- **Work agreement:** the user-established outcome, scope, and user-facing return condition. It may include figuring out the approach; it is not a mandatory artifact or another authority source.
|
|
11
|
+
- **Passive observation:** inspecting existing sources or evidence without exercising target behavior or intentionally changing task state.
|
|
12
|
+
- **Active evidence generation:** exercising behavior to produce evidence, including tests, reproductions, benchmarks, prototypes, instrumentation, and runtime probes.
|
|
13
|
+
- **Mutation or delivery:** changing repository, durable task/session, or external state.
|
|
14
|
+
- **Bounded activity:** coherent discussion, preservation, execution, evidence, or judgment ending in one assessable result.
|
|
15
|
+
- **Current owner:** the one activity responsible for that result. Supporting methods, lenses, tools, references, and reviewers do not automatically take ownership.
|
|
16
|
+
- **Slice:** one coherent outcome that may span several bounded activities. Track Work gives it durable identity when task memory is needed.
|
|
17
|
+
- **Evidence boundary:** the strongest claim directly supported by the observing mechanism—not by intent, authority, or confidence.
|
|
18
|
+
- **Self-review:** the producer silently checks an initially supported result for alignment, correctness, suitability, and unnecessary complexity before accepting or reusing it. Corrected work receives only the affected recheck.
|
|
19
|
+
- **Independent review:** separately selected judgment from a context that did not produce the reviewed state. It reports without editing or authorizing correction.
|
|
20
|
+
- **Checkpoint:** a deliberately selected boundary that dependent work must not cross unresolved. An activity ending or pausing does not create one automatically.
|
|
21
|
+
- **Re-entry:** return only to the owner whose responsibility changed, preserving unaffected work, decisions, and evidence.
|
|
22
|
+
- **Supported Exit:** an answer, wait, pause, handoff, deferment, controlled boundary, stop, or completion justified by current evidence and authority.

## Load The Selected Method
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
Before applying a selected skill, read its current body when its exact method is absent from context. Descriptions select methods; they do not replace them. Reuse still-visible guidance instead of rereading each turn.
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
Read dependencies at their declared conditions, not the whole catalogue. Loading guidance neither changes ownership nor authorizes effects. Required reads still follow active capability bootstrap and routing rules.

|
|
30
|
-
|
|
31
|
-
Treat summaries, records, prior skill reads, transition results, and historical messages as memory. They may preserve still-valid context and authority, but they do not create or widen authority, prove live state, keep a method active, or settle current ownership. Current user direction, live source truth, and the latest Freeflow Runtime State take precedence when they conflict.
|
|
32
|
+
After compaction, context-replacing summarization, clear, session resume/navigation, transfer into another context, or uncertain continuity, pause task work. Use only necessary recovery reads until state is coherent; recovery is not a bypass of authority, capabilities, or host permissions.
|
|
32

|
-
|
|
34
|
+
- Require the latest Freeflow Runtime State; do not infer missing or contradictory state.
|

35
|
+
- Reload relevant active capability methods before relying on them.
|
|
36
|
+
- When a Working Record exists or may exist, load Track Work and read the complete `full` record. A summary or `resume` projection is not full recovery. Stop affected work if recovery is incomplete or unavailable.
|
|
37
|
+
- Identify the current owner and reload its method if absent. Use Workflow when authority, ownership, or continuation is unclear.
|
|
38
|
+
- Reconcile the agreement, current work, dependencies, evidence limits, partial effects, and stop conditions with current user direction and relevant live sources.
|
|
34
39
|
|
|
35
|
-
|
|
36
|
-
- Read each relevant active capability skill before relying on or changing that capability.
|
|
37
|
-
- When ongoing work has or may have a Working Record, read Track Work and recover its `resume` view before task work.
|
|
38
|
-
- Identify the current owner. Read Workflow when authority, ownership, route, or continuity is unclear, then read the owner’s skill when its exact method is absent.
|
|
39
|
-
- Recover the current Slice, route or execution boundary, blockers, checkpoints, evidence boundary, partial effects, and stop condition without inventing missing state.
|
|
40
|
-
|
|
41
|
-
Resume only when authority, ownership, current work, route, evidence requirements, and the stop condition are coherent. Otherwise inspect the missing source, ask, defer, or stop.
|
|
40
|
+
Summaries and records may preserve evidence of prior approval; check that the approval still applies. They do not create authority, prove live state, or keep an absent method active. Current user direction, live source truth, and current Runtime State take precedence over conflicting memory. With intact context, use bounded record reads only when needed; another turn or ordinary pause is not context loss.

