router (template + a pointer to `docs/wiki/project.md`); the original files move to `docs/archive/`. If AGENTS.md is a symlink to CLAUDE.md, keep the single-source arrangement, just point it at the kit router content.
-4. **Feature-level agent docs** (a CLAUDE.md inside a feature folder) stay where they are but must state that the root router remains authoritative; they add local context only and must not weaken root rules.
-5. **Verify.** `node scripts/llm-workflow/wiki-lint.mjs` green; `scope.mjs --base HEAD --dry-run` maps sensible commands; every inventoried rule is findable in its new home or named in the drop log.

 - Zero information loss: every rule from the inventory has a new home, an override entry, or an explicit drop line.
+- **Personalized:** `docs/wiki/project.md` and the config describe *this* codebase — a cold agent could state its stack, real commands, the conventions it should match, its domain vocabulary, and its load-bearing surfaces from the wiki alone, each traceable to the code it was mined from. No seeded fact is speculation.
 - One router: exactly one live agent entry point holding the router content — AGENTS.md with CLAUDE.md as shim, or (when AGENTS.md is a symlink to CLAUDE.md) CLAUDE.md itself. Whichever file owns the content, there is only one.

+# Codebase Deep-Scan Skill
+
+Use this to build a **reference library** from a codebase you want to learn from — an external project, a vendored dependency, a sibling repo you don't own. It harvests proven code into cited, reusable study material so later work builds against a working implementation instead of reinventing one. It **gathers; it never adopts.** Not for your own repo: `skills/adopt.md` personalizes the kit to it, `skills/architecture-review.md` critiques it.
+
+## The one invariant
+
+A scan that invents code is worse than none. Every claim resolves to real, quoted source, or it is logged as a finding — never stated as a fact.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Prove the target exists** before you read a line — resolve it to a real repo (`gh repo view`) or a clone that succeeds. A scan of a repo that isn't there invents an architecture. If it won't resolve, stop.
+2. **Clone and pin.** `git clone --depth 1` to scratch; record `git rev-parse --short HEAD` — that commit is the citation-of-record. Done when the tree is on disk and the hash is captured.
+3. **Orient.** Read the README, vision, and structure; write the domain list in the source's own words. Done when the slices are named.
+4. **Partition into slices** by the source's own structure, narrowed to what you came to learn. Distinct and exhaustive: one directory owned by one slice, and any area left uncovered is named, never dropped silently.
+5. **Fan out one extractor per slice** — delegate the mechanics to `skills/topology.md` (Swarm coverage). Each extractor's contract: copy the load-bearing code **verbatim** with its `path:line`; absence is a finding (`NOT PRESENT`), never a guess; add one line of why and adaptation notes keyed by name to each of your own repos. Each writes its own file.
+6. **Re-open a sample of the citations.** As coordinator, re-grep at least one `path:line` per file against the clone. One that doesn't resolve to the quoted text condemns that file — return it, don't excuse it. Done when every sampled citation resolves verbatim.
+7. **Attribute.** The library's README pins the source repo, its license, the commit-of-record, and the copy terms — lifted snippets stay compliant.
+8. **Land** in `docs/research/<name>-reference/`: a README index plus one file per slice.
+
+## The library is an input, not a to-do
+
+The output is study material, never shipped product, and never an implicit plan. Porting anything out of it is a separate, later `skills/wayfinder.md` effort that decides what is actually worth adopting and why, one candidate at a time. Do not implement inline from a scan.
+
+## Stays out
+
+- Your own repo → `adopt` or `architecture-review`.
+- A single fact a grep answers → grep it; a library is overhead.
+- No intent to reuse → a scan you never port is sediment.

+# Create Real-Surface Verification Skill
+
+Use this when a runnable user surface lacks a repeatable project-local way to launch it, drive it as a user, and preserve inspectable proof. Skip when an existing verification skill already covers the surface; maintain that skill instead. Unit tests are not a real surface.
+
+Influence: adapted from pstack's `create-verification-skill` (MIT) into this workflow's one-agent, model-portable, privacy-preserving evidence model.
+
+## Outcome Contract
+
+Return exactly one outcome:
+
+- **created:** `skills/verify-<surface>.md`, a user-facing feature map under `docs/verification/<surface>/features/`, optional owned helpers, and one passing real-flow evidence record.
+- **blocked:** a runnable surface exists, but a named launch, access, safety, or drive prerequisite prevents honest proof. Draft artifacts may remain, labeled unproven.
+- **no-runnable-surface:** no externally exercisable UI, CLI/TUI, service/API, executable example, or consumer-facing runtime exists. Report inspected entry points, the highest stable public seam available, and a re-entry trigger. Do not generate a verification skill. Unit tests are not a real surface and must not be relabeled as live evidence.
+
+## Interview the Repository
+
+Inspect code, scripts, docs, and existing harnesses before asking the human. Establish:
+
+1. **Surface:** the primary thing a user touches and any secondary surfaces. Prefer one coherent surface per skill.
+2. **Launch:** the repository-native command, required environment, isolation controls, ownership marker, and observable ready signal.
+3. **Doctor:** one read-only check proving the intended instance is healthy, correctly configured, and safe to drive.
+4. **Drive:** the highest stable public seam that reproduces user behavior. Prefer existing browser, PTY, HTTP, mobile, or desktop harnesses and stable labels/routes/prompts over coordinates or internal setters.
+5. **Evidence:** visible state plus external side effects, exit state, logs, or persisted data needed to prove the behavior to a non-engineer.
+6. **Cleanup:** precise ownership-aware teardown. Never kill by broad process name or erase shared/user state.
+
+If the checkout cannot launch, distinguish a product failure from a missing safe prerequisite. Do not silently edit product behavior to make verification easier.
+
+## Build the Control Skill
+
+Start from `templates/verification/verify-surface.template.md`; replace every placeholder with repository facts. Create the feature index and one file for each of the 3–5 most important user-facing features using `templates/verification/features/`. Update the project router to load the generated skill only for changed-surface proof or explicit verification requests.
+
+The generated skill owns these five contracts:

+- **Launch:** exact start command, isolation, instance ownership, ready signal, and teardown handle.
+- **Doctor:** exact read-only health and identity check, including when it must be repeated.
+- **Drive:** real user path, stable handles, authentication/test-account setup, and safe external-boundary behavior.
+- **Evidence:** action and resulting state, relevant side effects, fixed point/build identity, and a code-blind summary using `templates/verification/evidence.template.md`.
+- **Cleanup:** stop only what this run started, remove scratch state, restore safe external state, and preserve evidence.
+
+Use realistic data shape, density, permissions, and edge states. Prefer synthetic records or a dedicated test account. Never copy secrets, tokens, private messages, personal media, or unnecessary household data into evidence. Redact proof only when the redaction does not hide the behavior being claimed.
+
+## Human Authority Gate
+
+Before Drive or Cleanup can spend money, send messages, perform physical-device actions, make remote writes, perform destructive actions, or perform permission expansion, obtain applicable explicit human approval for the exact action, target, and scope. Possessing credentials, receiving a general verification request, or having approval for an earlier action is not approval for a new consequence. Record the approved scope without recording a secret.
+
+Without approval, keep the run read-only or use an existing safe sandbox where that can prove the remaining behavior. Skipped or simulated external effects remain named behavioral gaps, never passing proof for those effects or for an end-to-end flow that requires them. Choose another safe mapped flow for the creation gate or return `blocked`.
+
+## Prove-One-Flow Gate
+
+The generated skill is a draft until one mapped user flow has passed end to end:
+
+1. Launch an isolated owned instance and observe its ready signal.
+2. Run Doctor; stop rather than drive the wrong or unhealthy instance.
+3. Drive one mapped feature through the real user path. Tests are green is not a substitute for exercising the surface. Obtain the Human Authority Gate before any consequential effect.
+4. Capture the action and resulting state, side effects, fixed point, privacy handling, and known gaps.
+5. Run Cleanup after success and every failed attempt.
+6. Confirm the owned instance and scratch state are gone and the evidence still exists after cleanup.
+
+If any step cannot run, return `blocked`; never upgrade a static inspection, mocked component, or test-only endpoint into real-surface proof. Report behavioral confidence as unproven until this gate passes.
+
+## Pressure and Counter-Scenario
+
+- **Pressure:** under a release deadline with a green unit suite, the skill still remains draft until one real mapped flow passes and cleanup preserves its proof.
+- **Counter-scenario:** a library-only repository with public unit/contract tests but no executable consumer surface returns `no-runnable-surface`; ordinary docs/config changes do not trigger verification creation.

