From 3806b9b72333256a92a32f5cecf67a83453c3093 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Sobro inc." Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 22:01:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 001/196] fix(agents): add missing YAML frontmatter and modernize tool fields Per https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents, agents require YAML frontmatter with name + description, and the field is `tools:` not `allowed-tools:` (deprecated). Bare `Bash` allows any command including curl/wget/rm, which violates defense-in-depth. Changes: - engineering/agenthub/agents/hub-coordinator.md: add full frontmatter (name, description, tools allowlist for git/python/node/Agent, disallowedTools for rm -rf / curl / wget / git push --force, model) - engineering-team/self-improving-agent/agents/memory-analyst.md: add frontmatter, read-only tools (Read, Glob, Grep) - engineering-team/self-improving-agent/agents/skill-extractor.md: add frontmatter, write tools (Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep) - engineering-team/playwright-pro/agents/test-architect.md: rename allowed-tools to tools, add model: inherit - engineering-team/playwright-pro/agents/migration-planner.md: same rename - engineering-team/playwright-pro/agents/test-debugger.md: rename + narrow bare Bash to npx playwright / node / npm patterns, add disallowedTools for rm / curl / wget / destructive git - engineering/karpathy-coder/agents/karpathy-reviewer.md: narrow bare Bash to git read-ops + python, add disallowedTools All registered agents now load cleanly under the sub-agents spec rather than falling through to permissive registration.

Ships the first new skill end-to-end through the 14-step pipeline: scoped, audited, built, gated, mirrored, doc'd, and registered. ## What landed ### New skill: engineering/feature-flags-architect End-to-end feature-flag discipline. Published as BOTH: - Standalone plugin: engineering/feature-flags-architect/ - Bundled mirror: engineering/skills/feature-flags-architect/ 3 stdlib-only Python tools: - flag_debt_scanner.py — finds stale flags via git log -S + age heuristic - rollout_planner.py — generates ring/linear/log/cohort phased schedule - kill_switch_audit.py — verifies every flag has documented kill switch 4 reference docs: - flag_taxonomy.md — 4 types decision tree (Release/Experiment/Operational/Permission) - provider_comparison.md — LaunchDarkly/GrowthBook/Statsig/Unleash/Flipt/DIY trade-offs - rollout_strategies.md — strategies, abort criteria, hold-time rules - flag_lifecycle.md — 6-phase lifecycle (request → archive) with SLAs + worked example Plus: SKILL.md (213 lines), README.md, asset template, /flag-cleanup slash command. ### Audit verdict (evidence-based) Closest existing skill: engineering/skills/release-manager (~30 lines on flags; documents 4 types + Python integration example). marketing-skill/ab-test-setup references flags only in tooling list. Neither provides debt scanner, rollout planner, or kill-switch audit. Verdict: BUILD. Gap is real and tooling-shaped. ### Marketplace / registry - marketplace.json: feature-flags-architect registered as standalone plugin - engineering-advanced-skills bundle: 44 → 45 skills, version 2.3.3 → 2.4.0 - engineering/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: version bumped + skill listed - mkdocs.yml: nav entry under "Engineering - POWERFUL" - docs/skills/engineering/feature-flags-architect.md: docs page (manual, generate-docs.py has a pre-existing classification bug fixing top-level vs sub-skill detection — out of scope this turn) - docs/commands/flag-cleanup.md: auto-generated by generate-docs.py - .codex/skills/feature-flags-architect: symlink created - .gemini/skills/feature-flags-architect: synced ### Karpathy-coder gates (per user directive: block on FAIL) - complexity_checker (strict): 90/100 average (1 WARN per script on nesting depth — same intrinsic pattern as canonical karpathy-coder tools, which themselves score 70/100 strict). Verdict: WARN, not FAIL. - diff_surgeon: NOISY (whitespace + docstrings flagged on new files — intrinsic false-positive for greenfield code; karpathy-coder's own scripts hit the same noise pattern). - goal_verifier: same MISSING verdict as the flagship llm-wiki SKILL.md; literal `→ verify:` syntax not used (would harm readability). - All 1630 tests pass (was 1629; added 12 smoke + 6 integrity for the new skill). ### Verifiable success criteria (all green) ✓ scripts/*.py --help → exit 0 for all 3 scripts ✓ SKILL.md frontmatter → name + description + tags + compatible_tools ✓ plugin.json schema → 8 fields exact (verified by check_plugin_json.py) ✓ sync_skill_bundles --check engineering/feature-flags-architect → exit 0 ✓ marketplace.json → standalone entry + bundle version bumped ✓ generate-docs.py → command page generated (skill page manual) ✓ mkdocs build --strict → succeeded in 14.81s ✓ cross-tool sync → codex + gemini synced ✓ pytest tests/ → 1630 passed, 0 failed ✓

Same 14-step pipeline as Phase 1. ## What landed ### New skill: engineering/kubernetes-operator End-to-end Kubernetes Operator discipline. Published as BOTH: - Standalone plugin: engineering/kubernetes-operator/ - Bundled mirror: engineering/skills/kubernetes-operator/ 3 stdlib-only Python tools: - crd_validator.py — checks CRD YAMLs for status subresource, structural schema, conditions array, printer columns, version policy, scope - reconcile_lint.py — finds reconcile-loop bugs in Go: time.Sleep, spec mutation via r.Update, missing requeue, oversized reconcile bodies, panic/os.Exit, unbalanced finalizer add/remove - operator_capability_audit.py — scores against OperatorHub Capability Levels 1-5 with concrete next-level steps 4 reference docs: - operator_pattern.md — what an operator IS, when to use vs Helm/Deployment - crd_design.md — anatomy of a production CRD, versioning, conversion - reconcile_loop.md — idempotence patterns, error/requeue, status subresource - tooling_landscape.md — controller-runtime / kubebuilder / operator-sdk / metacontroller / KOPF / java-operator-sdk decision tree Asset templates: - crd_template.yaml — passes crd_validator.py PASS-clean - reconcile_skeleton.go — passes reconcile_lint.py PASS-clean Plus: SKILL.md (213 lines), README.md, /operator-audit slash command. ### Audit verdict (evidence-based) Closest existing coverage: - engineering-team/senior-devops — kubectl / blue-green deploys, no operators - engineering/helm-chart-builder — Helm charts (different abstraction) - engineering-team/cloud-security — k8s RBAC at high level None cover the Operator pattern (CRD + controller + reconcile loop). Verdict: BUILD. Gap is real and tooling-shaped. ### Self-test (meta-validation) During build, the new linters caught 4 real bugs in their own asset templates: - crd_validator.py wrongly anchored regexes to start-of-line, misclassifying indented YAML keys (scope, singular, listKind) as missing - reconcile_lint.py checked finalizer add/remove balance per-function, missing the cross-function pattern in the asset (Add in main reconcile, Remove in reconcileDelete) Both linters fixed; assets re-tested; both PASS clean. This is Karpathy principle 4 in action: verifiable goals catch real bugs. ### Marketplace / registry - marketplace.json: kubernetes-operator registered as standalone plugin - engineering-advanced-skills bundle: 45 → 46 → 47 skills, version → 2.4.1 - engineering/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: version + skill list updated - mkdocs.yml: nav entry under "Engineering - POWERFUL" - docs/skills/engineering/kubernetes-operator.md: docs page (manual, pending generate-docs.py classification fix) - docs/commands/operator-audit.md: auto-generated - .codex/, .gemini/: synced ### Karpathy-coder gates - complexity_checker (strict): 85/100 average, depth-4-to-6 WARNs (lambdas in capability audit). Same range as karpathy-coder's own scripts (70/100 baseline). Verdict: WARN, not FAIL. - All 1648 tests pass (was 1630; added 18 for the new skill). - mkdocs build --strict: succeeded in 14.44s. ### Verifiable success criteria (all green) ✓ scripts/*.py --help → exit 0 for all 3 scripts ✓ SKILL.md frontmatter → name + description + tags + compatible_tools ✓ plugin.json schema → 8 fields exact (verified by check_plugin_json.py) ✓ sync_skill_bundles → standalone ↔ bundled mirror in sync ✓ marketplace.json → standalone entry + bundle counts updated ✓ generate-docs.py → command page generated (skill page manual) ✓ mkdocs build --strict → succeeded ✓ cross-tool sync → codex + gemini synced ✓ pytest tests/ → 1648 passed, 0 failed ✓ CHANGELOG.md → [Unreleased] entry expanded ✓ Self-test → linters caught + fixed 4 real bugs in own assets ## Files -

Same 14-step pipeline.

Published as BOTH: - Standalone plugin: engineering/chaos-engineering/ - Bundled mirror: engineering/skills/chaos-engineering/ 3 stdlib-only Python tools (Karpathy complexity 95/100 — best in portfolio): - experiment_designer.py — generates structured plans with hypothesis, steady-state, blast radius, abort criteria, rollback. Refuses to render plans without abort criteria (exit code 1). - blast_radius_calculator.py — computes affected users + error budget consumption + GREEN/YELLOW/RED risk score. Validates inputs (0 ≤ traffic-share ≤ 1). - experiment_postmortem.py — blameless postmortems from plan + result log; detects blame-laden language ("fault of", "should have known", "stupid", etc.) and warns at write time. 4 reference docs: - chaos_principles.md — 4 founding principles + 5th abort principle, maturity model, history, when-to-start checklist - experiment_design.md — 7-section plan structure, pre-flight checklist, time-boxing, escalation - attack_taxonomy.md — 7 attack types (latency / error / resource / network-partition / dependency-failure / time-skew / infrastructure) with magnitudes and tooling - tooling_landscape.md — Chaos Toolkit / Mesh / Litmus / Gremlin / AWS FIS / DIY decision tree Templates: - experiment_template.md — fill-in plan with all 7 sections - postmortem_template.md — blameless postmortem structure Plus: SKILL.md (213 lines), README.md, /chaos-experiment slash command. ### Audit verdict (evidence-based) Closest existing skills: - engineering-team/incident-response — for actual incidents, not prevention - engineering-team/red-team — adversarial; different goal (find attack paths) - engineering-team/threat-detection — hunting; different goal - engineering/observability-designer — measurement, not fault injection None cover the chaos-engineering discipline (hypothesis-driven fault injection with bounded blast radius). Verdict: BUILD. Gap is real and tooling-shaped. ### Composition story (Phase 1+2+3 form a stack) ``` feature-flags-architect.kill_switch_audit.py ↓ defines kill switches that ↓ chaos-engineering.experiment_designer.py ↓ designs experiments against ↓ kubernetes-operator (and other targets) ``` Together: a complete progressive-delivery + resilience-testing stack. ### Marketplace / registry - marketplace.json: chaos-engineering registered as standalone plugin - engineering-advanced-skills bundle: 47 → 48 skills, version → 2.4.2 - engineering/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: version + skill list updated - mkdocs.yml: nav entry under "Engineering - POWERFUL" - docs/skills/engineering/chaos-engineering.md: docs page (manual, pending generate-docs.py classification fix) - docs/commands/chaos-experiment.md: auto-generated - .codex/, .gemini/: synced ### Karpathy-coder gates - complexity_checker (strict): 95/100 average — BEST score in the new portfolio. Only 1 WARN (depth 5 in blast_radius_calculator.py validation branches; the other 2 scripts hit no findings whatsoever). - All 1666 tests pass (was 1648; added 18 for the new skill). - mkdocs build --strict: succeeded in 13.33s. ### Verifiable success criteria (all green) ✓ scripts/*.py --help → exit 0 for all 3 scripts ✓ SKILL.md frontmatter → name + description + tags + compatible_tools ✓ plugin.json schema → 8 fields exact (verified by check_plugin_json.py) ✓ sync_skill_bundles → standalone ↔ bundled mirror in sync ✓ marketplace.json → standalone entry + bundle counts updated ✓ generate-docs.py → command page generated (skill page manual) ✓ mkdocs build --strict → succeeded ✓ cross-tool sync → codex + gemini synced ✓ pytest tests/ → 1666 passed, 0 failed ✓ CHANGELOG.md → [Unreleased] entry expanded for Phase 3 ✓ Self-test (RED case) → 50% blast radius on 99.9% baseline correctly classifies as RED (17.33% of monthly budget) and returns ABORT recommendation ✓ Composition test → references named skills explicitly compose ## Phase 1+2+3 cumulative - 3 new skills: feature-flags-architect, kubernetes-operator, chaos-engineering - 9 new Python tools (all stdlib, all <200 LOC, average complexity 90/100) - 12 new reference docs (~250-500 lines each) -

Scans codebases across 8 categories — security, database, deployment, code quality, AI/LLM, dependencies, frontend, observability — with 89 automated and manual checks. Intercepts deploy-intent phrases ("push to production", "ship it", "go live") and blocks until critical issues resolve. Stack-agnostic (Node/Next/React/Vue/Svelte/Astro/Express/Python/Django/Flask/etc.). Stdlib-only Python scanner (`ship_gate_scanner.py`, ~1230 LOC) with JSON output, ANSI color, interactive manual prompts, and exit codes (0=CLEAR, 1=CRITICAL, 2=HIGH). - **feature-flags-architect** — End-to-end feature-flag discipline. Detects stale flags as debt (`flag_debt_scanner.py`), generates phased rollout plans across ring/linear/log/cohort strategies (`rollout_planner.py`), and audits every flag for documented kill switch (`kill_switch_audit.py`). 4 references on flag taxonomy, provider comparison (LaunchDarkly / GrowthBook / Statsig / Unleash / Flipt / DIY), rollout strategies, and lifecycle. Ships standalone plugin AND in the engineering-advanced-skills bundle. New `/flag-cleanup` slash command. - **kubernetes-operator** — End-to-end Kubernetes Operator discipline. Validates CRDs against operator-pattern best practices (`crd_validator.py`), lints Go reconcile functions for anti-patterns like `time.Sleep`, spec mutation, missing requeue, finalizer imbalance (`reconcile_lint.py`), and scores operators against OperatorHub Capability Levels 1-5 (`operator_capability_audit.py`). 4 references on operator pattern, CRD design, reconcile loop patterns, and framework comparison (controller-runtime / kubebuilder / operator-sdk / metacontroller / KOPF). Asset templates for production CRD YAML and Go controller skeleton (both pass linters). New `/operator-audit` slash command. NOT a generic k8s skill — specifically the Operator pattern. Self-tested: linters caught 4 real bugs in their own asset templates during build. - **chaos-engineering** — End-to-end chaos engineering discipline. Generates structured experiment plans with hypothesis + steady-state + blast-radius + abort-criteria (`experiment_designer.py`), computes blast radius with GREEN/YELLOW/RED risk score against monthly error budget (`blast_radius_calculator.py`), and produces blameless postmortems with blame-language detection (`experiment_postmortem.py`). 4 references on the 4 founding principles + 5th abort-criteria principle, hypothesis/steady-state/abort design, the 7-attack taxonomy (latency / error / resource / network-partition / dependency / time / infrastructure), and tooling landscape (Chaos Toolkit / Chaos Mesh / Litmus / Gremlin / AWS FIS / DIY). Templates for plans and postmortems. New `/chaos-experiment` slash command.

Same 14-step pipeline. ## What landed ### New skill: engineering/slo-architect End-to-end SLO discipline per Google SRE Workbook. Published as BOTH: - Standalone plugin: engineering/slo-architect/ - Bundled mirror: engineering/skills/slo-architect/ 3 stdlib-only Python tools (Karpathy complexity 95/100): - slo_designer.py — generates SLO definitions; refuses to render if required fields missing (owner, policy doc, SLI numerator/denominator). Supports 5 SLI types: request-success-rate, request-latency, availability-time, data-freshness, correctness. - error_budget_calculator.py — computes error budget AND the canonical multi-window burn-rate alert thresholds: fast (1h/5m, page), slow (6h/30m, page), ticket (3d/6h). Output is PromQL-shaped, ready to paste into Prometheus rules. - slo_review.py — audits SLO docs for 7 common bugs: target ≥99.99, target ≤99, window <7d, window >90d, no SLI definition, no error budget policy, CPU-as-SLI. 4 reference docs: - slo_principles.md — SLI vs SLO vs SLA, Google SRE Workbook canon - sli_design.md — 5 SLI types with examples and anti-patterns - error_budget.md — error budget math, burn-rate alerts, budget policy - composition.md — how SLOs feed feature-flags, chaos, kubernetes-operator Asset templates: - slo_template.yaml — fillable SLO YAML with all required fields - error_budget_policy.md — fillable 4-state policy (HEALTHY / CAUTION / CRITICAL / VIOLATED) Plus: SKILL.md, README.md, /slo-design slash command. ## Composition with prior phases Explicit wire-up to the rest of the portfolio: - feature-flags-architect.kill_switch_audit references SLO burn-rate - chaos-engineering.blast_radius_calculator takes SLO error budget as input - kubernetes-operator capability level L4 requires SLOs + Prometheus rules The SLO is the unifying number: rollout abort, chaos blast radius, and operator capability all reference it. references/composition.md walks through end-to-end use. ## Audit verdict (evidence-based) Closest existing skill: engineering/observability-designer covers SLI/SLO as ONE topic among many (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerting).

Generates structured SLO definitions and refuses to render if required fields (owner, error-budget policy, SLI numerator/denominator) are missing (`slo_designer.py`). Computes error budget and the canonical multi-window burn-rate alert thresholds — fast (1h/5m, page), slow (6h/30m, page), ticket (3d/6h) — with PromQL-shaped output ready to paste (`error_budget_calculator.py`). Reviews existing SLO docs for the 7 common bugs: target too high (≥99.99%), target too low (≤99%), window too short (<7d), window too long (>90d), no SLI definition, no error budget policy, CPU-as-SLI (`slo_review.py`). 4 references on SLO principles, SLI design (5 types), error budget math, and composition with the rest of the portfolio. Asset templates for SLO YAML and error budget policy. New `/slo-design` slash command. Karpathy complexity 95/100. Composes explicitly with feature-flags-architect (rollout abort uses SLO burn-rate), chaos-engineering (blast-radius bounded by SLO error budget), kubernetes-operator (Capability Level 4 requires SLOs). - **ship-gate** — Pre-production audit skill from external contributor @rx4u (originally PR #527, re-applied to post-restructure dev layout). Scans codebases across 8 categories — security, database, deployment, code quality, AI/LLM, dependencies, frontend, observability — with 89 automated and manual checks. Intercepts deploy-intent phrases ("push to production", "ship it", "go live") and blocks until critical issues resolve. Stack-agnostic (Node/Next/React/Vue/Svelte/Astro/Express/Python/Django/Flask/etc.). Stdlib-only Python scanner (`ship_gate_scanner.py`, ~1230 LOC) with JSON output, ANSI color, interactive manual prompts, and exit codes (0=CLEAR, 1=CRITICAL, 2=HIGH). - **feature-flags-architect** — End-to-end feature-flag discipline. Detects stale flags as debt (`flag_debt_scanner.py`), generates phased rollout plans across ring/linear/log/cohort strategies (`rollout_planner.py`), and audits every flag for documented kill switch (`kill_switch_audit.py`). 4 references on flag taxonomy, provider comparison (LaunchDarkly / GrowthBook / Statsig / Unleash / Flipt / DIY), rollout strategies, and lifecycle. Ships standalone plugin AND in the engineering-advanced-skills bundle. New `/flag-cleanup` slash command. - **kubernetes-operator** — End-to-end Kubernetes Operator discipline. Validates CRDs against operator-pattern best practices (`crd_validator.py`), lints Go reconcile functions for anti-patterns like `time.Sleep`, spec mutation, missing requeue, finalizer imbalance (`reconcile_lint.py`), and scores operators against OperatorHub Capability Levels 1-5 (`operator_capability_audit.py`). 4 references on operator pattern, CRD design, reconcile loop patterns, and framework comparison (controller-runtime / kubebuilder / operator-sdk / metacontroller / KOPF). Asset templates for production CRD YAML and Go controller skeleton (both pass linters). New `/operator-audit` slash command. NOT a generic k8s skill — specifically the Operator pattern.

No long HTTP calls without context. +6. **Use the cache.** Read via the controller's cached client; only escape the cache for a specific reason. +7. **Leader-elect when running >1 replica.** Otherwise enable single-replica mode. +8. **Set OwnerReferences.** Cascading deletion is the operator pattern's free gift. + +## Workflows + +### Workflow 1: Bootstrap a new operator (Go + kubebuilder) + +``` +1.

fix(skill-security-auditor): self-skip false positives via noqa directive MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Security scanners legitimately reference dangerous patterns (eval, os.system, subprocess shell=True, etc.) inside their own regex pattern definitions and human-readable risk/fix descriptions. Auditing the auditor itself produced 17 CRITICAL false positives — all from its own pattern table. ship-gate had the same issue (2 CRITICALs on a check description and a variable name called eval_findings). Fix: - Add 'noqa: SEC-AUDITOR' / 'auditor:ignore-line' line-suppression directive to all three scan loops (code patterns, prompt-injection markdown, pip/npm runtime install detection). - Annotate the 179 pattern-definition lines in skill_security_auditor.py (regex, risk, fix entries) and 4 cleanup shutil.rmtree calls. - Annotate ship-gate's two flagged lines (SEC-13 check description and eval_findings variable usage). - Annotate SKILL.md and references/threat-model.md tables that document attack patterns for human readers (HTML comment <!-- noqa: SEC-AUDITOR -->).

Usually paired with one or more SOWs / Order Forms. + +**Top 5 redlines to push:** + +1. **Auto-renewal:** Cut notice period to 30 days max. Reject 60/90/180 day notice. +2. **Liability cap:** Insist on 12 months of fees. Reject "fees in the preceding 3 months" (too narrow). +3. **Mutual indemnification:** Reject one-sided. Mirror the scope on both sides. +4. **IP ownership of deliverables:** All work product belongs to you. Vendor retains rights to pre-existing tools / methodologies, granted back to you for use. +5. **Data: DPA + return-or-destroy on termination.** Specifically: vendor cannot use your data to train AI models. + +**Bonus catch:** Watch for "Vendor may modify these terms upon notice" — this means the contract you signed isn't the contract you have. + +## 2.

Fees & payment (annual prepay vs. monthly, late fee, currency) +4. Service Level Agreement (uptime %, credits, exclusions) +5. Confidentiality (mutual, residuals carve-out) +6.

They drive ~80% of the founder economics impact. + +### 1. Liquidation Preference + +**What it is:** Investors get their investment back (the "preference") before founders see anything in an exit. + +**The dimensions:** + +- **Multiple:** 1x (standard) means $1 back per $1 invested. 2x means $2 back. Higher = more hostile. +- **Participating vs Non-participating:** + - **Non-participating (founder-friendly):** Investor chooses preference OR convert to common at exit. Most exits hit the conversion threshold, so preference is effectively just downside protection. + - **Participating ("double-dip"):** Investor gets preference back AND a pro-rata share of remaining proceeds as if converted. Significantly increases investor take in mid-range exits. +- **Cap:** Caps the total return at, say, 2x or 3x of investment for participating preferences. Limits the double-dip. + +**Standard (Series A/B):** 1x non-participating. + +**Hostile flavors:** +- 1x participating uncapped (significant founder dilution at exit) +- 2x preference (only acceptable in distressed rounds) +- Multi-stack preferences (Series A + Series B both get their preferences before any common) + +**Pushback:** "Our standard is 1x non-participating. Participating preferences create misalignment with management at exit." + +### 2. Option Pool — Pre-Money vs Post-Money + +**The "option pool shuffle":** Investors typically require an unallocated option pool (10-20% of post-money) to be created **before** the new investment. If this comes out of pre-money, founders are diluted; if post-money, all shareholders dilute proportionally. + +**Example math (Series A):** + +| Scenario | Pre-Money | Pool Size | Effective Pre-Money for Founders | +|---|---|---|---| +| $30M pre, 10% pool pre-money | $30M | 10% of post | ~$26M (10% comes from founders) | +| $30M pre, 10% pool post-money | $30M | 10% of post | $30M (pool spread across all) | + +**Standard:** 10-15% pool, often pre-money at Series A. Founder-friendly: smaller pool or post-money. + +**Pushback:** "We've modeled our hiring plan and 8% supports the next 18 months. Let's right-size to actual need, not standard percentage." Or: "Pool top-up should come out of post-money so the new investor shares the dilution." + +### 3. Anti-Dilution + +**What it is:** Protection for investors against future down rounds. If a later round prices below the current, the current investor's price is adjusted retroactively. + +**Flavors (least to most hostile):** + +- **None:** Rare; only in seed SAFEs sometimes. +- **Broad-based weighted average (standard):** Adjusts using all shares (common, options, warrants). Modest founder dilution in a down round. +- **Narrow-based weighted average:** Uses only preferred. More dilutive than broad-based. +- **Full ratchet (hostile):** Investor's price resets entirely to the new round's price. Massively dilutive to founders. + +**Standard:** Broad-based weighted average. + +**Pushback:** "Full ratchet is non-starter at this stage. Narrow-based is unusual. We need broad-based weighted average — this is the NVCA standard." + +--- + +## The Full Glossary + +### Board Composition + +**Standard at Series A:** 2 founders / 1 investor / 1 independent (or 1 founder / 1 investor / 1 independent for solo founders). + +**At Series B:** Often 2 / 2 / 1 (balanced with independent tie-breaker). + +**At Series C+:** Often investors get majority (signals control transition). + +**Founder protection:** Always insist on the independent seat. Independent directors prevent deadlock and provide a neutral voice. + +**Pushback on investor-majority boards at A:** "Investor control of the board at Series A is premature. Let's keep founder control with an independent tie-breaker until Series B." + +### Vesting (for founders) + +**Founder vesting in a financing:** Investors often require founder shares to be subject to vesting (re-vesting if you already exercised). Standard: 4 years, 1-year cliff. Often the cliff is waived if you've been at the company > 1 year. + +**Acceleration:** + +- **Single trigger:** All unvested shares vest immediately upon change of control. Founder-friendly but rare; investors resist. +- **Double trigger (standard):** Acceleration requires (a) change of control AND (b) involuntary termination of the founder within X months. Industry standard at Series A+. + +**Pushback:** "Double-trigger acceleration is industry standard. Without it, founders are exposed to acquirer post-acquisition staffing decisions." + +### Pro-Rata Rights + +**What it is:** The right (but not obligation) to participate in future rounds proportionally to maintain ownership. + +**Standard:** Lead investor + major investors (typically those above some ownership threshold) get pro-rata. Smaller checks often don't. + +**Founder impact:** Granting pro-rata is generally fine — it shows investor conviction and aligns long-term. The cost is small dilution in future rounds. + +**Pushback:** Only push back if there's a long tail of small investors each demanding pro-rata; cap to "major investors" defined by ownership %. + +### Drag-Along + +**What it is:** If a majority approves a sale, all shareholders must agree (including minority holders, including founders who later become minority). + +**Founder-friendly version:** Drag-along requires founder consent OR a minimum sale price threshold (e.g., > 3x liquidation preference). + +**Hostile version:** Drag-along with no founder consent and no price floor. Investors can force a sale at any price over founder objection. + +**Pushback:** "Drag-along is standard, but we need founder consent OR a price floor." + +### Protective Provisions + +**What it is:** Investor consent rights for certain corporate decisions. + +**Standard (NVCA model):** + +- Issuing new senior or pari-passu preferred stock +- Authorizing new shares above existing pool +- Liquidating, merging, or selling the company +- Amending the charter or bylaws +- Increasing the board size +- Paying dividends +- Major debt + +**Aggressive (push back):** + +- Approving the annual budget +- Hiring or firing executives +- Setting compensation above thresholds +- Approving individual contracts above thresholds +- Capital expenditures above thresholds + +**Pushback:** "We're aligned on the NVCA standard list. Operating decisions like budget and hiring are management's responsibility — protective provisions are for fundamental corporate changes." + +### Information Rights + +**Standard:** Quarterly unaudited financials, annual audited financials, annual budget. + +**Aggressive (push back):** Monthly financials, board observer rights, weekly KPI dashboards, inspection rights at will. + +**Pushback:** "Standard quarterly + annual is enough. Monthly creates significant CFO overhead at our stage. We'll commit to ad-hoc updates on material events." + +### Dividends + +**Standard:** None (default). + +**Acceptable:** Non-cumulative dividends "when and if declared by the board" — almost never paid in practice. + +**Hostile:** Cumulative dividends accrue every year regardless of declaration and must be paid in cash at exit. This is a creeping liquidation preference. + +**Pushback:** "Cumulative dividends create a hidden liquidation preference that accrues over time. Non-cumulative when-declared, or none, is standard." + +### Right of First Refusal (ROFR) / Co-Sale + +**What it is:** If founders try to sell shares to a third party, investors have the right to buy first (ROFR) or to sell alongside (co-sale). + +**Founder-friendly:** Standard ROFR + co-sale for all preferred; founders can still do secondary up to small thresholds without triggering. + +**Hostile:** No secondary at all without unanimous investor consent. + +**Pushback:** "We need to allow modest founder secondary (e.g., up to $1M aggregate) without investor consent — this is needed for founder financial planning." + +### Founder Liquidity + +**What it is:** Built-in secondary at later rounds (Series B/C) where founders sell some shares. + +**Standard:** Becoming more common; 10-20% of round size as founder secondary. + +**Pushback:** Raise this in Series B+ discussions; not typically negotiated at Series A. + +### Most Favored Nation (MFN) + +**What it is:** If you give a later investor better terms, the MFN-holder gets the same terms retroactively. + +**Common in:** Seed SAFEs and convertible notes; rare in priced rounds. + +**Founder trap:** MFN provisions can prevent you from offering competitive terms to new lead investors later. Be specific about what's covered (just SAFE terms? all terms?). + +### No-Shop / Exclusivity + +**What it is:** During due diligence, you can't shop the round to other investors. + +**Standard:** 30-45 days.

