arbitratelisted

Run **rule arbitration** in file mode over the cycle directory given in `$ARGUMENTS`. First, locate this plugin's installed root (the directory whose `skills/` folder contains this skill) and read `docs/arbitrate-prompt.md` there. That file is the authoritative procedure — every step, gate, scoring rule, and output block defined between its "PROMPT — copy from here" and "copy to here" markers applies verbatim, with only the input/output substitutions below. **Input substitutions.** Instead of pasted `<<< >>>` blocks, read these files from the cycle directory (`$ARGUMENTS`): | paste block | file | |---|---| | K-list | `k-list.md` | | rule-drift verdicts | `rule-drift.md` | | claim-audit report | `claim-audit.md` | | ambiguity-preempt report | `ambiguity-preempt.md` | | friction-audit report | `friction-audit.md` | | praise-miner report | `praise-miner.md` | | prior backlog | `backlog-prior.md` (`NONE` on a first cycle) | | permanent exclusions + parameters | `params.md` | A missing file is the file-mode equivalent of an untouched placeholder: name it and stop — do not substitute chat history, memory, or guesses. A file containing only `NONE` is a valid empty input. `params.md` holds the analysis window, caps, threshold, floor, and the permanent-exclusion list; defaults from the procedure apply to anything it omits. **Output substitutions.** Write the five output blocks as files in the cycle directory — `audit.md`, `selected.md`, `backlog.md`, `rejected.md`, `handoff.md` —
