+scope: common
+description: Author, update, convert, validate, persist, and render PKF (`.pkf`) content through message-inline, Library Asset, or Memory Page carriers. Use for structured reports, knowledge pages, delivery cards, or any `.pkf` body. NOT for recall, memory-graph placement, or curation decisions — those belong to the `memory` skill.
+---
+
+# pkf-writing
+
+PKF is the workspace long-content format: sanitized HTML plus frontmatter,
+typed links, and controlled media/data/math/interactive elements. This skill
+owns PKF authoring and carrier discipline. The `memory` skill decides what to
+remember and where; domain workflows decide when a deliverable is required.
+
+## Choose exactly one carrier
+
+| Carrier | Authority | Validation, persist, and readback | Reply |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Message inline | PKF bytes delivered mechanically by `pkf_reply_inline`; the attached inline ContentBlock is durable with the message | validate the complete file BEFORE the call; the Runtime re-reads, re-validates, and attaches it for you; inspect the extracted/rendered receipt | Markdown projection is the reply text; never paste sentinel comments, never attach the .pkf as a file |
+| Library `.pkf` Asset | Library asset bytes + content hash/revision + scoped URI | dependency-free: host Library writer; dependency-bearing: atomic `pkf_bundle_commit`; read back authoritative root and graph | link the root asset and include a short projection |
+| Memory Page | Memory Page body + page revision | ask `memory` to choose/create the page; validate before its domain writer; read back the page and revision | summarize the remembered fact and canonical page |
+
+Carrier authority is exclusive. Markdown projection is a readable derivative,
+never canonical authority. Never report success from local draft bytes alone.
+When the user asks for an article/report in chat and does not explicitly ask
+for a downloadable file or Memory page, choose Message inline. Do not create
+an attachment merely because the task workspace exposes an artifacts folder.
+
+### Message-inline delivery (pkf_reply_inline)
+
+Deliver mechanically, never by pasting wire bytes: save the validated PKF to a file in
+the task scratch dir, then call `pkf_reply_inline({"path":"memo.pkf"})` exactly once and
+reply in Markdown projection; the Runtime attaches the ContentBlock. If validation is
+not green, do not deliver at all.
+Never paste sentinel comments into the reply; never attach the .pkf as a file; the
+Runtime still extracts the bytes between the two sentinels
+`<!-- prismer-pkf:inline:start -->` / `<!-- prismer-pkf:inline:end -->` for legacy agents that predate the tool — do not hand-write that region.
+
+## Authoring loop (all carriers)
+
+```text
+1. choose carrier + authority → message inline | Library Asset | Memory Page
+2. inspect source and refs    → copy real resolved URIs; never fabricate
+3. mint + author + validate   → `pkf_mint_sids` once; repair every error; resolve referenced assets
+4. persist through owner      → `pkf_reply_inline` | Library/bundle writer | memory writer
+5. readback + project         → URI/revision/hash + resolved validation; concise Markdown projection
+```
+
+**Never fabricate a URI.** Copy scoped `prismer://workspace/<ws>/asset/<sha256>` values
+from browse/resolve results. Inside one atomic bundle, reference bundle files by their
+bundle-relative path (e.g. `manifest="manifest.json"`, `src="data.csv"`); the Runtime
+normalizer computes every SHA-256 content hash, SRI and source hash, generates the harness
+manifest from `harnessDecl`, and rewrites those references into host-bound scoped asset URIs
+before the commit. Do not compute or hand-type hashes yourself — supply content (`bytesBase64` or
+`text`), paths, mime and usage only; a self-supplied hash is verified locally and a mismatch fails fast.
+Do not pass actor or workspace arguments to the commit tool; the host binds authority. If
+host-bound scope is unavailable, stop instead of guessing it. No base64/data-URI assets,
+remote scripts/fonts, or new bare `prismer://asset/<id>` references. If persistence or
+readback is unavailable, say so and retain a draft; never fake a revision.
