Indexed Skills (49)
encapsulation
This skill should be used when the user asks to "audit plugin encapsulation", "check self-containment semantics", "find contributor-knowledge assumptions", or invokes /encapsulation. Reviews LLM-facing prose in this project's plugin SKILL.md files and plugin description metadata for Plugin Encapsulation compliance: prose that assumes contributor documentation knowledge or rephrases banned references to bypass deterministic checks. Project-local contributor tooling.
verify
This skill should be used when the user asks to "verify protocols", "check consistency before commit", "validate definitions", "run pre-commit checks", "verify soundness", or wants to ensure epistemic protocol quality. Invoke explicitly with /verify for pre-commit validation.
realign
Project guide direction line via three-horizon fusion. Invoke with /realign.
probe
Deficit Recognition Probe — surface multiple deficit hypotheses for the user's current situation and route by user-constituted recognition (fit review, not protocol scoring).
formal-review
This skill should be used when the user asks to "formal review", "formal lens review", or invokes /formal-review. A fixed-lens PR review for this repository's formally-structured protocol changes: it pins a Category Theory / Type Theory / Operational Semantics lens panel over only the files changed in a PR, analyzes each lens in isolation, adversarially cross-verifies the findings, and posts the survivors as a single consolidated PR comment. Project-local contributor tooling.
review-loop
Convergence-paced review-resolve loop over a change and its governing surfaces. Verifies each finding against the codebase and the base it is measured from, then re-reviews until each is disposed of.
realize
This skill should be used when the user asks to "run the eval", "test whether the protocol actually works at runtime", "check type realization", "measure protocol fulfillment", "run the type-realization suite", "does the gate actually stop", or wants runtime evidence that a protocol's formal transition contract is realized rather than an assessment of downstream artifact quality. Invoke explicitly with /realize and a skill argument.
release
Release for this repo — CalVer tag + narrative prepend.
image-companion
A symbolic slide image for a document passage, consistent with the artifact's companion images. Use when the user wants a diagram or visual symbol for a section. Composes /forge + Codex.
zero-shot
Use when the user asks to "check zero-shot", "audit few-shot anchoring", "find example anchoring", or invokes /zero-shot. Read-only audit of LLM-facing prose: principle over anchoring examples.
white-bear
Use when the user asks to "check white bear", "audit prohibitions", "find negative framing", or invokes /white-bear. Read-only audit: unnecessary competing-target mentions in LLM-facing prose.
ascend
Elevate a vague recall whose right resolution unit is not any single session but a connected-session chain, a topic cluster, or an already-sedimented concept. AI traverses the deposit graph by reconstructing cross-partition connections at read-time from stored anchors and shared keywords/metadata, recognizes the higher unit the deposits already imply, and presents it as a narrative for user recognition — without fusing a new whole or writing anything. Type: (RecallGranularityInsufficient, AI, ELEVATE, ScatteredDeposits × DepositGraph) → HigherGranularityUnit. Alias: Anagoge(ἀναγωγή).
misuse
Retrospective protocol contract violation detector. Scan past sessions for /ground (Sₐ confabulation) and /induce (stereotype misconflation) contract violations and surface structured violation records for user-constituted review. Use this skill whenever the user asks to 'audit my misuse', 'check protocol misuse', 'scan past invocations', 'misuse history', wants retrospective audit of past /ground or /induce calls, or suspects silent contract violations in prior sessions.
steer
Project profile recalibration via session calibration drift audit. Scan session calibration moves for Constitution overapplication, Extension misapplication, and existing profile drift, present per-cluster evidence for user-constituted verdict, then write an updated user-global or project-local project-profile rule file via Circular Return — and, when a direction has settled, inscribe a citable clause into the Settled Directions registry adjacent to the project Northstar. Use this skill whenever the user wants to 'recalibrate project profile', 'audit calibration drift', 'reinduce Cognitive Partnership Move defaults', 'steer project profile', or invokes /steer. Periagoge family — extends /induce with a writable rule inscription step for ProjectProfile and the Settled Directions registry.
comment-review
Review markdown or HTML artifacts before fixation (publish/commit/deposit/merge) via /inquire × /sublate × /gap × /contextualize through a channel-first browser preview loop. Markdown renders via marked; HTML serves directly through a Shadow DOM. Each round mode is `apply + scan` (apply queued comments now + scan to surface findings into the next round's sidepanel) or `apply` (apply only). User-invoked via /comment-review.
lens-review
One-pass multi-perspective PR review that posts findings as a single consolidated PR comment. /frame derives the review lenses that fit the diff, plus a gap scan, over only the files changed in a PR; each lens analyzes in isolation, then the findings are adversarially cross-verified before the survivors are posted. Composes prothesis:frame and syneidesis:gap. User-invoked via /lens-review.
place
Use when asked "where does this belong", "audit this instruction file", "why does this keep growing", or invokes /place. Read-only audit routing each clause of LLM-facing prose to a destination.
recollect
Resolve vague recall into recognized context through AI-guided contextual scan and user-validated recognition — one session, or the line of work, topic, or settled concept spread across several.
forge
Reference-grounded prompt-artifact formation. Reads a target reference doc, surfaces the under-determined contract coordinates, and projects a ready-to-use prompt or standing skill recipe.
reduced-space-test
Scoped empirical validation. Decomposes a target↔surrogate equivalence claim into facets, bounds a test space, captures evidence inside it, and carries the untested complement forward.