## Three Nested Loops

The **Interaction Lifecycle** runs from Entry through the Feedback Loop when needed to a Supported Exit. A later user turn or new evidence begins another lifecycle. One lifecycle may contain several bounded activities.

For each bounded activity, the **Feedback Loop** is:

```
|

58
57
|
|
|
59
|
-
|
|
58
|
+
Reuse settled understanding. For concrete work, resolve what is required and how to produce the next result before production changes; these need not be separate investigations or user turns. A learning action answers its bounded question, not an expanding production ambition.
|
|
59
|
+
|
|

|

When the owner needs the environment, the **Environment Interaction Loop** is:

This inner loop may run zero or more times per activity. It does not change authority or ownership.
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
## Evidence And Judgment
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
Verification establishes what direct evidence proves at the observed boundary. Review judges whether work or an artifact is aligned, correct, suitable, and sufficiently evidenced; judgment does not replace verification. A passing check may leave a broader claim unsupported. Preserve missing, contradictory, and inconclusive evidence rather than converting it into success.
|

|
## Workflow Cue
|
|
75
79
|
|
|
76
|
-
Workflow
|
|
80
|
+
Use Workflow when authority, readiness, ownership, re-entry, checkpoints, continuity, or Supported Exit needs coordination. Continue covered work to the agreed return boundary; internal method returns do not end the user agreement.
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
Before an uncovered effect or separately controlled action, explain its purpose, action, expected result, and stop condition; ask once and wait. Skills, artifacts, reviews, memory, and useful new evidence do not grant authority.
|
|
77
83
|
|
|
78
84
|
## Action Selection Cue
|
|
79
85
|
|
|
80
|
-
|
|
86
|
+
Use Action Selection before an uncertain, broad, or repeated environment interaction. Seek the smallest sufficient observation or effect for the current question, bound its output, and return what changed to the owner. Use the fast path for an obvious covered mechanical action; do not manufacture alternatives or collect context after the question is settled.
|
|
81
87
|
|
|
82
88
|
## Supported Exit
|
|
83
89
|
|
|
84
|
-
|
|
90
|
+
Exit only when evidence and authority support it, applicable self-review and selected checkpoints are resolved, and required task memory and artifacts are accurate. Make material gaps, contradictions, deferrals, and user-owned decisions explicit. Report the outcome, evidence, limits, and current route.

Interpret requested intent, not sentence form. A question can request action. Questions, criticism, examples, hypotheses, and tentative ideas do not authorize action by themselves. Treat hypothetical or quoted instructions as discussion unless the user adopts them as a current request. Do not infer execution authority merely because discussion converged.

For execution, establish the outcome, scope, and user-facing return condition. If the request already makes them clear, proceed without redundant confirmation. Otherwise ask only the missing material question and wait before the unsettled action. Use Workflow to coordinate covered execution; do not require the user to supply implementation mechanics.

When a turn combines a question with requested action, answer the question before any action that depends on it. Proceed when that action remains clear, supported, and authorized. If the answer could change the user's choice, exposes a source conflict, or leaves action conditional, explain and wait. An unresolved question does not automatically suspend independent, clearly authorized work.

An environment interaction is a bounded tool-mediated observation or effect. A current activity can need several interactions; a tool call is not a task phase, Slice, or reason to change ownership.

Before touching the environment, identify what this interaction must answer or produce. Reuse evidence already available and current enough for that purpose.

The need may be:

|
|
|
31
|
-
|
|
20
|
+
- understanding the required outcome or reported symptom;
|
|
21
|
+
- establishing the mechanism, dependency, or approach;
|
|
22
|
+
- applying an understood change;
|
|
23
|
+
- observing whether a claim holds;
|
|
24
|

- reconstructing missing continuation state.

Use the

Use these purposes to focus the action, not to print phase labels or restart planning. Ask: what is the minimum sufficient context or effect for this next decision? Minimum means sufficient, not merely short.