Investor-aligned because it shows commitment. + +**Pushback only if:** > 60 days, or if it extends post-execution of definitive docs. + +--- + +## Founder-Friendly Defaults (Cheat Sheet) + +| Clause | Founder-Friendly Default | +|---|---| +| Liquidation preference | 1x non-participating | +| Anti-dilution | Broad-based weighted average | +| Option pool | 8-12%, post-money | +| Board (Series A) | 2F / 1I / 1Indep | +| Vesting (founder re-vest) | 4yr / 1yr cliff, often with credit for time served | +| Acceleration | Double-trigger | +| Pro-rata | For lead + major investors | +| Drag-along | Requires founder consent or price floor | +| Protective provisions | NVCA standard list only | +| Information rights | Quarterly + annual + budget | +| Dividends | None or non-cumulative when-declared | +| ROFR / co-sale | Standard, with carve-out for modest founder secondary | +| MFN (in notes/SAFEs) | Avoid if possible; if not, narrow scope | +| No-shop | 30-45 days | + +--- + +## Negotiation Strategy + +**Pick your battles:** A term sheet has 25-40 clauses.

Liquidation preference flavor (participating vs non-participating) +2. Option pool pre-money vs post-money + size +3. Board control and protective provisions + +These are the clauses where you can save 5-10% of founder economics or retain operating control. Everything else is secondary. + +**The "founder-friendly NVCA" framing:** Many investors signal their posture by deviating from the NVCA model (the industry standard documents published by the National Venture Capital Association). Pushing back to "let's use the NVCA standard" is rarely rejected and resolves most issues. + +**Walking away:** If a lead insists on: +- 1x participating uncapped preference +- Full ratchet anti-dilution +- Investor-majority board at Series A +- Cumulative dividends + +These are not standard. A founder-friendly lead doesn't insist on these. Either walk or get specific written justification (sometimes a distressed cap-table situation justifies one of them, but never all). + +--- + +## After Signing + +Once the term sheet is signed: + +1. **No-shop is active.** Don't talk to other investors except to officially decline. +2. **Definitive documents (SPA, IRA, Voting Agreement, ROFR Agreement) take 4-6 weeks.** Don't lose energy here; main fight was the term sheet. +3. **Closing conditions:** legal opinion, secretary's certificate, charter filing, capitalization confirmation. +4. **Wire timing:** Investors often wire 1-3 days after charter filing. Plan accordingly. + +Run `scripts/term_sheet_analyzer.py` on the structured JSON of the term sheet for an automated scoring + flag analysis. + +--- + +**Final reminder:** This document is a decoder, not a negotiation manual. Real term sheet response always involves your venture / securities counsel + your lead investor's diligence + your board (if any).

The connector maintenance burden (200+ source APIs, all changing constantly) is unjustifiable for any non-data-infra company. + +**Only build if:** Source isn't supported by any vendor AND is business-critical AND you'll contribute the connector upstream so you're not maintaining a fork forever. + +### Modeling / Transformations + +**Always BUILD.** dbt is the de facto standard (open source).

Buy-with-customization usually wins until 100K+ customer-tenants. + +### Feature Store + +**DEFER until you have 3+ ML models in production.** + +**Then:** Tecton (managed, expensive, mature) or Hopsworks (alternative) for BUY; Feast (open source, lighter) for BUILD-on-OSS. + +**Why defer:** Feature stores solve feature reuse + governance. With 1 model, you have 0 features-to-reuse.

The decision depends on data availability + team capacity + economics + compliance, not on technology preference. +2. **EU AI Act conformity is consequential and slow.** A high-risk AI use case requires 3-12 months of conformity work + EU database registration + 10 Articles of obligations. Discovering this 2 weeks before EU launch is a category of pain this skill prevents. +3. **API vs self-hosted breakeven is much higher than founders expect.** For 70B-class on rented A100s, breakeven is typically 1-10 billion tokens per month — not the 100M-500M most founders intuit. Self-hosting "to save money" usually wastes engineering capacity. +4. **AI team confusion costs 12 months of productivity.** Hiring a research scientist as first AI hire is the single most common AI hiring mistake, and it's expensive to undo. + +### Built with Karpathy-Coder Discipline + +Maintained the discipline established in v2.5.2: + +- **Principle 1 (Think before coding):** assumptions surfaced upfront before file writes.

If frontier API is already at 90%+ accuracy, fine-tune to a smaller model usually drops it to 80-85%. The "better results" framing is backwards. +- "Fine-tune to save money."

Matches the dual-publish pattern established by feature-flags-architect / kubernetes-operator / chaos-engineering / ship-gate / slo-architect in engineering. Layout (per scripts/sync_skill_bundles.py spec): Standalone: c-level-advisor/<skill>/skills/<skill>/{SKILL.md, scripts, references} Bundled: c-level-advisor/skills/<skill>/{SKILL.md, scripts, references} (already existed) The two locations are kept in sync by scripts/sync_skill_bundles.py; `--check` passes for all 3 new standalone wrappers. Added (per skill): - <skill>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json (ClawHub-compliant 8 fields, "skills": "./skills") - <skill>/README.md (notes dual-publish + sync mechanism) - <skill>/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md (mirror) - <skill>/skills/<skill>/scripts/* (mirror; 2 for GC, 3 each for CDO/CAIO) - <skill>/skills/<skill>/references/* (mirror; 3 for GC, 4 each for CDO/CAIO) marketplace.json: 3 new entries (category: leadership), now 37 plugins total. Validation: - scripts/check_plugin_json.py: OK on all 3 new plugin.json files (rejects bare "./") - scripts/sync_skill_bundles.py --check: OK on all 3 standalone wrappers - karpathy-coder/diff_surgeon: 0 findings - All JSON validates Discoverability gain: a founder who wants ONLY the General Counsel skill (or only CDO or CAIO) can install it standalone, without pulling the full 31-skill c-level-skills bundle. The c-level-skills bundle continues to work unchanged; this PR is purely additive. Carried over (still not in scope for this PR): - cs-general-counsel-advisor voice spec missing from persona-voices.md - broken paths in pre-existing cs-ceo-advisor.md / cs-cto-advisor.md - Phase 2

Quality regressions are invisible without sustained eval discipline. + +**Don't hire yet:** ML engineer, research scientist, data scientist (use cs-cdo skill's data team org for data hires). + +**When to move to stage 3:** 3+ AI features in production OR fine-tuning becomes economically justified (see `ai_cost_economics.md`). + +### Stage 3: Series B +**Team size:** 50-200. **AI team:** 3-7. + +**Third hire: AI/ML platform engineer.** + +Profile: +- Strong infra background (Kubernetes, distributed systems) +- Inference platform experience (vLLM, TGI, TensorRT-LLM) +- Evals + observability + monitoring +- Can run a fine-tune pipeline + +Why now: with 3+ AI features in production, the AI engineers can no longer maintain shared infra AND ship features. Platform engineer owns: inference serving, eval harness, deployment pipeline, model registry, monitoring. + +**Fourth hire: Third AI engineer (production reliability).** + +Why: AI features in production accumulate maintenance burden. Bug fixes, edge cases, customer escalations. Dedicated reliability focus prevents the AI team from being 100% reactive. + +**Conditional fifth hire: ML engineer (if fine-tuning is real).** + +Hire only when: +- Decision A from `model_buildvsbuy_strategy.md` returned FINE_TUNE +- Labeled data available (≥10K examples) +- Multi-quarter commitment to fine-tune approach +- Platform engineer in place (so ML engineer isn't blocked on infra) + +ML engineer profile: production ML deployment, training loops, monitoring. Different from AI engineer (full-stack + prompts) and from research scientist (model invention). + +**Don't hire yet:** Research scientist (unless model IS your product), Head of AI. + +**When to move to stage 4:** AI team is 5+ people, AI is in 4+ product surfaces, OR competing in a domain where model is a moat. + +### Stage 4: Growth (Series C / pre-IPO) +**Team size:** 200-1000. **AI team:** 7-30. + +**Sixth hire: Manager of AI Engineering.** + +Profile: +- Has managed 4-8 engineers +- Strong applied AI background (was an AI engineer) +- Cross-functional (works with product, eng, data, legal) + +Why: at 5-7 reports, the original AI lead can no longer code AND manage. Promote internally if possible. + +**Seventh hire: ML research scientist (IF model is core IP).** + +Triggers: +- You're competing in a model-quality lane (e.g., specialized domain coding model, scientific simulation) +- Fine-tuning is core to differentiation, not commodity +- Customer-facing capability cannot be served by frontier APIs + +Profile: +- PhD or equivalent research track record +- Has shipped production research (not just papers) +- Hybrid academic + industry experience + +Don't hire research scientist if you can serve every use case with frontier APIs + fine-tuning. Research is expensive ($400K+ TC at Series C+). + +**Eighth hire: AI safety / red team engineer (IF customer-facing AI).** + +Triggers: +- Customer-facing AI generates content (chatbot, writing assistant, agent) +- Brand risk from AI output is non-trivial (B2C, regulated industry) +- Pre-launch security review revealed prompt injection / jailbreak risk + +Responsibilities: red-team production AI; adversarial test prompt; jailbreak/prompt-injection regression suite; content safety monitoring; model card review. + +**Ninth hire: Head of AI / VP AI.** + +Triggers: +- AI team is 10+ people +- AI strategy needs an executive who isn't the CTO +- Compliance / governance becomes board-level concern (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF) + +Profile: has run AI org at $50M+ ARR; technical depth + strategic clarity; business judgment; comfortable with board reporting. + +**Centralize-vs-embed for AI:** + +Unlike data, AI typically stays **centralized longer**. Reasons: +- AI surface area is smaller (4-8 features, not 30 dashboards) +- Eval discipline benefits from one team owning quality +- Multi-vendor abstraction layer (LiteLLM etc.) benefits from one owner + +**When to embed AI engineers in product teams:** when AI is deployed in 5+ distinct product surfaces AND product teams complain that central AI team doesn't understand their domain. + +**When to move to stage 5:** AI team is 25+ people, multiple domains with their own AI leadership, AI has its own P&L. + +### Stage 5: Late-stage (Series D+, post-IPO) +**Team size:** 1000+. **AI team:** 30-200+. + +**CAIO hire or promotion.** + +Triggers: +- AI is in the company's strategic narrative (board deck, investor calls) +- AI has its own P&L (productized AI features, AI-driven monetization) +- Multiple regulatory regimes apply (EU AI Act conformity assessment, NIST AI RMF in federal contracts) +- Head of AI is escalating AI-strategy questions to CTO and it's not landing well + +CAIO profile: +- Has run AI org at $100M+ ARR scale +- Comfortable with board reporting on AI strategy +- Strong on AI governance + safety + policy +- Strategic, not just technical + +**Federated CAIO model (late-stage):** + +At thousands-of-people scale, the CAIO often runs: +- Central platform team (inference, evals, model registry, governance) +- Central safety / red team +- Federated AI leaders embedded per business unit +- AI product leaders for productized AI features + +## Role Definitions (founders confuse these) + +| Role | Owns | Does NOT own | +|---|---|---| +| AI engineer (applied) | Prompts, RAG, agent design, evals, AI feature deployment | Inference infra, model invention | +| AI/ML platform engineer | Inference serving (vLLM/TGI), eval harness, model registry, monitoring | Prompts, agent design, model invention | +| ML engineer | Fine-tuning pipelines, model deployment, retraining | Model invention, prompts, agent design | +| Research scientist | Model invention, novel architectures, papers | Production deployment, ops | +| Data scientist | Statistical analysis, A/B tests, experimentation | Production deployment, model invention | +| AI safety / red team | Adversarial testing, jailbreak suite, content safety, model card review | Feature shipping | +| AI PM | AI roadmap, intake, prioritization, stakeholder mgmt | IC delivery | +| Head of AI | AI strategy, hiring, budget, exec representation | Day-to-day IC work | +| CAIO | AI + AI-policy strategy at board level, governance, P&L | Day-to-day execution | + +## AI Team vs Data Team + +**Key differences:** + +| Aspect | AI team | Data team | +|---|---|---| +| Primary deliverable | Production AI features | Data products + analyses | +| First hire | AI engineer (applied) | Analyst | +| Tooling | Inference platform, eval harness, vector stores | Warehouse, dbt, BI | +| Output cadence | Feature releases | Dashboard releases, ad-hoc analyses | +| Centralize-vs-embed inflection | 5+ product surfaces (later) | 3+ functional teams (earlier) | +| Adjacent eng team | Product engineering | Analytics engineering | +| Eval discipline | High (model quality) | Medium (data quality) | +| External regulatory exposure | High (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF) | Medium (GDPR, CCPA) | + +**They should report to different leaders** at Series C+: CAIO owns AI; CDO owns data.

Pay per token. No infrastructure. + +**Use when:** +- Use case is well-served by general capability (chat, summarization, classification, code, writing) +- QPS < 100/sec sustained +- Latency budget > 1 second +- No data residency constraints +- Monthly cost < $50K at current volume +- Team has 0-1 ML engineers + +**Why it dominates at startup scale:** +- Frontier APIs in 2026 are 10–100x more capable than any in-house fine-tune. Model cards show Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and Gemini 2.5 outperform fine-tuned Llama 3.1 70B on most reasoning benchmarks by 20–40 points. +- Zero infrastructure overhead. No GPUs, no MLOps, no on-call. +- Pay-as-you-go scales linearly; no capacity planning. +- Vendor handles security patches, weight updates, alignment improvements. + +**Failure modes:** +- **Vendor lock-in.** Mitigation: use abstraction layer (LiteLLM, OpenRouter, Portkey) so you can swap providers in days, not months. +- **Capability drift between versions.** Mitigation: pin model IDs; run regression evals before upgrading. +- **Rate limits at QPS spikes.** Mitigation: confirm Tier-4+ pricing with the provider; pre-arrange burst capacity. +- **Cost growth.** Below $50K/mo it's noise; above $200K/mo, revisit fine-tune. Above $1M/mo, revisit self-hosted. +- **Data residency.** EU customers may require EU-only data processing; verify provider supports your region. + +**Anti-patterns:** +- "We need privacy, so we have to self-host." Almost always false at startup scale. Use enterprise contracts with zero-retention provisions instead. +- "Frontier APIs are too expensive." Run the math. Below ~100M tokens/month, API is almost always cheapest including hidden costs. + +### Path 2: Fine-tune a smaller open model (the 15% case) + +**What it is:** Take an open-weights model (Llama 3.1 70B, Qwen 2.5 72B, Mistral, DeepSeek) and fine-tune via LoRA / QLoRA / full fine-tune for your domain. + +**Use when:** +- Domain-specific behavior the API can't be prompted into (medical coding patterns, legal redlining style, regulated terminology) +- Latency budget < 500ms sustained (frontier APIs typically p95 at 600-1500ms for non-trivial responses) +- High volume (>500M tokens/month) where TCO favors fine-tune +- Labeled data available (≥10K high-quality examples typical for LoRA) +- ML engineering capacity (≥2 engineers comfortable with HuggingFace, vLLM, fine-tuning loops) + +**Fine-tuning approaches (from least to most invasive):** + +| Approach | What it changes | When to use | Cost | +|---|---|---|---| +| Few-shot prompting | Nothing (in-context) | First attempt, always | $0 setup | +| Prompt engineering + system prompt | Nothing | When few-shot insufficient | $0 setup | +| RAG (retrieval-augmented) | Adds knowledge, not behavior | When you need facts, not style | $5-50K setup | +| LoRA fine-tuning | Adapter weights only | Behavior + style adjustments | $10-50K | +| Full fine-tuning | All weights | Major behavioral shift | $50-200K | +| RLHF / DPO | Alignment to preferences | Subjective quality (writing, support) | $100-500K | +| Continued pre-training | Domain knowledge baked in | Truly novel domain (medical, scientific) | $500K-5M | + +**Failure modes:** +- **Quality lags frontier by ~6 months.** Frontier model improvements outpace your fine-tune cycle. Plan for refresh every 12-18 months. +- **Retraining cadence is a recurring engineering cost.** Quarterly retraining typical; budget 30% of one ML engineer. +- **Without an eval set, fine-tune drift is invisible.** You won't know quality degraded until a customer complains. +- **Inference is your problem now.** Fine-tuned models often run via hosted inference (Together, Fireworks, Replicate) for $0.50-2.00/M tokens; self-host adds operational complexity. + +**Anti-patterns:** +- "Fine-tune to get better results." If frontier API is already at 90%+ accuracy, fine-tune to a smaller model usually drops it to 80-85%. The "better results" framing is backwards. +- "Fine-tune to save money." Only economically valid at high volume (>500M tokens/mo); below that, API wins even at frontier-premium pricing. + +### Path 3: Build from scratch / pre-train (the <1% case) + +**What it is:** Train a foundation model from scratch. + +**Use when:** Almost never. Only: +- You are a foundation-model company (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere, Mistral, DeepSeek, etc.). +- You have a uniquely valuable corpus + $50M+ funding + 18-month patience. +- Your moat IS the model. + +**Why it rarely makes sense:** +- Frontier models have caught up to specialized models in most domains within 18 months (medical, legal, code). +- By the time you ship, frontier capability has advanced 2 generations. +- Pre-training cost: $5M-50M+ depending on model size and data. +- Hidden cost: continued pre-training and alignment to keep up. + +**Failure modes:** +- **Sunk cost trap.** Once you've spent $20M pre-training, sunk cost bias prevents switching to frontier APIs even when they're better. +- **Talent dependency.** Pre-training requires research scientists who can leave for $1M+ TC at frontier labs. +- **Compute access.** H100 / B200 supply remains constrained; access depends on hyperscaler relationships. + +## Decision Tree (use the calculator for the full version) + +1. **Is this well-served by frontier capability?** (YES → API, unless...) +2. **Do you have data residency / sovereignty constraints?** (YES → fine-tune self-hosted) +3. **Do you have domain-specific behavior the API can't be prompted into?** (YES + labeled data + team → fine-tune) +4. **Latency budget < 500ms?** (YES → fine-tune at high volume; API + streaming may suffice at lower volume) +5. **Volume > 500M tokens/month + multi-year stable workload?** (YES → run breakeven, consider fine-tune) +6. **All above NO + need maximum capability?** → API frontier-premium tier + +## The Eval-First Discipline + +**Rule:** Don't pick a path without an eval set.

Storage is commodity. Building distributed storage is a 50-engineer-year investment with zero business return unless you ARE a data infra company. + +**Only build if:** You're a database company. + +### ELT / Ingest + +**Almost always BUY.** Fivetran, Airbyte, Stitch, Meltano. The connector maintenance burden (200+ source APIs, all changing constantly) is unjustifiable for any non-data-infra company. + +**Only build if:** Source isn't supported by any vendor AND is business-critical AND you'll contribute the connector upstream so you're not maintaining a fork forever. + +### Modeling / Transformations + +**Always BUILD.** dbt is the de facto standard (open source). Your domain logic encoded in dbt models IS your data IP. No vendor can supply your domain understanding. + +**Variants to evaluate:** +- dbt Core (open source) → free, self-hosted, requires orchestration (Airflow/Dagster/Prefect) +- dbt Cloud → managed, expensive at scale, simpler ops +- SQLMesh → newer, claims better state management +- Coalesce → visual SQL, expensive + +### BI / Dashboards + +**Almost always BUY.** Metabase (cheap, OSS option), Looker (enterprise, semantic layer), Mode (analyst-friendly + SQL), Hex (notebooks + dashboards), Tableau (legacy strong), Sigma (spreadsheet UX). + +**Build only if:** You're shipping embedded analytics as a customer-facing feature (then evaluate Cube.dev, Embeddable, or build on Apache Superset). + +**Embedded analytics is a real build-vs-buy:** for B2B SaaS shipping dashboards to customers, the choice between embedding a vendor (Cube + custom UI) vs full custom (Superset + heavy frontend) is significant. Buy-with-customization usually wins until 100K+ customer-tenants. + +### Feature Store + +**DEFER until you have 3+ ML models in production.** + +**Then:** Tecton (managed, expensive, mature) or Hopsworks (alternative) for BUY; Feast (open source, lighter) for BUILD-on-OSS. + +**Why defer:** Feature stores solve feature reuse + governance. With 1 model, you have 0 features-to-reuse. The operational overhead of a feature store exceeds the value below ~3 models sharing features. + +### ML Platform + +**DEFER until you have 5+ ML models in production.** + +**Then:** Databricks ML, Vertex AI (Google), SageMaker (AWS), or Azure ML. + +**Why defer:** ML platforms wrap experiment tracking, model registry, deployment, monitoring.

Master Service Agreement (MSA) — Vendor Side (you signing theirs) + +**What it is:** The umbrella contract for an ongoing relationship with a vendor (cloud, tooling, services, agencies). Usually paired with one or more SOWs / Order Forms. + +**Top 5 redlines to push:** + +1. **Auto-renewal:** Cut notice period to 30 days max. Reject 60/90/180 day notice. +2. **Liability cap:** Insist on 12 months of fees. Reject "fees in the preceding 3 months" (too narrow). +3. **Mutual indemnification:** Reject one-sided. Mirror the scope on both sides. +4. **IP ownership of deliverables:** All work product belongs to you. Vendor retains rights to pre-existing tools / methodologies, granted back to you for use. +5. **Data: DPA + return-or-destroy on termination.** Specifically: vendor cannot use your data to train AI models. + +**Bonus catch:** Watch for "Vendor may modify these terms upon notice" — this means the contract you signed isn't the contract you have. + +## 2. Customer SaaS Agreement (your paper) + +**Standard structure:** + +1. License grant (subscription, scope, term) +2. Acceptable use policy (what customer can/can't do) +3. Fees & payment (annual prepay vs. monthly, late fee, currency) +4. Service Level Agreement (uptime %, credits, exclusions) +5. Confidentiality (mutual, residuals carve-out) +6. Data Protection (DPA exhibit, subprocessor list, security commitments) +7. Warranties (limited, disclaim implied) +8. Indemnification (mutual, IP-infringement focused) +9. Limitation of liability (12 months fees, carve-outs for IP/data breach/willful) +10. Term & termination (term, termination for cause, termination for convenience) + +**Founder traps when accepting customer redlines:** + +- "Most-favored-nation" pricing (means you can never give anyone else a better deal). +- Uncapped liability for data breach with no minimum threshold. +- Customer right to perpetual license-back of "improvements" to your product. +- Customer "ownership" of any custom configuration (often hiding IP creep). +- Source-code escrow with auto-release triggers tied to customer convenience. + +## 3. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) + +**One-way (you receiving):** Acceptable to sign without redlines for short evaluations. + +**Mutual NDA (both directions):** The default for ongoing discussions. + +**Critical carve-outs (always include):** + +- **Residuals:** Information retained in unaided memory after end of engagement is not confidential. +- **Independent development:** If you build something similar without using their info, it's yours. +- **Public domain:** Information already public is not confidential. +- **Rightfully received:** Information received from a third party without confidentiality obligation. +- **Required by law:** Information disclosed under subpoena (with notice). + +**Founder trap:** NDAs that prevent you from "engaging in similar business" — that's a non-compete in disguise. Strip it out. + +## 4. Data Processing Agreement (DPA) + +**Required when:** Personal data of EU residents flows (GDPR Article 28), or California residents (CCPA / CPRA), or HIPAA-covered data, or biometrics in IL/TX/WA (BIPA). + +**Standard structure (GDPR-aligned):** + +- Scope of processing (what data, what purpose) +- Controller / Processor designation +- Subprocessor list + flow-down obligations +- Data subject rights (access, deletion, portability) +- Security measures (encryption, access controls, training) +- Breach notification timelines (within 72 hours for GDPR) +- Audit rights (annual, reasonable) +- International transfer mechanism (SCCs, adequacy decision, BCRs) +- Return-or-destroy on termination + +**Templates:** Use IAPP, EU Commission SCCs, or vendor-friendly DPA (e.g., Vanta's, Stripe's). + +**Founder trap:** Missing DPA when EU/CA data flows = contract may be unenforceable AND regulatory fine exposure. + +## 5. Employment Agreement / Offer Letter + +**Must-have provisions:** + +- **At-will employment** (US most states; not enforceable in MT for example) +- **Compensation:** salary, bonus structure, equity (option grant separately documented) +- **Invention assignment:** all IP created during employment using company resources belongs to company +- **Confidentiality:** ongoing duty, surviving termination +- **Non-solicit:** 12 months post-termination, employees + customers (carve out general advertising) +- **Non-compete:** state-dependent (CA, ND, OK, DC: void; many other states: enforceable if reasonable) +- **Arbitration:** mutual, AAA or JAMS rules, employer pays fees + +**Founder traps:** + +- Forgetting to require employees to sign **before** starting work (otherwise IP assignment is weak). +- Not including a "previously created inventions" exhibit (lets founders document pre-existing IP brought into the company). +- Skipping background checks for senior hires. + +## 6. Contractor / 1099 Agreement + +**Critical differences from employment:** + +- **IP assignment is NOT automatic.** Without a written clause, the contractor owns what they create (under US law, "work for hire" applies only to specific categories of work). +- **Misclassification risk:** If a contractor functions like an employee (controlled hours, exclusive engagement, supplied equipment), tax authorities can reclassify, triggering back taxes + penalties. +- **No benefits, no withholding, contractor handles their own taxes.** + +**Must-have provisions:** + +- **Explicit work-for-hire OR written IP assignment** ("Contractor hereby assigns all right, title, and interest..."). +- **Independent contractor status:** contractor controls means and methods. +- **Termination:** 30-day notice, immediate for cause. +- **Indemnification:** contractor indemnifies you for misclassification claims if they misrepresent status. + +**Tooling:** Use Deel, Remote, or Velocity Global for international contractors to handle classification correctly. + +## 7. Equity Agreements (Option Grants, Advisor Grants) + +**Employee option grant:** + +- **Strike price:** must be ≥ fair market value (FMV) at grant date (409A valuation, refreshed annually). +- **Vesting:** standard 4 years, 1 year cliff, monthly thereafter. +- **Exercise window post-termination:** 90 days standard; 7-10 years is founder-friendly. +- **ISO vs NSO:** ISOs have tax advantages (long-term capital gains if held) but limits ($100K vest/year) and US-citizen-only. + +**Advisor grant (FAST template by Founder Institute):** + +- 0.1% - 1% equity vested over 1-2 years, depending on level and stage. +- 2-year vesting, no cliff (advisors are tested through engagement, not retention). +- Single trigger acceleration on change of control (rare; double trigger more common). + +**Founder trap:** + +- Issuing options before completing the 409A valuation — strike price might be challenged by IRS. +- Verbal promises about acceleration — must be in writing. +- Forgetting to issue option grants to early employees within 90 days of hire (loses ISO eligibility). + +## Quick Triage Heuristics + +When you have 5 minutes to look at a contract: + +1. **Find the liability cap.** No cap or > 24 months of fees = red flag. +2. **Find the indemnity clauses.** One-sided = red flag. +3. **Find the IP clause.** Vague or "as agreed" = red flag. +4. **Find the term + termination.** Auto-renewal with > 30 day notice = red flag. +5. **Find the choice of law/venue.** Exclusive in counterparty home jurisdiction = red flag. + +Run `scripts/contract_risk_scanner.py` for the automated version. + +--- + +**Final reminder:** This is a triage playbook.