+
+## Real command matrix and editing lanes
+
+| Need | Structured/runtime | Native/Cloud CLI |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| mint section ids | `pkf_mint_sids` | n/a |
+| inspect | `pkf_outline`, `pkf_search`, `pkf_read` | `cloud pkf inspect` or ordinary UTF-8 read |
+| edit local draft | normal file tools | `cloud pkf patch`, `cloud pkf diff` |
+| validate | `pkf_validate` | `cloud pkf validate` |
+| deliver message-inline | `pkf_reply_inline` (task scratch/workdir file path) | n/a |
+| persist Library Asset | host Library writer | `cloud asset upload` only when the host exposes it; require its receipt |
+| persist logical bundle | `pkf_bundle_commit` | one atomic root + dependency graph; require readback |
+| persist Memory Page | `memory_browse` → `memory_write` → `memory_load` | n/a |
+| project/export | host projection | `cloud pkf project`, `cloud pkf render` |
+| harness assets | n/a | `cloud pkf pack-harness` |
+
+`pkf_mint_sids`/`pkf_validate`/`pkf_outline`/`pkf_search`/`pkf_read`/
+`pkf_bundle_commit`/`pkf_reply_inline` are native **function-call tools** —
+not shell executables. Call them through the tool API with JSON arguments;
+never `command -v`, terminal probes, Python imports, or hand-written SID/validator
+replacements. The shell lane is only `cloud …`. If a required native tool and
+`cloud` are both unavailable, keep a draft and report the Runtime capability error.
+
+The `.pkf` file is ordinary UTF-8. Validate the whole page after every edit;
+a 409/412 means re-read and re-target, never force. After persistence, read
+back canonical bytes/receipt and run resolved validation where supported.
+
+## Report quality floor
+
+Before `pkf_reply_inline` or any carrier persist, run a quality self-check.
+A valid PKF shell can still be an unacceptable deliverable: strict validation
+only proves the carrier is parseable. For substantive research memos,
+playbooks, and architecture reviews, unless the user asks plain text, include:
+- five or more semantic sections, including decision/summary and action/checklist;
+- at least two rich affordances chosen by need: comparison/risk/ownership table,
+  `<prismer-diagram ...>`, `<prismer-data ...>`, `<prismer-widget ...>`, or
+  CONTROLLED `prismer-svg` via `pkf-svg` + `pkf_svg_check`;
+- caption/alt text that explains what each visual proves, not decoration.
+
+If no visual/data/widget is useful, state that in the Markdown projection after readback; never add ornamental content just to satisfy the checklist.
+
+## Core format (PKF v1.1 strict)
+
+Canonical MIME: `application/vnd.prismer.pkf+html`.
+
+```html
+<script type="application/prismer+json">
+{"type":"note","title":"Database choice","description":"Chose PostgreSQL over MySQL.","tags":["db","decision"],"timestamp":"2026-06-29T00:00:00Z","visibility":"workspace","sensitivity":"none","pkfVersion":"1.1","presentation":{"theme":"knowledge","density":"comfortable","fontProfile":"auto","locale":"zh-CN"}}
+</script>
+<section><h2 id="decision" data-sid="sec_01k2f6m8v7q4x9a3b5c6d7e8f9">Decision</h2><p>…</p></section>
+```
+
+- `description` is required and feeds previews/TOC. Presentation theme is
+  `knowledge|editorial|technical`; density `compact|comfortable`; fontProfile
+  `auto|sans|serif`; locale is BCP-47. Font profiles never accept URLs.
+- Each `<section>` first direct heading carries `id` + stable `data-sid` (`sec_` + 26
+  lowercase Crockford base32). Mint once; renames do not change it.
+- Typed relations: `derived-from|contradicts|supports|child-of|related|references|cites`.
+  Copy hrefs from browse/search results. `child-of` points from child to hub.
+- Strict errors: scripts/styles, inline handlers/style, javascript URLs, bare
+  asset URIs, malformed frontmatter, duplicate/illegal section identities.
+
+## Semantic content and security
+
+Use headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, code/pre, tables, figure/figcaption,
+details/summary, footnote roles, and optional `data-pkf-layout="columns-2|wide|full-bleed"`.