|

27
|
|
|
35

Do not collect information because it may be useful later. Do not confuse the existence of a source or reference with having its necessary contents available.

## Take The Fast Path When The Action Is Known
|

40
|
-
- applying an already selected exact edit;
|
|
41
|
-
- running the exact focused check required by the current method;
|
|
42
|
-
- formatting an accepted changed file;
|
|
43
|
-
- inspecting a known diff or generated result.
|
|
32
|
+
Use the direct tool when the target, purpose, scope, and observing boundary are already supported and the action is covered, mechanical, and directly verifiable.
|
|
44
33
|
|
|
45
|
-
|
|
34
|
+
Examples include reading a known function or range, applying an exact selected edit, running an already-chosen focused check, or inspecting its resulting diff.
|
|
46
35
|
|
|
47
|
-
|
|
36
|
+
Do not manufacture alternative tools or repeat the action-selection method for an obvious continuation. A command being easy to run does not make its target or hypothesis well chosen.

## Compare Only Meaningful Alternatives

When the target, observer, or scope is uncertain, likely output is broad, the action is destructive, expensive, or difficult to recover, or recent work has stalled:

1. Identify the fact or effect the current owner needs.
|
|
43
|
+
2. Check whether existing evidence already supplies it.
|
|
44
|
+
3. Consider only a few materially different ways to obtain it.
|
|
45
|
+
4. Reject unchanged rereads, equivalent searches, eliminated approaches, and information without a current use.
|
|
46
|
+
5. Prefer the most direct action that distinguishes the plausible answers.
|
|
47
|
+
6. Among equally useful actions, prefer proportionate output, side effects, context residue, and recovery cost.
|
|
48
|
+
7. Execute the selected action once; choose the next interaction from its actual result.

Keep this comparison internal unless a user-owned choice is exposed. Do not emit candidate tables, numeric scores, simulated results, or a speculative sequence of tool calls.

2. check whether active evidence already answers it;
|

62

3. consider only a few materially different actions—not synonyms of the same search or observer;
|
|
63
|
-
4. reject actions that repeat unchanged evidence, revisit an eliminated path, or gather information without a current question;
|
|
64
|
-
5. prefer the action most directly connected to the question;
|
|
65
|
-
6. among similarly direct actions, prefer one that distinguishes the leading alternatives;
|
|
66
|
-
7. among similarly discriminating actions, prefer the narrowest interaction with proportionate output, side effects, context residue, and recovery cost;
|
|
67
|
-
8. execute only the selected interaction and decide again from reality.
|
|
52
|
+
A good observation can change the owner's belief or next action whether it supports or contradicts the leading explanation. An exact mutation can advance a settled result without testing a new hypothesis.

## Bound The Tool And Its Output
|
|
70
55
|
|
|
71
|
-
|
|
56
|
+
Use the simplest operation that can establish the required relationship:
|
|
72
57
|
|
|
73
|
-
|
|
58
|
+
- known file, symbol, artifact, or range -> focused read or operation;
|
|
59
|
+
- ownership, caller, or dependency question -> structured relationship query where available;
|
|
60
|
+
- literal or generated reference -> bounded content search;
|
|
61
|
+
- behavioral claim -> the owner's selected test, observer, or reproduction;
|
|
62
|
+
- understood effect -> narrow direct mutation;
|
|
63
|
+
- unknown location -> bounded discovery, then narrow from its result.
|
|
74
64
|
|
|
75
|
-
|
|
65
|
+
Choose scope before execution: directory, source kind, pattern, range, test target, time window, result count, fields, affected state, or recovery scope. Exclude unrelated history, generated output, and dependencies unless the current question needs them.
|
|
76
66
|
|
|
77
|
-
|
|
78
|
-
- distinguishes meaningful alternatives;
|
|
79
|
-
- uses the narrowest sufficient observer or effect;
|
|
80
|
-
- avoids unchanged evidence, eliminated paths, and equivalent prior interactions;
|
|
81
|
-
- produces a clear next branch under both favorable and unfavorable results;
|
|
82
|
-
- keeps expected observation volume, context residue, side effects, reversibility, and recovery cost proportionate.
|
|
67
|
+
Use a location or count query before requesting all matching bodies when volume is uncertain. Prefer bounded output with an accessible full result. Truncation or a sampled result must remain explicit; it is not proof that omitted matches are irrelevant or that a search was exhaustive.