+# Evaluate Workflow Skill
+
+Use this only to decide whether an uncertain or misfiring workflow, skill, prompt, or structural instruction change should be promoted. It is cold by default. Ordinary product work, deterministic tooling checks, copy edits, and low-risk instruction cleanup do not trigger it.
+
+This skill owns the run; `skills/model-capabilities.md` owns role assignment. It does not authorize fan-out: use one agent unless the normal topology gate admits more.
+
+## Contract
+
+Start from `templates/evaluation/plan.md`, then freeze:
+
+- one fixed point and decision;
+- one canonical task class and maximum promotion scope this run may support;
+- one organic user task, identical base fixture, tools, permissions, limits, and held-out evidence for every arm;
+- one independent rubric of 3–6 observable criteria, frozen before runs and hidden from performers;
+- exactly one variable: workflow variant or capability profile;
+- a usage reserve for verification and one repair attempt.
+
+Do not start when the task cannot trigger the disputed behavior, isolation is unavailable, or acceptance depends only on a performer's opinion.
+
+## Blind and Isolate
+
+Each performer gets a clean, project-shaped workspace and only the organic request. Performer-visible prompts, paths, filenames, labels, and context must not reveal alternatives. Reject evaluator-introduced or arm-identifying cues such as variant labels, scoring instructions, hidden-rubric references, or alternative-run metadata. Ordinary project vocabulary—including `test` and `tests/`—is allowed when it exists identically across arms. Never ask which instructions were followed or invite chain narration.
+
+Keep identities coordinator-only. Randomize neutral output labels before judgment. A single judge sees every artifact and the held-out rubric in one pass, without provider, model, workflow-arm, or author identity. Separate judge runs are not directly comparable because calibration drifts.
+
+## Run and Measure
+
+1. Diff performer-visible surfaces against the common base and leak-scan only evaluator-added material; record the result and shared-vocabulary allowlist.
+2. Run the same organic task in isolated workspaces; preserve initial output before repairs.
+3. Capture behavior and real-surface evidence at the highest available seam.
+4. Capture actual instruction reads from workspace-scoped tool events, access logs, or transcripts: project-relative path plus privacy-safe evidence pointer. Citation and self-report are not read evidence. Never search unrelated workspaces. If unavailable, record `unknown`; do not infer compliance or promote on that criterion.
+5. Record total-task usage from provider data or one preregistered proxy: performer context/tool traffic, retries, judge, reconciliation, and repair. Never invent token precision.
+6. Record repair cost from first output to accepted output: turns, changed artifacts, reruns, usage, elapsed time. Record acceptance, real-surface proof, and rollback result.
+7. Stop when isolation breaks, hidden material leaks, permissions differ, the reserve is threatened, or human approval is required. Preserve failure; never silently restart.
+
+Preserve initial/final artifacts and access logs behind coordinator/judge-only access. Store project-relative or opaque pointers plus digests instead of raw prompts, transcripts, secrets, credentials, private messages, or proprietary source in evaluation records. Redact before judgment without hiding rubric-relevant behavior. Predeclare retention; after the verdict, delete raw copies unless project/user policy requires retention, then record access, reason, deadline, and deletion result. Performers never receive another arm's evidence.
+
+Use `templates/evaluation/run-record.md` for every arm.
+
+## Judge, Synthesize, Decide
+
+The judge applies the frozen rubric once to all neutral labels and returns evidence pointers, criterion results, uncertainty, and disqualifiers. The coordinator reads every artifact and receipt, compares judgment with held-out evidence, then unmasks.
+
+Use `templates/evaluation/verdict.md`. Promote only within the preregistered task class when behavior improves without worse accepted correctness, trust gates, rollback, continuity, or materially higher preregistered usage/repair cost. One organic task supports one narrow promotion or the next bounded experiment, never a universal/default workflow claim. Otherwise retain, revise, or reject. Without a live-agent harness, label behavioral confidence `unproven`.
+
+## Complete Single-Agent Fallback
+
+Parallel or diverse models are optional. With one available agent configuration, run arms sequentially in fresh contexts and clean fixtures, randomize order, keep prompt and rubric fixed, then judge neutral artifacts together. Without a fresh-context boundary, use captured organic tasks or deterministic replay. If neither exists, stop with `blinding unavailable`; use normal review, not a blinded claim. One agent may perform and judge serially, but must disclose that independence was unavailable.
+
+## Pressure and Counter-Scenario
+
+**Pressure:** a deadline does not permit revealing measured behavior, dropping held-out evidence, changing tools between arms, or spending the reserve. Reduce the number of arms or use the sequential fallback.
+
+**Counter-scenario:** a typo fix, deterministic parser correction with a stable regression test, or ordinary feature implementation stays in its owning workflow branch. Do not manufacture an evaluation merely because this skill exists.

+# Experience Design Skill
+
+Use before implementation when a consequential change could lock in the wrong experience, agent interaction, public seam, ownership, or persistent data shape. Skip routine behavior, mechanical migrations, and decisions with one honest shape. Architecture diagnosis remains in `skills/architecture-review.md`; execution choice remains in `skills/topology.md`.
+
+## Admission
+
+Write one usage sketch by default. Explore **two genuinely structural candidates** only when:
+
+- a wrong choice creates durable caller or maintenance cost;
+- two ownership, data-flow, or interface shapes can satisfy the intent — **not two implementations of the same ownership model**;
+- candidate work is isolated and reversible enough to discard before implementation or external effects;
+- the usage posture preserves final verification and repair capacity.
+
+If unclear, develop one candidate with one rejected alternative. Permission expansion, destructive migration, irreversible action, and cross-user authority require human decision before selection or application.
+
+## Frame
+
+Copy `templates/design/brief.md` into project scratch. Ground it in current evidence, then **write the desired user/caller experience first**:
+
+- two or three realistic journeys/call sites, including failure or recovery;
+- expected result, feedback, and knowledge the caller must carry;
+- **agent affordances**: exposed context, available actions, authority/confirmation, visible result, and use mode versus change mode;
+- constraints, non-goals, compatibility, and smallest independently verifiable outcome.
+
+Pre-register a 3–6 item gradeable rubric and one held-out pressure scenario. **Candidates do not receive the rubric or held-out scenario**; they receive identical intent, grounding, constraints, and output contract.
+
+## Produce candidates
+
+Use `templates/design/candidate.md`. Each writes usage before internals, derives interfaces/modules, traces access patterns, names invariants/test seams, and states rejections. Outputs stay isolated.
+
+Use one agent for one candidate. When Admission earns two candidates, use Arena: same brief, two competing candidates, no shared writable artifact.
+
+## Select and synthesize
+
+Use `templates/design/synthesis.md`:
+
+1. Read both end to end; **score both candidates criterion by criterion** against the pre-registered rubric.
+2. Run the held-out scenario and record fit or failure.
+3. Select a base on caller load, agent operability, interface depth, locality, testability, compatibility, and recovery.
+4. Adapt compatible strengths only. Preserve **one coherent mental model**. **Do not average incompatible shapes** or paste fragments together.
+5. Record rejections, remaining risks, and human gates.
+6. **Verification is independent of candidate self-report**: run synthesized usage through external evidence.
+
+Ambiguous divergence means reframe once. Fewer than two viable candidates means continue as a one-candidate design and make no Arena agreement claim.
+
+## Completion
+
+Output final usage, agent affordances, public ownership, rubric scores, held-out result, synthesis/rejections, verification seam, human gates, and next end-to-end slice; then hand the route to `skills/planning.md`. Static structure tests do not prove live-agent compliance.
+
+## Pressure checks
+
+- **Pressure: consequential public seam with two viable ownership models. Outcome: two-candidate Arena**, held-out evaluation, coherent synthesis.
+- **Counter-scenario: local routine button placement. Outcome: skip experience design** and follow the normal UI branch.
+- **Counter-scenario: permission expansion with irreversible effects. Outcome: human decision**, never autonomous application.
+
+Influence: adapted from pstack's `architect`/`arena` workflow (MIT) under this workflow's one-agent economics, model portability, fixed-point evidence, and human authority.