+Every media figure has alt text or figcaption. Sanitization does not grant permission:
+rejected content must not be persisted as successful PKF; a raw upload may remain
+quarantined but must never render active or be reported as a successful canonical write.
+
+- Media pointers use scoped resolved URIs; never embed copies or remote media.
+- `<prismer-file src="…" name="guide.pdf" mime="application/pdf" bytes="476356">`
+  uses a pathless name; unknown MIME degrades to a generic card.
+- `<prismer-data format="csv" view="table" caption="…">…</prismer-data>`; formats
+  `csv|tsv|json|ndjson|parquet|arrow|npz`, views
+  `table|line|bar|scatter|area|heatmap|json-tree|chart-bar|chart-line|chart-pie`.
+- `<prismer-math format="tex" display="inline|block">E = mc^2</prismer-math>`;
+  TeX only, KaTeX trust=false, ≤16 KiB; unsafe/unknown macros fall back to source.
+
+## Visual capabilities: content → visual selection, delegate the grammar
+
+Content → visual selection (一图胜千言 — pick by content shape); structured
+reports plan visuals in the outline, never decorate afterwards:
+
+| Content shape | Visual | Carrier |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Entities + relationships (architecture, topology, integrations) | diagram | `<prismer-diagram format="mermaid">` (`flowchart`/`erDiagram`) |
+| Decision paths, state machines, protocols | diagram | `<prismer-diagram format="mermaid">` (`flowchart`/`sequenceDiagram`) |
+| Who does what when (handoffs, orchestration) | sequence diagram | `<prismer-diagram format="mermaid">` |
+| Numbers compared across categories (gaps, scores, counts) | bar chart | `<prismer-data view="chart-bar">` |
+| Trend over stages/time (adoption, latency, cost) | line chart | `<prismer-data view="chart-line">` |
+| Part-to-whole (share of count/risk/effort) | pie chart | `<prismer-data view="chart-pie">` |
+| Maturity/phases/gates | flowchart or table | `<prismer-diagram>` / table |
+
+A report with ≥3 major sections and zero visuals is a smell — justify prose-only in one
+sentence or add the missing visual; never duplicate (chart OR table OR prose enumeration);
+every caption states the takeaway, not the mechanics, and prose carries interpretation only.
+
+Load `pkf-svg` for visual planning, widget composition, accessibility, and quality review;
+it owns visual/SVG grammar, this skill only routes the carrier. Simple diagrams stay on
+`<prismer-diagram format="mermaid" caption="…">` (Mermaid
+`erDiagram|flowchart|sequenceDiagram|xychart-beta`); data stay on d3-backed
+`chart-bar|chart-line|chart-pie`.
+
+### Visual SOURCES — four lanes, one rule: the pointer must be a scoped URI
+
+1. **Draw it natively (preferred for facts)** — Mermaid diagrams and `prismer-data` charts
+   from YOUR structured data: deterministic, editable, theme-consistent, zero external
+   dependency. Prefer it whenever the visual encodes facts the report states.
+2. **Author controlled SVG** (PKF v1.2 CONTROLLED `prismer-svg`, pkf209 D19 activated
+   2026-08-18; grammar owned by `pkf-svg`) — for topology/complex hierarchy Mermaid cannot
+   express: copy the pkf-svg skeleton, verify with `pkf_svg_check({"svg":"…"})` until green.
+3. **AI-generate imagery** (`image-generate` skill) — concept/mood visuals only (metaphor,
+   hero, illustration), never for facts. `cloud deliver` it into the workspace, read back
+   the asset id/hash, reference the scoped URI in the body
+   (`<figure><img src="prismer://workspace/<ws>/asset/<hash>">`), caption as generated.
+4. **Web imagery** (`web_load`/web search) — licensed/public imagery must be DOWNLOADED and
+   materialized as a workspace asset first (same scoped-URI path as lane 3); remote URLs
+   never render. Public-domain/permissive sources only; attribute in the caption.
