-# What stays resident, and how much — `SKILL.md` §3's body
-
-**This is `SKILL.md` → §3's body, and it is read when a rule is being placed, moved or retired — not
-at any entry** (joshuafolkken/kit#1797, joshuafolkken/kit#2161). **Nothing in a run reaches it.** The
-moment it binds is a turn spent editing `CLAUDE.md` or one of these documents, which is why it costs a
-workflow entry nothing to leave it here. `SKILL.md` → §3 keeps the heading and points here; the
-questions that decide *whether* a rule stays now live below, alongside the procedure that decides *how
-much* of it does. The `rule:value` readings this file used to carry no longer gate reduction — that
-gating was retracted on 2026-09-13 (joshuafolkken/kit#1931 → `## Decisions`) and they are retained
-below only as history.
-
-## Whether a rule stays
-
-**Before either question below, ask question 0:** `prompts/collaboration-workflow/residency.md` → question 0 — can the rule's answer be computed from mechanically readable inputs alone? If yes, it is a decision oracle and neither question below applies; `pnpm josh oracle:list` shows the existing ones. Only a no reaches the ordering question.
-
-**Then ask the ordering question:** `prompts/collaboration-workflow/residency.md` → ordering question — does the rule decide *when or in what order* to act rather than *what*? If so it belongs in the run driver's state transitions (`pnpm josh run:step`, `scripts/run/run-step.ts`), not either channel below. Only a rule that decides *what* reaches the first question.
-
-**The first question is whether the rule's trigger can be named:**
-
-> **Can the moment the rule begins to bind be named as one tool call?**
-
-**A rule whose trigger can be named moves its body out of `CLAUDE.md`.** It goes on the enumeration in
-`prompts/collaboration-workflow/rule-delivery.md`, and a hook refuses that call and states the rule —
-cheaper than resident prose, because it costs nothing on every other turn, and **stronger, because a
-refusal cannot be skimmed past**. **Relocating is not deleting** — the rule's text survives, on a
-stronger channel.
-
-**What stays behind is the trigger and the criterion, one line, because the channel reaches one
-harness.** `CLAUDE.md` is agent-agnostic by construction — `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md` and `.cursorrules`
-are pointers to it, and a Codex, Gemini or Cursor session runs no `.claude/settings.json` hook at all;
-so does a Claude Code session with the guard's own off-switch set. **The gain is the body, not the
-line.** A rule may leave residency entirely only where the agent that has to obey it is always this
-harness.
-
-Only a rule whose trigger cannot be named reaches the second question:
-
-**A rule stays in `CLAUDE.md` if and only if it has to fire on a turn where no skill was loaded.** That
-test has exactly one input: when does the rule first bind — before a command has started, or after.
-Everything a run reaches only *after* it has read this skill is routed to from `CLAUDE.md`, never
-restated there.
-
-`CLAUDE.md` is the only document this section is about. `AGENTS.md` and `GEMINI.md` hold no rules at
-all — they are pointers to it.
-
-### The second question: how much of a resident rule is resident
-
-The criterion above decides **whether** a rule stays. It says nothing about **how much of it** stays,
-and for a long time nothing did — so a rule that passed arrived with its whole procedure attached,
-and `CLAUDE.md` grew back to within 585 bytes of its ceiling with the procedures already moved out
-(joshuafolkken/kit#964).
-
-**A resident rule is written as its trigger plus a pointer.** Two things and no third:
-
-1. **The trigger** — the situation that fires it, and the one instruction that must be obeyed before
-   anything else is read. Written so an agent that reads nothing further still does the safe thing:
-   stops, files, refuses, asks.
-2. **The pointer** — the topic file under `prompts/collaboration-workflow/` or the skill file that holds
-   the procedure, named exactly enough to open without searching.
-
-Everything else — the steps, the worked examples, the rationale, the failure it was written after —
-belongs at the pointer. **The test is whether the resident text still produces correct behavior on a
-turn where the pointer is never opened.** If dropping a sentence would let an agent proceed wrongly
-rather than merely proceed less well informed, that sentence is part of the trigger. If dropping it
-only costs context, it belongs at the pointer.
-
-**Trimming is moving, and deleting is the exception that has to be earned.** Before a sentence leaves
-`CLAUDE.md` it has to exist at the pointer, and the marker suite that pinned it has to be re-pointed
-there rather than dropped. A canonical section that is thinner than the resident copy is the normal
-case, not a reason to delete — the resident text is then the fuller version, and it is moved in
-before it is cut out.
