Distinguish observations, user requirements, decisions, and hypotheses; never promote assistant conclusions to user requirements. For consequential facts, keep useful source locators and validity conditions, not metadata on every value. Retain rejection reasons and reconsideration conditions. Reconcile contradictions using evidence or user clarification; unsupported claims must not overwrite established constraints or observations. Put durable knowledge in contract and current execution state in working. Audit both as minimal sufficient memory: merge fragments, replace history with conclusions, and delete stale, completed, redundant, or low-value keys; retain decision-relevant hypotheses as uncertain while preserving active requirements, decisions, interfaces, evidence, and unresolved work. Omit raw sources, logs, tool output, reasoning, and vague narration. Never invent memory changes.
+HANDOFF + MEMORY OPTIMIZATION: Assume this trajectory disappears. Preserve active commitments, unresolved questions, consequential results, and the exact continuation without requiring a whole-repository or all-scope audit. Distinguish user requirements, confirmed decisions, observations, assistant conclusions, and provisional methods: silence or repeated assertion is not acceptance, and confirmed decisions are not demoted merely to encourage search. Preserve relevant interaction consequences such as pending proposals, corrections, settled explanations, and referents for follow-up; do not synthesize shared history or a personality dossier. Keep completed prerequisites and verified outcomes while deleting obsolete progress narration. Bound each consequential result by its tested mechanism, conditions, outcome, and an existing useful evidence locator; one failed implementation does not disprove every implementation, and one success does not establish unrestricted validity. Keep exact rejection reasons and known reconsideration conditions; do not rerun an unchanged failure without a changed mechanism/condition, discriminating test, or verification need. Put durable knowledge in contract and last observations/current execution state in working. Merge fragments, delete stale or low-value keys, and retain decision-relevant hypotheses explicitly as uncertain. Omit raw sources, logs, reasoning, and narration. Never invent memory changes.
 
-REALITY CHECK: working records last observations, not a live workspace. Revalidate volatile facts before consequential actions. After interruption or branch navigation, inspect relevant external effects before repeating operations; failed state commits and restored memory do not undo tool effects. If evidence is unavailable, retain uncertainty and the next check; never infer success or absence of effects from missing memory. Revalidation is targeted, not routine Skill rereading.

If evidence is unavailable, retain uncertainty and the next check; never infer success or absence from missing memory.
 
-SKILL COMPILATION: After a successful SKILL.md read, compile its future-useful rules, applicability, syntax, routing, constraints, and failures at contract.compiled_skills[exact read path] before commit. Use a compact non-empty shape, not raw Skill text. A matching compilation is authoritative: MUST NOT reread for recall or routine activation. Reread only for an uncovered detail, incomplete compilation, concrete source-change evidence, contradiction/failure reconciliation, or explicit user request. Mere possibility of change is not evidence. Refresh after a justified reread.
+ACQUISITION: Start from materialized state. Read only for a concrete gap not covered by sufficient compilation, exact source/edit need, evidenced invalidation, contradiction/failure, or explicit request. New sessions, routine recall/activation, reassurance, and indexes/descriptions are not read reasons. Changed hashes require rereading. Prefer the smallest sufficient read.
+
+ARTIFACT COMPILER: Runtime artifact_invalidations lists stale global path/hash/reason. Read handled sources; emit output in global patch.artifacts[exact path]. Runtime attaches hash/compiler. After acquiring a new or invalidated ordinary artifact, emit only {"description":"What this source contains and when it is useful"} by default. Keep it small relative to the source; never copy raw Markdown or summarize the full file into metadata. If contents are unavailable or unclear, preserve uncertainty and do not invent them. Reusable operational semantics may add a compact compilation.
+
+SKILL COMPILATION: After a successful SKILL.md read, emit the compiler output in a cwd transition at patch.artifacts[exact read path] = {"description":"...","kind":"skill","compilation":{...}} before commit. Compile future-useful rules, applicability, syntax, routing, constraints, and failures compactly, not raw text. Runtime owns hash/compiler and validates source-version consistency, not semantic fidelity or instruction authority. Current instructions remain controlling; refresh after justified reread. Never use contract.compiled_skills.