+
+Selection order: facts → lane 1; Mermaid-inexpressible structure → lane 2; concept/mood →
+lane 3; real-world photos/screenshots → lane 4 (or lane 3 when nothing suitable exists).
+If `pkf-svg` is unavailable, fallback to Mermaid for diagrams, d3 for data, semantic
+HTML/prose, or a reviewed static asset. Do not hand-roll free SVG.
+
+- Mermaid fences from imported markdown serialize into the same diagram element:
+  `PKF_EXAMPLE_INLINE_DIAGRAM`, `PKF_EXAMPLE_ER_DIAGRAM`, `PKF_EXAMPLE_MERMAID_IMPORT`;
+  data/image/model: `PKF_EXAMPLE_CHARTS`, `PKF_EXAMPLE_AI_IMAGE`, `PKF_EXAMPLE_MODEL_3D`,
+  `PKF_EXAMPLE_MIXED` — all in `src/lib/pkf/examples.ts` (`PKF_EXAMPLE_CAPABILITIES`).
+  AI text-to-image output is a reviewed PNG asset with a resolved scoped URI, never an inline substitute or hand-drawn SVG.
+- `<prismer-model format="primitives" caption="…">`: declarative `box|sphere|cylinder|torus|plane`
+  JSON, ≤50 objects, zero script; renders as a static frame today.
+
+## Interactive content: widgets first, harness only for custom JS
+
+For ordinary interaction (tabbed sections, tag filtering, counters, timelines, checklists)
+use the declarative `<prismer-widget>` — the reader renders it natively with
+zero JS and zero iframe. At most one widget per document, ≤32 entries each, ≤8 KiB total; types
+`tabs|filter|counter|timeline|checklist`.
+
+```html
+<prismer-widget type="tabs">{"tabs":[{"label":"Plan","content":"Phase A complete."},{"label":"Risk","content":"Phase B risk: cache staleness."}]}</prismer-widget>
+```
+```html
+<prismer-widget type="checklist">{"title":"Launch gate","items":[{"text":"Tests green","done":true},{"text":"Docs updated","done":false}]}</prismer-widget>
+```
+
+Seed/onboarding PKF must be self-contained: one canonical tour page, stable ids/SIDs, real scoped
+URIs from manifest or bundle readback, no remote URLs/data URIs/base64/invented hashes; success is
+proven by persisted assets, ledger rows, Memory receipts, and DOM/readback — not welcome wording.
+
+Only when custom JS is genuinely required — knowing the host mount is NOT implemented yet (a bundle packs and validates but does not render) — use the JS harness below and let the Runtime compute its hashes and manifest.
+
+## Interactive harness
+
+Any PKF with JS, CSS, media, CSV, or other support files is one logical bundle. Call
+`pkf_bundle_commit` once with one atomic logical bundle: the PKF root and all dependencies,
+using one stable idempotency key across retries. Completion requires canonical readback of
+the receipt, root, and resource relation graph. Never upload JS, CSS, media, CSV, or
+dependencies separately; never use prose to claim resource relations or attachment associations.
+
+`<prismer-interactive manifest="prismer://workspace/<ws>/asset/<sha256>">` points to a versioned
+manifest whose scripts/styles use scoped URIs and real sha256 integrity; the pack command rejects
+traversal, symlinks, remote imports, and oversize; sandbox is allow-scripts without
+allow-same-origin under CSP. Always provide a static no-JS fallback; non-empty actions require governance.
+
+## Validation, readback, projection, export
+
+```text
+native tool: pkf_validate({"source":"<complete PKF>","level":"structure"})
+cloud pkf validate <file> [--level resolved] [--json]
+```
+
+- Every error blocks persistence. Resource refs remain unverified until the
+  authority readback resolves them. Structure-only success is not completion.
+- Markdown projection is read-only degradation, never executable or canonical.
+- Standalone export contains no bearer/presigned URLs; private refs degrade to
+  labels, interactive content to static fallback, and math uses pinned KaTeX.