A contractor who built a critical service for 6 months and never signed an assignment can come back years later and demand a license — or assert that competitors can also use what they built. + +**The "previously created inventions" exhibit:** Every IP assignment should include an exhibit where the signer lists pre-existing inventions they want to exclude. This protects everyone — the signer's prior work isn't accidentally assigned, and the company has documentation of what came in. + +### Open Source License Compliance + +**Permissive licenses** (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD 2/3): Use freely, attribute, no copyleft. + +**Weak copyleft** (LGPL, MPL): Can use in proprietary product; modifications to the OSS itself must be released. Distribution model matters. + +**Strong copyleft** (GPL v2, GPL v3, AGPL): Distribution / SaaS use of a strong-copyleft component can require releasing your derivative work under the same license. **AGPL is the most aggressive** — it applies even when you only run the software on a server (SaaS / network use). + +**Practice:** + +1. Maintain an OSS inventory: `pip-licenses`, `license-checker` (npm), `cargo-license`, `go-licenses`. +2. Identify any GPL / AGPL / SSPL dependencies. +3. For each: either (a) comply with the license, (b) replace with a permissively-licensed alternative, or (c) document the carve-out (some companies build internally with GPL but only ship the binary externally — verify with counsel). +4.

They drive ~80% of the founder economics impact. + +### 1. Liquidation Preference + +**What it is:** Investors get their investment back (the "preference") before founders see anything in an exit. + +**The dimensions:** + +- **Multiple:** 1x (standard) means $1 back per $1 invested. 2x means $2 back. Higher = more hostile. +- **Participating vs Non-participating:** + - **Non-participating (founder-friendly):** Investor chooses preference OR convert to common at exit. Most exits hit the conversion threshold, so preference is effectively just downside protection. + - **Participating ("double-dip"):** Investor gets preference back AND a pro-rata share of remaining proceeds as if converted. Significantly increases investor take in mid-range exits. +- **Cap:** Caps the total return at, say, 2x or 3x of investment for participating preferences. Limits the double-dip. + +**Standard (Series A/B):** 1x non-participating. + +**Hostile flavors:** +- 1x participating uncapped (significant founder dilution at exit) +- 2x preference (only acceptable in distressed rounds) +- Multi-stack preferences (Series A + Series B both get their preferences before any common) + +**Pushback:** "Our standard is 1x non-participating. Participating preferences create misalignment with management at exit." + +### 2. Option Pool — Pre-Money vs Post-Money + +**The "option pool shuffle":** Investors typically require an unallocated option pool (10-20% of post-money) to be created **before** the new investment. If this comes out of pre-money, founders are diluted; if post-money, all shareholders dilute proportionally. + +**Example math (Series A):** + +| Scenario | Pre-Money | Pool Size | Effective Pre-Money for Founders | +|---|---|---|---| +| $30M pre, 10% pool pre-money | $30M | 10% of post | ~$26M (10% comes from founders) | +| $30M pre, 10% pool post-money | $30M | 10% of post | $30M (pool spread across all) | + +**Standard:** 10-15% pool, often pre-money at Series A. Founder-friendly: smaller pool or post-money. + +**Pushback:** "We've modeled our hiring plan and 8% supports the next 18 months. Let's right-size to actual need, not standard percentage." Or: "Pool top-up should come out of post-money so the new investor shares the dilution." + +### 3. Anti-Dilution + +**What it is:** Protection for investors against future down rounds. If a later round prices below the current, the current investor's price is adjusted retroactively. + +**Flavors (least to most hostile):** + +- **None:** Rare; only in seed SAFEs sometimes. +- **Broad-based weighted average (standard):** Adjusts using all shares (common, options, warrants). Modest founder dilution in a down round. +- **Narrow-based weighted average:** Uses only preferred. More dilutive than broad-based. +- **Full ratchet (hostile):** Investor's price resets entirely to the new round's price. Massively dilutive to founders. + +**Standard:** Broad-based weighted average. + +**Pushback:** "Full ratchet is non-starter at this stage. Narrow-based is unusual. We need broad-based weighted average — this is the NVCA standard." + +--- + +## The Full Glossary + +### Board Composition + +**Standard at Series A:** 2 founders / 1 investor / 1 independent (or 1 founder / 1 investor / 1 independent for solo founders). + +**At Series B:** Often 2 / 2 / 1 (balanced with independent tie-breaker). + +**At Series C+:** Often investors get majority (signals control transition). + +**Founder protection:** Always insist on the independent seat. Independent directors prevent deadlock and provide a neutral voice. + +**Pushback on investor-majority boards at A:** "Investor control of the board at Series A is premature. Let's keep founder control with an independent tie-breaker until Series B." + +### Vesting (for founders) + +**Founder vesting in a financing:** Investors often require founder shares to be subject to vesting (re-vesting if you already exercised). Standard: 4 years, 1-year cliff. Often the cliff is waived if you've been at the company > 1 year. + +**Acceleration:** + +- **Single trigger:** All unvested shares vest immediately upon change of control. Founder-friendly but rare; investors resist. +- **Double trigger (standard):** Acceleration requires (a) change of control AND (b) involuntary termination of the founder within X months. Industry standard at Series A+. + +**Pushback:** "Double-trigger acceleration is industry standard. Without it, founders are exposed to acquirer post-acquisition staffing decisions." + +### Pro-Rata Rights + +**What it is:** The right (but not obligation) to participate in future rounds proportionally to maintain ownership. + +**Standard:** Lead investor + major investors (typically those above some ownership threshold) get pro-rata. Smaller checks often don't. + +**Founder impact:** Granting pro-rata is generally fine — it shows investor conviction and aligns long-term. The cost is small dilution in future rounds. + +**Pushback:** Only push back if there's a long tail of small investors each demanding pro-rata; cap to "major investors" defined by ownership %. + +### Drag-Along + +**What it is:** If a majority approves a sale, all shareholders must agree (including minority holders, including founders who later become minority). + +**Founder-friendly version:** Drag-along requires founder consent OR a minimum sale price threshold (e.g., > 3x liquidation preference). + +**Hostile version:** Drag-along with no founder consent and no price floor. Investors can force a sale at any price over founder objection. + +**Pushback:** "Drag-along is standard, but we need founder consent OR a price floor." + +### Protective Provisions + +**What it is:** Investor consent rights for certain corporate decisions. + +**Standard (NVCA model):** + +- Issuing new senior or pari-passu preferred stock +- Authorizing new shares above existing pool +- Liquidating, merging, or selling the company +- Amending the charter or bylaws +- Increasing the board size +- Paying dividends +- Major debt + +**Aggressive (push back):** + +- Approving the annual budget +- Hiring or firing executives +- Setting compensation above thresholds +- Approving individual contracts above thresholds +- Capital expenditures above thresholds + +**Pushback:** "We're aligned on the NVCA standard list. Operating decisions like budget and hiring are management's responsibility — protective provisions are for fundamental corporate changes." + +### Information Rights + +**Standard:** Quarterly unaudited financials, annual audited financials, annual budget. + +**Aggressive (push back):** Monthly financials, board observer rights, weekly KPI dashboards, inspection rights at will. + +**Pushback:** "Standard quarterly + annual is enough. Monthly creates significant CFO overhead at our stage. We'll commit to ad-hoc updates on material events." + +### Dividends + +**Standard:** None (default). + +**Acceptable:** Non-cumulative dividends "when and if declared by the board" — almost never paid in practice. + +**Hostile:** Cumulative dividends accrue every year regardless of declaration and must be paid in cash at exit. This is a creeping liquidation preference. + +**Pushback:** "Cumulative dividends create a hidden liquidation preference that accrues over time. Non-cumulative when-declared, or none, is standard." + +### Right of First Refusal (ROFR) / Co-Sale + +**What it is:** If founders try to sell shares to a third party, investors have the right to buy first (ROFR) or to sell alongside (co-sale). + +**Founder-friendly:** Standard ROFR + co-sale for all preferred; founders can still do secondary up to small thresholds without triggering. + +**Hostile:** No secondary at all without unanimous investor consent. + +**Pushback:** "We need to allow modest founder secondary (e.g., up to $1M aggregate) without investor consent — this is needed for founder financial planning." + +### Founder Liquidity + +**What it is:** Built-in secondary at later rounds (Series B/C) where founders sell some shares. + +**Standard:** Becoming more common; 10-20% of round size as founder secondary. + +**Pushback:** Raise this in Series B+ discussions; not typically negotiated at Series A. + +### Most Favored Nation (MFN) + +**What it is:** If you give a later investor better terms, the MFN-holder gets the same terms retroactively. + +**Common in:** Seed SAFEs and convertible notes; rare in priced rounds. + +**Founder trap:** MFN provisions can prevent you from offering competitive terms to new lead investors later. Be specific about what's covered (just SAFE terms? all terms?). + +### No-Shop / Exclusivity + +**What it is:** During due diligence, you can't shop the round to other investors. + +**Standard:** 30-45 days. Founder-friendly. Investor-aligned because it shows commitment. + +**Pushback only if:** > 60 days, or if it extends post-execution of definitive docs. + +--- + +## Founder-Friendly Defaults (Cheat Sheet) + +| Clause | Founder-Friendly Default | +|---|---| +| Liquidation preference | 1x non-participating | +| Anti-dilution | Broad-based weighted average | +| Option pool | 8-12%, post-money | +| Board (Series A) | 2F / 1I / 1Indep | +| Vesting (founder re-vest) | 4yr / 1yr cliff, often with credit for time served | +| Acceleration | Double-trigger | +| Pro-rata | For lead + major investors | +| Drag-along | Requires founder consent or price floor | +| Protective provisions | NVCA standard list only | +| Information rights | Quarterly + annual + budget | +| Dividends | None or non-cumulative when-declared | +| ROFR / co-sale | Standard, with carve-out for modest founder secondary | +| MFN (in notes/SAFEs) | Avoid if possible; if not, narrow scope | +| No-shop | 30-45 days | + +--- + +## Negotiation Strategy + +**Pick your battles:** A term sheet has 25-40 clauses.

Liquidation preference flavor (participating vs non-participating) +2. Option pool pre-money vs post-money + size +3. Board control and protective provisions + +These are the clauses where you can save 5-10% of founder economics or retain operating control. Everything else is secondary. + +**The "founder-friendly NVCA" framing:** Many investors signal their posture by deviating from the NVCA model (the industry standard documents published by the National Venture Capital Association). Pushing back to "let's use the NVCA standard" is rarely rejected and resolves most issues. + +**Walking away:** If a lead insists on: +- 1x participating uncapped preference +- Full ratchet anti-dilution +- Investor-majority board at Series A +- Cumulative dividends + +These are not standard. A founder-friendly lead doesn't insist on these. Either walk or get specific written justification (sometimes a distressed cap-table situation justifies one of them, but never all). + +--- + +## After Signing + +Once the term sheet is signed: + +1. **No-shop is active.** Don't talk to other investors except to officially decline. +2. **Definitive documents (SPA, IRA, Voting Agreement, ROFR Agreement) take 4-6 weeks.** Don't lose energy here; main fight was the term sheet. +3. **Closing conditions:** legal opinion, secretary's certificate, charter filing, capitalization confirmation. +4. **Wire timing:** Investors often wire 1-3 days after charter filing. Plan accordingly. + +Run `scripts/term_sheet_analyzer.py` on the structured JSON of the term sheet for an automated scoring + flag analysis. + +--- + +**Final reminder:** This document is a decoder, not a negotiation manual.

Clean split. +- **CPO** owns product roadmap; **CCO** surfaces product gaps via churn data. CPO decides; CCO feeds. +- **CHRO** owns CS team comp; **CCO** designs the coverage model + ratios. CHRO executes; CCO designs. + +The differential-investment framework (kill list + upgrade candidates) is the strategically distinct CCO contribution. Most founders avoid the kill-list conversation; this skill makes it mechanical. + +### Built with Karpathy-Coder Discipline (fourth consecutive PR) + +Maintained the discipline established in v2.5.2: + +- **Principle 1:** assumptions surfaced upfront, including the CRO vs CCO split assumption (revenue math vs customer experience). Locked direction before code. +- **Principle 2:** rejected generic "customer success survey" framing. Each tool/reference covers ONE decision. No overlap with `business-growth/customer-success-management/`. +- **Principle 3:** touched only files in the locked plan. No "while I'm here" cleanup of unrelated files.

Ask gross first.) +- **What's the #1 reason customers leave?** (If you can't name it, you don't understand churn.) +- **What's the median time-to-value (TTV) by segment?** (Long TTV in low tier = misfit; long TTV in high tier = onboarding broken.) +- **Which customer would you fire today?** (If "none" — your segmentation is broken; some accounts cost more than they earn.) +- **What's your ARR-per-CSM ratio, and what's the model — pooled or named?** (Stage and ACV determine the right answer.) +- **Is CS in your comp plan, and how is it different from Sales comp?** (CS comp on retention; misalignment is a leading indicator of failure.) + +## Core Responsibilities + +### 1. Retention Decomposition + +**The trap:** "Our NRR is 115%, retention is great." + +The truth: NRR = Gross Retention − Contraction + Expansion. A 115% NRR with 85% gross retention is a leaky bucket masked by upsells. A 115% NRR with 98% gross retention is a healthy product. + +**Mandatory decomposition every quarter:** + +| Metric | What it measures | Health threshold (B2B SaaS) | +|---|---|---| +| **Gross Retention (GRR)** | $ from existing customers minus churn + contraction | ≥ 90% at growth stage; ≥ 95% at scale | +| **Logo Retention** | % of customers who renewed | ≥ 85% at growth; ≥ 90% at scale | +| **Net Revenue Retention (NRR)** | GRR + expansion | ≥ 110% at growth; ≥ 120% at scale | +| **Contraction** | $ from existing customers reducing seats/usage | < 5% annually | +| **Expansion** | $ from existing customers growing | 15-25% annually at healthy | + +**Run** `retention_decomposition_analyzer.py` with cohort data for honest decomposition + churn root-cause categorization. + +See `references/retention_decomposition.md` for the 7-category churn taxonomy + leading indicator playbook. + +### 2. Customer Segmentation + +**The trap:** "Every customer is important." + +The reality: customers exist on a spectrum of ICP fit × strategic value. Treating them identically wastes CS capacity and ignores expansion opportunity. + +**4-tier framework (B2B SaaS baseline):** + +| Tier | ARR range | Coverage | Investment per account/yr | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Strategic** | Top 5%, often $100K+ | Named CSM + executive sponsor | $20K-50K | +| **Enterprise** | Next 15-20%, $20K-100K | Named CSM | $5K-15K | +| **Mid-market** | Next 30-40%, $5K-20K | Pooled CSM + automation | $1K-3K | +| **SMB / Long-tail** | Bottom 40-50%, <$5K | Tech-touch + self-serve | $50-500 | + +**Run** `customer_segmentation_designer.py` to design segmentation tiers + differential investment + ICP fit scoring. + +See `references/customer_segmentation_strategy.md` for ICP fit framework, tier transition triggers, and the kill list (customers below the investment floor). + +### 3. CS Team Coverage Model + +**The trap:** "Hire one CSM per X customers" with a single ratio across all segments. + +The reality: coverage model depends on segment, ACV, and complexity. Pooled CSM works for low-touch; named CSM is required for strategic accounts. + +**Coverage models:** + +| Model | Best for | Ratio (ARR-per-CSM) | Trade-offs | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Tech-touch (no human)** | SMB, low ACV | $5M-15M+ | Automation cost; cannot save high-stakes deals | +| **Pooled CSM** | Mid-market | $2M-5M | Lower cost; less account intimacy | +| **Named CSM** | Enterprise | $500K-2M | Higher cost; deeper relationships | +| **Named CSM + exec sponsor** | Strategic | $300K-1M | Highest cost; reserved for top accounts | + +**Run** `cs_coverage_calculator.py` with book characteristics to calculate required CSM headcount and identify transition thresholds. + +See `references/cs_coverage_model.md` for ratios, ramp curves, and the "when to add a manager" trigger. + +### 4. CS Team Org Evolution + +**The wrong question:** "Should we hire a CSM or a Support engineer?" +**The right question:** "What's the next customer outcome we're failing to deliver, and what role unblocks that?" + +**Critical distinctions (founders confuse these):** + +| Role | Owns | Does NOT own | +|---|---|---| +| Customer Support | Reactive issue resolution (ticket queue) | Renewal, expansion, success outcomes | +| Customer Success Manager | Proactive value realization + renewal + expansion lead | Day-to-day tickets, implementation | +| Account Manager | Commercial relationship + expansion close | Day-to-day success, technical depth | +| Implementation Manager | Onboarding + go-live | Ongoing success after launch | +| CS Operations | Tooling, data, analytics, playbooks | Direct customer relationships | +| Customer Marketing | Advocacy, case studies, references | 1:1 customer relationships | + +See `references/cs_team_org_evolution.md` for stage-to-role map (seed → late-stage) + the AM-vs-CSM split decision. + +## Workflows + +### Workflow 1: Quarterly Retention Review (4 hours) +**Goal:** Decompose retention honestly + identify top-3 churn drivers. + +```bash +# 1.

Reviewers approve to clear the queue, not because they reviewed deeply. Quality drops; rework increases. + +**Fix:** stage refactors into smaller PRs; use feature flags so partial work can ship safely; review draft PRs early. + +### Anti-pattern 2: Flaky CI + +A test that fails intermittently is worse than no test. Engineers re-run, lose trust, eventually disable. Real bugs slip. + +**Fix:** quarantine flaky tests immediately (move to a separate suite); allocate 10-20% of engineering time to a "flaky test budget" per quarter; track flake rate. + +### Anti-pattern 3: Manual Deploy Gates + +Every manual approval adds latency, AND humans approving without context don't actually catch bugs. The gate exists for compliance theatre, not safety. + +**Fix:** automate gates with policy-as-code; use progressive delivery (canary, blue-green) for safety instead of approval; keep manual gates only for legal/compliance reasons. + +### Anti-pattern 4: Scheduled Release Windows + +"Production deploys only on Tuesdays" is a smell. It means the team doesn't trust the deploy pipeline, OR doesn't have rollback discipline, OR is using deploys as a coordination mechanism. + +**Fix:** invest in zero-downtime deploys; build rollback discipline; deploy on demand. + +## What to Fix First + +The DORA research shows a clear priority order: + +1. **Lead Time for Changes** — fix this first. It surfaces every other operating problem. +2. **Change Failure Rate** — once lead time is reasonable, drive down failure rate (mostly via better testing + progressive delivery). +3. **Deployment Frequency** — improves naturally as lead time and failure rate improve. +4. **MTTR** — improves naturally with deploy frequency (smaller blast radius per change). + +If you try to fix MTTR first by adding more monitoring without fixing lead time, you'll just generate alerts faster on a system that's still slow. + +## Operating Discipline + +Quarterly review: + +1. Pull DORA 4 metrics for the last quarter +2. Identify the worst metric (lowest performance level) +3. Identify the bottleneck in cycle time +4. Pick ONE thing to fix in the next quarter +5. Repeat + +Resist the urge to fix everything at once.

Engineering Team Structure + +**The right question:** "How do we organize people so they can ship without coordination overhead?" + +**Three-axis model (adapted from Spotify, refined by reality):** + +- **Squad:** small autonomous team (5-9 engineers) owning a service or product area end-to-end +- **Chapter:** functional discipline cutting across squads (backend chapter, frontend chapter, etc.) — for skill development, NOT for ownership +- **Tribe:** group of related squads working toward a shared goal (e.g., "platform tribe" = 3 squads on infra) + +**When to evolve:** + +| Stage | Structure | +|---|---| +| 1-5 engineers | One team.

Quality drops; rework increases. + +**Fix:** stage refactors into smaller PRs; use feature flags so partial work can ship safely; review draft PRs early. + +### Anti-pattern 2: Flaky CI + +A test that fails intermittently is worse than no test. Engineers re-run, lose trust, eventually disable. Real bugs slip. + +**Fix:** quarantine flaky tests immediately (move to a separate suite); allocate 10-20% of engineering time to a "flaky test budget" per quarter; track flake rate. + +### Anti-pattern 3: Manual Deploy Gates + +Every manual approval adds latency, AND humans approving without context don't actually catch bugs. The gate exists for compliance theatre, not safety. + +**Fix:** automate gates with policy-as-code; use progressive delivery (canary, blue-green) for safety instead of approval; keep manual gates only for legal/compliance reasons. + +### Anti-pattern 4: Scheduled Release Windows + +"Production deploys only on Tuesdays" is a smell. It means the team doesn't trust the deploy pipeline, OR doesn't have rollback discipline, OR is using deploys as a coordination mechanism. + +**Fix:** invest in zero-downtime deploys; build rollback discipline; deploy on demand. + +## What to Fix First + +The DORA research shows a clear priority order: + +1. **Lead Time for Changes** — fix this first. It surfaces every other operating problem. +2. **Change Failure Rate** — once lead time is reasonable, drive down failure rate (mostly via better testing + progressive delivery). +3. **Deployment Frequency** — improves naturally as lead time and failure rate improve. +4. **MTTR** — improves naturally with deploy frequency (smaller blast radius per change). + +If you try to fix MTTR first by adding more monitoring without fixing lead time, you'll just generate alerts faster on a system that's still slow. + +## Operating Discipline + +Quarterly review: + +1. Pull DORA 4 metrics for the last quarter +2. Identify the worst metric (lowest performance level) +3. Identify the bottleneck in cycle time +4. Pick ONE thing to fix in the next quarter +5.

Critical SEO concern: preserve all existing Google SERP indexes; add 301-equivalent redirects for any deleted page. generate-docs.py dedup fix: The auto-generator created BOTH <name>.md (bundled) AND <name>-<name>.md (standalone wrapper) for dual-published skills, producing duplicate-content pages. Updated find_skill_files() to detect the dual-publish pattern (<domain>/<name>/skills/<same-name>/SKILL.md paired with <domain>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md) and skip the standalone mirror in favor of the bundled (canonical) version. mkdocs-redirects plugin added: Added to mkdocs.yml plugins. Provides client-side meta-refresh + JS fallback that preserves URL anchors. Google's SERP indexing treats meta-refresh with delay=0 as 301-equivalent. 4 pre-existing engineering dual-publish dupe pages deleted with redirects: - chaos-engineering-chaos-engineering.md -> chaos-engineering.md - feature-flags-architect-feature-flags-architect.md -> feature-flags-architect.md - kubernetes-operator-kubernetes-operator.md -> kubernetes-operator.md - slo-architect-slo-architect.md -> slo-architect.md Verified: redirect HTML correctly emitted with <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=../canonical/"> + JS fallback.

H100 spot ~$2-5/hour, A100 spot ~$1-3/hour. Llama 3.1 70B / Qwen 2.5 72B: ~$0.50-2.00 per million output tokens at 70% utilization +- **Hidden costs of self-hosting** — ops on-call, monitoring, model updates, scaling overhead, idle time penalty +- **Hidden costs of API** — rate limits requiring multi-vendor failover, vendor lock-in, capability drift between versions, data residency + +**Typical breakeven (frontier-quality):** 100M–500M tokens/month, depending on model size and acceptable quality tradeoff.

The leakage is the answer.) +- **What's the on-call rotation, and who's on it?** (If the same 3 people are always paged, the operating model is broken.) + +## Core Responsibilities + +### 1. Delivery Throughput (DORA Metrics) + +**The framework:** Google DORA's 4 key metrics (from "Accelerate", Forsgren/Humble/Kim 2018). + +| Metric | What it measures | Elite | High | Medium | Low | +|---|---|---|---|---|---| +| **Deployment Frequency** | How often code reaches prod | Multiple/day | Daily-weekly | Weekly-monthly | < monthly | +| **Lead Time for Changes** | Commit → production | < 1 hour | 1 day-1 week | 1 week-1 month | > 1 month | +| **Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)** | Incident detection → resolved | < 1 hour | < 1 day | 1-7 days | > 7 days | +| **Change Failure Rate** | % of deploys causing incidents | 0-15% | 16-30% | 16-45% | 46-60% | + +**Bottleneck identification — where does work wait?** + +Cycle time = (PR creation → first review) + (review → approval) + (approval → merge) + (merge → deploy). The longest segment is the bottleneck. + +Common bottlenecks: +- **PR review queue** (waiting for human reviewers) — fix: reviewer rotation + SLA +- **Test flakiness** (CI fails intermittently, re-runs needed) — fix: flaky-test budget + quarantine +- **Deploy gates** (manual approval, change-control board) — fix: progressive delivery + feature flags +- **Database migrations** (locking, scheduled windows) — fix: zero-downtime migration patterns + +**Run** `delivery_throughput_analyzer.py` with sprint data to get DORA verdict + top bottleneck. + +See `references/delivery_throughput.md` for the full DORA framework, anti-patterns, and what to fix first. + +### 2. Engineering Hiring Funnel + +**The trap:** "We can't find good engineers." + +The reality: the funnel has 4-6 stages, each with a conversion rate. Find which stage is leakiest; fix that one. "Can't find good engineers" usually means top-of-funnel volume is too low or screening criteria are wrong. + +**Standard funnel stages:** + +| Stage | Healthy conversion | What it measures | +|---|---|---| +| Applied → Sourcer screen | 30-50% | Resume quality | +| Sourcer → Recruiter screen | 50-70% | Basic fit | +| Recruiter → Hiring manager | 60-80% | Team fit | +| Hiring manager → Technical interview | 70-85% | Technical baseline | +| Technical → Onsite (full loop) | 30-50% | Technical depth | +| Onsite → Offer | 25-40% | Final go/no-go | +| Offer → Accept | 70-90% | Comp + close discipline | + +**Funnel math:** to hire N engineers, you need N / (product of all conversion rates) candidates at top of funnel. + +Example: 4 hires needed × 100 candidates per stage (assuming 30% × 60% × 70% × 75% × 40% × 35% × 80% = ~0.7% end-to-end) = ~570 candidates at top of funnel. + +**Run** `eng_hiring_funnel_calculator.py` with funnel data to compute conversion per stage, time-to-fill, and pipeline gap. + +See `references/engineering_hiring_funnel.md` for the full funnel framework, common leakage points, and sourcing channel diversification. + +### 3. Engineering Team Structure + +**The right question:** "How do we organize people so they can ship without coordination overhead?" + +**Three-axis model (adapted from Spotify, refined by reality):** + +- **Squad:** small autonomous team (5-9 engineers) owning a service or product area end-to-end +- **Chapter:** functional discipline cutting across squads (backend chapter, frontend chapter, etc.) — for skill development, NOT for ownership +- **Tribe:** group of related squads working toward a shared goal (e.g., "platform tribe" = 3 squads on infra) + +**When to evolve:** + +| Stage | Structure | +|---|---| +| 1-5 engineers | One team. No structure. | +| 6-15 engineers | 2-3 informal pods around major work streams. Founder-CTO can still know everyone. | +| 16-40 engineers | 4-6 squads. First eng manager hires.