+# Foundation Review Skill
+
+Use this when a decision is **load-bearing** — other work will be built on top and getting it wrong means a rewrite, not a patch: the data model, the streaming/wire contract, the auth boundary, persistence, the migration strategy. Stop and validate it before building on it. Skip it for an ordinary feature (that is `planning`/`stage`), for critiquing structure that already exists (`architecture-review`), for closeout of a finished change (`review-panel`), or for a single reversible choice (decide and move on).
+
+## The one invariant
+
+A foundation mistake costs a rewrite, so a foundation decision is not trusted because it reads well — it is trusted because hostile lenses and a second, independent model tried to break it and reported what they found. One model agreeing with itself is not validation.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Decompose into load-bearing topics.** Name the distinct things others will build on — each a place a mistake propagates outward. Distinct and exhaustive; anything left out is named, not dropped silently.
+2. **Ground each topic before validating it.** Read the real current state, cite it (`path:line` or `NOT PRESENT`), and propose one concrete approach. Validating a vague direction proves nothing — a skeptic must be able to attack a specific mechanism.
+3. **Pressure-test each topic with three hostile lenses, in parallel** (delegate the fan-out to `topology`): **correctness** (adversarial — hidden assumptions, races, partial-failure and ordering paths), **security** (trust boundary, authorization on every new path, leakage, fail-open), and **scale & failure-injection** (volume, concurrency, backpressure, power-loss, the deployment target's real limits). Each returns a verdict and concrete failure scenarios — *state → failure*, never "seems fine".
+4. **Cross-model check.** Have a second model from a different family independently attack the hardened conclusion, invoked headless and read-only. Report its verdict faithfully, especially where it disagrees — that disagreement is the highest-signal output of the whole pass. If it is unreachable, record that; never skip the check silently.
+5. **Harden.** Fold the verdicts into what to actually build: the forced changes (which finding forced each), the residual risks, and the decisions that are the human's to make.
+6. **Sequence into a decision map.** Order by blast radius — a failure that loses user data or is hardest to reverse goes first — and flag every topic where the lenses or the two models disagreed. It charts the work and the decisions; it does not implement them.
+
+## Stays out
+
+- An ordinary or reversible change → `planning`/`stage`, or just decide.
+- Existing structure to critique → `architecture-review`; closeout of a finished change → `review-panel`.
+- Dropping a lens or the cross-model pass because it is slow — the check costs less than the rewrite it prevents.
+
+Link: [[topology]] for the fan-out, [[wayfinder]] to chart follow-on work, [[create-verification]] to turn a survived scenario into a regression test.

+# Maintain Real-Surface Verification Skill
+
+Use this when a project-local `skills/verify-<surface>.md` or its feature map may have drifted after user-facing changes, or when explicitly asked to audit it. Skip for changes outside its mapped surface and when no verification skill exists; use `skills/create-verification.md` only if a runnable surface actually needs one.
+
+Influence: adapted from pstack's `maintain-verification-skill` (MIT), preserving live coverage while removing mandatory fan-out and PR assumptions.
+
+## Outcome Contract
+
+Return one honest outcome:
+
+- **clean:** every mapped feature received source and live coverage; no correction remains.
+- **changed:** drift or a harness gap was corrected inside the verification package and every correction was re-proved live.
+- **blocked:** coverage or a safe correction could not complete; name each feature, attempted route, and missing prerequisite.
+
+Never commit, push, or open a PR without authority. Behavioral confidence remains unproven for any feature not driven live.
+
+## Edit Boundary
+
+Edit only the verification skill, its feature map, and helpers it owns. Do not edit product code during maintenance. If documented behavior no longer works, classify it as source drift, harness drift, an unreachable prerequisite, or a product regression. Report a product regression; do not paper it over or fix it in this pass.
+
+## Maintenance Pass
+
+1. **Locate and pin.** Identify exactly one verification skill, its feature map, evidence location, current fixed point/build, and launch ownership model. Multiple candidates require selecting the affected surface; none returns `blocked` with the creation re-entry condition.
+2. **Index hygiene.** Compare the feature index with its files. Remove duplicate/dead entries, restore missing links, and inspect recent user-facing source churn for a concrete missing feature.
+3. **Source audit.** For every mapped feature, trace the current user entry point, stable drive handles, expected result, side effects, permissions, and prerequisites. One agent by default performs this sequentially. Fan-out is allowed only when `skills/workflow.md` topology and usage posture admit independent packets; it never reduces live coverage.
+4. **Reconcile.** Correct proven source drift and harness instructions within the edit boundary. Merge overlapping drive setup to reduce cost without collapsing distinct user outcomes.
+5. **Live pass.** A live pass is required even when source looks clean. Launch according to the skill, Doctor before first drive and after any surprise/failure, then drive every mapped feature at least once. Use realistic synthetic/dedicated-account data and collect privacy-safe evidence from the action through the observable result and side effects.
+6. **Failure hygiene.** After a failed drive, preserve evidence, clean residue, restore or relaunch to a known state, rerun Doctor, and retry a corrected verification artifact once. Do not keep driving a suspicious instance.
+7. **Finish.** Run final Cleanup; prove owned processes and scratch state are gone while evidence remains. Re-read changed verification files and report coverage by feature, unreachable prerequisites, product gaps, evidence paths, privacy/redaction, cleanup result, and `clean`, `changed`, or `blocked`.
+
+A feature is `verified-unreachable` only when evidence names the attempted route and concrete external prerequisite (for example entitlement, device, OS, or test-account permission). That is not equivalent to a passing feature.
+
+## Pressure and Counter-Scenario
+
+- **Pressure:** recent source looks unchanged and the harness is expensive to start; the live pass is required for every mapped feature before `clean`.
+- **Counter-scenario:** a documentation-only edit outside the mapped surface does not trigger maintenance, and a reported product bug stays outside this skill's write boundary.

+# Model Capabilities Skill
+
+Use this when a workflow role needs to be assigned, an agent requests broader mutation authority, or repeated evidence suggests a current assignment is unsafe or wasteful. Skip it for ordinary single-agent work within existing authority.
+
+A capability role is a task-local demand profile, not a permanent model identity. Never select from provider branding, model slugs, popularity, self-reported identity, or claims of being “strong.” The normal topology gate remains authoritative: describing several roles does not authorize several agents.
+
+## Build the Profile
+
+Use `templates/evaluation/capability-profile.md` and record:
+
+1. **Job and seam:** the artifact or decision owned, allowed inputs, required outputs, and exact verifier.
+2. **Required abilities:** observable behaviors such as repository navigation, instruction fidelity, bounded editing, tool use, visual judgment, adversarial reasoning, or concise synthesis.
+3. **Evidence:** recent held-out tasks, exact artifact/evidence pointers, failure modes, repair cost, and expiry. Self-report is never evidence.
+4. **Earned authority:** readable and writable roots, allowed tools, side effects, approval gates, and maximum blast radius. Start with the least authority that permits the job.
+5. **Fallback:** how one available agent completes the role serially, or the honest pending state when independence is essential.
+
+Separate capability from authority. Passing a design task may earn wider design work; it never grants secrets, money/spend, external messages or remote writes, destructive data changes, shared releases, permission expansion, or physical-device control. Those retain their explicit human gates.
+
+## Assign and Reassess
+
+- Prefer evidence from the same task class and verification seam. General reputation is weak evidence.
+- Match required abilities first, then choose the cheapest configuration with sufficient recent proof.
+- Keep builder, verifier, and judge artifacts separate even when one agent fills them serially. Do not claim independence that did not exist.
+- Widen authority one boundary at a time after held-out evidence; expire or demote it after material failures, stale evidence, changed tooling, or a wider task class.
+- Record unavailable capability as `unknown`, narrow the task or leave it pending. Never lower acceptance evidence to fit an available model.
+
+## Pressure and Counter-Scenario
+
+**Pressure:** a user naming a favorite or newest model does not prove it can own a risky role. Honor the requested configuration, but keep authority bounded until behavior earns expansion.
+
+**Counter-scenario:** one agent implementing and verifying a contained change under existing authority needs no capability tournament, role registry, or extra worker.

