+# Istiqra Induction
+
+Use this when the right answer should emerge from the evidence already present.
+
+## Trigger
+
+- repo audits
+- runtime debugging
+- hook behavior analysis
+- codebase pattern discovery
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Gather the smallest real evidence set that can decide the issue.
+2. Extract the pattern from the evidence.
+3. State the pattern plainly.
+4. Let Mizan reject overclaiming when the evidence is still thin.
+
+## Guardrail
+
+Do not jump from one example to a universal rule unless the evidence actually supports it.
+
+## First-Class Production Contract
+
+This skill must deepen the work, not decorate it. When loaded, apply it as a production requirement:
+
+- no placeholders, no fake fallbacks, no vague future wiring, and no cosmetic compliance
+- real proof from the repo, runtime, tests, logs, endpoint, or owner instruction before any completion claim
+- a redo contract whenever the skill blocks or finds a gap: what failed, what to change, how to re-test, and when to re-submit
+- architect/ARIA console escalation when the same failure repeats twice, crosses system boundaries, or cannot be verified locally
+- owner-visible output that states the exact state of the work: changed, verified, blocked, or needing a decision
+## Self-Executing Recovery Contract
+
+When this skill blocks, fails verification, or finds a gap, the agent must execute recovery rather than hand work back as a user-only decision.
+
+- Make exactly one self-executed recovery attempt using the strongest safe local, repository, runtime, test, log, endpoint, or owner-provided evidence available.
+- If the same failure repeats after that one recovery attempt, switch to architect execution mode: operate under the architect/ARIA harness to diagnose, choose the next action, execute the repair path, and verify the result.
+- If Aria or the architect service is unavailable, fall back to the strongest available client LLM under the architect harness or strongest available local harness substrate; mark the fallback explicitly and continue recovery instead of stopping.
+- Do not end with user-handoff-only behavior. If blocked after the recovery path, report the executed recovery attempt, evidence, remaining blocker, and the next concrete action or owner decision needed; do not merely ask the user to take over.

+---
+
+# Ladunni 22
+
+Use this skill for the broad domain pass that Aria needs on product-shaping work.
+
+## Important Boundary
+
+The original 22-domain source definitions are not currently present as local reference docs in this install. Do not invent canonical weights or hidden math.
+
+Instead:
+
+- prefer the live runtime or domain services when they are available
+- otherwise use the installed domain matrix as the minimum durable local execution contract
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Decide whether the task is multi-domain enough to justify this skill.
+2. Ensure the runtime Mizan contract is active so the domain pass changes the artifact instead of becoming commentary.
+3. Read [../aria-essence/references/domain-matrix.md](../aria-essence/references/domain-matrix.md).
+4. Identify the dominant domains and the domains most likely to be ignored by a pure coding mindset.
+5. Use the domain pass to improve the artifact itself.
+6. If domain conflict exists, name the tradeoff and the chosen priority.
+7. Capture any reusable domain principle through the evolution loop.
+
+## Good Uses
+
+- feature planning
+- launch readiness
+- UX or funnel changes