-
-**A system that can only move eventually jams, so one route out exists — and it is narrow**
-(joshuafolkken/kit#1525). A rule is *retired* rather than moved only where deleting it cannot change
-what any agent does, and that has to be shown rather than argued:
-
-1. **It is a clone of text that has a declared single source**, and the source is named in the same
-   document. Where the two differ the copy is the wrong one, so nothing can correctly depend on it.
-2. **It carries no sentence that exists nowhere else** — checked against the source it duplicates,
-   not against a memory of it.
-3. **No marker suite pins it**, so no assertion is being dropped along with it.
-
-**"It looks redundant" satisfies none of the three, and a rule with a firing test, a marker, or a
-measured effect is not a candidate at all.** Every rule in these documents was written after a
-specific failure; one that changes nothing today may simply be one whose failure has not recurred
-*because it is there*. When the three do not all hold, the finding is recorded as a candidate with
-its evidence and left standing — a listed candidate costs nothing and can be taken up later, while a
-wrongly deleted rule fails silently, months later, in a run nobody is watching.
-
-**The scope of this list is every resident rule that has an on-demand counterpart** — a skill or an
-on-demand prompt carrying the procedure the resident text routes to. Those are the rules the
-criterion is *about*: each one could have moved, and stayed for a reason worth naming. Within that
-scope the list is exhaustive, and a rule with a counterpart that is resident without appearing here
-has not been checked.
-
-Counting by skill would draw the line in the wrong place — `verify-ui` is routed to as readily as
-this skill is, and one entry below routes to `prompts/review.md`, which is not a skill at all.
-
-Outside the scope the documents carry a great deal more — the naming conventions, the quality
-limits, the code-change rules, Package-First. **None of that belongs on this list**: there is no
-on-demand copy for them to have moved to, so the question the criterion asks does not arise, and
-their absence here is correct rather than an omission (joshuafolkken/kit#955).
-
-Within that scope, every rule that passes the test is resident in full, and a marker suite asserts
-each one present in `CLAUDE.md` — `scripts/claude/workflow-skills.test.ts` for most of them,
-`scripts/claude/verify-ui-skill.test.ts` for the UI gate,
-`scripts/document/document-markers.test.ts` for the follow-up filing step, and
-`scripts/document/document-markers.test.ts` for the file-editing prohibition. **A trigger-delivered rule
-is pinned differently** — by what its refusal says and by the trigger firing, in
-`scripts/rules/turn-batching-rule.test.ts`, `scripts/backlog/backlog-manufacturing-rule.test.ts` and
-`scripts/rules/delivered-rules.test.ts`, with only its one-line trigger asserted resident:
-
-- **Explicit invocation required** — it decides whether a workflow starts at all, so it binds on the
-  turn the user types the keyword, which is before anything here has been read.
-- **The mid-workflow stop notification** — most pauses that need it (an upstream-Issue interrupt, a
-  Tier C confirmation) happen on turns carrying no workflow keyword at all.
-- **The `overrides` prohibition** and **the `devEngines` prohibition** — a dependency command can be
-  run on any turn, including one that never loads `dependency-update`, and by the time the skill
-  would be read the pin has already been rewritten.
-- **The follow-up filing step after the review round cap** — filing the Issue and bundling it into an
-  epic. A pre-commit self-review runs outside any workflow as readily as inside one, and the Issue it
-  files is orphaned just the same; the step has to be readable on a turn that never typed a keyword.
-  Its full form is in `prompts/review.md` → "Review round cap" (joshuafolkken/kit#946).
-- **The UI-verification gate** — a rendered change is not done until the screen has been looked at,
-  and the procedure for capturing it is `verify-ui`. The gate binds whenever a UI change is reported
-  finished, which is routinely a turn with no workflow keyword typed and no skill loaded.
-- **The three `josh epic:*` rules that bind outside those commands** — recording a decision removes
-  that child's `needs-decision` label, fixing what `epic:audit` finds is Tier A, and an epic in
-  another repository is referenced as `owner/repo#N`. Each fires on a turn where no `epic:*` command
-  was run: the moment an issue is filed, or a decision written. The commands' own procedures are in
-  `.claude/skills/epic-commands/`, which is where everything else about them lives.