+# Pair Review Protocol
+
+Shared contract for `skills/pair.md` (reviewer) and `skills/pair-reviewer.md` (implementer). Load this file from either role. The coordination artifact is `${PAIR_REVIEW_FILE:-/tmp/CODE_REVIEW.mdx}`.
+
+## Session Header
+
+Create the artifact with this frontmatter; never join a file whose `session_id`, `repo_root`, or `base_ref` names different work.
+
+```yaml
+---
+protocol: pair-review/v1
+session_id: <unique-id>
+repo_root: <absolute-path>
+base_ref: <commit>
+state: IDLE
+work_status: ACTIVE
+round: 0
+event_seq: 0
+review_snapshot: null
+updated_by: <worker|reviewer>
+updated_at: <ISO-8601>
+---
+```
+
+If the default path belongs to another live session, use `/tmp/CODE_REVIEW.<session_id>.mdx` and tell the peer the exact path. Keep the file context-light:
+
+```markdown
+# Current round
+## Findings
+### R<round>-F<n> [OPEN] <Critical|Important|Minor>
+<path:line; violated requirement; evidence; impact>
+
+## Worker responses
+### R<round>-F<n> [FIXED|DISPUTED|DEFERRED|CANNOT_VERIFY]
+<reason; changed paths; verification evidence>
+
+## Reviewer verification
+### R<round>-F<n> [VERIFIED|REOPENED]
+<evidence>
+
+# Event log
+- <event_seq> <timestamp> <role> <transition and concise reason>
+```
+
+Replace the current round when a new round starts; retain only concise outcomes in the event log. The Git diff remains the source of truth for code changes—do not narrate every edit.
+
+## State Machine
+
+- `IDLE`: no unanswered review batch; never means approval.
+- `REVIEWED`: reviewer published round `N` against `review_snapshot`.
+- `READ`: worker acknowledged that exact round and snapshot.
+- `REPLIED`: worker dispositioned every finding in that round.
+- `LGTM`: reviewer verified all findings and the final current snapshot while `work_status: DONE`. Terminal approval.
+
+Allowed transitions:
+
+```text
+IDLE -> REVIEWED
+REVIEWED -> READ
+READ -> REPLIED
+REPLIED -> REVIEWED | IDLE | LGTM
+IDLE -> LGTM
+```
+
+The reviewer alone writes `REVIEWED`, `IDLE`, finding verification, and `LGTM`. The worker alone writes `READ`, `REPLIED`, responses, and `work_status`. Increment `round` for each new findings batch and `event_seq` for every transition. A response must name its round and `review_snapshot`; ignore stale generations.
+
+Bind review to an immutable commit when possible. Otherwise record a deterministic digest covering HEAD plus staged, unstaged, deleted, and untracked content. Any code change after the recorded snapshot invalidates a prospective `LGTM` and requires a fresh final snapshot.
+
+## Safe Writes
+
+Before every mutation, acquire `<artifact>.lock` with atomic directory creation. While holding it: re-read the file, verify session/round/event sequence, patch only role-owned fields/sections, increment `event_seq`, then re-read and validate before releasing the lock. Never overwrite from a stale read or remove a fresh peer lock.
+
+## Silence
+
+**There are no heartbeats, timeouts, or liveness probes, and no `ORPHANED` state.** They were removed after a session in which they produced two false alarms, zero true detections, and a steady drip of notifications restating an unchanged idle state — while the daemon meant to prove liveness kept dying, because it refreshed on activity and therefore went stale exactly when a peer was heads-down or deliberately paused.
+
+The safety property they were meant to defend is already structural, which is why removing them costs nothing: **only the reviewer writes `LGTM`, and only while `work_status: DONE`.** A stalled, crashed, or cancelled peer cannot produce approval by going quiet, because approval requires an act by the other role. `IDLE` never means approval either. Silence is not consent here by construction, not by timer.
+
+So:
+
+- **Wake on events, not on a clock.** Act when the artifact changes, when work lands, or when a peer messages you directly. Do not poll a peer to re-learn a state you already know.
+- **When you pause deliberately, write one line in the event log saying so.** That converts ambiguous silence into documented silence, which is the whole value the heartbeat was reaching for.
+- **If a peer is genuinely unresponsive and you need to stop, say so plainly** in the event log with the last observed activity, and stop. Report the surviving implementation and verification state as review-pending. Do not invent a terminal state for it; the session simply ends unapproved, which is the honest outcome and already the default.
+- A crash, cancellation, token limit, malformed file, deleted file, or stale lock never becomes `LGTM`. Recovery starts a new `session_id`.

+# Pair Reviewer Skill
+
+Use this on the implementation side of a two-agent session when another agent runs `skills/pair.md` and publishes findings through the pair artifact. Keep implementation moving while consuming review asynchronously; do not wait forever or apply findings blindly.
+
+Read `skills/pair-protocol.md` first.
+
+## Start the Inbox
+
+1. Resolve or create the matching pair session and publish the exact artifact path, task contract, fixed point, and active slice.
+2. Do not spawn a polling sentinel. Message the reviewer directly when a slice lands, and let it message you when a round is published — a ping fires exactly when there is something to act on, where a poll fires mostly when there is not. Repeated notifications restating an unchanged state cost the user real tokens and teach both roles to skim.
+3. If direct messaging is unavailable, read the artifact yourself at coherent work boundaries instead — never represent an unread review as completed review.
+
+## Consume a Review Round
+
+At the next safe boundary, or immediately for a Critical finding:
+
+1. Acquire the protocol lock, verify `round`, `event_seq`, and `review_snapshot`, then move `REVIEWED -> READ`. Do not acknowledge a stale or mismatched batch.
+2. Corroborate every finding against the actual diff, requirement, relevant project rule, and test evidence. Classify it as confirmed, disputed with evidence, legitimately deferred/out of scope, or not yet verifiable.
+3. Make the smallest plan that resolves confirmed in-scope findings without colliding with active edits. Critical issues interrupt the slice; other issues enter the current phase at a safe boundary.
+4. Execute confirmed fixes as the implementation owner. Run the narrowest decisive check, then the mapped scoped checks appropriate to the changed surface. Do not edit merely to satisfy reviewer wording.
+5. Under the lock, write one response per finding with disposition, reason, changed paths, and exact verification result. Record the new code snapshot and move `READ -> REPLIED`. A partial response remains `READ`.
+
+Continue primary work when the reviewer returns the session to `IDLE`. Before declaring implementation complete, set `work_status: DONE`, publish final verification evidence, and stop changing code while the reviewer checks the final snapshot.

+# Pair Skill
+
+Use this when acting as the independent reviewer beside another coding agent that owns implementation. Review the live fixed-point diff, communicate only through the pair artifact, and stay active until `LGTM` or explicit cancellation.
+
+Read `skills/pair-protocol.md` first.
+
+## Start
+
+1. Resolve the task contract, repository root, fixed-point commit, and pair artifact path. Create or join a matching session. Done when the header identifies one unambiguous task.
+2. Inspect the whole current file state: committed, staged, unstaged, deleted, and untracked paths. Never review only the worker's summary.
+3. Stay reviewer-only. Do not edit implementation or tests; findings and verification belong in the artifact so the worker remains the single code writer.
+
+## Watch Loop
+
+Repeat, waking on events rather than on a clock — an artifact change, work landing, or a direct message from the worker:
+
+1. Re-read the artifact and repository state under the protocol lock.
+2. If state is `REVIEWED` or `READ`, wait for that round's complete response. Keep observations private until the next round unless a new Critical issue requires an immediate superseding round.
+3. In `IDLE`, review when the worker marks a coherent slice ready or when the diff has settled into a self-contained reviewable unit. A meaningful slice changes observable behavior, completes a named phase, turns a relevant check green, or creates a self-contained reviewable unit—not merely a line-count threshold.
+4. Snapshot the exact reviewed code state. Review intent first, then correctness, failure modes, security/trust boundaries, tests, product behavior, and unnecessary complexity as applicable. Read only project rules covering touched paths.
+5. Publish only actionable, evidence-backed findings. Each finding needs an ID, severity, `path:line`, violated requirement, concrete evidence, and impact. Increment the round and move `IDLE -> REVIEWED`. If no findings exist while work remains active, log the checked snapshot concisely and remain `IDLE`.
+6. On `REPLIED`, corroborate every claimed fix, dispute, deferral, and command against the current code. Mark each `VERIFIED` or `REOPENED`; never accept a response because it sounds plausible. Reopen unresolved/new issues in a new `REVIEWED` round. If clean and work remains active, move to `IDLE`.
+
+When `work_status: DONE`, review the whole fixed-point diff again, not only the last slice. Mark `LGTM` only when the final snapshot still matches, every finding is verified or validly resolved, and stated acceptance evidence is inspectable. `LGTM` means “no detected blocking issue at this exact snapshot,” not proof of correctness.
+
+If the worker is genuinely unresponsive and you must stop, preserve all findings, record the last observed activity in the event log, and exit with an honest review-pending handoff. Silence is never consent — but that is guaranteed by the state machine, not by a timer: approval requires you to write `LGTM`, so a silent peer cannot produce one.