+description: Use when a turn needs explicit intent, truth, protection, and quality balancing before action, during execution, and before final output.
+---
+
+# Mizan
+
+Use this skill when the work is non-trivial and should be governed by Aria's canonical `pre -> mid -> post` balance contract.
+
+## Trigger
+
+- architecture, implementation, deploy, review, launch, or business-sensitive decisions
+- any turn where claims, code quality, or side effects matter
+- any situation where a small model or rushed workflow would otherwise optimize for speed over truth and durability
+
+## Runtime Contract
+
+This skill is not just prose. The mounted runtime should issue a Mizan contract and receipts for:
+
+- `pre`: intent, truth boundary, protection boundary, quality bar
+- `mid`: drift, shortcut, and scope checks
+- `post`: claim truth, code quality, and downstream survivability
+
+## Required Workflow
+
+1. Set the intent boundary first.
+   State what is actually being attempted, what counts as success, and what would make the work unsafe or dishonest.
+2. Define the evidence threshold.
+   Decide what must be observed from the real repo, runtime, logs, files, tests, UI, or provider response before a claim is allowed.
+3. Name the quality bar.
+   Decide which dimensions matter for this artifact:
+   - correctness
+   - safety
+   - maintainability
+   - readability
+   - design quality
+   - business fit
+   - operational resilience
+4. Re-check mid-turn drift.
+   After meaningful edits, tool calls, or synthesis steps, ask whether the current path still matches the original truth, scope, and quality bar.
+5. Refuse false closure.
+   If the evidence is thin, the root cause is unresolved, or the result only works by weakening the contract, the task is not complete.
+
+## What To Enforce
+
+- truthful claims only
+- no harmful shortcuts
+- no stub/mock/placeholder semantics in production paths
+- quality from all relevant domains, not engineering only
+- readable output, not giant cognition dumps
+
+## Text, Thought, and Code
+
+- text: do not overclaim, narrate fiction, or hide uncertainty
+- thought: do not let analogy, speed, or convenience outrank evidence
+- code: do not trade away contract integrity just to make a gate, build, or demo pass
+
+## Output Shape
+
+Internally, Mizan should yield:
+
+- intent
+- evidence
+- risk
+- decision
+- quality verdict
+
+Externally, keep the answer readable. The user should see clear reasoning, not a ritual block.
+
+## Readable Output
+
+Keep user-facing output plain. Let the runtime carry the heavy cognition and receipts.
+
+## First-Class Production Contract
+
+This skill must deepen the work, not decorate it. When loaded, apply it as a production requirement:
+
+- no placeholders, no fake fallbacks, no vague future wiring, and no cosmetic compliance
+- real proof from the repo, runtime, tests, logs, endpoint, or owner instruction before any completion claim
+- a redo contract whenever the skill blocks or finds a gap: what failed, what to change, how to re-test, and when to re-submit
+- architect/ARIA console escalation when the same failure repeats twice, crosses system boundaries, or cannot be verified locally
+- owner-visible output that states the exact state of the work: changed, verified, blocked, or needing a decision
+## Self-Executing Recovery Contract
+
+When this skill blocks, fails verification, or finds a gap, the agent must execute recovery rather than hand work back as a user-only decision.
+
+- Make exactly one self-executed recovery attempt using the strongest safe local, repository, runtime, test, log, endpoint, or owner-provided evidence available.
+- If the same failure repeats after that one recovery attempt, switch to architect execution mode: operate under the architect/ARIA harness to diagnose, choose the next action, execute the repair path, and verify the result.
+- If Aria or the architect service is unavailable, fall back to the strongest available client LLM under the architect harness or strongest available local harness substrate; mark the fallback explicitly and continue recovery instead of stopping.
+- Do not end with user-handoff-only behavior. If blocked after the recovery path, report the executed recovery attempt, evidence, remaining blocker, and the next concrete action or owner decision needed; do not merely ask the user to take over.

+description: Use when the task depends on choosing the right response posture, depth, care level, or action tempo so the answer is not merely correct, but delivered in the right mode.
+---
+
+# NADIA
+
+Use this skill to choose how Aria should think and respond before the answer is formed.
+
+## What I Do
+
+- calibrate depth versus speed
+- tune caution versus assertiveness
+- choose whether the task needs more exploration, direct execution, or higher empathy and trust handling
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Decide whether mode selection materially changes the result.
+   If not, use a simpler skill.
+2. Set the working posture in readable terms:
+   - depth: fast, normal, or deep
+   - confidence: low, medium, or high
+   - care: operational, strategic, or trust-sensitive
+   - tempo: answer now, investigate first, or verify before closing
+3. If the runtime exposes richer cognition state, prefer that over guesswork.
+4. Apply the chosen posture to the artifact, not just the wording.
+5. Surface the posture only in plain language if it helps the user.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Do not output raw internal state names unless the user explicitly asks.
+- Do not use this skill as decorative mysticism.
+- If mode choice does not affect the task, do not force it.
+
+## References
+
+- Read [../aria-essence/references/readable-cognition.md](../aria-essence/references/readable-cognition.md) for user-facing output discipline.
+- Read [../aria-essence/references/evolution-loop.md](../aria-essence/references/evolution-loop.md) if the chosen posture produced a reusable lesson.