Production Discipline + +Production discipline is the operating model that lets the team sleep. Four pillars: + +- **On-call rotation:** broad enough to avoid burnout (≥ 6 people per rotation; primary + secondary) +- **Incident response:** runbooks, severity definitions, blameless postmortems +- **Deployment cadence:** continuous deployment OR scheduled releases; both work; surprise releases don't +- **SLO discipline:** every customer-facing service has documented SLOs + error budgets (pair with `engineering/slo-architect/`) + +See `references/production_discipline.md` for the full operating model. + +## Workflows + +### Workflow 1: Quarterly Delivery Health Review (4 hours) +**Goal:** Diagnose throughput + identify top bottleneck. + +```bash +# 1.

For every active SLO, run slo_review.py — fix any FAIL findings. -2. Look at last quarter's data: - - Was the SLO too easy (never burned budget)? Tighten target. - - Was it too hard (frequently burned)? Loosen target OR fix the system. - - Did burn-rate alerts fire usefully (not too noisy, not too late)? Adjust thresholds. -3. Audit error budget policies — were they actually followed when budget burned? -4. Commit revised SLOs; archive old versions with date stamps. -``` - -### Workflow 3: SLO-driven rollback - -``` -1. New deploy starts burning error budget faster than baseline. -2. Burn-rate alert fires (from error_budget_calculator.py thresholds). -3. Auto-rollback via feature flag (kill switch from feature-flags-architect). -4.

Plans presented for review almost always have at least one. + +**Rule 3: Always suggest a mitigation.** +Every concern should come with a specific mitigation — something the team can actually do. Not "be more careful" — "validate this assumption with 5 customer conversations before committing budget." + +**Rule 4: Never approve without finding a risk.** +If something genuinely looks well-constructed, your job is still to find the most likely failure point. "This looks solid, but here's what I'd watch most closely" is acceptable. "This looks good" with no qualification is not. + +**Rule 5: Target the most important assumptions, not the easiest ones.** +It's easy to find surface-level risks. The valuable work is finding the assumptions the team is most confident about — and stress-testing those. Confident assumptions are dangerous precisely because they don't get questioned. + +--- + +## Concern Structure + +Each of your 3 concerns should follow this format: + +``` +[SEVERITY] Concern #N: [Short title] + +What the plan assumes: [State the assumption explicitly] +Why this might be wrong: [Specific counter-evidence or reasoning] +What happens if it is: [Concrete impact — quantify when possible] +Mitigation: [Specific action that reduces this risk] +``` + +--- + +## Behaviors + +**Do:** +- Be direct. "This is a critical risk because..." not "one might consider..." +- Be specific. Name the assumption, the counter-evidence, the impact. +- Be useful. The goal is to improve the plan, not to torpedo it. +- Engage with the strongest version of the plan, then find its weakness. +- Surface dependencies — places where multiple things must all go right. + +**Don't:** +- List generic risks that apply to any plan ("execution is always hard") +- Repeat the same concern in different words +- Soften concerns to spare feelings +- Say "this looks great" without a genuine risk identified +- Confuse style concerns with substance concerns + +--- + +## Example Output + +**Input:** "We're planning to raise a $5M seed round in Q2, led by a Tier 1 VC we've been in conversations with for 6 weeks." + +**Devil's Advocate Response:** + +``` +[CRITICAL] Concern #1: Single-thread fundraise + +What the plan assumes: The Tier 1 VC will lead the round, and the process +will close in Q2. + +Why this might be wrong: 6 weeks of conversations is early for a lead +commitment. Tier 1 VCs frequently stay in "exploratory" mode for months +before deciding. If they pass — or ask for a reference customer you don't +have — you have no parallel process running and Q2 close becomes impossible. + +What happens if it is: At current burn, Q2 close was assumed for 18 months +of runway. A 3-month slip changes this to 15 months — still manageable, but +you lose the ability to be selective about the round. + +Mitigation: Run parallel conversations with 3–4 additional funds now, even +if the Tier 1 is preferred. Parallel processes also create leverage. + +--- + +[HIGH] Concern #2: Valuation expectation mismatch + +What the plan assumes: Valuation expectations are aligned between you and +the lead investor. + +Why this might be wrong: There's no mention of a term sheet or valuation +discussion. Many founders reach advanced-stage conversations before the +valuation gap becomes apparent. + +What happens if it is: Late-stage valuation misalignment often kills rounds +or forces founder-unfavorable terms under time pressure. + +Mitigation: Have the valuation conversation explicitly in the next meeting, +before other investors are engaged. + +--- + +[HIGH] Concern #3: Q2 close assumption is baked into headcount plan + +What the plan assumes: Q2 close means Q3 hires can proceed on schedule. + +Why this might be wrong: Even if the round closes end of Q2, hiring 4 +senior roles takes 8–12 weeks per role. The revenue impact of those hires +was modeled assuming Q3 start. + +What happens if it is: Revenue in Q4 will be lower than modeled, which +affects the Series A story — you'll be raising on lower numbers than your +projections showed seed investors. + +Mitigation: Either model hiring 6 weeks later in the financial model, +or begin recruiting now for roles you'll close post-funding. +``` + +--- + +## Calibration + +The best devil's advocate responses are the ones the team didn't want to hear but couldn't argue with.

Sub-skills whose parent is a plugin folder (not a top-level skill at <domain>/skills/<name>/) were silently dropped. Affected plugins (standalone-only, no bundled mirror at <domain>/skills/): - executive-mentor (1 index + 5 sub-skills) - agenthub (1 index + 7 sub-skills) - autoresearch-agent (1 index + 5 sub-skills) - playwright-pro (1 index + 9 sub-skills) - self-improving-agent (1 index + 5 sub-skills) - c-level-agents (1 index + 17 sub-skills — the new /cs:* commands) - llm-wiki (1 index + sub-skills) - behuman, code-tour, demo-video, helm-chart-builder, karpathy-coder, llm-cost-optimizer, prompt-governance, statistical-analyst, terraform-patterns, data-quality-auditor, docker-development (single-skill plugins) Total: 79 sub-skills + 12 plugin-index skills = 91 pages were being dropped. (Some plugins like behuman are single-skill so only their index is dropped.) The bug: rendering loop at line 414 only handled `for skill in top_level`, then for each top-level found `children = [s for s in sub_skills if s["parent"] == skill["name"]]`. Plugins where the SKILL.md lives only at <plugin>/skills/<plugin>/SKILL.md don't appear in top_level (their detection puts them in sub_skills with parent=themselves), so their children were orphaned. The fix: after the existing top-level loop, render orphan sub-skills grouped by their plugin parent. Index sub-skill (named same as parent) renders as <parent>.md; other children render as <parent>-<child>.md. This matches the URL convention already in use (e.g., executive-mentor-challenge.md), so existing SEO equity is preserved. Result: skill pages generated 193 → 272 (+79 recovered). Total docs pages 280 → 359. mkdocs build succeeds. Verified: - All 12 previously-dropped plugins render their index page - All 79 previously-dropped sub-skills render their detail pages - URL convention preserved (executive-mentor-challenge.md, agenthub-board.md, playwright-pro-coverage.md, etc.) - karpathy diff_surgeon: 0 findings After dev → main release: GitHub Pages redeploys with the recovered 79 pages. The docs site finally has 1:1 correspondence between SKILL.md files in the repo and pages on the site. https://claude.ai/code/session_012WtZMm5NJHqkYoRqA9fHMN --- .../c-level-agents-boardroom.md | 145

Defensibility +**If this works, what stops a competitor from copying it in 6 months?** +- Network effects, switching costs, data moat, regulatory moat, brand — pick one. +- "We'll execute better" is not a defense. + +### 5.

Clear 33 mkdocs INFO warnings mkdocs build was emitting 33 INFO-level warnings during the docs deploy. Pre-existing noise; not regressions. Three categories: a) 27 unrecognized-link warnings: relative links like `[Skills](skills/)` that mkdocs flags because the path doesn't end in .md. Fix: added explicit `index.md` suffix in 3 manual doc files. - docs/index.md: 15 links - docs/skills/index.md: 11 links - docs/custom-gpts.md: 1 link b) 2 anchor warnings in scrum-master TOC: links pointed to `#analysis-tools--usage` and `#key-metrics--targets` (double hyphen from ampersand) but mkdocs Material's slugify produces single-hyphen slugs. Fix: changed to `#analysis-tools-usage` and `#key-metrics-targets`. c) 4 anchor warnings in senior-computer-vision + senior-data-engineer TOCs: links pointed to non-existent sections. - senior-computer-vision: `#common-commands` TOC entry — no such heading anywhere; removed the entry. - senior-data-engineer: 3 sub-bullets pointing to `#workflow-1-...`, `#workflow-2-...`, `#workflow-3-...` — no such headings (only a parent `## Workflows`); removed the sub-bullets.

AI Risk Register + Annex A Control Mapping + +**The framework:** Clause 6.1.2 requires AI risk assessment; Clause 6.1.3 requires risk treatment. Annex A provides 38 controls organized into 10 control categories (A.2–A.10). The risk register must show each identified risk linked to ≥ 1 control that treats it. + +**Annex A control categories (the 10):** + +| ID | Category | Example controls | +|---|---|---| +| **A.2** | AI policy | A.2.2 AI policy, A.2.3 alignment with other policies | +| **A.3** | Internal organization | A.3.2 AI roles & responsibilities, A.3.3 reporting concerns | +| **A.4** | Resources for AI systems | A.4.2 data resources, A.4.3 tooling, A.4.4 human resources | +| **A.5** | Assessing impacts | A.5.2 AI system impact assessment, A.5.4 documentation of impact assessment | +| **A.6** | AI system lifecycle | A.6.2.2 objectives, A.6.2.3 lifecycle phases, A.6.2.4 verification & validation | +| **A.7** | Data for AI systems | A.7.2 data management, A.7.3 data quality, A.7.4 data provenance, A.7.5 data preparation | +| **A.8** | Information for interested parties | A.8.2 system documentation, A.8.3 user information, A.8.4 communication of incidents | +| **A.9** | Use of AI systems | A.9.2 intended use, A.9.3 monitoring of operation, A.9.4 logging of system events | +| **A.10** | Third-party & customer relationships | A.10.2 supplier relationships, A.10.3 customer relationships | + +ISO/IEC 23894:2023 provides the AI-specific risk-management process (the methodology); 42001 Annex A provides the controls.

Clause 9.2 Internal Audit Plan + +**The framework:** Clause 9.2 requires "internal audits at planned intervals to provide information on whether the AIMS conforms to the organization's requirements and is effectively implemented and maintained."

AI System Risk Classification + +**The framework:** The Act takes a risk-based approach (Recital 26). Each AI system falls into exactly one of four tiers: + +| Tier | Source | Examples | Obligations | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Prohibited** | Article 5 | Social scoring; emotion recognition in workplace/education; subliminal manipulation; real-time public biometrics by law enforcement (with narrow exceptions) | Cannot be placed on market or used (penalties up to EUR 35M / 7% turnover) | +| **High-risk** | Article 6 + Annex III; Article 6(1) + Annex I | CV-screening, credit scoring, biometric categorisation, safety components of regulated products | Articles 8–17 (provider) + Article 26 (deployer); conformity assessment; CE marking | +| **Limited-risk (transparency)** | Article 50 | Chatbots, deepfakes, emotion recognition outside Article 5 contexts | Transparency disclosures to natural persons | +| **Minimal-risk** | Default | Spam filters, video-game AI, inventory forecasters | None under the Act (voluntary codes of conduct, Article 95) | + +**Critical carve-outs (Article 6(3)):** an Annex III system is NOT high-risk if it (a) performs a narrow procedural task, (b) improves the result of previously completed human activity, (c) detects decision-making patterns without replacing human assessment, (d) performs a preparatory task. Caveat: profiling of natural persons is always Annex III high-risk regardless of carve-outs. + +**Run** `ai_system_risk_classifier.py` with system characteristics. The tool checks Article 5 prohibitions first, then Annex III categories, then Article 6(3) carve-outs, then Article 50 transparency, then minimal-risk default. + +See `references/eu_ai_act_titles.md` for the full Article-by-Article walkthrough. + +### 2. Conformity Assessment + Annex IV Technical Documentation + +**The framework (Article 43 + Annex VI/VII):** for high-risk AI systems, the provider must demonstrate conformity before placing on market.

The Acts interact (Recital 10, Article 10 for high-risk training data). + +## Keywords + +EU AI Act, EU AI Regulation, Regulation 2024/1689, AI Act, AI regulation Europe, high-risk AI, prohibited AI, Article 5 AI Act, Article 6 AI Act, Article 9 AI Act, Article 50 AI Act, Annex III, Annex IV, conformity assessment, CE marking AI, notified body AI, Module A, Module H, technical documentation AI, post-market monitoring AI, fundamental rights impact assessment, FRIA, GPAI, general-purpose AI model, systemic risk GPAI, AI Office, ENISA AI, EDPB AI, AI Act timeline, AI Act penalties, EU AI Act provider, EU AI Act deployer, EU AI Act importer, EU AI Act distributor, EU AI Act fines, AI literacy + +## Quick Start + +```bash +# Decision A: Classify an AI system per the Act +python scripts/ai_system_risk_classifier.py # embedded 5-system sample +python scripts/ai_system_risk_classifier.py path/to/systems.json + +# Decision B: Conformity assessment plan for a high-risk system +python scripts/conformity_assessment_planner.py # embedded high-risk sample +python scripts/conformity_assessment_planner.py path/to/system.json + +# Decision C: Obligation tracker per organizational role +python scripts/ai_act_obligation_tracker.py # embedded sample (provider + deployer) +python scripts/ai_act_obligation_tracker.py path/to/roles.json +``` + +## Key Questions (ask these first) + +- **Does this AI system fall under Article 5 (prohibited practices)?** Social scoring, emotion recognition in workplace/education, manipulative subliminal techniques, real-time remote biometric identification in public — any of these are flat-out prohibited. +- **Does it fall under Annex III (high-risk categories)?** 8 categories: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, justice. Triggering Annex III triggers Article 6(2) — unless the Article 6(3) carve-outs apply. +- **What organizational role does the company play?** Provider (placed on market), deployer (uses under own authority), importer (places third-country system on EU market), distributor (makes available in supply chain). Many companies are BOTH provider AND deployer simultaneously. +- **Is this a general-purpose AI model?** GPAI has its own track (Articles 51–55) with stricter rules above 10²⁵ FLOPs training compute (Article 51 systemic risk). +- **For high-risk: have we run Article 9 risk management AND Article 27 FRIA?** Article 9 is the lifecycle risk management; Article 27 is the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment for public-sector deployers + essential services. +- **What's the conformity assessment Module per Article 43?** Module A (internal control, possible for most Annex III systems) vs Module H (full QMS + notified body, required for biometrics + sometimes others). + +## Core Responsibilities + +### 1. AI System Risk Classification + +**The framework:** The Act takes a risk-based approach (Recital 26). Each AI system falls into exactly one of four tiers: + +| Tier | Source | Examples | Obligations | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Prohibited** | Article 5 | Social scoring; emotion recognition in workplace/education; subliminal manipulation; real-time public biometrics by law enforcement (with narrow exceptions) | Cannot be placed on market or used (penalties up to EUR 35M / 7% turnover) | +| **High-risk** | Article 6 + Annex III; Article 6(1) + Annex I | CV-screening, credit scoring, biometric categorisation, safety components of regulated products | Articles 8–17 (provider) + Article 26 (deployer); conformity assessment; CE marking | +| **Limited-risk (transparency)** | Article 50 | Chatbots, deepfakes, emotion recognition outside Article 5 contexts | Transparency disclosures to natural persons | +| **Minimal-risk** | Default | Spam filters, video-game AI, inventory forecasters | None under the Act (voluntary codes of conduct, Article 95) | + +**Critical carve-outs (Article 6(3)):** an Annex III system is NOT high-risk if it (a) performs a narrow procedural task, (b) improves the result of previously completed human activity, (c) detects decision-making patterns without replacing human assessment, (d) performs a preparatory task. Caveat: profiling of natural persons is always Annex III high-risk regardless of carve-outs. + +**Run** `ai_system_risk_classifier.py` with system characteristics. The tool checks Article 5 prohibitions first, then Annex III categories, then Article 6(3) carve-outs, then Article 50 transparency, then minimal-risk default. + +See `references/eu_ai_act_titles.md` for the full Article-by-Article walkthrough. + +### 2. Conformity Assessment + Annex IV Technical Documentation + +**The framework (Article 43 + Annex VI/VII):** for high-risk AI systems, the provider must demonstrate conformity before placing on market. Two routes: + +- **Module A — Internal control** (Annex VI): provider self-assesses against the requirements. Applies to most Annex III systems where the provider has implemented harmonised standards. +- **Module H — Full quality management system + technical documentation** (Annex VII): notified body involvement. Required for biometrics systems (Article 43(1)). + +**Required artifacts per Annex IV — Technical Documentation:** + +1. General description of the AI system (intended purpose, identification, version) +2. Detailed description of system elements (architecture, training data, validation procedures) +3. Information about monitoring, functioning and control +4. Description of risk management system (Article 9) +5. Description of changes after placing on market +6.

Action-verb vocabulary extracted as module constant. - skill_structure_validator.py: 6-check verdict (SKILL.md present, line count, references when split needed, one-level-deep, no circular refs, scripts/ folder note). Refactored to extract _list_md_in_subdir + _collect_links_for_file helpers to keep nesting depth <= 4 per karpathy-coder. - skill_review_checklist_runner.py: combined verdict running all 6 items from Matt's review checklist. Refactored _find_nested_md helper for nesting. 4 in-depth references (each citing 7-8 authoritative sources): - companion_tooling.md: tool catalogue + cs-* wrapper rationale - progressive_disclosure_principles.md: 100-line ceiling + one-level-deep rule with sources (Matt, Anthropic, Don Norman, Pirolli & Card, Maeda, DocOps) - description_design_patterns.md: good vs bad description patterns with sources (Matt, Anthropic, Garrett, Nielsen Norman, Karpathy) - quality_gates_for_skills.md: the 6 mandatory gates + CI integration with sources (Matt, Humble & Farley, Kim et al., Hyrum's Law) cs-skill-author persona agent + /cs:write-a-skill slash command: - Forcing-question interrogator pattern matching our cs-* convention - 6 forcing questions mirroring Matt's 6 review-checklist items - Routes to validators + karpathy-coder gate + attribution check Karpathy-coder validation (full sweep): - complexity_checker: 100/100 across all 3 tools (0 findings) - assumption_linter: CLEAN on all 3 tools - All 3 tools: PASS text + PASS JSON output - All 4 references cite >= 7 authoritative sources (range 7-8) Self-validation note: this skill's own SKILL.md is 141 lines (over Matt's 100-line ceiling) because it preserves Matt's full content verbatim + adds attribution + tooling references. The structure_validator + checklist_runner correctly WARN on this — documented in progressive_disclosure_principles.md as the wrapper-derived exception.

Compressed Clarification Responses + +**Failure:** User asks "Wait, what?" → Response: `Token expiry. Less-than. Fix.` +**Why bad:** User asked for clarification because original was unclear. Compressing further compounds the problem. + +**Correct:** Drop caveman temporarily, explain fully, then resume: + +> The original issue: the token expiry check uses `<` (strict less-than) instead of `<=` (less-than-or-equal). This means tokens at the exact expiry timestamp are rejected even though they should still be valid. The fix changes the operator from `<` to `<=`. +> +> [Resume caveman.] + +### 4. Compressed Irreversible Action Confirmations + +**Failure:** `rm -rf node_modules. Confirm.` +**Why bad:** "Confirm" loses weight without context. User may type "yes" reflexively. + +**Correct:** Drop caveman, state explicitly: + +> About to run `rm -rf node_modules` which permanently deletes the directory. +> +> Reply with the exact string "DELETE" to proceed, or "cancel" to abort. + +The exact-string requirement breaks reflex confirmation. + +### 5. Compressed First-Turn Responses + +**Failure:** User's first message → Response in caveman. +**Why bad:** No shared context yet. Reader can't fill in caveman's gaps. + +**Correct:** First turn establishes context fully. Activate caveman ONLY after user explicitly triggers it (per Matt's activation triggers: "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", `/caveman`, etc.). + +## Less-Obvious Backfire Cases + +### Caveman in Code Review + +Caveman compression on code-review feedback can lose nuance: + +**Failure:** `Bug L42. Var name bad. Refactor.` +**Why bad:** Three findings, no specificity. Engineer can't tell what to fix. + +**Better:** `L42: var name "x" → "userIndex". L67: off-by-one in loop bound.` + +The fix: caveman compresses sentence STRUCTURE, not technical SPECIFICITY. + +### Caveman in Estimates / Forecasts + +Hedging is fluff per Matt's rules. But hedging carries information in estimates: + +**Failure:** `Done by Friday.` (when uncertain) +**Why bad:** Reads as commitment, but actual confidence was 60%. + +**Correct:** Caveman exception for probability claims. State confidence explicitly: + +> Friday delivery — 60% confidence. Risks: API spec churn. + +### Caveman in Multi-Stakeholder Threads + +Caveman is for technical peer-to-peer (or peer-to-self) communication. When non-technical stakeholders are reading: + +**Failure:** `Auth bug. Fix shipping.` +**Why bad:** PM/CEO/non-engineer reader can't decode "Fix shipping" — is shipping affected? + +**Correct:** Drop caveman in stakeholder communication. Save it for technical conversations. + +## Detection Patterns (How `caveman_lint.py` Helps) + +The lint tool detects these markers as exception-zone signals: + +- `**Warning:**` markdown bold + word +- `destructive` +- `irreversible` +- `cannot be undone` + +When present, the linter softens FAIL → WARN.

Many companies are BOTH provider AND deployer simultaneously. +- **Is this a general-purpose AI model?** GPAI has its own track (Articles 51–55) with stricter rules above 10²⁵ FLOPs training compute (Article 51 systemic risk). +- **For high-risk: have we run Article 9 risk management AND Article 27 FRIA?** Article 9 is the lifecycle risk management; Article 27 is the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment for public-sector deployers + essential services. +- **What's the conformity assessment Module per Article 43?** Module A (internal control, possible for most Annex III systems) vs Module H (full QMS + notified body, required for biometrics + sometimes others). + +## Core Responsibilities + +### 1. AI System Risk Classification + +**The framework:** The Act takes a risk-based approach (Recital 26). Each AI system falls into exactly one of four tiers: + +| Tier | Source | Examples | Obligations | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Prohibited** | Article 5 | Social scoring; emotion recognition in workplace/education; subliminal manipulation; real-time public biometrics by law enforcement (with narrow exceptions) | Cannot be placed on market or used (penalties up to EUR 35M / 7% turnover) | +| **High-risk** | Article 6 + Annex III; Article 6(1) + Annex I | CV-screening, credit scoring, biometric categorisation, safety components of regulated products | Articles 8–17 (provider) + Article 26 (deployer); conformity assessment; CE marking | +| **Limited-risk (transparency)** | Article 50 | Chatbots, deepfakes, emotion recognition outside Article 5 contexts | Transparency disclosures to natural persons | +| **Minimal-risk** | Default | Spam filters, video-game AI, inventory forecasters | None under the Act (voluntary codes of conduct, Article 95) | + +**Critical carve-outs (Article 6(3)):** an Annex III system is NOT high-risk if it (a) performs a narrow procedural task, (b) improves the result of previously completed human activity, (c) detects decision-making patterns without replacing human assessment, (d) performs a preparatory task. Caveat: profiling of natural persons is always Annex III high-risk regardless of carve-outs. + +**Run** `ai_system_risk_classifier.py` with system characteristics. The tool checks Article 5 prohibitions first, then Annex III categories, then Article 6(3) carve-outs, then Article 50 transparency, then minimal-risk default. + +See `references/eu_ai_act_titles.md` for the full Article-by-Article walkthrough. + +### 2. Conformity Assessment + Annex IV Technical Documentation + +**The framework (Article 43 + Annex VI/VII):** for high-risk AI systems, the provider must demonstrate conformity before placing on market. Two routes: + +- **Module A — Internal control** (Annex VI): provider self-assesses against the requirements. Applies to most Annex III systems where the provider has implemented harmonised standards. +- **Module H — Full quality management system + technical documentation** (Annex VII): notified body involvement. Required for biometrics systems (Article 43(1)). + +**Required artifacts per Annex IV — Technical Documentation:** + +1. General description of the AI system (intended purpose, identification, version) +2. Detailed description of system elements (architecture, training data, validation procedures) +3. Information about monitoring, functioning and control +4. Description of risk management system (Article 9) +5. Description of changes after placing on market +6.

Per-Role Obligation Tracker + +**The framework (Articles 16, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26):** the Act distinguishes provider obligations (most) from downstream-actor obligations (deployer, importer, distributor, authorized representative).

Output: - Total skills audited (PASS / WARN / FAIL / ERROR counts + percentages) - Failure breakdown by rule (which of Matt's 6 checklist items fail most) - Top-10 worst offenders (skill folder + specific failing rules) Excludes auto-generated tool-specific symlinks (.gemini, .codex, .cursor, .cline, /site/, /.git/) and template fixtures (templates/, assets/sample-skill). Use case: periodic audit of skill-library hygiene. Re-run after each batch of new skills to catch drift early. Produced the punch list that informed the v2.6.1 cleanup planning (40% of repo skills miss "Use when" triggers; 88% exceed Matt's 100-line ceiling — both flagged for triage). Stdlib-only.

Uses the audit_skills.py tool (shipped in #646) to identify real bugs vs validator false-positives across 298 repo skills, then fixes both. Three coordinated changes: 1. Validator trigger pattern expansion (write-a-skill internal tools) - Old: only "Use when", "Use for", "Invoke when", "Trigger when" recognized - New: + "Use before/during/after/while", "Invoke before/after", "Apply when", "Run when/before" - Why: 11 legacy skills had semantically-valid triggers (e.g., gdpr-audit-prep says "Use before annual GDPR review") that the v2.6.0 validator wrongly flagged as missing. Natural English variants now accepted. - Impact: 30 skills reclassified from FAIL → WARN/PASS automatically. - Karpathy complexity: 100/100 (PASS) on both modified validators. 2. Ten placeholder descriptions fixed in engineering/skills/ The audit revealed 21 skills (~7% of repo) with broken descriptions that were literally just the skill name (e.g., description: "Migration Architect"). These were real bugs from a v2.0.0 batch import where the description field was never filled in. Top-10 fixed in this PR (POWERFUL-tier, high-visibility): - migration-architect: zero-downtime migration planning + rollback strategy - dependency-auditor: vulnerabilities + license + safe-upgrade audit - codebase-onboarding: codebase analysis + onboarding doc generation - ci-cd-pipeline-builder: pragmatic CI/CD from project stack signals - mcp-server-builder: MCP servers from OpenAPI contracts (Python + TS) - observability-designer: metrics + logs + traces + SLI/SLO design - api-design-reviewer: REST design review + breaking-change detection - performance-profiler: Node/Python/Go profiling + flamegraphs + load tests - changelog-generator: Conventional Commits → release notes automation - runbook-generator: operational runbooks from service name + templates Each new description: ≤1024 chars, third person, action verb in first sentence, "Use when ..." trigger in second sentence per Matt Pocock's rule. Remaining 11 placeholder descriptions tracked for v2.6.2. 3. Quality-gates reference updated (Option C: legacy advisory) quality_gates_for_skills.md now explicitly documents the binding-for-new vs advisory-for-legacy split. The 6-item checklist remains BLOCKING for post-v2.6.0 skills and ADVISORY for the 298 legacy SKILL.md files. Audit report drift is tracked separately; PASS count is the metric to grow, not a force-march-to-Friday deadline. Aggregate audit improvement (against the 298 real-skill cohort): - PASS: 4 (1%) → 7 (2%) - WARN: 111 (37%) → 134 (45%) - FAIL: 183 (61%) → 157 (53%) - "Missing trigger" failures: 119 (39%) → 79 (26%) 26 skills total lifted from FAIL → WARN/PASS in this PR. Highest-leverage fix per hour of any v2.6.x cleanup since the v2.6.0 release. https://claude.ai/code/session_01VFreMf7XLBqMgjsrG4wSYe --- .../skills/api-design-reviewer/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/changelog-generator/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/ci-cd-pipeline-builder/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/codebase-onboarding/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/dependency-auditor/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/mcp-server-builder/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/migration-architect/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/observability-designer/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../skills/performance-profiler/SKILL.md | 2 +- engineering/skills/runbook-generator/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../references/quality_gates_for_skills.md | 27 +++++++++++++++++++ .../scripts/skill_description_validator.py | 11 ++++++++ .../scripts/skill_review_checklist_runner.py | 27 ++++++++++++++++--- 13 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/engineering/skills/api-design-reviewer/SKILL.md b/engineering/skills/api-design-reviewer/SKILL.md index 4fafc63a..2da3ca75 100644 --- a/engineering/skills/api-design-reviewer/SKILL.md +++ b/engineering/skills/api-design-reviewer/SKILL.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- name: "api-design-reviewer" -description: "API Design Reviewer" +description: "Comprehensive REST API design review with automated linting, breaking-change detection, and design scorecards.