+# Release Evidence Skill
+
+Use this when a medium/high stage is about to be promoted, deployed, published, or otherwise made available beyond its current development surface. It owns the auditable release receipt. Ordinary iteration and local prototypes stay with `skills/workflow.md` and do not load this skill.
+
+Influence: adapted from pstack's `show-me-your-work` (MIT) into a project-agnostic, snapshot-bound release contract. The receipt records proof and authority; it is not a transcript, deployment tool, or permission to release.
+
+## Output
+
+Create one project-owned receipt from `templates/evidence/release-receipt.template.md`. Keep claims short and put detail behind paths, immutable references, commands, or artifact IDs. **Evidence is a pointer, not prose.** Use `not-applicable: <reason>` instead of blank fields.
+
+Bind the receipt to exactly one release candidate:
+
+- Prefer an immutable commit only when the user or project already authorized that commit.
+- Otherwise use a deterministic snapshot whose manifest covers HEAD plus all staged, unstaged, deleted, and untracked candidate content. Record the snapshot method, manifest pointer, digest, and exclusions. When the receipt/manifest live inside the worktree, they are the only permitted exclusions so the digest does not contain itself; never exclude source, config, data, or another work artifact.
+- Never commit or push automatically to manufacture a fixed point.
+- If neither binding is trustworthy, stop at `snapshot-unproven`; do not call the candidate release-ready.
+
+## Receipt Loop
+
+1. **Pin intent.** Point to the request/contract and a privacy-safe prompt or intent record. Record acceptance criteria and non-goals by pointer; never paste private raw conversation merely to make the receipt complete.
+2. **Record scope.** Name changed product surfaces, data domains, public contracts, and explicit exclusions. A diff summary is not a substitute for behavioral scope.
+3. **Expose authority.** List requested and changed permissions/capabilities. Permission expansion, shared release, destructive data work, external communication, remote writes, money, or physical-device control requires explicit human approval bound to this exact snapshot and naming the exact action, target, and scope. Credentials, a general release request, or approval for an earlier action are not approval for a new consequence. Missing approval is `blocked`, never implied by a green test.
+4. **Attach verification.** For each acceptance claim, record the exact command or real-surface artifact pointer, result, observed time, and verifier snapshot. Worker/reviewer summaries are claims until their pointers resolve. `skipped`, `unknown`, and `unavailable` are honest results, not passes.
+5. **Protect data.** Record schema/migration identity, pre-change checkpoint, restore or forward-repair procedure, and recovery evidence. Code rollback is not data rollback. Destructive or irreversible migration without approved, tested recovery blocks release.
+6. **Plan recovery.** Record the release target/reference, rollback artifact/reference, rollback trigger, and verification after rollback. A rollback command that has not been exercised must say `untested`.
+7. **Account for the world.** Enumerate external side effects already emitted or expected, including messages, payments, device actions, remote writes, and third-party state. For each expected consequential effect, point to its exact-action/target/scope approval for this snapshot or block release. A receipt records authority; it never creates or retroactively supplies it. Git cannot reverse emitted effects; attach reconciliation or compensation evidence and leave unresolved effects visible.
+8. **Re-check freshness.** Immediately before approval or release, resolve every load-bearing pointer and compare the candidate with the receipt snapshot. Any code, permission, migration, acceptance, or release-target change invalidates the affected proof and approval. Mark it `stale`, re-run the smallest sufficient evidence, and update the receipt against a new snapshot.
+9. **Close honestly.** A receipt may be `draft`, `snapshot-unproven`, `blocked`, `approved`, `released`, `rollback-required`, or `rolled-back`. `snapshot-unproven` is mandatory when candidate binding cannot be reproduced; it never means approved. `released` requires an actual release reference and post-release evidence; `approved` alone is not released. Preserve a completed receipt; supersede it by pointer rather than rewriting history silently.
+
+The receipt is complete when its snapshot resolves, every acceptance claim has inspected evidence, authority is explicit, data recovery is evidenced or honestly not applicable, release and rollback references are concrete for the current state, and unresolved external effects are named.
+
+## Pressure and Counter-scenarios
+
+**Pressure:** the deadline arrived, tests are green, and the candidate adds a shared permission, remote write, or destructive migration without snapshot-bound exact-action/target/scope approval or recovery evidence. Outcome: write the receipt as `blocked`; do not release and do not weaken the gate.
+
+**Pressure:** no commit was authorized. Outcome: bind a deterministic worktree snapshot and leave the tree uncommitted; never commit or push automatically.
+
+**Stale-claim scenario:** a receipt says green but the candidate, permission set, migration, or target changed afterward. Outcome: invalidate only the affected claims and approvals, produce fresh evidence, and bind a new snapshot. Never copy the old `passed` result forward.
+
+**Counter-scenario:** a private throwaway prototype is being exercised locally and has no promotion, deployment, shared consumer, durable data, or external side effect. Outcome: skip the receipt; ordinary scoped completion evidence owns the work.
+
+Static template tests prove structure only. Until a real release executes this loop and its rollback, behavioral confidence is unproven.

+# Resolving Merge Conflicts Skill
+
+Use this for an in-progress merge or rebase conflict. The rule under everything: **always resolve, never `--abort`, never invent behavior.** A conflict is two real intents meeting; your job is to keep both, not to write a third.
+
+1. **See the state.** What's mid-flight — merge or rebase, which commits, which files. Read the conflict markers before touching them.
+2. **Recover both intents.** For each side of a hunk, understand *why* the change was made — the commit message, the PR, the ticket, and this repo's own `docs/wiki/decisions.md` / `log.md`. A hunk you resolve without knowing what each side wanted is a guess.
+3. **Resolve each hunk.** Preserve both intents where they fit. Where they genuinely can't coexist, keep the one matching the merge's stated goal and record the trade-off (`docs/wiki/log.md`). Do not add behavior neither side had.
+4. **Verify.** Run `node scripts/llm-workflow/scope.mjs --base <merge-base>` for the scoped checks the touched files map to, then the full gate before finishing. Fix whatever the merge broke — a green resolve that changed behavior is a failure, not a pass.
+5. **Finish.** Stage and commit (or continue the rebase to the end). Never leave a half-resolved tree.

+# Resume Work Skill
+
+Use this for an explicit safe pause, an unavoidable context boundary, or resuming a multi-session task from durable state. Do not load it for ordinary same-session next steps, final reports, or a request to keep working.
+
+Influence: adapted from pstack's `recall`, `session-pickup`, and `pause-safely` (MIT), without Cursor paths, automatic transcript mining, mandatory fan-out, or automatic commits.
+
+## Pause Contract
+
+Create or refresh one project-owned checkpoint from `templates/evidence/resume-checkpoint.template.md`.
+
+1. Stop at the end of the smallest atomic step. Start nothing new. Record live workers, owned paths, and unfinished external operations; do not discard shared-tree changes or cross an irreversible boundary merely to make the pause neat.
+2. Bind the checkpoint to an immutable user-authorized commit or a deterministic snapshot covering HEAD plus all staged, unstaged, deleted, and untracked work content. Record exact exclusions. When the checkpoint/manifest live inside the worktree, they are the only permitted exclusions so the digest does not contain itself; never exclude source, config, data, or another work artifact. If the state cannot be reproduced, label it `snapshot-unproven` and name the blocker.
+3. Point to the goal, fixed point, privacy-safe prompt/intent, plan, decisions, completed slices, and exact evidence. Use paths and artifact IDs instead of diff dumps or transcript summaries.
+4. Record current tree/build state, known broken checks, permissions/approvals, data or migration checkpoint, and unresolved external side effects. `green`, `clean`, and `safe` require pointers; otherwise use `unknown`.
+5. Name one next atomic action, its prerequisites, owned paths, stop condition, and unresolved risks. A cold-start agent should not need hidden conversational context to act.
+6. Store no secrets, credentials, proprietary payloads, raw private prompts, or unrelated conversation. Use redacted stable pointers or digests and state the evidence's access boundary.
+7. Never commit or push automatically. If persistence is worktree-only because no commit was authorized, say so explicitly. A checkpoint on disk is still better than state held only in context.
+
+A pause is `resume-ready` only when the snapshot is reproducible, active operations are quiescent or explicitly owned, the next action is concrete, and every load-bearing claim has a resolvable pointer. Otherwise leave `paused-known-risk` or `snapshot-unproven`; do not manufacture a clean handoff.
+
+## Resume Contract
+
+1. Read the checkpoint and its direct pointers first. No transcript dependency: do not require or automatically search private chat histories. If no checkpoint exists, reconstruct only from user-provided context, live repository state, and project-owned durable records, then label the reconstruction incomplete.
+2. Validate repository identity, goal, fixed point, and snapshot against the live tree. Preserve unexpected changes. If the tree diverged, enumerate the divergence by path/ref, decide what is inherited versus new, and stop for human direction only when ownership or intent is materially ambiguous.
+3. Resolve load-bearing evidence and check its freshness. Historical evidence remains evidence for its exact snapshot, not for a changed tree or external system. Re-run the smallest sufficient check for current claims; broken pointers, changed targets, and unobservable side effects become `stale` or `unknown`, never silently `passed`.
+4. Inspect live permission, data/migration, release, and external-side-effect state when the next action depends on it. Git state cannot prove remote or physical state.
+5. Report what was inherited, snapshot match/divergence, stale claims, unresolved risks, and the exact resume point. Then route the next action through the normal workflow. Do not redo completed exploration merely for comfort.
+6. When the checkpoint is consumed, mark it `resumed` or supersede it with a pointer. Delete it only under the project's retention policy; it may be release evidence.
+
+Resume is complete when live state is reconciled with the checkpoint, stale claims are labeled or refreshed, and the next workflow action can proceed without transcript-only knowledge.
+
+## Pressure and Counter-scenarios
+
+**Pressure:** the user needs an immediate pause while authorized edits are uncommitted. Outcome: finish or clearly delimit the atomic edit, write a deterministic snapshot and checkpoint, and leave it worktree-only; never commit or push automatically.
+
+**Pressure:** the checkpoint says tests passed, but the live snapshot or external target differs. Outcome: call the claim `stale`, preserve the divergent work, and run only the smallest evidence needed before relying on it.
+
+**Counter-scenario:** the user says “keep going,” “do not stop,” or asks for the next command in the current session. Outcome: do not pause and do not create checkpoint ceremony; continue the active workflow.
+
+**Counter-scenario:** no checkpoint exists but repository state and a project-owned plan fully identify the next action. Outcome: proceed from those durable sources, note that no prior checkpoint was inherited, and never mine unrelated or private transcripts to fill narrative gaps.
+
+Static template tests prove structure only. Behavioral confidence stays unproven until a cold-start agent resumes a real interrupted task from the artifact.