-- **The prohibition on carrying a file's new text inside a shell command** — an edit happens on any
-  turn at all, and there is no skill that a run loads *before* editing. Placed on demand, this one
-  rule would never fire once, which reads exactly like having deleted it. The measured cost, the
-  allowed/prohibited table and the reasoning are at
-  `prompts/collaboration-workflow/file-edits.md`; what stays resident is the instruction and the
-  criterion that decides it — whether the command carries the replacement wholesale, not which tool
-  was used (joshuafolkken/kit#1150). **The same criterion binds the Edit itself**: rewriting a whole
-  file to fix the three lines a review named carries the replacement wholesale exactly as a heredoc
-  does, so the resident instruction covers it in one clause and the three cases that justify writing
-  a file whole stay at the pointer (joshuafolkken/kit#1260).
-
-**These left this list at the first question, and are delivered by a hook instead**
-(joshuafolkken/kit#1524). None lost a sentence; each is pinned by the firing test named beside it
-rather than by a residency marker, and `prompts/collaboration-workflow/rule-delivery.md` is the
-enumeration and the single source of what a turn where the trigger does not fire means. **The four
-described below are not the whole set** — the enumeration has grown to nine rows, of which
-`scripts/rules/delivered-rules.ts` carries seven and two are their own binaries. The count that used to
-open this paragraph said `Four` and had been wrong since the fifth row landed, which is what a
-restated count does; it is gone rather than corrected, because a number kept in two places drifts
-again (joshuafolkken/kit#1525).
-
-- **The instruction to put independent calls in one turn** — `pnpm josh batch:guard` refuses the
-  `Bash`, `Edit` or `Read` call that would make a third consecutive single-call turn, and states the criterion
-  there. **`Edit` joined `Bash` in joshuafolkken/kit#1762, and `Read` in joshuafolkken/kit#1798**, because edits carry most of the recoverable
-  round trips and the guard could not reach one of them, and because a cluster holding one `Read` was breaking the wiring rather than the count.
-  It was resident through every run the topic file measures, and moved none of them, so what the
-  relocation gave up is prose that was not being obeyed
-  (`prompts/collaboration-workflow/turn-batching.md`, `scripts/rules/turn-batching-rule.test.ts`).
-- **The backlog WIP cap** — `pnpm josh rule:guard` refuses the `Bash` call that files an Issue
-  (`gh issue create`, or a `title`-bearing POST to `…/issues`) and delivers the count, the refusal,
-  both exemptions and the three tests that decide the interrupt one — the three kept whole, because a
-  delivery saying only "an interrupt is exempt" hands the deciding back to judgement
-  (joshuafolkken/kit#1518). A comment endpoint is not a filing and is left alone
-  (`prompts/collaboration-workflow/wip-cap.md`, `scripts/backlog/backlog-manufacturing-rule.test.ts`).
-- **The Issue's comments** — `pnpm josh rule:guard` refuses the `Bash` call that reads an Issue's
-  body without them (`gh issue view <N>`, or a `GET` of a path ending `…/issues/<N>`) and hands over
-  the reissue that carries them plus the rule for a comment that contradicts the body. It is the one
-  row whose trigger `batch:guard` also considers, yet it refuses on that guard's turn too, since it
-  repeats until the comments are read. §2g is the procedure and stays here, because a session that runs no hooks still
-  owes the read (`prompts/collaboration-workflow/rule-delivery.md`,
-  `scripts/rules/delivered-rules.test.ts`).
-- **The prohibition on putting a body inside shell double quotes** — `pnpm josh rule:guard` refuses
-  the `Bash` call whose inline body value carries a backtick or a `$`, the two characters this
-  harness's zsh was measured to evaluate there, and hands back the path-shaped spellings
-  (`--body-file`, `--field body=@<path>`, `--notify-message-file`). **The trigger reads the body, not
-  the flag**: every worked example in these documents passes a placeholder, which is inert, so keying
-  on the flag would refuse the turns where the rule is already kept. It is also the one row whose
-  trigger deliberately overlaps another — a filing whose body carries a backtick is `wip-cap`'s
-  first, and this one's on the reissue. A one-line trigger stays resident because a hook reaches
-  Claude Code alone (`prompts/collaboration-workflow/shell-body.md`,
-  `scripts/rules/shell-body-rule.test.ts`, joshuafolkken/kit#1198).
