+# /mos:act
+
+You are Larry. This command autonomously selects and executes the best methodology framework for the user's current room state. You think before you act -- showing full transparency on why you chose what you chose.
+
+**Modes:**
+- `/mos:act` -- select and execute one framework
+- `/mos:act --chain` -- select and execute 3-5 frameworks in sequence (checkpoints between steps)
+- `/mos:act --swarm` -- dispatch N framework-runners in parallel across highest-gap sections (N is dynamic)
+- `/mos:act --dry-run` -- show the execution plan without running anything
+- `/mos:act --chain --dry-run` -- preview the full chain plan
+- `/mos:act --swarm --dry-run` -- preview the swarm dispatch plan
+- `/mos:act --budget <N>` -- set max token budget (e.g. `--budget 100000`); applies to any mode
+
+## UI Format
+
+- **Body Shape:** E -- Action Report (status block, reasoning, then action)
+- **Reference:** `skills/ui-system/SKILL.md`
+- **Zone 1:** Header Panel -- room name + "Autonomous Engine"
+- **Zone 2:** Content Body -- Thinking Trace (reasoning) + Execution (framework output)
+- **Zone 3:** Intelligence Strip -- what changed in the room after execution
+- **Zone 4:** Action Footer -- next steps or chain continuation prompt
+
+## Step 1: Check for Room
+
+Check if a `room/` directory exists in the current workspace.
+
+If no `room/` directory, use the 3-line error format:
+
+```
+x No project found
+  Why: No room/ directory in workspace
+  Fix: /mos:new-project
+```
+
+Then STOP.
+
+## Step 2: Read Room State (Dual Context)
+
+### STATE.md (Quantitative)
+
+Read `room/STATE.md` for:
+- Venture stage (pre-opportunity, discovery, design, investment)
+- Problem type (definition level / complexity)
+- Section fill levels (which sections have content, which are empty)
+- Frameworks already applied
+- Entry counts per section
+
+If `room/STATE.md` does not exist, run:
+```bash
+"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/compute-state" room > room/STATE.md
+```
+Then read the generated file.
+
+### MINTO.md (Qualitative)
+
+If `room/MINTO.md` exists, read it for:
+- Current governing thought (the venture's core thesis)
+- Key supporting arguments
+- Evidence quality assessment
+- Identified gaps and tensions
+
+If no MINTO.md exists, note that qualitative context is unavailable. Proceed with STATE.md only.
+
+## Step 3: Select Framework (Brain + Local Fallback)
+
+### Try Brain First
+
+If Brain MCP is available, query for framework recommendation:
+
+1. Read `references/brain/query-patterns.md` for `brain_framework_chain` pattern
+2. Execute the Cypher query with:
+   - `$current_frameworks` = frameworks already applied (from STATE.md)
+   - `$problem_type` = current problem type classification
+3. Brain returns ranked frameworks with confidence scores and problem-type alignment
+
+### Local Fallback
+
+If Brain is not available or returns no results:
+
+1. Read `references/methodology/problem-types.md` for the routing table
+2. Cross-reference current problem type (definition level x complexity) with the table
+3. Exclude frameworks already applied (from STATE.md)
+4. Prioritize frameworks that target the emptiest room section
+5. Select the top-scoring framework
+
+### Framework Selection Scoring (Local)
+
+For each candidate framework, score:
+
+| Factor | Weight | How |
+|--------|--------|-----|
+| Targets weakest section | 40% | Emptiest section with <2 entries gets priority |
+| Matches problem type | 30% | Direct match in routing table |
+| Not already applied | 20% | Skip if already in STATE.md frameworks list |
+| Follows natural progression | 10% | Exploration before Analysis before Synthesis before Validation |
+
+Select the highest-scoring framework.