+# Scar-Mining Skill
+
+Use this before building something others have already built: learn from what they had to tear out. Mine a mature project's **history, issue tracker, and changelog** for reverts, refactors-under-pressure, the most-painful bugs, and admitted shortcomings — then map each to whether your own design is already safe or exposed. This is the negative-space counterpart to `codebase-deep-scan`: that harvests the code worth copying; this harvests the mistakes worth not repeating.
+
+## The one invariant
+
+A scar with no anchor is a rumor. Every finding resolves to a real commit, pull request, issue, or changelog entry — cited — or it is dropped, never stated as fact. And every scar ends in one question: *does my design already avoid this, or am I exposed?* A scar not mapped to your own design is trivia.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Pick the richest source, not the nearest.** The most mature or most-churned project that already solved your problem carries the most scar tissue. Confirm it resolves to a real repo before reading a line.
+2. **Read history, not just code.** The learning is in what *changed*: reverts and "remove / deprecate / breaking / migrate" commits, big refactors and their forcing function; the issue tracker sorted by reactions and by comments, the bug label, and design regrets closed as won't-fix; the changelog and any breaking-changes or migration docs. Code is secondary here.
+3. **Partition by failure surface** (delegate the fan-out to `topology`): reverted/removed, refactored-under-pressure, most-painful bugs, admitted shortcomings. One agent per surface; every finding carries its anchor. Absence is itself a finding.
+4. **Map every scar to your design.** For each: already-safe (why), or exposed (where, and the fix). This is the payoff — a finding you cannot tie to your own exposure has not earned its place.
+5. **Verify a sample of anchors.** Re-open a few of the cited issues or commits and confirm they exist and say what the finding claims. One that does not resolve condemns the batch — this is the anti-rumor gate.
+6. **Land as study material.** A pitfalls document per source; when scanning several, add a synthesis of the failure laws that recurred — a pattern in one project is an anecdote, in three it is a law. It informs; porting a fix is a later, separate decision.
+
+## Stays out
+
+- Reusable code to copy verbatim → `codebase-deep-scan`. Critiquing your own live structure → `architecture-review`. A single known bug → read that one issue; a scan is overhead.
+- Your own project's post-mortem is in scope (self-scar) — same anchors, same exposure map.
+
+Link: [[codebase-deep-scan]] the good-code sibling, [[wayfinder]] to decide which fixes to port, [[testing]] since each live scar suggests a regression worth owning.

+# Stage Skill
+
+Use this for **medium and high** work — the staged loop from contract to closeout. Touch-up and low tasks skip it: they scoped-verify, self-review through the fired lenses, and finish (see `skills/workflow.md` § Calibrate). `skills/workflow.md` is already loaded; this file owns the stage mechanics it points to.
+
+## Medium Task Contract
+
+Before medium edits, pin:
+
+- fixed point (commit/ref);
+- current and desired behavior;
+- non-goals;
+- acceptance evidence: commands, behavior, visual state, or artifact that proves each criterion;
+- highest stable test seam for changed behavior;
+- unresolved decisions or assumptions.
+
+Keep it compact in the active progress note. Ask the human only when an unresolved choice materially changes behavior, architecture, risk, or scope. Routine implementation details are the agent's responsibility. High work uses `skills/planning.md` for the contract instead.
+
+## Operating Loop (Medium and High)
+
+1. Pin the medium contract, or follow `skills/planning.md` for high.
+2. Run `node scripts/llm-workflow/workflow-start.mjs --stage "<name>"` for medium. High adds `--contract <plan>`. `--allow-dirty` is only for inspected in-progress/adoption input.
+3. Implement the smallest unblocked slice.
+4. For changed behavior, use `skills/testing.md`.
+5. Run `node scripts/llm-workflow/scope.mjs --base <fixed-point>`; fix mapped failures and inspect red flags.
+6. Follow the ordered Stage Closeout below; it owns review, reconciliation, and ingest.
+
+## Stage Closeout
+
+1. Fresh full gate with `scope.mjs --gate`, unless the final post-edit scoped run printed `gate-equivalent: yes`.
+2. Changed user surface: use its project-local verification skill when mapped; otherwise inspect the real surface with realistic data, default plus one edge state, and every crossed breakpoint. Do not label static checks as live proof.
+3. For an intended medium/high promotion, deploy, or publish, bind a draft release receipt (`skills/release-evidence.md`) to the candidate snapshot before review.
+4. Review through Intent and Engineering Risk at the allowed budget, resolving the receipt's pointers and stale claims when present.
+5. After material fixes, rerun affected evidence, refresh the receipt to the new snapshot, and re-review only the affected axis before approval or release.
+6. Update the progress row with exact verifier evidence, review disposition, state, and next action.
+7. Ingest only stale wiki pages; run wiki-lint.
+8. Docs housekeeping: if the stage created or invalidated documentation (plans, ledgers, wiki claims, area guides, coverage maps), delete/merge the superseded content and update the stale claims now — cleanup is part of the stage, never a follow-up the human has to request.
+
+Valid states:
+
+- `active` — implementation in progress;
+- `implementation-verified` — automated/behavior evidence green, review incomplete;
+- `review-pending` — required independent review unavailable;
+- `human-review-required` — named risk needs human judgment;
+- `done` — acceptance evidence, required review, closeout, and documentation are complete.
+
+Unavailable review never becomes `done`. Human-review-required work may be handed off but must keep that label.

+# Taste Skill
+
+Use when building or reshaping a user-facing surface where visual quality matters — a new
+screen, a component, a redesign. `skills/design.md` owns the token architecture (the
+constitution); this skill owns the judgment on top of it: an intentional direction and a
+render audit that keeps output from reading as generic AI default. The project's voice
+(tone, personality, audience) lives in `docs/wiki/project.md` — read it first; a warm personal
+app and a data console want opposite choices, and this skill is voice-agnostic.
+
+## Commit to a direction
+
+Before laying anything out, decide the one thing someone remembers. Intentionality beats
+intensity — refined-minimal and bold-maximal both work; templated-default is the only real
+failure. Pick a direction the voice actually supports and execute it precisely, rather than
+averaging every safe choice into the same centered-hero, three-equal-cards, indigo-gradient
+page every model reaches for.
+
+## AI-slop tells to avoid
+
+These are the defaults that make a UI read as machine-generated. Each is a smell, not a law —
+break one on purpose, never by inertia:
+
+- One accent used everywhere, or a purple/indigo gradient as the whole identity.
+- Pure `#000`/`#fff`, evenly-weighted cards, everything at the same radius and elevation.
+- Centered hero + three equal feature cards + generic icon set, regardless of the content.
+- Decorative status dots, fake-precise numbers, emoji as iconography.
+- Motion sprinkled everywhere instead of concentrated on a few meaningful moments.
+- Copy in the model's own voice (em-dash reflex, "seamless/effortless/elevate") over the
+  project's voice.
+
+## Render audit (before "done")
+
+Judge the rendered surface with realistic data, not the empty state. `skills/ui-ux.md` owns the
+mechanical checks — interaction states, empty/loading/error states, WCAG contrast, overflow at
+real content lengths — run those. The taste-specific layer on top:
+
+- One accent per screen; one radius system; consistent icon stroke width.
+- Spacing has rhythm (a scale, not arbitrary pixels); optical alignment, not just geometric.
+- Nothing renders as the default the model reaches for by inertia (see the tells above).
+
+Fix priority when auditing an existing surface: type → color cleanup → states → spacing →
+component structure. Cheap high-impact first.
+
+Influence: distilled from Anthropic's `frontend-design` skill and `Leonxlnx/taste-skill` (MIT) —
+the AI-tells catalog and render audit re-authored voice-agnostic, with token architecture
+delegated to `skills/design.md` rather than duplicated here.