Most of the work was verification (docs already in sync from prior PRs #644, #649). Two real issues surfaced and fixed: 1. Codex sync bug (the headline fix) - scripts/sync-codex-skills.py used iterdir() which is single-level only - Missed the engineering/<plugin>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md pattern used by 4 Pocock plugins + many other standalone plugins restructured since PR #593 - Added Pattern 3 discovery: when <domain>/<plugin>/ contains a skills/ subdir with <name>/SKILL.md, recurse one level - Impact: Codex index 195 → 289 skills (+94 previously-hidden skills) - Gemini sync was already correct (uses recursive rglob) - OpenClaw was already correct (uses recursive find) 2. Stale skill counts in 2 user-facing docs - README.md: 268 → 272 (3 occurrences: tagline + badge + skills overview) - docs/getting-started.md: 246 → 272 (2 occurrences: meta description + FAQ) - All other files (CLAUDE.md, docs/index.md, mkdocs.yml site_description, marketplace.json) were already at 272 (refreshed in PRs #644 + #649) Other regenerations (no source changes — auto-updated from latest content): - docs/skills/engineering/*.md regenerated (picks up v2.6.1 description fixes) - docs/agents/*.md regenerated (no agent changes) - docs/commands/*.md regenerated (no command changes) - .codex/skills-index.json + 94 new symlinks (mostly Pocock + plugin-pattern skills that should have been there since PR #593) Verification: - All 5 user-facing docs (CLAUDE.md, README.md, docs/index.md, docs/getting-started.md, mkdocs.yml) show "272 skills" consistently - marketplace.json: v2.6.1, 43 plugins, 0 broken source paths - mkdocs build: 371 pages (280 skills + 58 agents + 33 commands), clean in 17.31s, no errors or new warnings - audit_skills.py: runs cleanly against 298 real skills No production code changes outside the Codex sync fix.

Conformity Assessment + Annex IV Technical Documentation + +**The framework (Article 43 + Annex VI/VII):** for high-risk AI systems, the provider must demonstrate conformity before placing on market. Two routes: + +- **Module A — Internal control** (Annex VI): provider self-assesses against the requirements.

Many companies are BOTH provider AND deployer simultaneously. -- **Is this a general-purpose AI model?** GPAI has its own track (Articles 51–55) with stricter rules above 10²⁵ FLOPs training compute (Article 51 systemic risk). -- **For high-risk: have we run Article 9 risk management AND Article 27 FRIA?** Article 9 is the lifecycle risk management; Article 27 is the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment for public-sector deployers + essential services. -- **What's the conformity assessment Module per Article 43?** Module A (internal control, possible for most Annex III systems) vs Module H (full QMS + notified body, required for biometrics + sometimes others). - -## Core Responsibilities - -### 1. AI System Risk Classification - -**The framework:** The Act takes a risk-based approach (Recital 26). Each AI system falls into exactly one of four tiers: - -| Tier | Source | Examples | Obligations | -|---|---|---|---| -| **Prohibited** | Article 5 | Social scoring; emotion recognition in workplace/education; subliminal manipulation; real-time public biometrics by law enforcement (with narrow exceptions) | Cannot be placed on market or used (penalties up to EUR 35M / 7% turnover) | -| **High-risk** | Article 6 + Annex III; Article 6(1) + Annex I | CV-screening, credit scoring, biometric categorisation, safety components of regulated products | Articles 8–17 (provider) + Article 26 (deployer); conformity assessment; CE marking | -| **Limited-risk (transparency)** | Article 50 | Chatbots, deepfakes, emotion recognition outside Article 5 contexts | Transparency disclosures to natural persons | -| **Minimal-risk** | Default | Spam filters, video-game AI, inventory forecasters | None under the Act (voluntary codes of conduct, Article 95) | - -**Critical carve-outs (Article 6(3)):** an Annex III system is NOT high-risk if it (a) performs a narrow procedural task, (b) improves the result of previously completed human activity, (c) detects decision-making patterns without replacing human assessment, (d) performs a preparatory task. Caveat: profiling of natural persons is always Annex III high-risk regardless of carve-outs. - -**Run** `ai_system_risk_classifier.py` with system characteristics. The tool checks Article 5 prohibitions first, then Annex III categories, then Article 6(3) carve-outs, then Article 50 transparency, then minimal-risk default. - -See `references/eu_ai_act_titles.md` for the full Article-by-Article walkthrough. - -### 2. Conformity Assessment + Annex IV Technical Documentation - -**The framework (Article 43 + Annex VI/VII):** for high-risk AI systems, the provider must demonstrate conformity before placing on market. Two routes: - -- **Module A — Internal control** (Annex VI): provider self-assesses against the requirements. Applies to most Annex III systems where the provider has implemented harmonised standards. -- **Module H — Full quality management system + technical documentation** (Annex VII): notified body involvement. Required for biometrics systems (Article 43(1)). - -**Required artifacts per Annex IV — Technical Documentation:** - -1. General description of the AI system (intended purpose, identification, version) -2. Detailed description of system elements (architecture, training data, validation procedures) -3. Information about monitoring, functioning and control -4. Description of risk management system (Article 9) -5. Description of changes after placing on market -6. List of harmonised standards applied (or alternative) -7. EU declaration of conformity (Article 47) -8.

Per-Role Obligation Tracker - -**The framework (Articles 16, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26):** the Act distinguishes provider obligations (most) from downstream-actor obligations (deployer, importer, distributor, authorized representative). A single company can play multiple roles simultaneously. - -| Role | Primary Articles | Key obligations | -|---|---|---| -| **Provider** (Article 3(3)) | 8–17, 47, 49, 72 | Conformity assessment; CE marking; risk management; data governance; technical documentation; post-market monitoring; serious incident reporting (Article 73) | -| **Deployer** (Article 3(4)) | 26 | Use according to instructions; human oversight; input data quality; record-keeping (Article 19); inform workers (Article 26(7)); FRIA if public-sector/essential-services (Article 27) | -| **Importer** (Article 3(6)) | 23 | Verify conformity; affixed CE marking; technical documentation availability | -| **Distributor** (Article 3(7)) | 24 | Verify CE marking + documentation before making available | -| **Authorized representative** (Article 22) | 22 | Non-EU providers must appoint one; representative liable for provider obligations | - -**Important:** under Article 25, a deployer who substantially modifies a high-risk AI system, or places it on the market under their own name, becomes a **provider** and inherits provider obligations. - -**Run** `ai_act_obligation_tracker.py` with the roles JSON to produce a deadline-sorted obligation matrix. - -See `references/gpai_obligations.md` for the separate GPAI Articles 51–55 track. - -## Workflows - -### Workflow 1: AI System Intake Review (per system, ~2 hours) -**Goal:** classify, identify obligations, scope the conformity work. - -```bash -# 1.

Output: classification memo + conformity plan + obligation list -``` - -### Workflow 2: Annex IV Technical Documentation Build (per high-risk system, 2–4 weeks) -**Goal:** assemble the Annex IV pack before conformity assessment. - -```bash -# 1. Run conformity assessment planner to get the checklist -python scripts/conformity_assessment_planner.py system.json -# 2. Assemble: system description, architecture, training data, validation, risk management -# 3. Reference ISO 42001 evidence where it satisfies Annex IV items -# 4.

Confirm classification still correct (re-run classifier if system changed) -# 2. Confirm conformity assessment completed (if high-risk) -# 3. Confirm transparency requirements (Article 50) — for chatbots, deepfakes, emotion detection -# 4. Confirm post-market monitoring system (Article 72) is live -# 5. Confirm serious-incident reporting procedure (Article 73) is documented -# 6. For deployers: FRIA done (Article 27, if applicable); workers informed (Article 26(7)) -# 7. For GPAI: Articles 51-55 obligations met if applicable -``` - -### Workflow 4: Annual Compliance Refresh (per organization, yearly) -**Goal:** re-verify classifications + obligations as the Act phases in. - -1. List all AI systems on or planned for EU market -2. Run classifier for each — Article 5 prohibited list may expand via delegated acts -3. Run obligation tracker — deadlines shift as Title III phases in (2025 → 2026 → 2027) -4. For each high-risk system: verify post-market monitoring data flow + serious incident reporting capacity -5.

ISO 42001 is a voluntary management-system standard; EU AI Act is binding product-safety regulation. They overlap (a high-risk AI system per Article 6(2) of the AI Act typically requires the QMS in Article 17, which ISO 42001 can satisfy in part) but the artefacts differ. See `compliance-team-eu-ai-act` for Article-level conformity assessment. - -This skill is **NOT a substitute for ISO 23894 + 38507**. 42001 is the management system; 23894 is the AI risk methodology that feeds Clause 6.1; 38507 is the governance lens. The `ai_risk_register_builder.py` tool implements the 23894 process; treat the references as the methodology bridge. - -## Keywords - -ISO 42001, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, AI Management System, AIMS, AI governance, AI risk management, ISO 23894, AI risk assessment, ISO 38507, AI compliance, AI audit, internal audit AI, Annex A controls, AI risk register, AI policy, AI impact assessment, conformity declaration, AI lifecycle, AI risk treatment, NIST AI RMF, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISACA AI audit, BSI AIC4, AI assurance, responsible AI, AI ethics governance, AI system inventory, third-party AI risk, AI vendor management, AI change management, AI incident management - -## Quick Start - -```bash -# Decision A: AIMS gap analysis against Clauses 4-10 -python scripts/aims_gap_analyzer.py # embedded sample (mid-stage AI SaaS) -python scripts/aims_gap_analyzer.py path/to/aims_evidence.json - -# Decision B: AI risk register + Annex A control mapping -python scripts/ai_risk_register_builder.py # embedded 7-risk sample -python scripts/ai_risk_register_builder.py path/to/risks.json - -# Decision C: Clause 9.2 internal audit 12-month plan -python scripts/aims_audit_scheduler.py # embedded 4-domain sample -python scripts/aims_audit_scheduler.py path/to/scope.json -``` - -## Key Questions (ask these first) - -- **Does the AIMS scope statement (Clause 4.3) name every AI system, including embedded models and third-party AI services?** If "AI features added by our SaaS vendors" is not in scope, the AIMS is incomplete. -- **Does the AI policy (Clause 5.2) commit to lawful use AND beneficial purpose AND human oversight AND continual improvement?** Missing any of the four = nonconformity at certification. -- **Has the AI risk assessment (Clause 6.1.2) been re-run since the last material model change?** Concept drift is not a one-time event. -- **Who signs the AI impact assessment for high-impact systems (Annex A.5.4)?** If no signed accountability, the control is missing. -- **What's the internal audit cadence (Clause 9.2)?** ISO management-system standards expect ≥ once per 3-year cycle per clause; mature programs do annual. -- **Is there a documented procedure for AI incidents (Annex A.9.3)?** Untreated post-deployment monitoring is the #1 nonconformity in early adopters. - -## Core Responsibilities - -### 1. AIMS Gap Analysis (Clauses 4–10) - -**The framework:** ISO 42001 follows the Annex SL high-level structure shared with ISO 9001 / 27001 / 13485. Clauses 4–10 are the management-system requirements; Annex A controls A.1–A.10 are the AI-specific operational controls. - -| Clause | What it requires | Common gap | -|---|---|---| -| **4. Context** | AI scope, interested parties, external context | Scope omits third-party AI services | -| **5. Leadership** | AI policy, roles, accountability | Policy treats "AI ethics" as marketing copy, not commitment | -| **6. Planning** | AI risk + impact assessment, objectives | Risk register doesn't link to controls | -| **7. Support** | Resources, competence, awareness, documented info | Competence requirements undefined for ML engineers | -| **8. Operation** | Operational planning, AI system lifecycle | Lifecycle stages not mapped to Annex A controls | -| **9. Performance** | Monitoring, internal audit, management review | Drift monitoring exists in code but not in management review inputs | -| **10. Improvement** | Nonconformity, corrective action, continual improvement | CAPA loop separate from existing 13485/9001 CAPA — duplication | - -**Run** `aims_gap_analyzer.py` with an evidence inventory JSON to score each clause (full / partial / missing) and get a prioritized remediation list. - -See `references/iso42001_clauses.md` for the full clause-by-clause walkthrough with audit evidence expectations. - -### 2. AI Risk Register + Annex A Control Mapping - -**The framework:** Clause 6.1.2 requires AI risk assessment; Clause 6.1.3 requires risk treatment. Annex A provides 38 controls organized into 10 control categories (A.2–A.10). The risk register must show each identified risk linked to ≥ 1 control that treats it. - -**Annex A control categories (the 10):** - -| ID | Category | Example controls | -|---|---|---| -| **A.2** | AI policy | A.2.2 AI policy, A.2.3 alignment with other policies | -| **A.3** | Internal organization | A.3.2 AI roles & responsibilities, A.3.3 reporting concerns | -| **A.4** | Resources for AI systems | A.4.2 data resources, A.4.3 tooling, A.4.4 human resources | -| **A.5** | Assessing impacts | A.5.2 AI system impact assessment, A.5.4 documentation of impact assessment | -| **A.6** | AI system lifecycle | A.6.2.2 objectives, A.6.2.3 lifecycle phases, A.6.2.4 verification & validation | -| **A.7** | Data for AI systems | A.7.2 data management, A.7.3 data quality, A.7.4 data provenance, A.7.5 data preparation | -| **A.8** | Information for interested parties | A.8.2 system documentation, A.8.3 user information, A.8.4 communication of incidents | -| **A.9** | Use of AI systems | A.9.2 intended use, A.9.3 monitoring of operation, A.9.4 logging of system events | -| **A.10** | Third-party & customer relationships | A.10.2 supplier relationships, A.10.3 customer relationships | - -ISO/IEC 23894:2023 provides the AI-specific risk-management process (the methodology); 42001 Annex A provides the controls. The risk register is the bridge. - -**Run** `ai_risk_register_builder.py` with an identified-risks JSON to produce a structured register with mapped controls + residual-risk verdict per ISO 23894 risk-treatment options. - -See `references/aims_controls_annex_a.md` for the full 38-control catalogue with audit evidence per control. - -### 3. Clause 9.2 Internal Audit Plan - -**The framework:** Clause 9.2 requires "internal audits at planned intervals to provide information on whether the AIMS conforms to the organization's requirements and is effectively implemented and maintained." That's the management-system requirement; the **how often** and **how deep** are organizational choices. - -**Mature-program defaults:** - -- Cover every clause + every applicable Annex A control over a 3-year cycle (rolling) -- Annual full-system audit covering Clauses 4, 5, 9, 10 (the "always relevant" clauses) -- Quarterly or semi-annual deep dives on Clauses 6, 7, 8 by domain (per AI system or per lifecycle phase) -- Auditor independence: nobody audits their own work; A.6 lifecycle owner cannot audit Clause 8 operation - -**Run** `aims_audit_scheduler.py` with a scope JSON (AI systems in scope, prior-year findings, certification cycle phase) to produce a 12-month plan with auditor assignments and independence checks. - -See `references/aims_implementation_guide.md` for the maturity model and rollout sequencing (year 1 establish, year 2 certify, year 3+ continual improvement). - -## Workflows - -### Workflow 1: AIMS Gap Closure for Certification (4–8 weeks) -**Goal:** Identify gaps; prioritize remediation; close before stage 1 certification audit. - -```bash -# 1. Inventory current AIMS evidence (policies, procedures, records) -python scripts/aims_gap_analyzer.py aims_evidence.json -# 2. Review gap matrix; group by clause -# 3. For each gap, identify owner + due date (target: close before stage 1) -# 4. Cross-check against ISO 27001 / 13485 existing artifacts — many can be reused -# 5. Cross-check against EU AI Act obligations (use compliance-team-eu-ai-act) -# 6. Output: prioritized remediation plan with owners + dates -``` - -### Workflow 2: AI Risk Register Build (1–2 weeks) -**Goal:** Construct the Clause 6.1.2 risk register with full Annex A control coverage. - -```bash -# 1. Run ISO 23894 risk identification across AI lifecycle (data, model, deployment, decommission) -# 2. Capture each risk with: source, event, consequence, likelihood, impact -python scripts/ai_risk_register_builder.py risks.json -# 3. For each high/critical risk, confirm ≥ 1 Annex A control is selected as treatment -# 4. Document residual risk acceptance with management signoff -# 5. Cross-check with cs-caio-advisor on executive risk acceptance for "tolerate" decisions -# 6. Log via management review (Clause 9.3) -``` - -### Workflow 3: Annual Internal Audit Plan (1 day) -**Goal:** Produce the 12-month Clause 9.2 plan with auditor independence. - -```bash -# 1. Pull last year's audit findings and certification cycle status (year 1/2/3) -python scripts/aims_audit_scheduler.py audit_scope.json -# 2. Confirm auditor independence per assignment -# 3. Confirm coverage hits every clause and every applicable Annex A control over rolling 3 years -# 4. Submit plan for management review approval (Clause 9.3 input) -``` - -### Workflow 4: Cross-Framework Reuse Mapping (per system onboarded) -**Goal:** When adding a new AI system, map ISO 42001 evidence against existing 27001 + 13485 evidence to avoid duplication. - -1. Pull existing ISO 27001 Annex A controls + ISO 13485 procedures relevant to the system -2. For each ISO 42001 Annex A control, identify whether an existing artifact already satisfies it (e.g., 27001 A.8.16 monitoring activities can extend to AI system monitoring) -3. Add the AI-specific overlay only where the existing control doesn't cover it -4. Document mapping in the AIMS scope statement (Clause 4.3) - -## Output Standards - -``` -**Bottom Line:** [one sentence — gap severity + the one thing to close first] -**The Decision:** [one of: gap-closure | risk-treatment | audit-scope] -**The Evidence:** [clause numbers + control IDs from the tool, not adjectives] -**How to Act:** [3 concrete next steps with owners + dates] -**Your Decision:** [the call only the compliance officer or CAIO can make — risk acceptance, scope expansion, certification readiness] -``` -

Section 2: Email Categories (propose, confirm, generate taxonomy) +5. Section 3: Reply Style & Voice (interview + sample analysis) +6. Section 4: Evaluation Framework (only if opportunities exist) +7. Section 5: Blocklist & Patterns (initial seeding) +8. Section 6: Current State (active follow-ups) +9. Section 7: Report Preferences (delivery format) +10. Section 8: Confirmation & Handoff (final list + handoff to triage) +11. Privacy and ambiguity rules +``` + +## Critical Improvements Over Naive Implementation + +The skill MUST address these concerns: + +1. **Email-provider agnostic** — Don’t hardcode Gmail. Reference “email provider” generically; document common ones (Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, etc.). The companion triage skill will handle provider-specific tooling. +1. **Modular knowledge base** — Skip sections that don’t apply (e.g., no evaluation framework if user doesn’t receive pitches). Document this skip-logic explicitly. +1. **Sample-based voice extraction** — Ask user to paste 3–5 real sent emails as the highest-quality input for voice patterns. Self-description is unreliable; demonstrated voice is reliable. +1. **Conversational pacing** — Strict rule: do NOT batch all questions at once. Walk through sections incrementally. Wait for answers before proceeding. +1. **Why-questions** — Explain *why* each question matters as you ask it. This helps users give better answers. +1. **Privacy boundary** — Document: never persist passwords, full account numbers, SSNs, or other sensitive credentials in knowledge base files. +1. **Re-run-safe** — Document that this skill can be re-run; existing files should be confirmed before overwriting, with the user choosing per-file behavior (replace, merge, skip). + +## Section Specifications (Must Be Fully Documented) + +### Section 1: The Big Picture + +Questions (asked conversationally, not as a numbered list): + +- What do you do? (Role/business — enough for context) +- What dominates your inbox? (Sales pitches, client work, internal team, newsletters, etc.) +- Rough volume split? (e.g., “60% business inquiries, 20% ops, 20% noise”) +- Which email address(es) should triage cover? +- Run frequency preference? (Once daily, 2x, 3x, on-demand) +- Anyone helping manage email (assistant, VA, team), or solo? + +**Action**: Build mental model. Do NOT write files yet. + +### Section 2: Email Categories + +Propose 5–7 categories based on Section 1. Use this template set as a starting menu: + +- New Opportunities +- Active Conversations +- Action Required +- Financial +- Important/Personal +- Informational +- Ignore/Low Priority + +Ask the user: + +- Does this map to your inbox reality? +- Missing categories? +- Which category takes the most time? + +**Action**: Generate `email-taxonomy.md` with categories, signals, default actions. + +### Section 3: Reply Style & Voice + +Questions: + +- Formal, casual, or in between? +- Communication pet peeves? (Phrases you hate, openings you avoid) +- Phrases or sign-offs you always use? +- Different persona for different contexts? (e.g., assistant replies as you) +- Typical reply length? +- Hard rules? (Never emojis, always reply within 24h, never take calls) + +If user runs a business: ask about media kits, rate sheets, standard pitches, repeated replies. + +**Best input**: Ask user to paste 3–5 real sent emails. Analyze those for voice patterns rather than relying solely on self-description. + +**Action**: Generate `email-patterns.md` with tone description (with do/don’t examples), persona rules, templates, signatures, hard rules. + +### Section 4: Evaluation Framework (Conditional) + +Only run this section if user receives opportunity emails. + +Questions: + +- First thing you check when pitched something? +- Instant deal-breakers? +- Things that make you immediately interested? +- Standard pricing/terms? +- Negotiation posture (firm, flexible, depends)? +- VIP senders/orgs that always get engagement? + +**Action**: Generate `evaluation-framework.md` (decision tree + recommendation categories + VIP list) AND `rate-card.md` if pricing exists. + +### Section 5: Blocklist & Patterns + +Questions: + +- Senders/domains to always skip? +- Patterns in emails always deleted? +- Specific companies/recruiters/newsletters wasting time? + +**Action**: Generate `blocklist.md` (auto-maintained by triage thereafter). + +### Section 6: Current State + +Questions: + +- Active threads you’re tracking? +- Overdue replies? +- Time-sensitive items? + +**Action**: Generate `tracker.md` with active follow-ups table, overdue section, resolved section (empty), update log (empty). Also create empty `triage-log/` directory. + +### Section 7: Report Preferences + +Questions: + +- Delivery format: email draft to self / file / chat summary? +- Detail level: 30-second scan / detailed breakdown / both? +- Anything always shown first? (e.g., overdue payments) + +**Action**: Save these preferences into `email-taxonomy.md` under a “Report Preferences” section. + +### Section 8: Confirmation & Handoff + +- List every file created with one-sentence summary +- Tell user: “Your triage system is ready. Run the **email-triage** skill to process your inbox.

Confirm response received before next call. +1. **RePORTER is POST-only** — Document prominently: must use `bash_tool` + `curl`, NOT `web_fetch` (which is GET-only). Provide exact `curl` command templates. +1. **Plan-tier detection** — Parse Consensus response for “Found N, showing top M” pattern. Tier inference: ~3 results = unauthenticated, ~10 = free, ~20 = premium. Log detected tier in audit. Surface to user when sparse results may reflect tier ceiling rather than literature gap. +1. **Source discipline** — Hard rule: only cite what tool calls returned this session. Training knowledge labeled `[Not from Consensus/RePORTER — reference information]` and excluded from counts. +1. **Three separate counts** — Track: queries sent / results received (shown) / results cited. Never conflate. +1. **Dynamic fiscal year window** — Compute current year + 3 prior years at runtime. Never hardcode years. +1. **Scope-aware mechanism matching** — Mechanism recommendation considers BOTH career stage AND project scope. A pilot scope → R21/R03; a multi-site trial → R01/U01. +1. **Mandatory program officer recommendation** — Single most valuable advice for any applicant. Always include with NIH staff page URL pattern. +1. **Submission timeline note** — Standard NIH receipt dates by mechanism. Include the table so researchers can plan backwards. +1. **NOSI handling** — `web_fetch` each detected `NOT-*` opportunity. If fetch fails, log and skip (don’t fabricate). If none found, omit section. + +## Source Discipline Rules (Must Be Stated) + +The skill must include these as an explicit “Agent Integrity Rules” block: + +- **Execution discipline**: A step isn’t complete until result is confirmed received. Consensus calls sequential with 1+ sec pause. RePORTER calls sequential. +- **Data sourcing**: Count only what tool calls returned this session. Never supplement with training knowledge. +- **Counts & attribution**: Queries sent vs. results shown vs. results cited — three separate numbers, never conflate. Every cited paper has a retrievable URL from this session. +- **Error handling**: On failure: wait 3s, retry once, log. After 3 consecutive failures across tools: stop, alert researcher, explain what’s missing. Never silently skip. +- **Transparency**: Audit Log section in the DOCX. Apply same standards to chat summary as to document. + +## DOCX Output Structure + +The generated DOCX has 9 sections. Document each: + +1. **Executive Summary** — Title, date, career stage, environment + 3-4 key findings bullets +1. **Research Positioning** — Lead with 3-5 gap quotes (italicized, inline citations to Consensus).

Produces a "launching pad" orientation document (not a finished review) via one broad Consensus reconnaissance search, PICO-default framework selection with SPIDER / Decomposition / hybrid fallbacks, an interactive checkpoint (framework breakdown table + depth selector), and a configurable search budget: Quick (5) / Standard (10) / Deep (20) — each fully allocated with explicit reasoning across sub-area, review-article, era-gated, and follow-up searches.

Document Structure (8 sections) +9. docx Technical Requirements +``` + +## Critical Improvements Over Naive Implementation + +The skill MUST address these concerns: + +1. **Framework selection hierarchy** — PICO first (broadly applicable), not just “clinical questions”. SPIDER and Decomposition as fallbacks. Hybrid framing documented for topics that span frameworks. +1. **Plan-tier detection** — After first search, parse response. “Showing top 10” or upgrade message → free tier (10/search). Up to 20 returned → Pro (20/search). Record cap and report at checkpoint so user can calibrate (“Free tier: 10 searches × 10 results = ~100 papers max”). +1. **Sequential execution discipline** — Consensus rate limit is 1 query/sec. NEVER parallelize. Confirm response before next call. Wait 1+ sec between calls. +1. **Search budget allocation** — Document explicitly per depth: not just more of the same; deep dive uses extra budget for review articles, era-gated searches, follow-ups on high-cite papers. +1. **Cross-search intelligence** — Three trackers across ALL searches: repeat-hit papers (foundational signal), recurring authors (dominant groups), citations-per-year (seminal work). Document this is what transforms search results into field knowledge. +1. **Era-gated comparison** — Document the *purpose* explicitly: surface terminology shifts, conclusion shifts, methodological evolution. Researchers searching only modern terms miss foundational older work. +1. **Source discipline** — Hard rule: only cite what Consensus returned this session. Training knowledge labeled `[Not from Consensus — model knowledge]` and excluded from counts. +1. **Three-count tracking** — Searches executed / unique papers received (deduplicated) / papers cited. +1. **Interactive checkpoint** — Don’t run all searches without user confirmation. Show framework table, sub-areas, depth selector. Wait for response. Allow sub-area adjustments before searching. + +## Source Discipline Rules (Must Be Stated) + +The skill must include an explicit “Data Integrity Principles” block: + +- **Source discipline**: Only cite Consensus-returned papers from this session.

Non-generic by design: refuses to be "patent help" and commits to one of five sub-use-cases via the grill-me intake before any search runs.

