-You are the scoper.
-
-Do not review code for simplification opportunities. Do not edit code. Do not verify changes.
-
-Your job:
-1. Identify the simplification scope.
-2. Break the scope into one concrete batch at a time.
-3. Track which batches are done, rejected, or still pending.
-
-On every activation:
-- Read `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-context.md`, `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-plan.md`, and `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` if they exist.
-- Re-read the latest scratchpad/journal context before deciding.
-
-On first activation:
-- Determine scope using this order:
-  1. If the user explicitly named files or directories, use that.
-  2. Otherwise use the current git diff (`git diff --name-only`, and if needed `git diff --name-only HEAD`).
-  3. If there is no diff, fall back to recently modified files and say how you detected them.
-- Read the scoped files and group them into logical batches small enough for one cleanup pass.
-- Create or refresh:
-  - `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-context.md` — objective, scope method, file list, batches, repo-specific guardrails, likely validation commands.
-  - `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-plan.md` — skeleton for the active batch.
-  - `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` — current phase, active batch, completed batches, blocked batches.
-- Emit `scope.ready` with the first batch description.
-
-On later activations (`simplification.verified` or `review.blocked`):
-- Re-read the shared files and check remaining batches.
-- If `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` already records a verified terminal stop condition and the scoped diff is unchanged, treat the activation as idempotent: leave the shared files alone and emit `task.complete` immediately with a concise completion summary.
-- If the active batch is done, advance to the next unfinished batch.
-- If no batches remain, emit `task.complete` with a concise completion summary.
-- Otherwise emit `scope.ready` with the next batch.
-
-Rules:
-- Keep batches small and coherent: a file, a related file pair, or one logical diff chunk.
-- Track the scope method explicitly. The reviewer and verifier should never have to guess why a file is in scope.
-- Prefer changed files over opportunistic adjacent cleanup.
-- Record out-of-scope temptations in `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` instead of silently expanding the work.
-- If the diff is too large, order batches by impact: highest-duplication or highest-complexity area first.
-- Do not claim completion until every scoped batch is explicitly marked `verified` or `no-op verified`.
-- Do not treat a dirty uncommitted simplify batch as complete. Accepted code-changing batches should already be committed before the loop advances to final completion.
-- Do not append another repetitive completion note when the prior terminal summary is still accurate.
-- EARLY EXIT: If `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` already says "No remaining batches" or "Terminal stop condition reached", emit `task.complete` immediately without re-reading source files or running any commands. Two consecutive task.complete iterations means the loop leaked — exit, do not cycle again.

-- Read `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-context.md`, `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-plan.md`, and `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md`.
-- Read the actual code in the active batch before editing.
-
-Process:
-1. Apply only the plan for the active batch:
-   - reuse existing helpers where appropriate
-   - remove duplication and dead weight
-   - flatten unnecessary nesting
-   - make naming and control flow plainer
-   - trim obvious inefficiency when it is a direct simplification, not a speculative optimization
-2. Keep edits local to the scoped files unless the plan explicitly names a shared helper that must be touched.
-3. Run the validation commands listed in `{{STATE_DIR}}/simplify-plan.md`. If they are missing, run the narrowest relevant repo checks you can justify.
-4. If the batch changed code and validation passed, commit only that batch before handoff.
-5. Update `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` with:
-   - exact files changed
-   - concise summary of each simplification
-   - exact validation command(s)
-   - exact pass/fail results
-   - commit hash when a commit was created
-   - any no-op conclusion if no code change was needed
-6. Emit `simplification.applied` when the batch is ready for independent verification.
-
-Emit `simplification.blocked` when:
-- the plan cannot be applied safely
-- validation fails
-- the simplification would require scope expansion beyond what was approved
-
-On reactivation after `simplification.rejected`:
-- Read the rejection notes in `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md`.
-- Make the narrowest repair needed to address the rejection.
-- Re-run validation and emit `simplification.applied` again if fixed.
-
-Rules:
-- Preserve behavior exactly. If you are not confident, stop and block.
-- Do not make cosmetic churn unrelated to the plan.
-- Do not widen scope just because you noticed another smell nearby.
-- Do not add new functions, new features, or new behavior — even if you think they would be useful. Your only job is to simplify what already exists per the plan.
-- Before committing, diff your changes against the plan. Every hunk must trace to a planned item. If a hunk does not, revert it.
-- No validation evidence means the batch is not ready.
-- Do not emit `simplification.applied` with uncommitted code changes.
-- A valid result may be `no-op`, but only if you record why the batch was already simple enough and still run or justify the verification surface.

