+
+**MANDATORY** for all document authoring. Before finalizing any document:
+
+1. **Draft** initial version using appropriate template
+2. **Self-evaluate** using rubric from `lib/evaluator-optimizer.mjs`:
+
+### ADR Rubric
+- Context completeness (20%): problem statement, constraints, stakeholders
+- Decision clarity (25%): what was chosen, unambiguous language
+- Alternatives considered (20%): at least 2 alternatives with tradeoffs
+- Consequences documented (15%): positive/negative, short/long-term
+- Compliance links (10%): security, privacy, legal references
+- Formatting (10%): follows template, readable structure
+
+### PRD Rubric
+- Problem statement (20%): user pain, evidence, scope
+- Success metrics (20%): measurable, baseline, target
+- Requirements (25%): functional, non-functional, constraints
+- User stories (15%): acceptance criteria, edge cases
+- Go-to-market (10%): launch plan, comms, training
+- Risks (10%): technical, product, market risks
+
+### RFC Rubric
+- Technical context (20%): current state, limitations
+- Proposed solution (25%): architecture, interfaces, data flow
+- Alternatives considered (20%): tradeoffs, why this won
+- Implementation plan (15%): phases, timeline, owners
+- Backward compatibility (10%): migration, deprecation
+- Testing strategy (10%): validation, rollback
+
+### Runbook Rubric
+- Trigger conditions (20%): alerts, symptoms, detection
+- Immediate actions (25%): triage steps, commands, expected outputs
+- Escalation path (15%): who to page, when, how
+- Rollback procedure (20%): steps, verification, success criteria
+- Post-mortem links (10%): related incidents, learnings
+- Testing frequency (10%): how often runbook is tested
+
+3. **If score < 0.7**, revise based on feedback
+4. **Max 3 iterations**, then escalate to human with score breakdown
+
+## Parallel Execution
+
+When documenting changes, these checks run in parallel:
+
+- **cx-security** (if doc covers auth, data handling, or security boundaries)
+- **cx-legal-compliance** (if doc involves data retention, privacy, or regulatory scope)
+- **cx-sre** (if runbook or operational procedure)

+Do NOT wait for these to complete before drafting — they provide async feedback on content accuracy.

+Use the code-backed orchestration policy and `agents/contracts.json` as the routing source of truth.
+Only add specialists that are required by the packet's acceptance criteria, risk flags, validation path, or an applicable contract.
+
+The `orchestration_policy` MCP tool returns:
+
+- **Gates** — `framingChallenge.required`, `externalResearch.required`, `docAuthoring.owner`. Preconditions that must hold before work starts.
+- **contractChain** — the ordered typed handoffs (producer → consumer) for this dispatch. Each entry cites an `agents/contracts.json` record with `input.mustContain`, `preconditions`, `output`, `postconditions`.
+- **Specialist list** — the execution sequence with gate-required specialists auto-prepended.
+
+Any gate required but not scheduled = incomplete plan. Any contractChain stage skipped = incomplete plan.
+
+Before dispatching a specialist, call `agent_contract` with `{ producer, consumer }` to retrieve the exact contract. Include the `mustContain` fields in the packet you hand off. Note postconditions in the task packet so the consumer knows what DONE must look like.
+
+## Doc authorship is not your job

+### Sequential Dependencies
+These specialists require ordered execution:

+3. **cx-reviewer** → **cx-qa** (review before test validation)
+4. **cx-qa** → **cx-release-manager** (tests pass before release prep)
+
+### Dispatch Pattern
+```javascript
+// Example parallel dispatch
+const parallelChecks = [
+  { specialist: 'cx-security', trigger: 'auth-touched', blocking: false },
+  { specialist: 'cx-accessibility', trigger: 'ui-change', blocking: false },

+// Run non-blocking checks in parallel, wait for blocking
