# HyperTwist Phase S6-A First-Party Provider-Neutral Profile And Routing Skills Preparation Packet

Date: 2026-05-31
Owner lane: `lane/skillization/provider-ops`
Owner features:
- `feature/skills/inspect-provider-profile`
- `feature/skills/setup-byok-profile`
- `feature/skills/diagnose-provider-routing`

## Scope

Land the bounded first-party provider/ops skill layer for:
- `inspect-provider-profile`
- `setup-byok-profile`
- `diagnose-provider-routing`

These skills sit above the already landed provider-neutral speech/provider
runtime seams and the existing `provider-routing-inspector` wrapper.

## Authority Basis

- `A`: first-party provider-neutral speech/provider runtime and contract surfaces
- `R`: landed `Phase 6R-X`, `Phase 6R-Y`, and `Phase 6R-AI` packets
- `F`: skillization doctrine `S6-A` outputs and acceptance gate

## First-Party Dependencies

- skill registry/control/audit/authoring substrate
- landed `skill/provider-routing-inspector` wrapper
- first-party provider profile definitions
- first-party BYOK custody definitions
- first-party provider routing policy and route-decision state
- first-party provider service-health capability state

## UI / Settings Exposure

- stays in `skill-group/provider-operations`
- remains optional-assistive, installed-when-disabled, and inert-when-disabled
- no new provider-specific overlay shell is introduced in this phase

## Audit / Provenance

- invocation-ledger required for all three skills
- produced artifacts:
  - `artifact/provider-profile-inspection-brief`
  - `artifact/provider-byok-setup-brief`
  - `artifact/provider-routing-diagnostic-brief`

## Validation Plan

- registry/family/status count update
- control-state visibility update
- audit-ledger invocation update
- authoring/eval contract coverage update
- focused `Phase S6-A` state and serialization tests

## Off-State Behavior

- skills remain visible and opt-in by default
- disabling the skills leaves provider runtime ownership unchanged
- no mutation of underlying provider credentials or endpoints occurs

## Acceptance Gates

- custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints remain first-class
- user-labeled BYOK profiles remain supported
- provider neutrality remains preserved
- no provider-specific overlay widening is introduced

## Non-Goals

- usage/cost audit widening
- topology inspection or service-diagnostics shell work
- provider-specific dashboard or portal overlays
- actual secret mutation or external provider account operations