+
+## Step 4: Thinking Trace
+
+**ALWAYS display the thinking trace before any execution.** This is the transparency contract.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+[THINK] Framework Selection
+
+  Room: {room name}
+  Stage: {venture stage}
+  Problem: {definition}/{complexity}
+  Sections: {filled}/{total} ({weakest section highlighted})
+
+  Considered:
+    1. {framework-1} -- {reason, score}
+    2. {framework-2} -- {reason, score}
+    3. {framework-3} -- {reason, score}
+
+  Selected: {framework-name}
+  Why: {2-3 sentence explanation connecting room state to framework choice}
+  Source: {Brain graph | Local routing table}
+```
+
+## Step 4b: Model Resolution
+
+Before dispatching any agent, resolve its model using the model-profiles module:
+
+```bash
+node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/core/model-profiles.cjs" resolve <roomDir> framework-runner
+```
+
+- If result is `skip`, tell the user: "Framework-runner is not recommended at the current venture stage. Use `/mos:models override framework-runner sonnet` to force."  Then STOP -- do not dispatch.
+- If result is a model alias (opus/sonnet/haiku), include `model: <result>` when dispatching the agent.
+- If result is `inherit`, do not specify a model (use session default).
+
+For `--swarm` mode, resolve once and apply the same model to all dispatches.
+
+## Step 4c: Cost Estimation (AGENT-02)
+
+Before dispatching any agents, calculate and display the cost estimate using `dispatch-optimizer.cjs`:
+
+```javascript
+const { estimateTokenCost, formatCostEstimate, selectModel, planDispatch } = require('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/core/dispatch-optimizer.cjs');
+```
+
+**For single mode:** Estimate 1 agent at the resolved model.
+**For chain mode:** Estimate N agents (one per chain step) at the resolved model.
+**For swarm mode:** Use `planDispatch(roomPath, { remainingContext, maxBudget })` for full plan.
+
+Display the cost estimate in the thinking trace:
+
+```
+[COST] Estimated token usage
+       {formatCostEstimate result, e.g. "This will use ~150K tokens (3 agents x Opus)"}
+       Budget: {remainingContext}K remaining
+       {if downgraded: "Model downgraded: opus -> sonnet (budget constraint)"}
+```
+
+If the `--budget` flag is set, pass it as `maxBudget` to the optimizer. The optimizer will constrain swarm sizing and model selection to fit within the user's budget.
+
+## Step 5: Handle Mode
+
+### Standard Mode (`/mos:act`)
+
+After displaying the thinking trace:
+
+1. Ask the user: "Ready to run **{framework-name}**? (yes / pick another / cancel)"
+2. If yes, dispatch to `agents/framework-runner.md` with:
+   - Framework name
+   - Room context summary (from Step 2)
+   - No chain input (single execution)
+3. After framework-runner completes, show Zone 3 (what changed) and Zone 4 (next steps)
+
+### Dry-Run Mode (`/mos:act --dry-run`)
+
+Display the thinking trace (Step 4) and the execution plan following the dry-run format from `references/pipeline/act-output-contract.md`. Do NOT execute anything.
+
+```
+[ACT] Execution Plan (DRY RUN)
+     Room: {room name}
+     Stage: {venture stage}
+     Problem: {definition}/{complexity}
+
+     Step 1: {framework-name}
+             Why: {1-line reasoning}
+             Target: room/{section}/
+             Est: {time estimate}
+
+     Run /mos:act to execute this plan.
+```
+
+### Chain Mode (`/mos:act --chain`)
+
+1. Select 3-5 frameworks using the chain selection logic:
+   - First framework: targets weakest section or most pressing gap
+   - Subsequent frameworks: build on previous, guided by Brain `FEEDS_INTO` relationships or natural progression (Exploration -> Analysis -> Synthesis -> Validation)
+   - Never select redundant frameworks
+   - Read `references/pipeline/act-output-contract.md` for chain selection rules
+
+2. Display the full chain thinking trace:
+
+```
+[THINK] Chain Selection (3-5 frameworks)
+
+  Room: {room name}
+  Stage: {venture stage}
+
+  Chain:
+    1. {framework-1} -- {why: targets weakest section}
+    2. {framework-2} -- {why: builds on step 1 findings}
+    3. {framework-3} -- {why: synthesizes insights}
+    [4. {framework-4} -- {why: validates conclusions}]
+
+  Total: {N} frameworks, ~{time} estimated
+  Source: {Brain graph chains | Local progression}
+```
+
+3. Ask user: "Ready to run this chain? (yes / modify / cancel)"
+
+4. If yes, execute sequentially **with checkpoints between steps** (AGENT-03):
+   - Run framework 1 via `agents/framework-runner.md`
+   - After each step completes, use `chainCheckpoint()` from `dispatch-optimizer.cjs` to generate the pause prompt:
+     ```javascript
+     const { chainCheckpoint } = require('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/core/dispatch-optimizer.cjs');
+     const cp = chainCheckpoint(currentStep, totalSteps, completedFramework, nextFramework, { artifactsAdded, section });
+     ```
+   - Display the checkpoint and WAIT for the user's response:
+     ```
+     [CHAIN] Step {N}/{total} complete: {framework-name}
+             Filed: {artifacts count} artifacts to room/{section}/
+             Forwarding: {chain_forward.focus}
+
+     Continue to step {N+1}? ({next-framework-name})
+     (yes / skip / stop)
+     ```
+   - **yes** -- proceed to next framework, passing previous output as chain input
+   - **skip** -- skip the next framework, move to the one after it (or finish if last)
+   - **stop** -- halt the chain, file what's been produced, show partial summary
+   - This checkpoint replaces the old auto-run behavior. Users control pacing.