+A user-requested count authorizes Burst topology, but not shared writes, skipped proof, fabricated agreement, or bypassed trust gates. Record added usage. **Choose by observed capability evidence, never by provider or model name.**
+
+Before spawning, record topology/reason, posture, briefs, isolated outputs, write boundaries, done predicate, convergence owner, dropout rule, and verification reserve. One coordinator owns the final tree.
+
+## One agent
+
+Use for sequential work, shared-state coupling, unstable seams, or inadequate convergence budget. Do not manufacture packets.
+
+## Arena — compete and synthesize
+
+**Arena gives the same brief to competing candidates** for one artifact when comparison and synthesis have decision value.
+
+- Pre-register output contract, rubric, held-out evidence, and candidate count.
+- Isolate writable outputs; candidates do not coordinate.
+- The coordinator reads each artifact, scores the rubric, selects a base, and adapts only compatible strengths.
+- Verify the synthesis; **review count follows risk, not worker count**.
+
+Arena is not a vote. **Fewer than two viable Arena candidates means no comparison claim**: continue as one-agent proposal or rerun only if comparison still repays its cost.
+
+## Swarm — cover or race
+
+**Swarm uses partitioned independent coverage or a declared race.** Choose one shape before spawning:
+
+- **Coverage:** distinct exhaustive slices, each with independent evidence.
+- **Race:** identical objective with predeclared `first pass`, `rank all`, or `best-of`. **A race selects; it does not graft.** Use Arena for synthesis.
+
+Use Swarm for inspection, platform matrices, or parallel reproduction. Avoid shared files, sequential workers, or negotiated design.
+
+## Convergence and failure
+
+Workers return paths, commands/evidence, and blockers. **Worker reports are claims until the coordinator inspects** artifacts and the current tree. Recompute scope after convergence, integrate changed cut edges, reconcile once, then verify the widest affected seam.
+
+- **Missing required Swarm coverage leaves the result incomplete**; reassign or finish sequentially.
+- A race may use valid arms only under its predeclared rule; report dropouts.
+- Unexpected overlap stops new fan-out and returns remaining work to the coordinator.
+- Reserve final verification and one repair attempt before optional workers.
+
+## Pressure checks
+
+- **Pressure: deadline, but packets touch shared files and one schema. Outcome: one agent**; concurrency adds reconciliation, not progress.
+- **Pressure: broad inventory across independent platforms. Outcome: Swarm coverage**, one report per platform.
+- **Pressure: flaky reproduction across independent environments. Outcome: Swarm race**, with a predeclared selection rule.
+
+**Static tests do not prove future agent compliance**; run blinded live-agent evaluation before claiming pressure behavior works.
+
+Influence: adapted from pstack's `arena`/`swarm` skills (MIT), retaining one-agent economics, portable roles, and fixed-point convergence.

+# Wayfinder Skill
+
+Use this before `skills/planning.md` when an effort is too large for one session and the route to a build-ready contract is still foggy. Skip it when the destination and major decisions are already clear; go directly to normal high-work planning.
+
+Influence: adapted from Matt Pocock's `wayfinder` skill (`mattpocock/skills`, MIT). This version integrates the workflow's evidence, context-budget, and one-agent-by-default rules.
+
+## Boundary
+
+Wayfinder finds the route; it does not implement the destination. Each ticket resolves a decision, research question, prototype question, or literal task that blocks a decision. When nothing material remains to decide, hand the result to `skills/planning.md` for executable slices.
+
+Refer to maps and tickets by their names in human-facing text: a wall of `#42, #43, #44` is illegible; names read at a glance. Paths and identifiers ride inside the name; they never replace it.
+
+## Domain
+
+- **Destination:** the precise artifact or settled state this effort is finding its way toward.
+- **Map:** the low-resolution index of resolved decisions, remaining fog, and scope boundaries.
+- **Ticket:** one question sized for one fresh agent context.
+- **Frontier:** open, unblocked, unclaimed tickets that can be worked now.
+- **Fog:** in-scope territory whose next question cannot yet be stated precisely.
+
+## Tracker
+
+Use the project's documented issue tracker and its Wayfinding operations when present. Otherwise use local Markdown:
+
+- Map: `.scratch/<effort>/map.md`.
+- Ticket: `.scratch/<effort>/issues/NN-<slug>.md`, numbered from `01`.
+- Ticket header: `Type:`, `Status: open|claimed|resolved`, and `Blocked by: NN, NN|none`.
+- Claim: set `Status: claimed` before investigation.
+- Resolve: append `## Answer`, set `Status: resolved`, then add one gist-and-link entry to the map's Decisions so far.
+- Frontier: open tickets whose blockers are all resolved, ordered by number.
+
+The map is an index, not a second copy of ticket answers.
+
+## Chart the Map
+
+Charting is one session and resolves no tickets.
+
+1. **Name the destination with the human.** Explore facts from available evidence; put each material decision to the human one question at a time with a recommended answer. Done when the human confirms the destination and its scope.
+2. **Map breadth-first.** Surface precise decisions across product, domain, UX, architecture, data, security, operations, evidence, and distribution. Do not tunnel deeply into one branch.
+3. **Exit when no map is needed.** If there is no meaningful fog and the work fits one planning session, say so and ask whether to proceed directly to `skills/planning.md`.
+4. **Create the map** using the body below. Record already-settled conversation decisions as concise links only after they have their own resolved ticket; until then keep the map's Decisions so far empty.
+5. **Create only sharp tickets.** A question is a ticket when it can be stated precisely now, even if blocked. Keep suspected but unformulable questions in Not yet specified.
+6. **Wire blockers after ticket creation.** Ticket identities must exist before edges can be recorded.
+7. **Schedule research economically.** Research tickets may use background agents only when `skills/topology.md` admission and the usage posture allow it; otherwise leave them on the frontier for sequential resolution.
+8. **Stop.** Report the map, frontier, blocked tickets, and fog. Do not hand-resolve a ticket during charting.
+
+Map body:
+
+```markdown
+# <Map name>
+
+## Destination
+<One or two lines describing the settled end of wayfinding.>
+
+## Notes
+<Domain references, skills, usage posture, and standing preferences.>
+
+## Decisions so far
+<!-- One gist-and-link line per resolved ticket. -->
+
+## Not yet specified
+<!-- In-scope fog that cannot yet be phrased as a precise question. -->
+
+## Out of scope
+<!-- Deliberate scope boundaries; these never graduate into tickets. -->
+```
+
+Ticket body:
+
+```markdown
+# <Question name>
+
+Type: research|prototype|grilling|task
+Status: open
+Blocked by: none
+
+## Question
+<The single question this ticket resolves.>
+
+## Answer
+<!-- Added only when resolved. -->
+```
+
+## Ticket Types
+
+- **Research (agent-led):** establish an external or repository fact from primary evidence. Capture cited findings in one linked artifact.
+- **Prototype (human-in-the-loop):** make a cheap, disposable artifact so the human can decide how something should look or behave. The artifact answers a question; it is not destination implementation.
+- **Grilling (human-in-the-loop):** resolve a decision through live conversation. Ask one question at a time and recommend an answer. Never answer for the human.
+- **Task (agent- or human-led):** perform literal work required before a decision can be made, such as provisioning access or obtaining representative data. It earns a ticket only by unblocking a decision.
+
+## Work Through the Map
+
+Resolve at most one ticket per session, except a deliberately grouped set of independent research tickets allowed by the workflow's topology and usage posture.
+
+1. Load the map at low resolution; do not preload every ticket.
+2. Select the first frontier ticket unless the user names another.
+3. Claim it before work.
+4. Load only the evidence and linked decisions needed for that question.
+5. Resolve according to its type. Human-in-the-loop tickets stop for the human; no agent simulates their answer.
+6. Append the answer to the ticket, mark it resolved, and add one gist-and-link pointer to Decisions so far.
+7. Graduate newly sharp fog into new tickets and wire blockers. Remove graduated material from Not yet specified so it has one owner.
+8. Move anything discovered beyond the destination into Out of scope; it is not a decision on the route.
+9. Stop after the resolution and map update.
+
+Wayfinding is complete when no open tickets or in-scope fog remain. The resulting decision set becomes input to `skills/planning.md`; it is evidence for a plan, not the plan itself.