-
-These do not pass it, and live in a skill instead: the split assessment (`split-assessment.md`), a
-prerequisite discovered mid-run (§2d, with each entry's branch in
-`fullrun.md` / `halfrun.md` / `backlogrun.md`), a named `backlogrun` item's acceptance
-of an Issue that is not an epic and its park-and-continue behavior (`backlogrun.md`), the whole
-verification gate and merge chain (`chain-rule.md` / `followup.md`), and the post-update verification
-procedure (`.claude/skills/dependency-update/`) that the two prohibitions above route to.
-
-The `auto-ok` pickup and its "only a person applies the label" rule (`backlogrun.md`) are the borderline
-case worth naming, because a prohibition on writing usually *is* resident. It is not, and the reason
-is that `auto-ok` exists nowhere but the documents that also forbid an agent applying it: a turn that
-opens none of them is a turn on which the label is never reached, so residency would buy nothing.
-
-**The criterion is not advisory.** `scripts/claude/workflow-skills.test.ts` caps each document at
-`RESIDENT_CEILING_BYTES` and requires headroom under it, so a procedure restated resident costs
-budget that the next genuinely-resident rule then has to take back out of existing prose.
-
-**The freeze on reducing resident text was lifted on 2026-09-13** (joshuafolkken/kit#1931 →
-`## Decisions`, carried out in joshuafolkken/kit#1924). Until then `rule:value` was read as a
-gate on reduction: three successive readings each retired nothing, and `CLAUDE.md` stayed at ~56 KB
-while its duplicated procedure bodies — the completion gate, the pre-commit self-review, the Step 0
-report format, the upstream-interrupt procedure — sat resident beside pointers that already held them.
-**That gating is retracted.** `rule:value` remains a *measurement* — a low unaided-keep ratio is still
-evidence a resident copy earns its place — but a reading that retires nothing no longer freezes the
-document, and a resident copy whose body is duplicated at a declared pointer is trimmed to its trigger
-under **Trimming is moving** above, without waiting for a reading to license it. **The readings below
-are retained as history of how the gate was applied, not as a live constraint.**
-
-**What leaves when the budget binds is decided by measurement, not by which sentence a marker
-happened to pin** (joshuafolkken/kit#1525). The old order was the reverse: a rule edited to keep a
-byte count lost whichever neighboring sentence was not pinned by a marker, so the least-defended
-text went rather than the least-useful one, and the bias grew with every rule added
-(joshuafolkken/kit#951). `rule:value` replaces that with a reading — over this checkout's
-recorded sessions it reports, per trigger-delivered rule, how often the run had already kept the rule
-at the moment the trigger fired. **That window is the rule's absence**, because the hook has said
-nothing yet and only the carried text is asking; the ratio is what the carried text earns unaided.
-
-**The first reading refused the deletion it was built to justify, which is why the measurement runs
-first.** Over 220 recorded runs the WIP cap — which keeps a resident copy — was kept unaided in 55% of
-the runs that reached it, while the Issue-comments rule, which has **no** resident copy, managed
-15%. The resident text was the obvious candidate on a reading of the prose, since the refusal repeats
-it almost word for word; the number says it is doing a great deal of work and must stay.
-
-**The second reading covers every rule, and it found no candidate either** (joshuafolkken/kit#1643).
-The first reading could score only two rows, so nobody could tell whether the candidates were
-exhausted or merely unmeasured. All six now declare a compliance test, and over 225 recorded runs they
-read: `shell-body` 81%, `early-heartbeat` 67%, `wip-cap` 57%, `issue-comments` 15%,
-`piped-verification` 13%, `run-tail` 4%. **The two rules that keep a resident copy are the two at the
-top** — `shell-body` at 81% and `wip-cap` at 57% — and exactly one rule without a copy sits between
-them: `early-heartbeat`, at 67% over **18 runs**, the smallest denominator in the table by a factor of
-five. So the resident copies are earning their place, and **nothing is retired on this reading**. The
-figures move as the corpus grows, so the next run of this question re-reads them rather than quoting
-these.