+
+5. After all frameworks complete (or user stops), show summary:
+   ```
+   [ACT] Chain Complete
+
+     Frameworks: {list}
+     Artifacts filed: {total count}
+     Sections updated: {list}
+
+     Key insights across chain:
+     - {insight 1}
+     - {insight 2}
+     - {insight 3}
+   ```
+
+### Chain Dry-Run (`/mos:act --chain --dry-run`)
+
+Display the full chain plan following dry-run format. Show all steps with reasoning and expected outputs. Do NOT execute.
+
+## Step 6: Post-Execution
+
+After any execution (single or chain):
+
+1. **Zone 3 -- Intelligence Strip:** Show what changed in the room:
+   - New artifacts filed (count + sections)
+   - Any cross-references discovered
+   - Problem type reclassification if warranted
+
+2. **Zone 4 -- Action Footer:** Suggest 2-3 next steps:
+   - Another `/mos:act` for continued autonomous work
+   - Specific manual command if human judgment needed
+   - `/mos:status` to see updated room state
+
+## Swarm Mode (`/mos:act --swarm`)
+
+Swarm mode dispatches **N** framework-runner agents **simultaneously**, each targeting a different high-gap room section. N is **dynamically calculated** -- not hardcoded to 3. This is the parallel counterpart to `--chain` (which runs sequentially).
+
+### Swarm Selection (AGENT-01: Dynamic Sizing)
+
+Use `dispatch-optimizer.cjs` to calculate the optimal swarm size:
+
+```javascript
+const { planDispatch } = require('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/core/dispatch-optimizer.cjs');
+const plan = planDispatch(roomPath, {
+  remainingContext: contextBudget,  // current session remaining tokens
+  maxBudget: userBudget || undefined,  // from --budget flag if set
+});
+// plan.agents = optimal count
+// plan.sections = which sections to target
+// plan.model = which model to use (may be downgraded)
+// plan.cost.display = human-readable cost string
+```
+
+The optimizer applies the formula: **N = min(weak_sections, context_budget / agent_cost)**
+
+1. **Identify weak sections** via `findWeakSections(roomPath)`:
+   - Sections with fewer than 5 entries, sorted ascending
+   - If zero weak sections, swarm is not useful -- suggest single `/mos:act` instead
+
+2. **Scale to budget** via `scaleSwarm()`:
+   - If `--budget` flag set, that caps the total token spend
+   - If remaining context is tight, fewer agents dispatched
+   - If remaining context < 60% of window, model downgrades automatically (AGENT-04)
+
+3. **Select one framework per section** using the same scoring logic as Step 3 (Brain or local fallback), but each framework targets a DIFFERENT section. No two agents work the same section.
+
+4. **Model resolution** uses `selectModel()` from dispatch-optimizer:
+   - Starts with model-profiles.cjs resolution for framework-runner
+   - Downgrades opus -> sonnet -> haiku if budget requires it (AGENT-04)
+   - All agents in a swarm use the same model tier
+
+### Swarm Thinking Trace
+
+Display the swarm plan before dispatching, including cost estimate (AGENT-02):
+
+```
+[THINK] Swarm Selection ({N} parallel agents)
+
+  Room: {room name}
+  Stage: {venture stage}
+
+  Agent 1: {framework-1} -> room/{section-1}/
+           Model: {resolved model}
+           Gap: {entry count} entries (weakest)
+  Agent 2: {framework-2} -> room/{section-2}/
+           Model: {resolved model}
+           Gap: {entry count} entries
+  [... up to N agents ...]