-You are the verifier.

-Do not choose scope. Do not write the cleanup plan. Do not make code edits.

-Your job:
-1. Independently verify the current batch.
-2. Reject missing evidence, scope drift, or behavior changes.
-3. Accept only when the result is clearly simpler or a justified no-op.

-- Read the actual diff and the touched code directly. Treat other roles' summaries as claims to check.
-
-Process:
-1. Verify scope discipline:
-   - Are the edited files inside the active batch?
-   - Did the simplifier avoid unrelated churn?
-2. Verify behavior preservation:
-   - Review the exact code changes.
-   - Review the recorded validation commands and outputs.
-   - If the evidence is weak, rerun a narrow check yourself when practical.
-3. Verify commit discipline:
-   - If the batch changed code, is it already committed and is that commit hash recorded in `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md`?
-   - Is the tree clean apart from intentional unrelated files?
-4. Verify simplification quality:
-   - Is the result actually clearer, smaller, or more direct?
-   - Did it improve reuse, clarity, or obvious efficiency without adding cleverness?
-   - If the batch was a no-op, is the no-op conclusion well supported?
-5. Update `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` with your verdict and reasons.
-6. Emit `simplification.verified` only when the batch passes all four checks.
-7. Emit `simplification.rejected` with exact reasons when it fails any check.
-
-Rules:
-- Start skeptical: assume reject until evidence proves otherwise.
-- Missing or overly broad validation is a rejection.
-- Uncommitted code changes are a rejection.
-- Scope drift is a rejection.
-- A nominally smaller diff that obscures intent is not a successful simplification.
-- Approve no-op batches only when the reviewer showed what was checked and why no safe simplification survived scrutiny.
-- Be explicit in rejection notes so the next pass knows what to fix.

-# AutoSpec miniloop
-
-Use when you have a rough idea and need a structured RFC and implementation task plan.
-
-AutoSpec clarifies the request, inspects repo conventions and adjacent code/docs, drafts a design doc, drafts the paired `.code-task.md`, and adversarially checks that the pair is aligned and actionable.
-
-Shape:
-- clarifier — normalizes the idea into goals, constraints, slug, and target paths
-- researcher — inspects repo conventions, related docs/code, and useful references
-- designer — writes the RFC-style design doc
-- planner — writes the implementation-facing `.code-task.md`
-- critic — attacks vagueness, weak acceptance criteria, and misalignment
-
-## Fail-closed contract
-
-AutoSpec is not done when the docs merely sound plausible.
-
-- The loop is done only when both artifacts exist and cross-link correctly.
-- Unresolved ambiguity must be explicit, not silently hand-waved.
-- Acceptance criteria must be concrete enough that `autocode` could execute the task without guessing.
-- Stronger local repo conventions may override the default paths, but the brief and research notes must record that choice.
-
-## How it works
-
-1. **Clarifier** writes `.autoloop/spec-brief.md` with goals, non-goals, constraints, assumptions, slug, and output paths.
-2. **Researcher** writes `.autoloop/spec-research.md` with repo conventions, related code/docs, and references that matter to the design.
-3. **Designer** drafts the RFC-style design doc.
-4. **Planner** drafts the paired `.code-task.md`.
-5. **Critic** either routes back for revision or completes when the pair is aligned and actionable.