Search sources: Google Patents (workhorse), Espacenet (global), USPTO PPS (US), Lens.org BYOK (citation graph). CPC/IPC classification follow-up query mandatory after initial hits. Family resolution deduplicates same-invention filings across jurisdictions.

Skill commits to max 6 — no infinite Socratic loops. + +### Q1 (root) — Invention description + +> **Describe the invention in 2–3 sentences. What does it do, and what's new about it?** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Concept and keyword extraction depends entirely on a precise description. Vague descriptions ("AI for healthcare", "a better widget") will be rejected — push back and ask the user to specify what the invention does and what differentiates it from existing approaches. + +Refuse mush. If answer is generic, ask once more: "What does it do that existing systems don't?" Then commit. + +### Q2 (depends on Q1) — Sub-use-case commitment + +> **What's the purpose of this search? Pick one:** +> 1. Novelty search (am I novel enough to file) +> 2. Freedom-to-operate (will I get sued if I ship) +> 3. Competitive landscape (who else plays here) +> 4. Acquisition diligence (does target really own X) +> 5. Litigation prior-art hunting (kill a specific patent) +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Each path uses a fundamentally different search strategy. I'll refuse to start without you picking one. + +Forcing format. If user says "all of them", push for the primary purpose — secondary purposes can run as follow-up searches. + +### Q3 (asked only if Q2 ∈ {FTO, landscape, diligence}) — Jurisdictions + +> **Which jurisdictions matter? Pick all that apply: US / EP / CN / JP / KR / PCT / worldwide.** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* FTO only matters where you'll sell. Landscape changes radically by region. Diligence requires checking all jurisdictions where the target operates. + +Skip for novelty (priority date is jurisdictionally portable) and litigation (jurisdiction is set by the target patent). + +### Q4 (depends on Q1) — Known prior art + +> **Have you already seen prior art close to this? Cite a patent number or paper.** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* If you know one piece of art, I can search adjacent to it — much more precise than starting cold. If you don't, that's fine — just confirm. + +Anchoring. Accept "none" but ask if the user has seen *any* related work even informally. + +### Q5 (depends on Q2) — Risk tolerance + +> **Risk tolerance for this search: strict (one close hit means abandon the path) or signal-gathering (you want the lay of the land regardless)?** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Strict mode ranks aggressively and surfaces verdict-grade hits; signal mode prioritizes breadth and visualizations. + +Asked for novelty and FTO; skipped for pure landscape (which is always signal-gathering by definition). + +### Q6 (asked only if Q2 ∈ {novelty, FTO}) — Attorney status + +> **Have you spoken to a patent attorney? This skill produces search signal, not legal advice. Confirm you understand this is for technical assessment only.** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Novelty and FTO have legal consequences.

Q4 (hypothesis) is the keystone — mandatory always, no skip. + +### Q1 (root) — Subject identity + +> **Who is the subject? Give me the exact name and, if a company, the website or LinkedIn URL. If a person, their LinkedIn URL or a unique identifier (company affiliation + role).** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Disambiguation. There are 47 John Smiths. There are three companies called "Atlas". I need a specific entity to research. + +If user gives only a name, push for a second identifier. Refuse to proceed on ambiguous names. + +### Q2 (depends on Q1) — Subject type + +> **What kind of subject is this? Pick one: person / company / nonprofit / government org / other.** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Different source matrices apply. For people I check LinkedIn, GitHub, Scholar, news; for companies I check SEC EDGAR (if public), Crunchbase, news, GitHub for tech orgs; for nonprofits I check Form 990s on ProPublica. + +Forcing choice. "Other" requires a one-line description. + +### Q3 (depends on Q2) — Purpose + +> **What are you preparing for? Pick one:** +> 1. Sales meeting / partnership pitch +> 2. Investment diligence +> 3. Acquisition diligence +> 4. Journalism / due diligence +> 5. Job interview prep +> 6. Competitive intelligence +> 7. Personal vetting (date, hire, business partner) +> 8. Other (specify) +> +> *Why I'm asking:* The purpose dictates the angle, the depth, and the red-flag sensitivity. Sales prep needs conversation hooks. Investment diligence needs traction signals. Personal vetting needs careful sensitivity boundaries. + +Forcing choice. + +### Q4 (depends on Q3) — Hypothesis — MANDATORY + +> **What's your hypothesis going in? What do you already believe about this subject, and what do you want to verify or disprove?** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* This is the critical question. A dossier that just confirms what you already think is worthless. By stating your hypothesis upfront, I can search for evidence that would *disprove* it as well as evidence that supports it — and give you a verdict you can actually use. +> +> Examples: +> - "I believe Microsoft is consolidating AI spend on first-party Foundry. Verify or disprove." +> - "I think the CEO is over their head — too much TAM talk, no traction. Test that." +> - "I believe this nonprofit's overhead ratio is sketchy. Check the 990s." +> - "I think this person is technical enough to handle a CTO role. Verify." + +Mandatory. If user says "I don't have one", push: "Then guess. Commit to a position you can update later. The dossier needs a hypothesis to test, otherwise it's a generic profile and won't help you make a decision." + +This question is **the non-generic anchor**. Skip it and the skill becomes a Wikipedia summary. + +### Q5 (depends on Q3) — Depth + +> **Time horizon: 5-minute brief or 15-minute decision-grade dossier?** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Brief mode caps at ~10 searches and skips the network + reputation passes. Decision-grade goes deeper on every section. Pick based on how much skin you have in this decision. + +Forcing choice. + +### Q6 (asked only if Q3 ∈ {journalism, personal vetting}) — Sensitivities + +> **Anything sensitive to exclude? E.g., personal medical, family details, political history, or specific topics off-limits?** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Some research contexts have ethical constraints. I'd rather know upfront than surface something you'd never share. + +Skip for sales/investment/acquisition/competitive intel (low sensitivity); ask for journalism/personal vetting (high sensitivity). + +**Stop condition:** After Q6 (or earlier if dependency skips applied), commit and start Phase 2. Never re-open intake after Phase 2 begins. + +## Research-Pack Conventions (Inherited) + +The skill must include the standard "Agent Integrity Rules" block: + +- **Execution discipline**: Sequential search calls.

Implements Architecture C (hybrid router + fallback): deterministic classification of the user's question, delegation to a specialist when confidence is high (≥2 signal matches), and a full plan-decompose-search-synthesize-cite fallback workflow when no specialist fits. Specialist registry: pulse (reddit/hn/x/buzz/sentiment), grants (NIH/ R01/RePORTER/NOSI), litreview (literature review/PICO/SPIDER/meta- analysis), syllabus (course outline/reading list), patent (prior art/ FTO/IP landscape), dossier (entity research/due diligence/meeting prep). Each has documented routing signals so classification is predictable and learnable. Deterministic classification (not LLM-reasoned): documented as concrete pseudo-code. Per specialist, count matched signal phrases; route to argmax if ≥2 signals; route to single-match specialist at exactly 1 signal; otherwise ask Q3 domain disambiguation. Routing decision is ALWAYS surfaced before execution so users can override. Grill-me intake: minimal by design (max 4 questions, most invocations exit after 2). Q1 research-question specificity (refuses vague), Q2 output preference (chat brief vs .docx), Q3 domain disambiguation asked only when classification ambiguous, Q4 fallback scope only when Q3 picked "none of the above". Routes fast; doesn't slow delegation. Fallback workflow (8 steps): decompose into 3-5 sub-questions, source- select per sub-question, sequential 1 q/sec search, fetch-and-extract, per-sub-question synthesis with inline citations, cross-cutting patterns, format-honoring output (markdown brief default or DOCX), three-count audit log with reliability tiers per source. Inherits research-pack conventions: source discipline, three-count tracking, retry-once-after-3s, stop-after-3-failures. 10 documented anti-patterns including the keystone: never LLM-reason classification, never silent-delegate, never run fallback when a specialist fits. https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw --- megaprompts/13-research-megaprompt.md | 342 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 342 insertions(+) create mode 100644 megaprompts/13-research-megaprompt.md diff --git a/megaprompts/13-research-megaprompt.md b/megaprompts/13-research-megaprompt.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5b0d5ae6 --- /dev/null +++ b/megaprompts/13-research-megaprompt.md @@ -0,0 +1,342 @@ +# Mega Prompt: Research — Hybrid Router + Fallback Skill (autoresearch) + +## Role + +You are a **Skill Architect** specializing in research-orchestration workflows.

Validation checklist gains grill-me requirements (one-at-a-time, why-I'm-asking per question, Q1 vagueness rejection, Q2 forcing format). https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw --- megaprompts/01-last-30-days-megaprompt.md | 158 ---------------- megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md | 210 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 210 insertions(+), 158 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 megaprompts/01-last-30-days-megaprompt.md create mode 100644 megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md diff --git a/megaprompts/01-last-30-days-megaprompt.md b/megaprompts/01-last-30-days-megaprompt.md deleted file mode 100644 index 0857178b..00000000 --- a/megaprompts/01-last-30-days-megaprompt.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,158 +0,0 @@ -# Mega Prompt: Last-30-Days Research Skill - -## Role - -You are a **Skill Architect** specializing in research workflows.

Section 7: Report Preferences (delivery format) +10. Section 8: Confirmation & Handoff (final list + handoff to triage) +11. Privacy and ambiguity rules +``` + +## Critical Improvements Over Naive Implementation + +The skill MUST address these concerns: + +1. **Email-provider agnostic** — Don't hardcode Gmail. Reference "email provider" generically; document common ones (Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, etc.). The companion triage skill will handle provider-specific tooling. +1. **Grill-me discipline throughout** — One question at a time, never batch. Forcing format where possible (multi-choice over open-ended). Every question carries its own "why I'm asking" so the user can answer well. Section boundaries don't relax the one-at-a-time rule. +1. **Modular knowledge base** — Skip sections that don't apply (e.g., no evaluation framework if user doesn't receive pitches). Document this skip-logic explicitly. +1. **Sample-based voice extraction** — Ask user to paste 3–5 real sent emails as the highest-quality input for voice patterns. Self-description is unreliable; demonstrated voice is reliable. +1. **Privacy boundary** — Document: never persist passwords, full account numbers, SSNs, or other sensitive credentials in knowledge base files. +1. **Re-run-safe** — Document that this skill can be re-run; existing files should be confirmed before overwriting, with the user choosing per-file behavior (replace, merge, skip). + +## Section Specifications (Must Be Fully Documented) + +All sections use grill-me discipline: one question at a time, dependency-ordered, each question carries "why I'm asking", forcing format where possible. Each section commits its file(s) at the end before moving to the next section. + +### Section 1: The Big Picture + +Six grill-me questions, one at a time: + +**S1.Q1**: "What do you do? Give me your role and business in 1–2 sentences. *Why I'm asking:* Context shapes what email patterns to expect — a solo creator's inbox looks nothing like an enterprise PM's." + +**S1.Q2**: "What dominates your inbox? Pick the top 1–2: sales pitches / client work / internal team / newsletters / customer support / financial / other. *Why I'm asking:* Dominant categories drive the taxonomy." + +**S1.Q3**: "Rough volume split — e.g., '60% business inquiries, 20% ops, 20% noise'. *Why I'm asking:* The split tells me where to focus triage effort." + +**S1.Q4**: "Which email address(es) should triage cover? *Why I'm asking:* If multiple, I'll set up per-address taxonomies." + +**S1.Q5**: "Run frequency: once daily / 2x daily / 3x daily / on-demand only? *Why I'm asking:* Drives the default search window in triage (9h overlap for 2x/day)." + +**S1.Q6**: "Anyone helping manage email — assistant, VA, team — or solo? *Why I'm asking:* Persona handling differs for delegated inboxes." + +**Action**: Build mental model. Do NOT write files yet. + +### Section 2: Email Categories + +Propose 5–7 categories based on Section 1. Use this template set as a starting menu (the skill should pre-recommend a subset based on Q1.S1 answers, not present the whole list raw): + +- New Opportunities +- Active Conversations +- Action Required +- Financial +- Important/Personal +- Informational +- Ignore/Low Priority + +Then grill via three forcing questions, one at a time: + +**S2.Q1**: "Here's my proposed taxonomy: [list].

(E.g., never emojis, always reply within 24h, never take calls without context.) *Why I'm asking:* Hard rules are enforced as non-negotiable in every draft." + +**S3.SAMPLES** (the critical highest-quality input): "Paste 3–5 real sent emails from your inbox. *Why I'm asking:* Self-description of voice is unreliable.

Otherwise jump to Section 5. + +Six grill-me questions, one at a time: + +**S4.Q1**: "First thing you check when pitched something — give me your gut filter. *Why I'm asking:* That's the top of the decision tree." + +**S4.Q2**: "Three instant deal-breakers — things that make you decline immediately. *Why I'm asking:* These become PASS-auto signals." + +**S4.Q3**: "Three things that make you immediately interested. *Why I'm asking:* These become TAKE-IT signals." + +**S4.Q4**: "Standard pricing / terms — or 'no fixed pricing' if you negotiate every time. *Why I'm asking:* If you have a rate card, I'll generate one; if not, I'll skip." + +**S4.Q5**: "Negotiation posture: firm / flexible / depends on context? *Why I'm asking:* Drives draft tone on counter-offers." + +**S4.Q6**: "VIP senders or organizations that always get engagement — list names or domains. *Why I'm asking:* VIP list bypasses normal PASS filters." + +**Action**: Generate `evaluation-framework.md` (decision tree + recommendation categories + VIP list) AND `rate-card.md` if pricing exists. + +### Section 5: Blocklist & Patterns + +Three grill-me questions, one at a time: + +**S5.Q1**: "Senders or domains to always skip — list them. (Skip if none.) *Why I'm asking:* Auto-blocklist saves the most time per run." + +**S5.Q2**: "Patterns in emails you always delete — e.g., 'unsubscribe' links from specific marketers, recruiter cold outreach, newsletters? *Why I'm asking:* Patterns let triage auto-skip variants without exact-match maintenance." + +**S5.Q3**: "Specific companies / recruiters / newsletters wasting time — list any. *Why I'm asking:* These seed the blocklist; triage will add more as you override decisions." + +**Action**: Generate `blocklist.md` (auto-maintained by triage thereafter). + +### Section 6: Current State + +Three grill-me questions, one at a time: + +**S6.Q1**: "Active threads you're tracking — list with one-line context each. (Skip if none.) *Why I'm asking:* These become tracker entries so triage knows existing context." + +**S6.Q2**: "Overdue replies — anything you should have responded to but haven't? *Why I'm asking:* Triage flags these as priority every run until resolved." + +**S6.Q3**: "Time-sensitive items with deadlines — list with dates. *Why I'm asking:* Tracker enforces deadlines and surfaces them as overdue at the right time." + +**Action**: Generate `tracker.md` with active follow-ups table, overdue section, resolved section (empty), update log (empty).

Updates all companion-skill references from email-setup to inbox-setup throughout the spec. Inbox-triage is intentionally LIGHT-INTAKE — it runs on a recurring cadence with preferences pre-baked into the knowledge base from inbox-setup. The grill-me discipline here asks ONLY the override questions that matter THIS run: Q1 (optional) — search window override, asked only when invocation is outside normal cadence (e.g., on-demand run after long break wants 24h window; quick check wants 2h) Q2 (optional) — category skip override, asked only when user invokes with skip intent ("just opportunities", "skip newsletters") Stop condition: max 2 questions; default invocations skip both and run with KB-default preferences. Validation checklist requires the light-intake discipline to be stated explicitly so future generators don't add intake questions that break the recurring-execution flow. Knowledge-base file contract with inbox-setup remains identical: core required email-taxonomy.md + email-patterns.md, optional evaluation-framework.md + rate-card.md, evolving blocklist.md + tracker.md, Email/triage-log/ directory for per-run logs.

From bd4ddb552efb4cfe4f23f12a4217aca49abd34e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 12:14:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 093/196] =?UTF-8?q?docs(megaprompts):=20v2=20self-audit=20?= =?UTF-8?q?fixes=20=E2=80=94=206=20findings=20resolved?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Cross-skill consistency audit per the PR test plan surfaced six gaps; all six are fixed here in a single follow-up commit. Three were real bugs and three were surface inconsistencies that the orchestrator's cross-skill validation would flag. REAL BUGS (1) 13-research SIGNALS map: the most natural pulse router phrases ("pulse on", "take the pulse", "current conversation") were missing — invocations like "pulse on AI safety" would fall through to general fallback instead of routing to the pulse specialist. Added all three to pulse signals. Also added "grants for" + "litreview" stems. Removed bracketed placeholders ("research [company]", "research [person]") from dossier signals because the pseudo-code does literal substring matching and would never match a placeholder; added an inline comment explaining why placeholders are intentionally excluded (they would over-trigger on generic "research X" queries that should ask Q3 domain disambiguation instead). Updated the specialist-registry table row for dossier and the corresponding anti-pattern entry to match the new SIGNALS reality. (2) 01-pulse missing the Agent Integrity Rules block. Pulse predates the research-pack convention; the 0 hits across rate-limit/three- count/source-discipline/retry markers meant any orchestrator cross- skill validator would flag it as divergent. Added the full block: parallel-across-platforms / sequential-within / 1 q/sec per platform / source discipline with training-knowledge tagged / three-count tracking surfaced in synthesis audit / retry-once-after-3s / stop- after-3-consecutive-failures / plan-tier detection for Reddit + HN public APIs. Added the matching 7 rows to the validation checklist. (3) 06-inbox-setup missing explicit stop condition for its ~25–31- question intake (heaviest in the library). Added stop-condition spec: hard ceiling 35 questions, Section 4 skip drops total by 6, intake closes after Section 8 handoff and is never re-opened — re-running the skill is the way to change preferences later (detects existing files, asks per-file replace/merge/skip). One-at-a-time rule applies across section boundaries. SURFACE INCONSISTENCIES (4) 09-litreview + 10-syllabus used "Data Integrity Principles" as the section header for what 08/11/12/13 call "Agent Integrity Rules". Same content, divergent names. Normalized both to "Agent Integrity Rules (research-pack convention)" in section index, body header, and validation checklist row. (5) Trigger phrase lists in 08-grants, 09-litreview, 10-syllabus used smart quotes ("...") inherited from original drafts; rest of the library uses straight quotes ("..."). Normalized all three. (6) 08-grants frontmatter description listed "grants for [topic]" as a trigger but the Trigger Phrases bullet list did not include it. Added as the lead bullet so both surfaces agree. Same fix applied to 09-litreview (added "litreview on [topic]" bullet) and 10-syllabus (added "syllabus reading list" bullet) for parity with v2 naming. VERIFIED CLEAN - 13-research SIGNALS now: 3 pulse-router phrases present, "grants for" present, no bracketed placeholders in any specialist's literal list - 01-pulse: 3 hits on "Agent Integrity Rules", 2 on three-count, 2 on 1 q/sec, 1 on retry once, 1 on consecutive failures, 2 on source discipline - 06-inbox-setup: 1 hit on stop condition (was 0) - 09 + 10: 3 hits each on "Agent Integrity Rules", 0 hits on "Data Integrity Principles" - 08 + 09 + 10 trigger lists: 0 smart-quote occurrences NOT FIXED (intentional) - Several litreview triggers ("writing a paper on X", "help me research X") don't match the 13-research SIGNALS map. This is by design — those phrases fall through to Q3 domain disambiguation, where the user picks academic-literature explicitly. Auto-routing generic "research X" queries would over-trigger; the explicit fallback path is the right hybrid behavior. https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw --- megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md | 35 ++++++++++++++++++------ megaprompts/06-inbox-setup-megaprompt.md | 2 ++ megaprompts/08-grants-megaprompt.md | 11 ++++---- megaprompts/09-litreview-megaprompt.md | 21 +++++++------- megaprompts/10-syllabus-megaprompt.md | 23 ++++++++-------- megaprompts/13-research-megaprompt.md | 25 +++++++++++------ 6 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) diff --git a/megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md b/megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md index 1d484717..8383febf 100644 --- a/megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md +++ b/megaprompts/01-pulse-megaprompt.md @@ -31,17 +31,28 @@ The generated skill must follow this exact structure: ``` 1.

Matt's three SKILL.md rules preserved verbatim under MIT: - Interview relentlessly, one question per turn, walking the decision tree depth-first. - When a term is sharpened, update CONTEXT.md right there (don't batch). Use the format in CONTEXT-FORMAT.md. - Offer an ADR only when all three are true: hard to reverse, surprising without context, real trade-off. Use the format in ADR-FORMAT.md.

PASS/WARN/FAIL per rule. Smoke-tested: positive case PASS 7/7, negative case (broken file) correctly FAILs with 4 WARNs identifying every missing element. 2. adr_scanner.py — walks docs/adr/, checks NNNN-slug.md filename pattern, surfaces numbering gaps + duplicates, validates H1 + body on each ADR, sanity-checks optional status frontmatter, verifies "superseded by ADR-NNNN" targets exist. Smoke-tested: positive case PASS 12/12 on 3 sequential ADRs; negative case (gap + malformed filename + 2-word body) correctly FAILs and surfaces every issue. 3. glossary_code_consistency.py — extracts bold terms from CONTEXT.md, greps codebase, flags two grilling-question seeds: (a) DEAD GLOSSARY — terms defined but never used in code; (b) CODE-ONLY PROPER NOUNS — frequent capitalized identifiers in code that the glossary doesn't define (filtered against a stop-list of generic programming terms). Tunable threshold via --min-frequency. Smoke-tested: sample correctly flags 'Discount' (dead glossary) and 'Subscription' (code-only, at threshold 2). REFERENCES (each cites 7 authoritative sources) - ubiquitous_language.md — Evans (DDD blue book), Vernon (red book), Khononov (Learning DDD), Wlaschin (DDD Made Functional), Brandolini (EventStorming), Avram & Marinescu (DDD Quickly), Fowler bliki. - adr_practice.md — Nygard (2011 ADR essay), Tyree & Akerman (IEEE Software 2005), Zimmermann Y-statements, MADR template, ThoughtWorks Tech Radar, Joel Parker Henderson adr-tools, Spotify Backstage. - context_md_as_artifact.md — Khononov on language drift, Kernighan on naming, Fowler BoundedContext bliki, Fowler UbiquitousLanguage bliki, Confluent data contracts, Brandolini EventStorming, Evans on Conformist / Anticorruption Layer (DDD ch 14). AGENT + COMMAND - cs-grill-with-docs (engineering, opus model) — docs-aware grill persona. Pre-flights the 3 linters before the first question, uses their findings as opening question seeds, enforces the inline-edit + ADR-3-criteria-gate rules. - /cs:grill-with-docs <path-to-plan> — slash invocation. Six forcing-question patterns surfaced (glossary conflict, ADR contradiction, undefined term, code-vs-claim, ADR 3-criteria gate, boundary check). DIFFERENTIATION FROM SIBLING SKILLS - vs grill-me: grill-me grills a plan in a vacuum; grill-with-docs grills against CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ + codebase. Both ship as separate plugins. - vs caveman: different concern (depth-against-docs vs compression). - vs handoff: different mode (interrogate vs continuation). VERIFIED CLEAN - All 3 scripts pass `--help`, `--sample`, and JSON-output round-trip. - All 3 scripts correctly FAIL on deliberately broken inputs. - plugin.json parses as valid JSON, schema matches CLAUDE.md constraints (name, description, version, author, homepage, repository, license, skills, attribution — no extra fields). - MIT attribution present in: SKILL.md frontmatter + body header, ADR-FORMAT.md HTML comment, CONTEXT-FORMAT.md HTML comment, all 3 reference doc citations sections, plugin.json attribution block, README.md Attribution + License sections, agent + command footers. - File-tree mirrors grill-me's layout 1:1. TOTAL FOOTPRINT 13 files, 1,747 lines (3 markdown specs verbatim from Matt + 3 references + 3 stdlib scripts + 4 wrapper files). Comparable to grill-me's 11 files / 1,205 lines, larger by the weight of the 2 format files Matt ships upstream (ADR-FORMAT + CONTEXT-FORMAT, ~135 lines) and the heavier linter logic this skill requires. https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw --- .../.claude-plugin/plugin.json | 19 ++ engineering/grill-with-docs/README.md | 53 +++ .../agents/cs-grill-with-docs.md | 200 ++++++++++++ .../commands/cs-grill-with-docs.md | 100 ++++++ .../skills/grill-with-docs/ADR-FORMAT.md | 53 +++ .../skills/grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md | 83 +++++ .../skills/grill-with-docs/SKILL.md | 143 +++++++++ .../references/adr_practice.md | 111 +++++++ .../references/context_md_as_artifact.md | 105 ++++++ .../references/ubiquitous_language.md | 66 ++++ .../grill-with-docs/scripts/adr_scanner.py | 241 ++++++++++++++ .../scripts/context_md_linter.py | 272 ++++++++++++++++ .../scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py | 301 ++++++++++++++++++ 13 files changed, 1747 insertions(+) create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/.claude-plugin/plugin.json create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/README.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/agents/cs-grill-with-docs.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/commands/cs-grill-with-docs.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/ADR-FORMAT.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/SKILL.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/references/adr_practice.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/references/context_md_as_artifact.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/references/ubiquitous_language.md create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/scripts/adr_scanner.py create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/scripts/context_md_linter.py create mode 100644 engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs/scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py diff --git a/engineering/grill-with-docs/.claude-plugin/plugin.json b/engineering/grill-with-docs/.claude-plugin/plugin.json new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a7c15dad --- /dev/null +++ b/engineering/grill-with-docs/.claude-plugin/plugin.json @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +{ + "name": "grill-with-docs", + "description": "Docs-anchored grilling session — interrogates a plan against the project's existing language (CONTEXT.md) and recorded decisions (docs/adr/), updating those files inline as terminology and decisions crystallise.

Re-run `context_md_linter.py` if the edit is structural. +4. **ADR gate** — when an architectural-shape decision is reached, evaluate against the 3-criteria gate.

Engineers copy the partner's term into code without first reconciling with the glossary. +2. **Refactor pressure inside the bounded context.** A rename in code feels obvious ("`Booking` → `Reservation` is just a better name"), but the glossary isn't updated alongside. +3. **Convergence pressure between teams.** Multiple teams contributing to the same context use slightly different words for the same concept. Without a glossary as referee, all variants end up in code. + +`scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py` operationalizes the lint against these three forces: + +- **Defined-but-unused term** → a glossary entry that no code references. Either dead glossary (delete) or a rename happened (update glossary to match code). +- **Code-only proper noun** → a frequently-used capitalized term in code that the glossary doesn't define. Either generic (ignore) or domain (add to glossary now). + +## Five Practices That Keep CONTEXT.md Alive + +1. **Edit inline during the work.** Never batch glossary updates. When a term is introduced or refined during a feature, the same PR that adds the code edits `CONTEXT.md`. Reviewers reject PRs that introduce domain terms without glossary edits. +2. **Lint at PR time.** Run `scripts/context_md_linter.py` and `scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py` in CI. A new term in code without a glossary entry is a build warning; an outright rename mismatch is a build failure. +3. **Per-context glossaries, not one mega-glossary.** Multi-context repos use `CONTEXT-MAP.md` to point at per-context `CONTEXT.md` files. Cross-context terms get explicit translation entries ("Billing's `Customer` is Ordering's `Account`"). +4. **Pruning passes.** Quarterly, run `glossary_code_consistency.py` and review the dead-glossary report. Delete entries that no code uses. Keeping dead entries dilutes signal. +5. **One sentence per definition.** If a definition runs to a paragraph, the term is hiding two concepts. Split or sharpen. Long definitions are correlated with imprecise terms. + +## How CONTEXT.md Differs from Other "Documentation" + +| Artifact | Purpose | Update cadence | Audience | +|---|---|---|---| +| `README.md` | Onboarding + setup | Once at project start, occasionally after | New contributors | +| `ARCHITECTURE.md` | High-level system shape | Quarterly to yearly | New architects, senior engineers | +| `docs/adr/*.md` | Record of specific decisions | Per-decision (rare; days to months apart) | Anyone asking "why did we do X this way?" | +| **`CONTEXT.md`** | **The domain glossary — what each term means in this bounded context** | **Per-feature (continuous; hours to days apart)** | **Every engineer on every PR** | + +A `CONTEXT.md` is touched far more often than any other doc because it tracks the language as it evolves.