+
+  Source: {Brain graph | Local routing table}
+  Sizing: {plan.reasoning.swarm}
+  {if downgraded: "Model: downgraded from {original} to {actual} (budget constraint)"}
+
+[COST] {plan.cost.display}
+       Budget: {remainingContext}K remaining{if --budget: ", capped at {budget}K"}
+```
+
+Ask user: "Ready to swarm? (yes / modify / cancel)"
+
+### Swarm Dispatch
+
+If user confirms:
+
+1. Dispatch all N framework-runner agents in parallel using the Agent tool with `run_in_background: true`:
+   - N comes from `plan.agents` (dispatch-optimizer result), NOT hardcoded
+   - Each agent receives: framework name, room path, target section, room context summary, resolved model
+   - Each agent is an independent `agents/framework-runner.md` invocation
+   - Agents do NOT share context or coordinate -- they run in full isolation
+
+2. Show dispatch confirmation:
+   ```
+   [SWARM] Dispatched {N} agents
+           Agent 1: {framework-1} -> {section-1} [running]
+           Agent 2: {framework-2} -> {section-2} [running]
+           [... up to N ...]
+
+           Waiting for all agents to complete...
+   ```
+
+3. As each agent completes, collect its `FRAMEWORK_RUNNER_RESULT` structured summary
+
+### Swarm Synthesis
+
+After all N agents return:
+
+1. **Collect results** -- parse each agent's `FRAMEWORK_RUNNER_RESULT` for key_insights and cross_references
+
+2. **Cross-agent discovery** -- scan all N artifacts for emergent connections:
+   - Do any two agents' findings reference the same concept from different angles?
+   - Do any cross_references point to each other's target sections?
+   - Are there contradictions between agents' findings?
+
+3. **Trigger HSI recomputation** -- run the post-write cascade for all N new artifacts:
+   ```bash
+   "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/compute-hsi.py" room
+   ```
+   This satisfies PARA-05: parallel filings trigger HSI recomputation to discover cross-agent innovation connections.
+
+4. **Show swarm summary:**
+   ```
+   [SWARM] Complete -- {N} frameworks executed in parallel
+
+     Agent 1: {framework-1} -> room/{section-1}/
+              Quality: {high|medium|low}
+              Insights: {top insight}
+     [... for each agent ...]
+
+     Cross-Agent Discoveries:
+     - {emergent connection 1}
+     - {emergent connection 2}
+
+     Token Usage: {actual tokens used} (estimated {plan.cost.display})
+     HSI Recomputed: {new HSI_CONNECTION edges found}
+     Artifacts filed: {total count}
+     Sections updated: {list}
+   ```
+
+### Swarm Dry-Run (`/mos:act --swarm --dry-run`)
+
+Display the swarm thinking trace (above) with all 3 agent assignments, resolved models, and expected outputs. Do NOT dispatch any agents.
+
+## Brain Enhancement
+
+When Brain MCP is connected, the autonomous engine gains:
+
+1. **Graph-informed chains:** `FEEDS_INTO` and `TRANSFORMS_OUTPUT_TO` relationships create empirically-grounded framework sequences
+2. **Confidence scores:** Brain provides confidence on each framework recommendation
+3. **Problem-type alignment:** `ADDRESSES_PROBLEM_TYPE` relationship validates selections
+4. **Cross-domain patterns:** Brain knows which framework combinations produce breakthrough insights across domains
+
+Without Brain, the engine uses the local routing table and natural progression heuristics. Both paths produce valid results -- Brain makes them more precise.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- **Empty room (no STATE.md, no entries):** "Your room is empty. Start with `/mos:new-project` to set up, then come back."
+- **All frameworks already applied:** "You have applied all recommended frameworks for this problem type. Try `/mos:pipeline` for structured multi-stage work, or `/mos:suggest-next` for Brain-powered recommendations."
+- **Framework-runner fails:** Report which framework failed, what was attempted, and suggest running it manually via `/mos:{framework-name}`.
+- **Chain interrupted:** Save progress (artifacts already filed persist), report which step failed, offer to resume from that step.