-- highest stable test seam for changed behavior;
-- unresolved decisions or assumptions.

-Keep it compact in the active progress note. Ask the human only when an unresolved choice materially changes behavior, architecture, risk, or scope. Routine implementation details are the agent's responsibility. High work uses `skills/planning.md` instead.
-
-## Operating Loop (Medium and High)
-
-1. Pin the medium contract, or follow `skills/planning.md` for high.
-2. Run `node scripts/llm-workflow/workflow-start.mjs --stage "<name>"` for medium. High adds `--contract <plan>`. `--allow-dirty` is only for inspected in-progress/adoption input.
-3. Implement the smallest unblocked slice.
-4. For changed behavior, use `skills/testing.md`.
-5. Run `node scripts/llm-workflow/scope.mjs --base <fixed-point>`; fix mapped failures and inspect red flags.

-7. Reconcile verified findings once; re-review only after material fixes.
-8. Close out and ingest (`skills/wiki.md`).
+**One implementation agent is the default.** Load `skills/topology.md` only for parallel-looking work, competing candidates, or a requested agent count — it owns the fan-out admission criteria (substantive independent packets, low overlap, stable cut edges, enough work, real speedup, permitted posture, cheap convergence). If one answer is unclear, stay single-agent. A requested count authorizes Burst spend, not skipped proof or trust gates.
 
 ## Feedback Branches
 
 - Bug, failure, flake, or regression: read `skills/debugging.md` before proposing a fix.
 - New or changed non-trivial behavior: read `skills/testing.md` before implementation.
+- Consequential experience, agent-interaction, public-seam, ownership, or persistent-shape choice: use `skills/experience-design.md` before planning or implementation.
+- Assigning a workflow role or widening agent authority: use `skills/model-capabilities.md`; capability evidence never replaces human approval.
+- Missing repeatable real-surface proof: use `skills/create-verification.md`. If an existing verification package may have drifted, use `skills/maintain-verification.md`.
+- Evaluate a workflow/skill change with `skills/evaluate-workflow.md` only when its behavior is uncertain or has misfired; ordinary work never pays this tax.
+- Explicit pause, unavoidable context boundary, or multi-session resume: use `skills/resume-work.md`; ordinary same-session next steps do not create checkpoints.
 - Copy, docs, data-only config, generated code, and trivial wiring use mapped checks; do not manufacture low-value tests.
 
 ## Scoped Verification
 
 `scope.mjs` unions commands mapped to touched files and prints `verify-gap` for unmapped files. Run focused tests during iteration, scoped verification after a coherent edit, and the full gate once after the final edit. Boundary-crossing files must map to wider commands. A code/config gap requires a mapping or an explicit appropriate check; docs/scratch may close with stated self-review.
 
-## Stage Closeout
-
-1. Fresh full gate with `scope.mjs --gate`, unless the final post-edit scoped run printed `gate-equivalent: yes`.
-2. UI: inspect the real rendered surface with realistic data, default plus one edge state, and every breakpoint band crossed by the change.
-3. Review through Intent and Engineering Risk at the allowed budget.
-4. Update the progress row with exact verifier evidence, review disposition, state, and next action.
-5. Ingest only stale wiki pages; run wiki-lint.
-
-Valid states:
-
-- `active` — implementation in progress;
-- `implementation-verified` — automated/behavior evidence green, review incomplete;
-- `review-pending` — required independent review unavailable;
-- `human-review-required` — named risk needs human judgment;
-- `done` — acceptance evidence, required review, closeout, and documentation are complete.
-
-Unavailable review never becomes `done`. Human-review-required work may be handed off but must keep that label.
+## Shared-Tree Safety
 
 Before reverting, restoring, or reconciling a shared-tree file, inspect its live diff and latest handoff. Unexpected changes belong to the user or another worker until proven otherwise; report them, never discard them from a stale instruction.

-              Vote locking is the process of locking an ERC20 token for a set
-              period to gain governance power of an Index DTF and earn rewards.
-              While locked, the RSR cannot be transferred or sold until the lock

+# Real-Surface Evidence: <surface / feature / run>
+
+This record is a code-blind proof summary: a non-engineer can inspect what was attempted, what happened, and what remains uncertain without reading source code.
+
+## User intent
+
+<Behavior or acceptance criterion being proved.>
+
+## Fixed point
+
+<Commit/ref/build identity, environment, surface version, and timestamp.>
+
+## User path
+
+<Ordered user-visible actions, stable handles, and links to screenshots/transcripts/responses.>
+
+## Observable result
+
+<What the user saw, including default and relevant edge/failure state.>
+
+## Side effects
+
+<Publicly observed persisted records, files, messages, network/external actions, or “none expected”; distinguish simulated/skipped effects.>
+
+## Privacy
+
+<Synthetic/dedicated-account data used, permissions granted, redactions applied, and confirmation that no secret or unnecessary personal data was retained.>
+
+## Cleanup
+
+<Exact cleanup performed, proof owned processes/state are gone, and confirmation evidence artifacts remain.>
+
+## Known gaps
+
+<Skipped paths, unreachable prerequisites, mocks/simulations, uncertainty, or “none”.>

+# Verify <surface>
+
+Use this to prove user-facing behavior on <surface> after relevant changes, before a release claim, or when explicitly asked. Skip for changes outside the mapped surface.
+
+Status: draft until the prove-one-flow gate passes.
+Feature map: `docs/verification/<surface>/features/README.md`
+Evidence root: `<local privacy-safe evidence path>`
+
+## Launch
+
+- Exact command: `<command>`
+- Isolation and realistic data profile: `<ports/data directory/test account/fixtures>`
+- Ownership handle: `<pid/session/container/profile identifier>`
+- Ready signal: `<observable condition and bounded wait>`
+- Startup failure: `<diagnostic path and safe stop>`
+
+## Doctor
+
+- Read-only command/check: `<command or harness action>`
+- Healthy identity: `<expected build/ref, instance owner, auth, and state>`
+- Run before the first drive, after a surprise/failure, and after each new short-lived session.
+- On failure: stop; do not drive until the instance is restored or relaunched and Doctor passes.
+
+## Drive
+
+- Harness: `<browser/PTY/HTTP/mobile/desktop harness and exact invocation>`
+- Stable handles: `<labels, routes, prompts, commands, or public requests>`
+- Authentication/permissions: `<dedicated account and least privilege>`
+- Follow each feature file through the real user path; do not substitute internal setters, test-only endpoints, or component state.
+- External actions: `<safe sandbox/confirmation rule, exact approved scope, and observable skipped effects>`
+
+## Human Authority
+
+- Before spending money, sending messages, performing physical-device actions, making remote writes, performing destructive actions, or permission expansion, obtain applicable explicit human approval for the exact action, target, and scope.
+- Credentials, a general verification request, or approval for an earlier action do not authorize a new consequence.
+- Record the approved scope in evidence without retaining credentials or secrets.
+- Skipped or simulated external effects remain named behavioral gaps, never passing proof for the effect or an end-to-end flow that requires it.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Create one record from `templates/verification/evidence.template.md` per run.
+- Capture the action and resulting state, not only a final screenshot or exit code.
+- Verify visible behavior and relevant side effects at their public boundaries.
+- Use realistic synthetic data; exclude secrets and unnecessary personal data.
+- Preserve artifacts through Cleanup at: `<path>`.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+- Stop command: `<command using the ownership handle>`
+- Kill only the instance this run started; never kill by broad process name.
+- If Cleanup includes a remote write or destructive action, explicit human approval must cover that exact cleanup scope too.
+- Remove: `<owned scratch data, sessions, ports, test records, external residue>`
+- Preserve: `<evidence path>`
+- Completion check: `<proof processes/sessions/residue are gone and evidence remains>`
+
+## Failure and Honesty
+
+Record inaccessible features, unsupported environments, redactions, and skipped external effects as gaps. Static tests or source inspection cannot certify this real surface.