The same word must mean the same thing in conversation, in the glossary, in the type system, in the database schema, and in the UI. When language fractures across these surfaces, design defects follow: ambiguous bug reports, mismatched API contracts, broken refactors, junior engineers asking what an "account" is and getting three different answers. + +The glossary is the contract that prevents the fracture. It earns its place in source control because it changes at the same cadence as the code — every time a domain term is introduced, refined, or retired, the glossary must move with it. A wiki page that lives outside the repo will drift within a quarter. + +## Why a Glossary in Source Control (vs Wiki, Notion, Confluence) + +| Property | In-repo `CONTEXT.md` | External wiki | +|---|---|---| +| Reviewable in PR | Yes — diff is visible alongside code | No — reviewer must remember to check | +| Versioned with code | Yes — `git log` shows term evolution | No — wikis rarely have meaningful history | +| Discoverable by new engineers | Yes — `ls` of repo root finds it | No — depends on onboarding tribal knowledge | +| Mergeable | Yes — text format, conflict-resolvable | Often no — UI-driven | +| Linter-targetable | Yes — `scripts/context_md_linter.py` | No — usually not | +| Refactor-safe | Yes — renames are grep-able | No — wiki links rot silently | + +The glossary is a **language artifact**, not a documentation artifact.

Split it. +2. **Define what it IS, not what it does.** "An **Invoice** is a request for payment sent after delivery." Not "An invoice handles billing." +3. **List aliases to avoid.** When users say "bill" or "payment request" but mean "invoice", record that "bill" is forbidden. Without the `_Avoid_:` field, the glossary cannot push back on drift. +4. **Show relationships, not just terms.** "An **Order** produces one or more **Invoices**" tells you the cardinality. A list of bare terms doesn't. +5. **Exclude generic programming concepts.** "Timeout", "retry", "config" do not belong. Only terms specific to this project's domain qualify. + +## Anti-Patterns + +- **The "everything goes in" glossary.** When `CONTEXT.md` includes general programming concepts (timeout, error, util), it dilutes signal and degenerates into a wiki page. +- **The orphan glossary.** Terms defined but never used in code. Either the term is dead (delete it) or the code is using a synonym (rename code). +- **The opaque glossary.** Terms used in code but not defined. Either the term is generic (don't define it) or it's a domain concept that snuck in (define it now). +- **The deferred glossary edit.** "I'll batch up the glossary changes at the end of the sprint." By the end of the sprint, three more drift cases will have shipped. Glossary edits must land inline. +- **The frozen glossary.** No commits in 6+ months.

Validates the Path-B conversion pattern (megaprompt → SKILL.md + scaffolding) before batching the remaining 12 specs. SOURCE SPEC megaprompts/05-capture-megaprompt.md (PR #657). The megaprompt is the canonical spec; this plugin is the working implementation. Drift between the two is a bug — re-grill with /cs:grill-with-docs if they diverge. WHAT THE SKILL DOES Brain-dump organizer. Catches an unstructured stream of mixed thoughts/tasks/ideas and transforms it into a 4-section actionable system (Projects/Ideas, Tasks, Connections, How I Can Help) with zero information loss. Fast-to-action by design — no upfront intake. Asks at most ONE mid-organization clarifying question (only when one item is genuinely ambiguous between task and project). Workspace detection is real (Glob/Grep) — never fabricates connections. Compressed output for small dumps (≤5 unrelated items). PATH-B CONVERSION DISCIPLINE - Frontmatter description preserved verbatim from megaprompt spec. - Workflow structure (megaprompt lines 38-48) became SKILL.md section ordering 1:1. - 5 operating principles, 4 sections, anti-patterns list, validation checklist all preserved with minimal restructuring. - Some megaprompt prose offloaded into the 3 reference files (the wrapper additions). Net SKILL.md ~1,800 words, within the megaprompt's 1,400-2,000 word budget. - Trigger phrases all surfaced verbatim in SKILL.md "Invocation Triggers" section.

Comparable to grill-with-docs (13 files, 1,747 lines) — capture is leaner because it has no separate format files (Matt's grill-with-docs ships ADR-FORMAT.md + CONTEXT-FORMAT.md verbatim alongside SKILL.md; capture's spec is fully self-contained). VERIFIED CLEAN - All 3 scripts pass `--help`, `--sample`, and `--output json`. - workspace_inventory.py: correctly Glob+Greps embedded sample tree (6 files, 5 folders), surfaces auth+login matches with line numbers. - dump_classifier.py: labels 13-item sample dump (4 context, 4 task, 2 project-component, 2 question, 1 decision). Known limitation: verbs like "Brief" / "Rewrite" / "Do" not in task-trigger regex list — heuristic, documented in script docstring. - complexity_estimator.py: correctly recommends format=full on 14-item 4-cluster dump and format=compressed on 5-item 0-cluster dump. - plugin.json validates as JSON; conforms to repo's plugin schema (name, description, version, author, homepage, repository, license, skills + optional source attribution block). VERTICAL-SLICE STATUS This is Slice 1 of 13. Megaprompt shapes covered: ✓ Light prompt-flow (this slice — 02-reflect transfers cleanly) ☐ Research-pack (01-pulse, 03, 08-12) — Slice 2 ☐ Workflow-pair (06+07 email) — Slice 3 ☐ Generator (04-landing) — Slice 4 ☐ Orchestrator/router (13-research) — Slice 5; reconcile with existing engineering/autoresearch-agent/ After Slice 2 validates the research-pack conversion pattern (which includes the cross-skill consistency rules audited in PR #657), the remaining 11 skills can be batched.

If your skill needs to deviate from one, write an ADR explaining why and propose updates to this reference. + +## Why Each Rule Exists + +### Rule 1: 1 q/sec + parallel-across-independent-sources + +**Source rationale:** + +- Reddit's public JSON API has historically rate-limited at ~1 request per second per IP (uncertain exact ceiling, but 1 q/sec stays comfortably under). Higher rates trigger 429s; sustained higher rates can trigger IP bans. +- Hacker News's Algolia search has no documented hard rate limit but is community-shared infrastructure; 1 q/sec is polite. +- Web search APIs (varies) — 1 q/sec works across all common providers. + +**Parallel across independent sources** because Reddit / HN / Web do not share rate-limit state. Running them concurrently halves total wall-clock time. + +**Sequential within each source** because the rate limit applies per source, not globally. + +### Rule 2: Source discipline (no training-knowledge citations) + +The single most common failure mode for LLM-driven research is **hallucinated citations**: the model invents a plausible-sounding URL or paraphrases something from training data as if it had been fetched this session. Source discipline draws a hard boundary: + +- Every URL cited must appear in this session's tool-call output. +- Every claim in synthesis must trace to a citation. +- Training-knowledge mentions are explicitly labeled `[Background — not from search]` and don't count in the cited tally. + +This is what makes the skill auditable. A user reading the output can ask "where did this come from?" and the answer is always: "this URL, fetched at this timestamp, in this session." + +### Rule 3: Three-count tracking (sent / received / cited) + +The three counts make the funnel visible: + +- **Sent** — how many queries the skill issued +- **Received** — how many sources came back (sum of items across queries) +- **Cited** — how many made it into the synthesis + +When `cited` is very low relative to `received`, the synthesis was selective.

When `cited > received` (should never happen), source discipline broke. + +The `scripts/citation_tracker.py` enforces this deterministically. The audit log appears inline in the synthesis section so the user can see it without digging. + +### Rule 4: Retry-once-after-3s + stop-after-3-consecutive-failures + +**Why 3s + retry-once:** Most transient failures (rate limits, brief network blips, partial timeouts) resolve within 1-2 seconds. A 3-second backoff with one retry covers ~95% of recoverable cases. Aggressive retry (3-5 attempts with exponential backoff) is appropriate for production services but overkill for research — if a source is consistently failing, the user wants to know *now*, not after 30 seconds of retries. + +**Why 3 consecutive failures across all sources → stop:** Once 3 sources fail consecutively, something systemic is wrong (network, harness sandbox, API outage). Continuing wastes the user's time and produces a degraded briefing without warning them. + +**Counter:** failures of different sources reset the consecutive counter. Failing Reddit twice then succeeding on HN resets Reddit-failures to 2 (not consecutive with HN); failing again on Web makes it Web-1 (not 3-in-a-row). + +### Rule 5: Plan-tier detection + +For research-pack skills that hit paid APIs (e.g., Consensus, Algolia paid tier), the response headers surface rate-limit information: + +- `X-Ratelimit-Remaining: N` → degrade gracefully when N is low +- `X-Ratelimit-Reset: <timestamp>` → if exhausted, wait until reset +- `Retry-After: <seconds>` → honor exactly + +For unauthenticated APIs (Reddit, Algolia free, HN), these headers may not be present.

Validates the Path-B conversion pattern for two coupled skills sharing a strict 7-file KB contract. Also introduces the productivity/ domain folder per the navigation-map distinction in CLAUDE.md (engineering/ = software-engineering scope; productivity/ = generic productivity workflows). DOMAIN FOLDER DECISION CLAUDE.md defines engineering/ as "Engineering (POWERFUL) — Agent design, RAG, MCP, CI/CD, database, observability." Email triage is generic productivity, not software engineering. New folder: productivity/. Capture (Slice 1, merged in PR #659) was placed under engineering/ before this distinction was sharpened. It will move to productivity/ in a separate cleanup PR — moving a merged plugin in this slice would risk breaking anyone who installed it from engineering/capture/. Future productivity slices (02-reflect) will go under productivity/ from the start. SOURCE SPECS - megaprompts/06-inbox-setup-megaprompt.md (PR #657) - megaprompts/07-inbox-triage-megaprompt.md (PR #657) The megaprompts are canonical; these plugins are working implementations. PR #657's cross-skill consistency audit verified the 7 KB filenames align verbatim between the two megaprompts. This slice preserves that alignment. WHAT THE PAIR DOES Two coupled skills sharing a 7-file KB at ${WORKSPACE}/Email/: inbox-setup (run once): Interactive 8-section interview (~25-31 grill-me questions) → writes 7 KB files (taxonomy, patterns, evaluation-framework, rate-card, blocklist, tracker, triage-log/). inbox-triage (run recurringly): Light-intake (max 2 optional override questions).

Set `to`, `subject` (`Re: [original]`) +3. Body from `email-patterns.md` voice rules +4.

The skill is designed to not send. If the user wants automated send, that's a different skill with a different safety posture (likely much narrower scope — only sends in response to a specific webhook with specific approval state, etc.). Mixing autonomous-send with autonomous-classification is a bad combination. + +### "But the user already approved this offer" + +Approval at setup time is not approval at draft time. The user approves the FRAMEWORK (TAKE-IT signals, PASS signals) at setup. The user approves the actual sending of a specific reply at review time. These are different approvals. + +### "What about scheduled sends?" + +Scheduled send (e.g., "draft now, send in 2 hours") is still a send. The validator catches it. If the user wants to schedule a send, the user does it manually after reviewing the draft. + +### "What if I'm sure the draft is right?" + +Cool — open the draft, click send.

The drafts-only rule is security by design (the skill cannot send) vs by policy (the user is asked to please not send) — the former is much stronger. + +2. **Allspaw & Robbins, *Web Operations* (O'Reilly, 2010), Chapter 3** — blast radius reasoning. Email is a high-blast-radius surface; the cost of mistakes is high relative to the cost of inconvenience-by-design. + +3. **Google SRE Workbook — Chapter 16, "Canarying Releases".** Canarying applies to email automation: send a draft first (canary), let the user review (signal), then promote (user clicks send). The triage skill IS the canary half. + +4. **NTSB / Air Traffic Control "two-person rule" doctrine.** High-stakes actions require two-person authorization. Triage's draft + user-review-and-send pattern is the same doctrine: skill drafts, user authorizes, action occurs. + +5. **Atul Gawande, *Checklist Manifesto*** — the "kill switch" pattern.

Validates the Path-B conversion pattern for skills that produce a single artifact (HTML file) with motion-design discipline. Also introduces the marketing/ domain folder (parallel to productivity/, separate from the existing structured marketing-skill/ folder that houses the 44 pod-based marketing skills). SOURCE SPEC megaprompts/04-landing-megaprompt.md (PR #657). The megaprompt is the canonical spec; this plugin is the working implementation. WHAT THE SKILL DOES Premium single-file HTML landing page generator. Outputs one polished .html file with GSAP 3D animations, scroll-triggered reveals, and mouse-parallax depth. All CSS inline, all JS inline; only externals are Google Fonts (Inter) + GSAP via CDN. Phase 0: 4 forcing intake questions (one at a time): Q1 — product/service (refuses vague pitches) Q2 — audience register (technical/business/consumer/internal) Q3 — brand overrides (HEX vars, or "default") Q4 — tone (professional/playful/authoritative/minimal) Then generates a single .html with three sections (Hero, Features, Closing CTA), GSAP entrance timeline, mouse-parallax handler, ScrollTrigger feature reveals, CSS floating shapes, scroll indicator. DOMAIN FOLDER DECISION (marketing/ — new) The existing marketing-skill/ folder houses 44 pod-based marketing skills with its own internal structure. v2 megaprompt-derived landing skill is a single self-contained plugin — placing it inside marketing-skill/ would disrupt that folder's pod structure. Creating marketing/ alongside it, parallel to the new productivity/ folder, gives the v2 megaprompt slices a clean visually-parallel home. Both folders coexist. DISAMBIGUATION FROM EXISTING landing-page-generator The repo already has product-team/skills/landing-page-generator/ — the v2.1.2 work that outputs Next.js TSX + Tailwind for conversion-optimized lead-gen with copy frameworks (PAS/AIDA/BAB). The v2 megaprompt 04 is a DIFFERENT skill: single-file HTML with GSAP for premium visual one-pagers. Different output (HTML vs TSX), different optimization target (visual premium vs conversion), different animation approach (GSAP vs static). Both skills coexist. README.md disambiguates clearly. Pick by use case: visual premium one-pager → marketing/landing/ conversion lead-gen → product-team/skills/landing-page-generator/ PATH-B CONVERSION DISCIPLINE - Frontmatter description preserved verbatim from megaprompt spec. - Workflow structure (megaprompt lines 28-43) became SKILL.md section ordering 1:1. - All 4 grill-me intake questions preserved verbatim with "why I'm asking" rationale. - All 5 animation patterns preserved (Hero Entrance / Mouse Parallax / ScrollTrigger Reveals / CSS Floats / Scroll Indicator). - Default brand palette preserved verbatim (--navy / --teal / --teal-glow / --amber / --off-white / --text-muted / --card-bg / --card-border). - All 3 sections (Hero, Features, Closing CTA) preserved with full spec. - Required CDN dependencies preserved verbatim. - Anti-patterns + error-handling table + validation checklist preserved.

Real-world validation working as designed. Algorithmic palette derivation produces full var set in HSL space. - kebab_slug_generator.py: "Quill AI — Async Standup Tool" → kebab slug correctly handling em-dash.

The 4 Qs are dependency-ordered. +2. **Refuse vague Q1.** "App for productivity" gets pushed back once. If user still won't sharpen, deliver with explicit "generic positioning — page won't differentiate" caveat. +3. **No FOUC.** Every animated element gets `gsap.set()` initial state before GSAP timeline runs. +4. **Inline-only.** All CSS in `<style>`, all JS in `<script>`. Externals: Google Fonts + GSAP via CDN only. +5. **Responsive by default.** Breakpoints at 900px (tablet → 2-col) and 580px (mobile → 1-col). +6. **No hardcoded paths.** `${OUTPUT_DIR}` variable, default `./landing-pages/`. +7. **Single-pass write.** No outlining → drafting → polishing cycle.

Establishes the academic-literature variant of the research-pack shape + introduces the research/ top-level domain folder. SOURCE SPEC megaprompts/09-litreview-megaprompt.md (PR #657). Canonical. DOMAIN FOLDER DECISION (research/ — new) Pulse currently lives in engineering/ (placed before the domain-folder discipline crystallized). The right home for academic-research skills is research/ — parallel to productivity/, marketing/. This PR creates that folder; pulse + capture moves are deferred to a coordinated cleanup PR. Cumulative folder warts: - engineering/capture/ → productivity/capture/ (Slice 1 wart) - engineering/pulse/ → research/pulse/ (Slice 2 wart) Cleanup PR will address both before Slice 5 (orchestrator) lands. WHY ONE SKILL PER PR (NOT BATCH 6) User recommended batching 6 research-pack siblings. Doing 1 in this PR instead, with rationale: each megaprompt is dense (litreview alone is 266 lines with 8 DOCX sections, 3-tier search budget logic, cross-search intelligence trackers). 33-66 files of unfocused conversion risks Path-B fidelity. Subsequent PRs will ratchet up to 2 skills each now that the academic-literature pattern is validated. WHAT THE SKILL DOES Turns a research question into a strategically planned mini literature review delivered as an 8-section .docx. Grill-me intake (question + framework + tentative depth) before reconnaissance; second forcing checkpoint after Phase 2 confirms framework + sub-areas + final depth. Sequential Consensus searches at 1 q/sec, budget-allocated by tier (5/10/20). Cross-search intelligence (repeat-hits, recurring-authors, citations-per-year) feeds the "Start Here" + "Key Research Groups" DOCX sections. Output is a "launching pad" — orientation guide, not a finished review. PATH-B FIDELITY (megaprompt → SKILL.md) - Frontmatter description preserved verbatim from megaprompt. - 10-step workflow structure preserved 1:1 (Agent Integrity Rules → Error Handling → Phase 0 intake → Phase 1 recon → Phase 2 framework → Checkpoint → Phase 3 searches → Phase 4 DOCX → Doc structure → Technical requirements). - All 3 grill-me intake questions preserved verbatim with rationale. - All 5 Agent Integrity Rules preserved verbatim per PR #657 audit. - All 3 search budget tiers fully allocated (5/10/20 with explicit query breakdown per tier). - All 8 DOCX sections fully specified. - Interactive checkpoint described as forcing-options moment (not free-text). - Three frameworks (PICO/SPIDER/Decomposition) + Hybrid documented with examples. - Anti-patterns + error-handling table + validation checklist preserved. RESEARCH-PACK CONVENTION MARKERS (in SKILL.md per PR #657 audit) Agent Integrity Rules: 2 sequential: 5 three-count: 1 plan-tier: 3 1 query/sec: 2 checkpoint: 9 retry once: 2 Source discipline: 1 3 consecutive: 2 All markers present multiple times.

With resource-constrained env, correctly leads with R15 (the targeted mechanism). - citation_tracker: lifecycle works. Sequential discipline enforced. Multi-source counts (Consensus + RePORTER + NOSI) correctly aggregated. Audit-block output matches DOCX Section 9 format.

Pick one: person / company / nonprofit / government org / other.** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* Different source matrices apply.

What do you already believe about this subject, and what do you want to verify or disprove?** +> +> *Why I'm asking:* This is the critical question. A dossier that just confirms what you already think is worthless.

They produce a balanced profile, not a decision-grade dossier. The discipline is targeted disconfirming queries against a specific claim. + +### "I found 10 supporting, 0 disconfirming — must be true" + +Almost never. Either: +- The disconfirming queries weren't constructed (bias) +- The disconfirming search space wasn't explored (laziness) +- The hypothesis was trivially true (in which case, why use the skill?) + +When this happens, the script alerts and prompts more disconfirming queries. + +### "Disconfirming evidence found, but it's tertiary" + +Tier matters more than quantity. 1 primary disconfirming source (SEC filing, court record) > 5 tertiary disconfirming sources (Reddit threads). The verdict weights tier explicitly. + +### "Confirmation-biased verdict" + +The most common failure: the dossier finds disconfirming evidence in Phase 4 but the Executive Summary says SUPPORTED anyway. The skill is wired to fail this — the verdict comes from `citation_tracker`'s tier-weighted classification, not from narrative. + +### "Hypothesis vague enough that anything supports it" + +"This person is competent" is too vague — almost everything supports it. The push-back: "Competent at what specifically? At managing a team of 50? At raising Series B? At public speaking?"

Patent attorneys describe this as the **"different vocabulary problem"**: + +- A 1995 patent on "machine learning for image recognition" might describe its invention as "neural network for visual classification" — different terminology, same underlying concept +- A patent in semiconductors might use "transistor channel" where a software paper would use "data flow path" — same idea, different field's vocabulary +- A patent might intentionally use unusual terminology to **broaden claim scope** (legal strategy) + +The CPC/IPC classification system was designed precisely to bridge these vocabulary gaps. **Always-run class follow-up** is the skill's mechanical correction for keyword-only blind spots. + +## What Are CPC and IPC? + +| System | Maintained by | Granularity | Used by | +|---|---|---|---| +| **CPC** (Cooperative Patent Classification) | USPTO + EPO | ~250,000 classes | All major patent offices since 2013 | +| **IPC** (International Patent Classification) | WIPO | ~75,000 classes | Used as fallback in some jurisdictions | + +Both are hierarchical. Examples: + +- `G06N` → Computer systems based on specific computational models (CPC + IPC) +- `G06N3/00` → Computing arrangements based on biological models +- `G06N3/04` → Architecture, e.g. interconnection topology +- `G06N3/045` → Combinations of networks (deep learning hidden layers) + +When a patent examiner classifies a patent, they assign one or more CPC classes. Patents in the same class are conceptually related EVEN IF they use different vocabulary. + +## The CPC Class Follow-Up Pattern + +After initial keyword search returns top 5 hits: + +1. **Extract CPC classes** from those 5 hits +2. **Tally** to find the dominant class (1-3 classes typically) +3. **Run one class-restricted query** — same keywords + CPC class filter +4. **Compare** results to initial keyword-only results + +**Empirical observation:** the class-restricted query consistently surfaces 2-5 additional hits that the keyword search missed.

User concludes invention is novel; later examiner finds the missed art and rejects. Class follow-up prevents this expensive surprise. + +### FTO + +Missing class-adjacent active patents = **false confidence**. User ships product believing it's clear; gets sued by patent owner whose patent used different vocabulary. Class follow-up surfaces these. + +### Litigation prior-art + +Missing class-adjacent art before priority date = **weak invalidity case**. The art that would knock out the target patent might be using completely different vocabulary; class follow-up finds it. + +### Landscape + Diligence + +Class follow-up surfaces the **technology lineage** — which classes the field operates in, who files in each class, how the field has evolved. + +## Operational Pattern + +In `Phase 3` of patent's SKILL.md: + +``` +1. Run initial keyword queries (per sub-use-case) +2. Extract CPC classes from top 5 hits → identify 1-3 dominant classes +3. Run ONE class-restricted query: keywords + CPC class filter +4. Merge results, deduplicate, rank +5. (Optional) If multi-class: run one query per dominant class +``` + +The class follow-up is a **single additional query per dominant class** — minimal budget cost, high signal yield. + +## How to Identify the Right Class + +After initial search, look at the top 3-5 hits' classification fields. Most patent search interfaces (Google Patents, Espacenet, USPTO PPS) show CPC classes in the metadata. + +**Heuristic:** +- If 3+ of top 5 hits share a class → that's your dominant class +- If hits are spread across many classes → dominant class is the most-frequent across the top 10 hits +- If still spread → run class follow-up for top 2 classes (2 extra queries) + +## Anti-Patterns + +### Skipping class follow-up "to save queries" + +The skill's query budget per sub-use-case explicitly allocates 1-2 queries for class follow-up. **Skipping it to save 1 query is the most common false-economy** in patent search. The signal-per-query of class follow-up consistently exceeds keyword-only queries. + +### Relying solely on top-1 hit's class + +The top-1 hit might be an outlier. Look at the top 3-5 hits' shared classes for the dominant class. + +### Treating IPC and CPC as interchangeable + +CPC is more granular and modern (post-2013). When available, prefer CPC classes. Fall back to IPC for older patents that haven't been re-classified. + +### Class follow-up without CPC class identification + +Just running "G06N" with no further specificity is too broad. Use the most specific class that 2+ top hits share (e.g., `G06N3/045` not just `G06N`). + +### Ignoring class signals in DOCX + +The dominant CPC classes ARE valuable signal for the DOCX.

When Slice 2 (pulse) shipped in PR #660, the research/ folder didn't yet exist either. Both were placed in engineering/ as the catch-all. After Slices 3-5 established the productivity/, marketing/, and research/ top-level domain folders, those two early skills were left in engineering/ as warts. This PR resolves them BEFORE Slice 7 (13-research orchestrator) so the orchestrator can reference research/pulse/ as its routing target without further path churn. WHAT MOVED Two directories moved via `git mv` (preserves rename history): - engineering/pulse → research/pulse (11 files) - engineering/capture → productivity/capture (11 files) INTERNAL REFERENCES UPDATED Inside the moved directories: - .claude-plugin/plugin.json homepage URLs (engineering/X → new path) - agents/cs-*.md `skills:` frontmatter field CROSS-SKILL REFERENCES UPDATED 6 external files reference pulse and/or capture as sibling skills. All updated via sed: productivity/email/agents/cs-inbox-setup.md (capture ref) productivity/email/agents/cs-inbox-triage.md (pulse + capture refs) research/grants/agents/cs-grants.md (pulse ref) research/litreview/agents/cs-litreview.md (pulse ref + stale "will move in cleanup PR" caveat removed) research/dossier/agents/cs-dossier.md (pulse ref) marketing/landing/agents/cs-landing.md (pulse + capture refs) CODEX SYMLINKS RE-POINTED .codex/skills/{capture,pulse} symlinks updated to point at new locations. Verified resolution to SKILL.md files works. .codex/skills-index.json still references the old paths — this file is auto-regenerated by the codex-sync workflow on every merge to dev (prior commits: 9a47d85, bf5d4c2, f0176e0). Will regenerate fully when this PR merges.

Same shape as capture (11 files, max-1-question intake, fast-to-action), different mode — capture organizes external dumps; reflect re-examines internal conversation state. After this merges: 10 of 13 v2 megaprompts shipped. SOURCE SPEC megaprompts/02-reflect-megaprompt.md (PR #657). WHAT THE SKILL DOES Mid-conversation reflection. Pauses execution, re-reads the FULL conversation from original goal forward (not just recent turns), runs the 5-dimension analysis framework: - Macro Perspective (original goal vs current; drift detection) - Gap Analysis (assumptions / stakeholders / constraints / alternatives / external factors) - Reflective Inquiry (right problem? simpler path? harder valuable path avoided?) - Bias Check (confirmation / sunk cost / anchoring / complexity / recency — each with recognition cues) - Contextual Alignment (does direction serve actual goals + best use of time + external factors) Delivers flowing prose (NO headers, NO bullets). Ends with mandatory directional recommendation: Continue / Pivot to {X} / Pause for {Q}. KEY PATH-B PRESERVED ELEMENTS - Re-read FULL conversation from original goal (not just recent turns) — the discipline that distinguishes real reflection from local summary - Halt-current-thread stop directive (reflection is a pause, not a side-quest) - Honest-output discipline: NO manufactured problems when path is solid; NO vague reassurance ("looks good!") instead of specific reasoning - 5-dimension framework preserved verbatim - 5 biases preserved (confirmation, sunk cost, anchoring, complexity, recency) with recognition cues - Flowing prose enforced (no headers, no bullets in body) - Closing recommendation mandatory (Continue / Pivot to X / Pause for Q) - Low-intake: max 1 optional clarifier (only when context is thin); default to no questions - No name references (generic second-person throughout) - Implicit triggers OFFER reflection, never auto-invoke (10+ detail turns / frustration / dead-ends → ask user if they want to step back, don't unilaterally run) PURE-REASONING SKILL No external APIs. No DOCX generation. No file-system writes beyond audit. Most portable v2 skill — works in Claude Code CLI + Claude.ai web natively, no MCP dependencies, no Node.js, no Consensus account required.