grasp
Verify understanding of a target in play — code, a document, a result — present in context and quotable. Type: (TargetUngrasped, User, VERIFY, Target) → VerifiedUnderstanding
induce
Crystallize a shared but unnamed concept from the concrete cases at hand. Type: (AbstractionInProcess, AI, INDUCE, A) → CrystallizedAbstraction
frame
Multi-perspective framing. Fires when the right framework is absent: places analytical lenses, hands off lens↔substrate pairs. Type: (FrameworkAbsent, AI, DESIGN, Inquiry) → FramedInquiry
sublate
Vet working context by dialectical antithesis before action. Type: (ContextSuspect, User, VET, WorkingContext) → VettedContext
preview
Divergent-discard instantiation. Fires when direction candidates cannot be recognized from descriptions. Type: (DirectionUnrecognizable, Hybrid, PREVIEW, DirectionProspect) → DirectionalContrast
inquire
Infer context insufficiency before execution. Surfaces uncertainties through information-gain prioritized inquiry. Type: (ContextInsufficient, AI, INQUIRE, Prospect) → InformedExecution
ground
Validate structural mapping between abstract and concrete domains. Presents concrete instantiations when mapping uncertainty is detected. Type: (MappingUncertain, AI, GROUND, R) → ValidatedMapping
elicit
Reverse-trace decision coordinates for axis-undetermined intent. Type: (AbstractAporia, Hybrid, REVERSE-INDUCE-CYCLE, IntentSeed × ExternalizedSubstrate) → ResolvedEndpoint
bound
Define epistemic boundaries from a provisional whole map, opening decisions to the depth needed for delegation. Type: (BoundaryUndefined, AI, DEFINE, TaskScope) → DefinedBoundary
contextualize
Detect application-context mismatch after execution. Fires when correct output may not fit the actual context. Type: (ApplicationDecontextualized, AI, CONTEXTUALIZE, Result) → ContextualizedExecution
goal-research
Delegate factual research to a Codex CLI session that uses Codex's builtin `goal` command and invokes Aitesis (`$inquire`) for Tavily-based external verification. User-invoked via /goal-research.
onboard
Quick protocol recommendation from recent sessions, or quest-based learning through scenario, trial, and quiz.
triage
Work-unit triage for GitHub issues. Groups raw issues, fuses each group with the AGENTS.md northstar, and externalizes each routed unit to a substrate record a collaborator session is pointed at.
ideate
Widen an empty or prematurely converged idea field; reads only the invocation. Type: (CandidateFieldUnderexpanded, User, DIVERGE, IdeationRequest) → DiverseCandidateField
conduct
Conduct method before object-level work. Fires when the work needs several moves in non-trivial order. Type: (MethodUnderdetermined, Hybrid, CONDUCT, WorkProspect × MoveGround) → ConductedMethod
gate-check
Advisor-checked decision gates. Freezes a drafted option set, has an independent external advisor rule it genuine / collapsed / malformed, then verifies the cited grounds before it reaches the user.
apportion
Apportion an autonomous goal into execution units carrying their own completion conditions. Type: (GoalPlanUncompiled, User, APPORTION, AutonomousGoal × ExecutionHorizon) → ConditionBearingUnitPlan
sketch
Recognize and revise concrete sketches to discover a form when descriptions cannot settle intent. Type: (FitUnrecognized, Hybrid, SKETCH-RECOGNIZE-CYCLE, FormIntentSeed) → RecognizedForm
route
Route the accumulated session context to the loaded core protocol whose deficit it shows — /route. Invokes the dominant match, nudges when several fit, silent when none, monitors while a gate holds.
gap
Gap surfacing before decisions. Raises procedural, consideration, assumption, and alternative gaps as questions when gaps go unnoticed, producing an audited decision. Type: (GapUnnoticed, AI, SURFACE, Decision) → AuditedDecision. Alias: Syneidesis(συνείδησις).
curses
Discover the structural costs hidden in your strengths through behavioral dimension analysis, strength-shadow extraction, and attitude recommendations.
dashboard
Comprehensive usage analytics and epistemic coverage dashboard across all sessions.
introspect
Deep self-analysis pipeline: collects session/rule/usage data, analyzes across 5 dimensions (strength-shadow + Analogia grounding), produces HTML report. User-invoked via /introspect.
report
Generate Growth Map (epistemic profile + insights integration) from session patterns and workflow data.
sophia
Discover your philosophical tradition through behavioral dimension analysis and philosopher matching.
delimit
Delimit a large body of work into right-sized execution units before its method is conducted. Searches for the cut-set over an external work-breakdown structure such that each unit fits one execution span, every cut falls at a natural joint, and coverage is complete with no work orphaned — then emits a WorkUnitMap that references the WBS without owning it, ready to flow into /conduct. Type: (GranularityUnderdetermined, Hybrid, DELIMIT, ExternalWBS × ExecutionHorizon × ContextLifecycle) → WorkUnitMap. Alias: Diairesis(διαίρεσις).
distill
Certify an existing substrate record's portability for a declared recipient role, repairing resolution gaps and excising drop-released residue in place, and producing a Certificate a fresh consumer can dereference from. Closes deictic, grounding, relevance, provenance, and comprehension gaps against a zero-memory standard; a mandatory reception procedure is the lead the receiver executes first. Type: (ContextTethered, AI, DISTILL, StableRef) → Certificate. Alias: Diylisis(διύλισις).
catalog
Protocol handbook — instant reference for when to use each epistemic protocol.
attend
Compile execution guardrails before autonomous execution. Infers a boundary map from context, partitions risks by velocity, compiles slow/threshold risks into verifiable predicates, and emits coarse goal entries for a downstream completion-predicate enforcer; fast risks are declared out of scope for harness-level gating; a loop-type interval lacking a termination predicate is confirmed before it proceeds unguarded. Stateless: compile-time only, no execution-time state. Type: (ExecutionBlind, User, EVALUATE, ExecutionContext) → SituatedExecution. Alias: Prosoche(προσοχή).