+### Your identity is already provisioned — never self-provision (HARD)
+
+Beyond not *impersonating* in chat, never **re-provision** your credentials. You were handed a working identity at spawn: a `$PRISMER_API_KEY` in your environment and an `[auth]` block already written into your daemon `config.toml`. **Use them as-is.**

+description: Propose a proactive action (a clarifying question or a heads-up) to your human manager WITHOUT spamming. Use when you've noticed something durable and worth surfacing — a blocker, an ambiguity that will bite later, a risk — but it isn't urgent enough to interrupt mid-task. Every proposal goes through the cloud propose pipeline, which dedups, gates, budgets, and surfaces it on the human's existing notification rail. Soft self-gate first.
+applies_to: [hermes, claude-code, openclaw, codex]
+version: 1
+---
+
+# Proactivity
+
+Use this skill to **propose** a proactive action — never to spam. The cloud runs a
+discipline firewall (dedup → cooldown → gate → budget → promote) and only a small
+number of proposals per workspace per day ever reach the human. So your job is to
+**self-gate hard** and propose only the few things that genuinely earn the interrupt.
+
+You **propose**. The cloud **decides** whether it surfaces. If your proposal is
+deduped, gated out, or over budget, that is the system working — do not retry or
+rephrase to get around it.
+
+## SENSE → REFLECT → SELECT → propose
+
+1. **SENSE** — across the work you just did, what did you notice that the human
+   doesn't already know and would want to know?
+2. **REFLECT** — for each candidate, ask the soft self-gate (below). Drop anything
+   that fails.
+3. **SELECT** — keep at most ONE, occasionally two, of the highest-value items.
+   Resist the urge to surface everything.
+4. **propose** — emit it through the CLI. Pick the kind:
+   - `clarify` → a **question** you need the human to answer (surfaces as a prompt).
+   - `notify` / `surface` → a **heads-up** (surfaces as a notification, no answer needed).
+
+## Soft self-gate (REFLECT)
+
+Only propose if **all** are true:
+
+1. It's **durable** — still matters in hours/days, not a passing detail.
+2. It's **not derivable** — the human can't already see it from the task result.
+3. It **needs them** — either a decision only they can make (`clarify`), or a risk
+   they'd want flagged (`notify`). If you can just handle it, handle it; don't propose.
+4. It's **not noise** — you'd be comfortable if they saw it and thought "good catch",
+   not "why are you pinging me about this".
+
+If in doubt, **don't propose**. A missed heads-up costs less than rail spam.
+
+## How to propose (CLI)
+
+```bash
+# A clarifying question (needs a human answer)
+cloud proactivity propose \
+  --workspace <workspaceId> \
+  --rule <ruleId> \
+  --kind clarify \
+  --target <managerImUserId> \
+  --title "Which deploy target — test or prod?" \
+  --body "The task spec says 'ship it' but two clusters are configured. I need one before I proceed."
+
+# A heads-up (no answer needed)
+cloud proactivity propose \
+  --workspace <workspaceId> \
+  --rule <ruleId> \
+  --kind notify \
+  --target <managerImUserId> \
+  --title "API key expires in 3 days" \
+  --body "Noticed while reading the config — the prod key rotates 2026-06-28."
+```
+
+`--rule` is the human-authored watcher this proposal belongs to. **Rules are created by
+humans, never by you** — if you don't have a rule id, you have nothing to propose under;
+ask the human to create one. The propose call returns one of:
+
+- `promoted` — it reached the human's rail.
+- `deduped` — an identical proposal already exists (you're done; do not retry).
+- `gated_out` — below the gate / inside the cooldown window (do not retry).
+- `over_budget` — the workspace's daily proactivity budget is spent (do not retry).
+
+Any non-`promoted` outcome is **final for this attempt**. Move on.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- ⛔ Do **not** propose to get around a `gated_out` / `over_budget` / `deduped` result.
+- ⛔ Do **not** invent a rule id or author a rule yourself — rules are human-authored.
+- ⛔ Do **not** read another user's private memory to build a proposal. Only surface
+  what you legitimately observed in your own session.
+- ✅ Prefer ONE high-value proposal over several mediocre ones.
