Those are cheap to commit and expensive to find, so the steps below are mechanical rather than advice to be careful. Formatting canon lives in `conventions/references/reference-conventions.md` and is not forked here. **The discipline lives in this skill's `references/`.** ## Sub-actions | `$ARGUMENTS` | Does | |---|---| | *(none)* or a topic | Author or update a module — the full workflow below | | `census` | Run the coverage census only; report gap / phantom / contested | | `census --stale` | Also flag items whose SOURCE moved after their owning module did | | `profile` | Create or update `.context/references/00-profile.md` | | `refute <path>` | Run the adversarial close-gate on an existing module | --- ## 0 · Profile — once per project Read `.context/references/00-profile.md`. **If it does not exist, create it** from `assets/templates/00-profile.md.template` and confirm the axes with the user before continuing. It declares the census commands, the entry-point kinds, the observation instrument and the environment values, and everything downstream reads it. If the stack is unfamiliar, **do not guess the commands** —