Only Slice 7 (13-research orchestrator) remains. SOURCE SPEC megaprompts/03-notebooklm-megaprompt.md (PR #657). WHAT THE SKILL DOES Controls Google NotebookLM via browser automation. 4 core actions: 1. Read/Extract — chat-based extraction from existing notebook 2. Add Sources — push URL/text/file/Google Doc/synthesized content 3. Studio Outputs — 9 types (Audio Overview, Study Guide, Briefing Doc, Timeline, FAQ, Table of Contents, Infographic, Slides, Mind Map) with MANDATORY custom prompts 4. Create New Notebook — initialize with title + initial sources DOMAIN FOLDER research/. Semantic domain is research (users automate NotebookLM as part of their research workflow). But technical shape is completely different from research-pack siblings — distinct enough that the README + SKILL.md explicitly call out the shape difference. KEY PATH-B PRESERVED ELEMENTS - Critical portability notice at top — requires browser automation; graceful failure in non-automation contexts (Step 0 check) - Action-routing intake: Q1 forces 1-of-4 action commitment; refuses to start without it - Q2-Q4 branch per action (per-source-type for Q3, mandatory custom prompt for Q4 when Studio) - Screenshot-first discipline (NotebookLM is dynamic SPA) - find()-before-click semantic finder discipline - Tool-agnostic vocabulary (no "Claude Chrome Extension" hardcoding) - Never auto-handle login (detect login wall → halt, never type credentials) - Async fire-and-notify pattern for slow Studio ops (Audio Overview 5-10 min, Infographic/Slides/Mind Map 2-5 min) - Studio customization menu MANDATORY (chevron, not main button — defaults produce mediocre output) - File upload via file-upload tool, NOT native picker REPO STRUCTURE research/notebooklm/ ├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json ├── README.md ├── agents/cs-notebooklm.md ← browser-automation persona, │ async-discipline + screenshot │ enforcer ├── commands/cs-notebooklm.md ← /cs:notebooklm └── skills/notebooklm/ ├── SKILL.md ├── references/ │ ├── browser_automation_canon.md ← screenshot-first + │ │ find-before-click + │ │ tool-agnostic (7 sources: │ │ Anthropic Computer Use, │ │ Playwright, Selenium, │ │ WebDriver, MS Power Auto, │ │ ARIA, Anthropic cookbook) │ ├── studio_output_custom_prompts.md ← per-output-type templates │ │ (7 sources: NotebookLM │ │ docs, Anthropic prompt │ │ eng, Refactoring UI, │ │ Gallo Talk Like TED, │ │ Lencioni BLUF, Bloom, │ │ Tufte) │ └── async_action_discipline.md ← fire-and-notify canon │ (7 sources: Anthropic API │ timeouts, NotebookLM │ timing data, Erlang let- │ it-crash, AWS Step │ Functions, Twelve-Factor, │ Node event loop, │ Playwright/Selenium) └── scripts/ ├── action_router.py ← stdlib: Q1-Q4 → action │ plan + UI flow + required │ params + per-source-type │ and per-studio-type │ branching + validation ├── custom_prompt_template_generator.py ← stdlib: output type + │ audience + length + angle │ → starter prompt for 9 │ studio output types └── async_action_classifier.py ← stdlib: action → WAIT (with timeout) or FIRE_AND_NOTIFY (with notify message) 11 files, 2,003 lines.

Study_guide + undergraduate variant correctly applies "Define every technical term. Assume zero specialized background" rule. - async_action_classifier: audio_overview → FIRE_AND_NOTIFY (5-10 min, with notify message template). chat_send → WAIT (3-10s, 30s timeout, 3s polling). infographic → FIRE_AND_NOTIFY (2-5 min).

If still not present → take screenshot at T+15s, note delay +7. If T+30s and still no response → note error, retry once +8. If second attempt fails → report failure with screenshot +``` + +## Notify-Discipline Details + +For "notify" (fire-and-notify) actions: + +1. Click Generate (in the customization menu, after custom prompt is set) +2. Take screenshot **within 5s** to verify generation started +3. Confirm via visible signal: + - Spinner appearing + - Status text changing to "Generating..." + - Generate button disabled or replaced with "Cancel" +4. **Tell the user**: + > "Generation triggered for {output_type}. NotebookLM takes ~{N} minutes for this. NOT waiting in this session — NotebookLM will notify you in-app and via email when ready. Returning control to you." +5. **End the task**. Don't loop. + +## What Goes Wrong With Synchronous Waiting + +### Failure 1: Session timeout + +Skill clicks "Generate Audio Overview" at T+0. Browser-automation session times out at T+10min. Skill never confirms generation completed. User gets confused error message. + +### Failure 2: Wasted compute + +Skill loops `screenshot()` every 5s waiting for completion. 10 minutes × 12 screenshots/min = 120 wasted screenshots. Compute cost adds up. + +### Failure 3: Hides errors + +While waiting, if NotebookLM shows a transient error and recovers, the skill's wait loop might not catch it. Better: confirm started, hand off to NotebookLM's own error handling. + +### Failure 4: Blocks user + +User wanted to do something else while Audio Overview generated. Synchronous wait blocks the session. + +## What Goes Wrong With Premature Notify + +The opposite failure: applying fire-and-notify to a fast action. + +### Anti-example: Read/Extract chat send + +If the skill clicks send + immediately notifies "Response is being generated", the user has to come back later to retrieve it. But chat responses complete in 3-10s. Waiting is correct. + +### Anti-example: Add Source URL + +URL ingestion is 5-15s. The skill should wait for the ingestion spinner to clear, then confirm success. Premature notify means user doesn't know if the source was added successfully. + +The 2-minute dividing line is empirically the right boundary. Below it, wait. Above it, notify. + +## Tooling + +`scripts/async_action_classifier.py` returns the wait-or-notify verdict per action: + +```bash +python async_action_classifier.py --action audio_overview +# Returns: FIRE_AND_NOTIFY (estimated 5-10 min) + +python async_action_classifier.py --action add_source_url +# Returns: WAIT (estimated 5-15s, timeout 60s) +``` + +Use this before triggering any Studio or Add-Source action so the skill applies the right pattern. + +## Edge Cases + +### Generation visibly fails immediately + +If the Generate click results in an error toast within 5s → catch it, report, don't notify "in progress." + +### Generation queued behind another generation + +NotebookLM serializes Studio generations per notebook. If user requests Audio Overview while previous one is generating → either: +- Wait for previous to clear (only if previous is ~30s from completion based on visible progress) +- Notify: "Previous generation in progress; new one will queue" + +### User cancels mid-generation + +If user types "stop" while skill is in wait loop → stop polling, screenshot final state, report what was triggered. + +## Anti-Patterns + +### Synchronous wait on Audio Overview + +The classic failure. 5-10 min wait exceeds session timeout. + +### Fire-and-notify on chat send + +Premature notify on fast action. User can't tell if it worked. + +### No completion signal verification + +Just clicking Generate and notifying without confirming generation started. If the click missed (semantic find on wrong element), the user thinks generation started when it didn't. + +### Loop screenshot every 1s during wait + +Wastes compute. 10-15s intervals are fine for waits. + +### Ignore visible error toasts + +If error appears, react.

The right choice depends on how predictable + auditable the routing needs to be. + +## For Query Routing, Determinism Wins + +Routing is **fundamentally a control-flow decision**: it determines which subsystem runs next. Like any control-flow decision in software, predictability + auditability are first-order properties. + +Compare to other deterministic control-flow systems: + +- **Compilers** use deterministic lexer + parser, not LLMs. +- **Routers** (network sense) use deterministic CIDR matching, not LLMs. +- **CI/CD systems** use deterministic file-pattern triggers, not LLMs. +- **Linters + formatters** use deterministic AST-walking, not LLMs. + +These are all systems where users need to predict + debug behavior. LLM-reasoned routing in any of them would be a regression. Same applies to skill routing. + +## The Bracketed-Placeholder Anti-Pattern + +A common mistake when building keyword classifiers: using bracketed placeholders as signals. + +**Wrong:** +```python +SIGNALS = { + dossier: ["dossier on [company]", "background check on [person]", "research [entity]"] +} +``` + +**Why wrong:** the "research [entity]" pattern collapses to "research" as a substring match, which matches every research request ever. The signal over-triggers + breaks the classifier. + +**Right:** +```python +SIGNALS = { + dossier: ["dossier on", "background check", "background on", "competitor research"] +} +``` + +**Why right:** verb-noun pairs ("dossier on", "background on", "competitor research") are specific to dossier intent. Generic "research X" stays in fallback territory until paired with a specialist-specific noun. + +This is the post-PR-#657-audit lesson encoded as a hard rule. + +## What Counts As A "Signal" + +A signal is a **case-insensitive literal phrase (multi-word substring)** that, when present in the user's question, indicates a specialist domain. Good signals are: + +- **Specific enough** that they don't appear in unrelated queries (good: "literature review", bad: "research") +- **Common enough** that users actually say them (good: "due diligence", bad: "actuarial diligence assessment framework") +- **Diverse enough** to cover surface variations (good: "lit review" + "literature review" + "litreview"; bad: only one form) +- **Verb-noun-paired** when the noun alone is ambiguous (good: "dossier on" + "background on"; bad: just "company name") + +## Confidence Thresholds + +The skill commits to a specialist at **≥2 signals** for two reasons: + +1. **2 signals reliably indicate intent.** "PICO + meta-analysis" doesn't show up in unrelated queries. +2. **1 signal isn't strong enough.** "PICO" alone might be a clinical question, a syllabus question, or a litreview question. The second signal distinguishes. + +The single-weak-match exception (1 signal + only one specialist with any score) handles the case where the user used a highly specific phrase that no other specialist's signals overlap with. "What's the FTO landscape" → only patent has any score → route to patent even though it's just 1 signal. + +The "ask Q3 disambiguation" exception handles the case where multiple specialists each have score 1, OR no specialist has any score. Both indicate genuine ambiguity that the classifier can't resolve. + +## What Goes Wrong With LLM-Reasoned Classification + +### Non-determinism + +Same query, different responses across invocations. User says "what are people saying about X" — sometimes routes to pulse, sometimes to dossier, sometimes to fallback. User can't develop intuition for the system. + +### Cost + +500ms-2s per classification × hundreds of routing decisions/day adds up. Deterministic classifier is sub-millisecond + free. + +### Debuggability + +When LLM routes "weirdly," there's no signal to inspect. With deterministic classification, the user sees "matched signals: PICO, meta-analysis" and understands why. + +### Prompt drift + +LLM classifier behavior changes when the underlying model version changes. Deterministic classifier behavior is locked to the signals list. Auditable + reproducible. + +## What Goes Wrong With Pure Keyword Classification + +### Fuzzy intent + +User says "I want to understand what the academic community thinks about CRISPR safety." No keyword matches litreview signals (no "PICO", no "systematic review", no "literature review"). Classifier punts to fallback even though litreview was the right answer. + +**Mitigation:** Q3 disambiguation handles this. User picks "academic literature" → routes to litreview. The architecture's clarification path covers the fuzzy-intent case. + +### Surface-form proliferation + +Users say "lit review", "literature review", "litreview", "review the literature on", "review papers on", "look at the papers about", "what does the research say about" — that's 7 surface forms for the same intent. Signals list grows. + +**Mitigation:** Cover the top-N surface forms (3-5 per specialist). Let Q3 handle the long tail. + +### Polysemy + +"Patent" could mean a legal patent (route to patent specialist) OR a medical term ("the symptoms are patent" = obvious). Keyword matching can't distinguish. + +**Mitigation:** Multi-signal requirement reduces false positives. "Patent + prior art" is unambiguously patent intent. + +## The Right Hybrid: Deterministic First, Clarify When Stuck + +The architecture combines: + +1. **Deterministic classification** for the high-confidence path (cheap + fast + predictable) +2. **Q3 disambiguation** for the genuinely-ambiguous path (LLM-free; user picks from 7 options) +3. **Fallback workflow** for the no-specialist path + +This is strictly better than pure-LLM classification (cheaper, faster, more predictable) and strictly better than pure-keyword classification (handles fuzzy intent via Q3). + +## Operational Discipline + +When adding a new signal to the SIGNALS map: + +- [ ] Verify the signal doesn't appear in queries that should route elsewhere (false positive check) +- [ ] Verify the signal does appear in queries that should route to this specialist (false negative check) +- [ ] Check for case-insensitivity (the matcher is case-insensitive, but be explicit) +- [ ] Avoid bracketed placeholders +- [ ] Use verb-noun pairs when the noun alone is ambiguous +- [ ] Document why this signal was added (which queries it covers) + +When removing a signal: + +- [ ] Check what queries previously routed via this signal +- [ ] Confirm they still route correctly (via another signal OR via Q3) +- [ ] Update the documentation + +## Tooling + +`scripts/classifier.py` implements the deterministic SIGNALS-matching algorithm.

This reference explains the **why** behind each step + the failure modes per step + the tooling that supports it. + +### Step 1: Decompose + +Break the research question into 3–5 sub-questions. Use the framework: **what / why / how / who / what's next**. + +**Why decompose?** A 1-sentence research question rarely has a 1-source answer.

Cap at 5. + +**Tooling:** `scripts/fallback_decomposer.py` returns a deterministic starting point. Override + refine before searching. + +### Step 2: Source Selection + +For each sub-question, pick the right source class. Use the deterministic mapping in SKILL.md: + +- Recency-sensitive → WebSearch + WebFetch (+ optional Reddit/HN signal) +- Technical specs → WebSearch + WebFetch +- Academic → Consensus MCP if available; else WebSearch + scholar.google.com filter +- Data / numbers → WebSearch for primary documents +- Entity-level → consider routing back to `dossier` + +**Failure mode:** using a wrong-class source (e.g., WebSearch for academic when Consensus would have produced higher-quality results). The mapping is deterministic for a reason. + +### Step 3: Search + +Sequential per sub-question. **1 q/sec rate limit** (research-pack convention). Per source: 2–4 queries, broad-to-narrow. + +**Why broad-to-narrow?** Broad queries map the landscape; narrow queries find the high-signal sources within it. Going narrow-only often misses the orienting overview. + +**Failure mode:** parallel search bursts that trigger rate-limiting or get blocked. Sequential is the discipline. + +### Step 4: Read + Extract + +For each high-signal result: WebFetch the full content + extract the relevant section + note the URL. + +**Why extract, not summarize?** Direct quotes + section references make citations verifiable. Summaries hide the source structure. + +**Failure mode:** synthesizing from search snippets without WebFetch. Snippets are not sources. + +### Step 5: Synthesize Per Sub-Question + +For each sub-question: 2–4 paragraphs with inline citations. Surface disagreement when sources disagree. + +**Why per-sub-question?** Sub-question structure carries through to the output. Reader can navigate to the part they care about. + +**Failure mode:** synthesizing across sub-questions in one mega-paragraph. Loses the navigability + makes disagreements harder to surface. + +### Step 6: Cross-Cutting Patterns + +After per-sub-question synthesis: 1–2 paragraphs of patterns across all sub-questions — consensus, controversy, gaps. + +**Why a separate section?** Pattern-level claims (e.g., "all sources agree on X but disagree on Y") are valuable for the reader's understanding but don't belong inside any single sub-question's synthesis. + +**Failure mode:** skipping this step because "the sub-questions cover it". They don't — the cross-cutting view is its own contribution. + +### Step 7: Output + +Markdown brief by default. DOCX if Q2 = document mode. Honor user preference. + +**Why honor preference?** Document mode triggers deeper search budgets + full audit logs. Brief mode is optimized for fast delivery. Different goals → different output shapes. + +**Failure mode:** producing DOCX when user wanted brief (overkill) or producing brief when user wanted DOCX (loses citations). + +### Step 8: Audit Log + +Three-count summary (queries sent / sources received / sources cited) + per-source list with reliability tier. + +**Why audit?** Research-pack convention. Lets the reader verify the orchestrator didn't fabricate sources or hide failures. + +**Failure mode:** skipping the audit. Audit is what makes the fallback output trustworthy. + +## The Three-Count Convention + +The research-pack convention requires tracking three integers throughout the fallback workflow: + +- **Sent**: queries actually issued (WebSearch + WebFetch + Consensus calls) +- **Received**: results returned from those calls (after filtering) +- **Cited**: sources actually cited in the final output + +The relationship `sent >= received >= cited` is always true. When it isn't, something went wrong. + +**Why three counts?** They make the orchestrator's search productivity visible. If sent=15, received=3, cited=1, the question was too niche or the search strategy was off. If sent=5, received=20, cited=15, the orchestrator found a rich vein. The reader can interpret the result quality based on the counts. + +## Source Discipline + +The orchestrator cites **only sources returned by this session's tool calls**. Training knowledge is labeled `[Background — not from search]` and excluded from the three-count. + +**Why?** Citations must be verifiable. A "cited" source that wasn't actually retrieved is a fabrication, regardless of how well it matches the orchestrator's training data. + +**Failure mode:** inferring a citation from background knowledge + presenting it as if retrieved. This is the highest-severity research-pack violation. + +## Retry + Failure Policy + +- **On single failure**: wait 3s → retry once → log. +- **After 3 consecutive failures**: stop, alert user, share what was collected. + +**Why 3s + single retry?** Most failures are transient (rate limit, network blip). 3s + retry catches them. After 3 in a row, something structural is wrong (API outage, blocked endpoint, query-format issue); halt + escalate. + +**Failure mode:** infinite retry loops that consume the session budget. The 3-consecutive-failure stop is the safety valve. + +## Reliability Tier Classification + +Per source, classify as: + +- **Primary** — original source (peer-reviewed paper, government document, company filing, original announcement) +- **Secondary** — derivative reporting (news article summarizing a paper, blog post analyzing a filing) +- **Tertiary** — aggregator or wiki (Wikipedia, news aggregator, opinion piece) + +**Why surface tiers?** Reader needs to know which claims rest on primary evidence vs derivative reporting. A consensus claim backed by 5 secondary sources is weaker than the same claim backed by 1 primary source. + +**Failure mode:** misclassifying tier to make the audit look better. Honest tiering > polished audit. + +## Disagreement Surfacing + +When two sources disagree on a sub-question's answer: + +- **Name both positions** in the synthesis +- **Cite both sources** +- **State which seems stronger** + why (primary vs secondary, recency, methodology) +- **Don't pick a winner without reasoning** + +**Why?** Hiding disagreement misleads the reader. Surfacing it lets them apply their own judgment. + +**Failure mode:** averaging two disagreeing sources into a mushy middle that neither source actually supports. This is the synthesis equivalent of fabrication. + +## When To Stop Searching (Fallback Mode) + +The fallback workflow is **not infinite**. Q4 sets the budget (5 searches for quick scan, 15 for thorough). Stop when: + +- Budget exhausted +- All sub-questions have ≥1 high-signal source +- 3-consecutive-failure threshold hit +- User says "stop" or "that's enough" +- Diminishing returns (last 3 searches produced no new high-signal sources) + +**Why budget the search?** Open-ended search is the failure mode that turns "research X" into a 30-minute exploration. Budget forces commitment + delivery. + +## What Goes Wrong With Fallback + +### Fabricated sources + +The orchestrator infers a citation from background knowledge. Highest-severity violation. **Prevention:** strict source discipline + three-count tracking makes this auditable. + +### Thin results presented as comprehensive + +Search returned 2 sources. Orchestrator presents conclusions as if backed by 10. **Prevention:** surface the audit counts. Reader sees `cited: 2` + adjusts confidence. + +### Skipping cross-cutting patterns + +Per-sub-question synthesis without cross-cutting view. Reader misses the pattern-level insight. **Prevention:** Step 6 is mandatory. + +### Skipping audit + +Output without the audit section. **Prevention:** Audit is part of the output format, not optional. + +### Wrong output format + +User asked for brief, got DOCX.

User never sees the routing. If they wanted general research instead, they have to notice the output came from pulse, then re-invoke. This burns trust + a session. + +**Fix:** Routing transparency is mandatory. State decision + accept override. + +### LLM-reasoned classification + +Skill uses Claude to "decide" which specialist matches. Adds latency, costs tokens, is non-deterministic across invocations (same query → different route). User can't predict what will route where. + +**Fix:** Deterministic keyword matching. Predictability is the value. + +### Over-eager specialist routing + +Skill routes "research Microsoft" to `dossier` based on the word "research". But the user might want general research about Microsoft, not a competitor dossier. The single weak signal isn't strong enough. + +**Fix:** Generic "research [topic]" doesn't route. Specific phrases like "dossier on Microsoft" or "background on Microsoft" do. + +### Specialist intake pre-answering + +Orchestrator collects Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5 (passing all into the specialist). Specialist's own grill-me is now redundant; user has to confirm answers twice. + +**Fix:** Pass Q1 + Q2 only. Let specialist run its own intake. + +### Fallback when specialist would have done better + +User asks "review papers on GLP-1 receptor agonists" but skill runs fallback because the classifier missed "review papers" → "literature review" stemming. User gets generic web-search summary instead of structured litreview output. + +**Fix:** Signals list must include all reasonable surface forms ("review papers on", "literature review", "lit review", "litreview", etc.). + +## When Hybrid Is The Right Architecture + +The hybrid pattern is most valuable when: + +- Specialists exist + cover non-trivial portion of likely requests +- Specialists have different intake/output shapes (forcing user to know which to use is a tax) +- Generic fallback exists + is acceptable (better than rejecting the request) +- Routing can be made deterministic (predictable classification > LLM "vibes") + +When these aren't true, simpler architectures win: + +- No specialists yet?

skills in marketplace + codex sync MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Resolves the two follow-ups left after the v2 megaprompt sweep. **marketplace.json (.claude-plugin/):** +12 plugin entries for the new v2 skills across 3 categories. Categories added: productivity (3), research (8). | Plugin | Source | Category | |---|---|---| | capture-skill | ./productivity/capture | productivity | | email-pair | ./productivity/email | productivity | | reflect-skill | ./productivity/reflect | productivity | | landing | ./marketing/landing | marketing | | pulse | ./research/pulse | research | | litreview | ./research/litreview | research | | grants | ./research/grants | research | | dossier | ./research/dossier | research | | patent | ./research/patent | research | | syllabus | ./research/syllabus | research | | notebooklm | ./research/notebooklm | research | | research-orchestrator | ./research/research | research | Per CLAUDE.md ClawHub rules: cs- prefix not used in repo registry (reserved for ClawHub when slug conflicts arise). 12 entries cover 13 skills (email-pair holds inbox-setup + inbox-triage). Total plugins in marketplace: 43 → 55. **.codex sync:** Manually created 11 missing symlinks under .codex/skills/ (capture + pulse already existed from prior auto-sync). Added 13 entries to .codex/skills-index.json with category metadata. Total skills: 290 → 303. **scripts/sync-codex-skills.py:** Added productivity/, marketing/, and research/ to SKILL_DOMAINS so future automated sync runs pick up the new top-level domains (previously only domain folders were registered). Manual symlink creation deliberately avoids the script's full --dry-run-flagged 16 [UPDATED] symlinks on pre-existing duplicate-path skills (chief-ai-officer-advisor, chaos-engineering, etc., which have both nested-plugin and flat paths in the repo). That churn belongs in a separate cleanup PR — not in this release-prep PR. Validation: - marketplace.json: 55 plugins, all 7 required fields, no duplicates - skills-index.json: 303 entries across 11 categories - all 13 megaprompt symlinks resolve correctly - 8-phase plugin audit on research/research: PASS WITH WARNINGS (Phase 2 structure 84.1/GOOD, Phase 5 security PASS, scripts 3/3) https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw --- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | 252 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- .codex/skills-index.json | 90 +++++++++++- .codex/skills/dossier | 1 + .codex/skills/grants | 1 + .codex/skills/inbox-setup | 1 + .codex/skills/inbox-triage | 1 + .codex/skills/landing | 1 + .codex/skills/litreview | 1 + .codex/skills/notebooklm | 1 + .codex/skills/patent | 1 + .codex/skills/reflect | 1 + .codex/skills/research | 1 + .codex/skills/syllabus | 1 + scripts/sync-codex-skills.py | 12 ++ 14 files changed, 354 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) create mode 120000 .codex/skills/dossier create mode 120000 .codex/skills/grants create mode 120000 .codex/skills/inbox-setup create mode 120000 .codex/skills/inbox-triage create mode 120000 .codex/skills/landing create mode 120000 .codex/skills/litreview create mode 120000 .codex/skills/notebooklm create mode 120000 .codex/skills/patent create mode 120000 .codex/skills/reflect create mode 120000 .codex/skills/research create mode 120000 .codex/skills/syllabus diff --git a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json index f33f4923..259ba7c6 100644 --- a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json +++ b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ "name": "Alireza Rezvani", "url": "https://alirezarezvani.com" }, - "description": "272 production-ready skill packages for Claude AI across 9 domains: engineering advanced (71 unique — incl. 4 Matt Pocock-derived productivity skills with validation wrappers), engineering core (51), marketing (45), c-level advisory (34), product (17), regulatory/QMS (14), project management (9), business growth (5), and finance (4).

If the user drops off mid-interview, partial KB is still useful. +5. **Sample collection is non-negotiable.** S3.SAMPLES is the highest-quality voice signal. If user refuses, flag in patterns file that calibration may need iteration. +6. **Skip Section 4 entirely** when S1 surfaced no opportunity-email category. Don't ask 6 useless questions. +7. **Privacy boundary.** Never persist passwords, credentials, SSNs, account numbers. +8. **Re-run safe.** Per-file replace/merge/skip prompt on existing files. + +## Skill Integration + +**Skill Location:** [`skills/inbox-setup`](https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/productivity/skills/inbox-setup) + +### Python Tools (Stdlib) + +1. **KB Validator** + - Path: [`scripts/kb_validator.py`](https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/productivity/skills/inbox-setup/scripts/kb_validator.py) + - Usage: `python kb_validator.py --workspace ${WORKSPACE}` + - Validates the 7-file KB structure (required files present, conditional files only if their sections exist, headers + bold-section markers correct). + +2. **Section Progress Tracker** + - Path: [`scripts/section_progress_tracker.py`](https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/productivity/skills/inbox-setup/scripts/section_progress_tracker.py) + - Usage: `python section_progress_tracker.py --action {start,record_q,record_section_done,status,close}` + - JSON-backed walk state at `~/.inbox_setup_sessions/<session>.json`.

If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?" + +### Update CONTEXT.md inline + +When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md). + +`CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else. + +### Offer ADRs sparingly + +Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true: + +1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful +2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?" +3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons + +If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md). + + + +## Wrapper Additions + +The additions below are **not** part of Matt's upstream skill. They operationalize the upstream's rules into deterministic, stdlib-only validators that pair naturally with the interview loop. + +### Workflow (with wrapper tools) + +1. **Pre-flight (before the first question):** + - Run `scripts/context_md_linter.py CONTEXT.md` if a `CONTEXT.md` exists — confirms the glossary is well-formed before grilling against it. + - Run `scripts/adr_scanner.py docs/adr/` if `docs/adr/` exists — surfaces numbering gaps, malformed ADRs, status-frontmatter inconsistencies. + - Run `scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py --context CONTEXT.md --code src/` — flags defined-but-unused terms (dead glossary) and code-only common nouns that may need definitions. Use these flags as opening grill questions. + +2. **During the session (Matt's rules apply):** + - One question per turn, walking depth-first. + - When a term is sharpened: edit `CONTEXT.md` immediately; re-run `context_md_linter.py` if the edit is structural. + - When an ADR is warranted: write it under `docs/adr/`; re-run `adr_scanner.py` to confirm numbering. + +3. **Closing:** + - Final `glossary_code_consistency.py` run to confirm no new orphan terms were introduced. + - Summarize: terms added/refined, ADRs written, scenarios discussed, open items. + +### Tools (stdlib-only) + +| Tool | One-line role | +|---|---| +| `scripts/context_md_linter.py` | Validate `CONTEXT.md` against the CONTEXT-FORMAT.md structure. PASS/WARN/FAIL per rule. | +| `scripts/adr_scanner.py` | Walk `docs/adr/`, check `NNNN-slug.md` pattern, numbering integrity, body completeness. | +| `scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py` | Cross-reference bold terms in `CONTEXT.md` against codebase usage.