|
|
83
68
|
|
|
84
|
-
|
|
69
|
+
Context cost includes instructions, results, repeated material, and the capacity still needed for implementation, checking, correction, and continuation. Use host-supplied usage when available; do not invent token measurements or treat the provider maximum as a promise that a unit will fit.

After the interaction, determine:

94
|
-
-
|
|
95
|
-
-
|
|
96
|
-
- when an exact covered effect has already been selected, use the narrowest direct mutation operation;
|
|
97
|
-
- when the relevant entity is genuinely unknown, use one bounded broad discovery action, then narrow from its result instead of restarting breadth.
|
|
77
|
+
- what actually ran or was returned;
|
|
78
|
+
- what changed in evidence, hypotheses, implementation, or task state;
|
|
79
|
+
- whether the intended question was answered or effect produced;
|
|
80
|
+
- which uncertainty, partial effect, or contradictory observation remains.
|
|
98
81
|
|
|
99
|
-
|
|
82
|
+
New content is not automatically useful evidence. A successful read is not understanding; a successful write is not correctness; a passing tool result is not proof of the wider claim. Return evidence to its owner for interpretation at the required boundary.
|
|
100
83
|
|
|
101
|
-
|
|
84
|
+
When a read settles the question, stop that investigation. Ordinary local continuation may be obvious; an invalidated implementation premise needs reassessment before dependent effects.
|
|
102
85
|
|
|
103
|
-
|
|
86
|
+
If the result did not advance the question, do not repeat it using synonyms, nearby files, a wider equivalent search, or another tool. Change the question or observer, or report the missing evidence.
|
|
104
87
|
|
|
105
|
-
|
|
88
|
+
When two or more recent interactions have not materially changed understanding, advanced the covered effect, or supported a new branch, read [Trajectory Stalls](references/trajectory-stalls.md) before another interaction.

## Return Without Expanding The Work
|
|
108
91
|
|
|
109
|
-
|
|
110
|
-
- what became stronger, weaker, eliminated, contradicted, or still unresolved;
|
|
111
|
-
- whether the interaction answered the current question or produced the intended effect;
|
|
112
|
-
- what next branch, if any, is now supported.
|
|
92
|
+
Return the observation and material state change to the same current owner. Action Selection does not transfer compute profiles, accept an implementation, or create authority.
|

113
93
|
|
|
114
|
-
|
|
94
|
+
When an experiment reveals a new prerequisite, report what it blocks: the current observer, chosen approach, or required outcome. Do not convert a blocked tool or prototype into permission to build a subsystem.
|
|
115
95
|
|
|
116
|
-
|
|
96
|
+
Use [Diagnose Failure](../diagnose-failure/SKILL.md) for unexplained repeated failures. Return changed authority, scope, ownership, direction, evidence boundary, or stop conditions to [Workflow](../workflow/SKILL.md).
|
|
117
97
|
|
|
118
|
-
|
|
98
|
+
Stop when the immediate need is satisfied, the active contract requires return, no useful covered interaction remains, or another activity must settle the next choice. Reuse adequate evidence instead of generating new calls to justify completion.
|
|

## Return To The Current Owner
|
|
123
|
-
|
|
124
|
-
Return the observation and its material state change to the activity that requested it. Action Selection does not interpret another method’s final claim or return directly to a compute profile.
|
|
125
|
-
|
|
126
|
-
When an active execution contract exists, stop when its return condition is met. Do not reinterpret or expand the contract to keep interacting.
|
|
127
|
-
|
|
128
|
-
Return to [Workflow](../workflow/SKILL.md) when the result changes authority, accepted scope, current ownership, accepted direction, the required observing boundary, or stop conditions.
|
|
129
|
-
|
|
130
|
-
Use [Diagnose Failure](../diagnose-failure/SKILL.md) when repeated failure remains unexplained rather than selecting another speculative interaction.
|
|
131
|
-
|
|
132
|
-
Stop when:
|
|
133
|
-
|
|
134
|
-
- one next action is sufficiently supported;
|
|
135
|
-
- the requested effect was produced;
|
|
136
|
-
- no covered interaction can reduce the important uncertainty;
|
|
137
|
-
- the active execution contract requires return;
|
|
138
|
-
- another activity now owns the problem.
|

The objective is not fewer tool calls at any cost. It is fewer low-value interactions while preserving supported outcomes.