-
-**The third reading added the row the table had never carried, and it changed no verdict either**
-(joshuafolkken/kit#1792). The batching guard is delivered by a binary of its own, so it sat outside
-the registry `rule:value` read and the most-cited resident rule in the repository had no continuous
-reading at all. Over 297 recorded runs it reads **86% unaided over 276 runs, with 47 refusals** — the
-top of the table, so it too is earning its place and nothing is retired on this reading. **The row is scored on its refusal rather than on a trigger**, because whether a call would
-be refused depends on the turns behind it, which is also where the turn-is-a-message-id correction the
-first reading of the row exposed came from.
-
-**Measuring the four needed a distinction the first reading did not have, and it is the half worth
-carrying forward.** A rule's denominator is the situation it governs, and that is the trigger only
-where the trigger is a *neutral* act — filing an Issue, reading one — which a run keeping the rule
-performs anyway. The other four fire only on the violation: a run that backgrounded every push never
-trips `run-tail`. Scored against the trigger they would all have read near zero, and near zero reads
-as "the carried text earns nothing" — **a manufactured retirement candidate, which is the one outcome
-this measurement exists to prevent**. Such a row declares `reaches` instead, the governed act in
-either spelling.
-
-**The three tests then refused every remaining candidate, and that is the route working rather than
-failing.** The four resident one-liners left behind by trigger delivery all fail test 2: the
-paragraph above records why a line stays behind when the hook reaches one harness, so each carries a
-sentence that exists nowhere else. The duplicate list of delivered rules in
-`prompts/collaboration-workflow/residency.md` looked like a clean test-1 case — a stale summary
-sitting directly beneath a pointer to its own single source — and fails test 3, because
-`scripts/rules/shell-body-rule.test.ts` and `scripts/rules/turn-batching-rule.test.ts` each assert that a
-delivered rule is listed there. **Being pinned is what test 3 is for**: that assertion is the design
-requirement it looks like an accident of. Only the restated count above was retired. **A run that
-finds nothing retirable records the candidates with their evidence and stops there**, rather than
-lowering the bar until a deletion appears. A rule
-scoring `-` has declared no compliance test and is **unmeasured, never zero** — it is not thereby a
-candidate.
-
-**The fourth reading swept the eight mechanization PRs of the reduction epic (joshuafolkken/kit#2117–#2124) and retired nothing, which is again the route working** (joshuafolkken/kit#2125). Each PR that moved a judgement into a command trimmed its own resident prose to trigger-plus-pointer as it landed, so the sweep found no procedure restated in full: the mechanized triggers — the computable-answer question 0 (`oracle:list`), `test:declared`, `issue:scout` and the filing cap, the shell-body guard, `repo:party`, and the fixed-shape linters (`issue:lint` / `report:lint`) — each already resolve to their declared single source (`prompts/collaboration-workflow/residency.md`, `rule-delivery.md`, `wip-cap.md`, `shell-body.md`, `upstream-interrupt.md`, `report-format.md`) rather than carrying the procedure resident. **The one candidate the sweep raised was the `Stop` hook's arrival** (joshuafolkken/kit#2121): the resident `CLAUDE.md` → "Mid-workflow stop notification" section looked like a delivered rule whose copy could shrink to a one-liner, but it fails test 3 — `scripts/document/document-markers.test.ts` pins its heading and `scripts/claude/workflow-skills.test.ts` pins its `notify` command and its `parseArgs` line — and it fails test 2, because `stop-rules.ts`'s `STOP_NOTIFY_REASON` names this very section as the single source the delivered text points at, so trimming it would strand the pointer. The hold-release and issue-citation stop rules introduced no resident duplication at all: their single sources are `SKILL.md` → §2f and `issue-citation.md`, which the hook points to, and the resident issue-citation text was already a one-line trigger. **What the sweep reclaimed was a stale byte-budget record, not prose**: `chain-rule.md` was reduced in joshuafolkken/kit#2078 but its recorded size was never lowered, so the ratchet in `scripts/document/document-byte-budget.ts` was tightened 18,031 → 6,240 to hold that reduction. **The reclamation was only possible because nothing enforced it** — the ratchet's growth guard catches a document that swells past its ceiling but is blind to one that shrinks and leaves its record standing, which is how chain-rule.md's stale-loose entry survived two reduction epics unseen. So a staleness guard was added beside it (`recorded ≤ actual + slack`): an unrecorded shrink now fails `pnpm josh gate` rather than drifting, so the next reduction epic finds nothing stale to reclaim.