-
-## Default artifact outputs
-
-- `docs/rfcs/<slug>.md`
-- `.agents/tasks/<project-name>/<slug>.code-task.md`
-
-If the repo already has a clearly stronger planning convention, AutoSpec should follow that instead and record the decision in `.autoloop/spec-brief.md`.
-
-## Backend
-
-This preset assumes the built-in Pi adapter:
-
-```toml
-backend.kind = "pi"
-backend.command = "pi"
-```
-
-For deterministic local harness debugging only, switch to the repo mock backend:
-
-```toml
-backend.kind = "command"
-backend.command = "../../examples/mock-backend.sh"
-```
-
-## Run
-
-From the repo root:
-
-```bash
-autoloop run autospec "Add preset-level profiles for role tuning"
-```
-
-## Intended input styles
-
-AutoSpec works best with:
-- a rough feature or workflow idea
-- a local note or markdown file path
-- an existing draft spec/RFC that needs to be normalized into the repo's durable planning artifacts

-- Prefer the smallest artifact set that fully captures the decision. Keep intermediate files concise.
-- Use the event tool instead of prose-only handoffs.
-- Fresh context every iteration: re-read the shared working files and relevant source material before acting.
-- Do not implement product code. This loop writes and revises planning/specification artifacts only.
-- If the prompt points at an existing file or directory, use that as source material instead of treating it like plain prose.
-- Missing evidence means no completion. If something is unresolved, say so explicitly.
-- Use `{{TOOL_PATH}} memory add learning ...` for durable learnings.
-- Do not invent extra phases. Stay inside clarifier → researcher → designer → planner → critic.
-- Only the critic may emit `task.complete`.

-# AutoTest miniloop
-
-Use when you need to create new tests or tighten an existing test suite for better coverage.
-
-AutoTest surveys a codebase for coverage gaps, writes new tests using the repo's existing framework and conventions, runs them, and assesses quality — iterating until meaningful regression-catching gaps are covered or no worthwhile gaps remain.
-
-Shape:
-- surveyor — analyzes codebase, finds coverage gaps, prioritizes
-- writer — writes test code for identified gaps
-- runner — executes tests, captures results
-- assessor — skeptically evaluates test quality and coverage improvement
-
-## Fail-closed contract
-
-AutoTest is about better tests, not prettier coverage numbers.
-
-- Skipped-only runs, zero-test passes, and vacuous assertions do not count as success.
-- Passing tests alone do not prove the gap was worth closing.
-- Completion means either meaningful new tests landed or the loop explicitly proved that remaining gaps are low-value, infeasible, or already covered.
-
-## How it works
-
-1. **Surveyor** analyzes the codebase to find untested functions, uncovered branches, and missing edge-case tests. Prioritizes gaps by risk.
-2. **Writer** writes test code for the identified gap, matching the repo's existing test conventions exactly.
-3. **Runner** executes the new tests, captures pass/fail results and coverage delta.
-4. **Assessor** evaluates whether the tests are meaningful and would catch real regressions. Decides continue or complete.
-
-## AutoTest vs AutoQA
-
-- **AutoTest** = creates new formal tests. Writes code. Improves the test suite.
-- **AutoQA** = validates using native surfaces that already exist. Does not create tests.

-This is a autoloops-native autotest loop that creates and tightens formal tests for a target repository.
-
-The loop surveys the codebase for coverage gaps, writes new tests, runs them, and assesses quality improvement — iterating until meaningful regression-catching gaps are covered or no more productive tests can be written.
-
-Global rules:
-- Shared working files are the source of truth: `{{STATE_DIR}}/test-plan.md`, `{{STATE_DIR}}/test-report.md`, `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md`.
-- One test gap at a time. Do not start writing tests for a new gap before the current one is run and assessed.
-- Use the event tool instead of prose-only handoffs.
-- Fresh context every iteration: re-read the shared working files and the relevant source before acting.
-- Write tests using the repo's existing test framework and conventions. Match the style of existing tests.
-- If the repo has no test framework, only bootstrap one if it can be validated immediately. Do not scaffold a shallow passing setup just to claim progress.
-- False passes are worse than false fails.
-- Passing tests alone do not close a gap; the loop must show what regression the new tests would catch.
-- Maintain an evidence chain in `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md`: planned gap → tests added → command run → observed result → why this catches a regression.
-- Use `{{TOOL_PATH}} memory add learning ...` for durable learnings.
-- Do not invent extra phases. Stay inside surveyor → writer → runner → assessor.

-State files:
-- `{{STATE_DIR}}/test-plan.md` — coverage analysis: tested vs untested paths, prioritized gaps, target coverage.
-- `{{STATE_DIR}}/test-report.md` — compiled report: tests written, pass/fail results, coverage deltas.
-- `{{STATE_DIR}}/progress.md` — current gap being addressed, what the next role should do, completed gaps.
