-**OpenSpec + Superpowers dual-star development workflow** — one command from idea to archive.
+**Comet is a resumable long-running task workflow and Skill platform for coding.**
 
-OpenSpec handles **WHAT** (outlines, proposals, spec lifecycle, archiving).
+It uses a unified cross-platform runtime to connect OpenSpec artifacts, Superpowers execution methodology, Skill creation, evaluation, and release into a closed-loop workflow. 
 
-Superpowers handles **HOW** (technical design, planning, execution, wrap-up).
-
-Comet chains both into a five-phase automated pipeline.
+It allows you to use a toolchain to handle everything from requirements to archiving, combine any skill to make it like Comet, evolving your skills based on scientific **Rubric**, **Pass@k**, and **Pass^k** scoring.
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> **0.3.7 Highlights** — One-step [CodeGraph](https://github.com/colbymchenry/codegraph) semantic code indexing (official: cost **↓16%**, tool calls **↓58%**); 
+> **0.4.0-beta.1** — Comet has been upgraded to a pure Node runtime (no longer dependent on Bash/WSL) and brings three core capabilities: use `/comet-any` to combine **any** skill into a custom workflow, use `comet eval` to evaluate **any** skill and integrate it into the LangSmith system, and use `comet dashboard` to visualize each change in the browser.
+>
+> **0.3.9** — Review mode (`off|standard|thorough`) controls Build/Verify code review with project defaults; init/update now use optional dependency prompts, broader CLI i18n, stronger phase guards, and macOS executable bits.

-> New **Beta context compression** cutting Build-phase input tokens by **25–30%**; 
-> New active context compression mechanism to release context consumed by reading specs and brainstorming, preserving window space for the subsequent Build phase.
-> 6 default-on workflow token optimizations; New `auto_transition` config for automatic or manual phase handoff; 
-> Hook+Rule anti-drift phase guard; Optional TDD mode and subagent dispatch confirmation; 
-> Large PRD split into multiple changes; Pre-archive confirmation with reopen, verify retry limit, systematic debugging interception, and verification completion check.
+> **0.3.8** — Adds Kimi Code support, safe multi-platform `comet uninstall`, extended subagent dispatch, shared progressive-loading references, update checks, and pre-commit formatting.

-## Why Comet
-
-OpenSpec excels at managing requirements, creating proposals, managing Spec lifecycles, and archiving, but its proposals
-and tasks lack the detail of Superpowers brainstorming.
-
-Superpowers generates Spec documents after brainstorming, but these documents typically lack stateful design — after
-completing requirements, Specs only have tasks checked off in the document, and Agents even forget to check them off.
-This causes the Agent to re-examine documents and project code to verify on resumption, wasting many tokens.
-
-**Comet combines the strengths of both**, integrating the core workflow into 5 phases
+> Combining OpenSpec and Superpowers is not Comet's ultimate goal. We hope to track long-running skills like these and find the Harness capabilities that enable stable execution of long-running skills. If you are interested in participating, you are welcome to contribute to our project or learn from our source code.
 
-The main entry `/comet` supports current Spec state detection, suitable for long tasks — after closing your AI coding
-session midway, just `/comet` and Comet will automatically read the active Spec (lists multiple for selection),
-dynamically identify which phase is currently executing, and continue.
-
-At the same time, Comet provides full Spec lifecycle management. During execution, it links OpenSpec change/spec
-artifacts with Superpowers design and planning documents, then automates handoff, state updates, validation, and archive
-sync so users do not have to repeatedly remind the Agent to keep documents synchronized and connected.
+## Why Comet
 
-## What You'll Learn
+- **The stable core for long-running tasks** — Comet's Classic Spec mode combines OpenSpec and Superpowers with a state
+  machine, phase guards, and scripts that connect the full lifecycle. Agents can only do the work allowed in the current
+  phase and can only exit after the phase work is complete. The core flow can advance automatically, with HITL only at
+  moments that need your confirmation.
+- **Resumable workflow and intelligent routing** — Comet uses intent recognition to route each task toward the path it
+  needs. `/comet` remembers where a change stopped, supports zero-context recovery across devices, and removes the need
+  to memorize long Skill command names: use `/comet` to advance or resume your work.
+- **Skill platform** — Comet can author reusable Skill packages and use `/comet-any` to organize them into distributable
+  Bundles, so Skills you create can be distributed to coding platforms with one command, much like `comet init`.
+- **Eval platform** — Comet assesses your skills using scientific Rubric, Pass@k, and Pass^k scoring, ensuring skill evolution is based on scientific evidence rather than intuition. It supports integration with LangSmith assessments, bringing evaluation to real-world enterprise production environments. Its dual-agent architecture automates the assessment process in your production environment.
 
-Many excellent Skill projects exist in the current Skill market, but they generally have preference issues — users may
-only like some features. For example, when using both OpenSpec and Superpowers, one might only use OpenSpec's Spec
-management capabilities, but prefer Superpowers' TDD-driven approach for coding.
+## Extremely low memory threshold
 
-Long-term Skill users know these capabilities can be freely combined, but exactly how to do so still requires real
-practice. The Comet project can serve as a reference:
+With Comet, you only need to remember two skills and one command, covering coding, creation, and evaluation with an extremely low barrier to entry：
 
-- **How to reliably trigger nested Skills** — Not letting the Agent rely on document descriptions to perform "look-alike
-  Skill trigger" operations (like writing files based on Skill descriptions), but truly triggering Skills (key feature:
-  Skill trigger prints on CC). Comet triggers many capabilities from OpenSpec and Superpowers. How is this Prompt
-  written?
+- Use `/comet` for coding tasks
+- Use `/comet-any` to compose any Skills
+- Use `comet eval` to evaluate any Skill
 
-- **How to make combined Skills flow automatically across phases** — Not relying on manual intervention. Comet's 5-phase
-  flow can automatically trigger Skills for the core process except for necessary user choices, while the state machine
-  also protects state transition reliability.
+## Comet 0.4.0 Baseline Comparison
 
-- **How to turn the Spec lifecycle into a resumable workflow** — Comet links OpenSpec change/spec artifacts with
-  Superpowers design and planning documents, then records phase, execution mode, verification results, and archive
-  status in `.comet.yaml`, so the Agent can resume after interruption instead of rereading documents and guessing
-  progress.
+The following charts are from 16 Comet workflow tasks, with 5 samples per treatment, comparing no Comet, Comet 0.3.9, and Comet 0.4.0.
 
-- **How to turn document synchronization from "user reminders" into automation** — Comet puts handoff, state updates,
-  validation, and archive sync into scripted flows, reducing repeated prompts like "remember to update the design
-  doc", "remember to sync the spec", and "remember to archive the change".
+The core observations were the differences in Pass@5, Pass^5, and Rubric scores. The baseline without Comet Skills only validated business behavior.
 
-- **How to design guard conditions that Agents can execute** — Comet does not simply trust the Agent saying "done" at
-  phase exits. Scripts such as `comet-guard.sh`, `comet-yaml-validate.sh`, and `comet-state.sh` check tasks, state
-  fields, verification evidence, and archive conditions before allowing the workflow to advance.

+  <img src="https://github.com/rpamis/comet/blob/master/img/comet-eval-pass5.png" alt="Comet pass@5 and pass^5 baseline comparison" width="920">
+</p>
 
-- **How to distribute and install Skills across platforms** — Comet supports multiple AI coding platforms,
-  project/global installation, Chinese/English Skill choices, and platform-specific directory differences such as
-  Antigravity using different project-level and global paths. It can be a reference for CLI installers and Skill package
-  structure.
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="https://github.com/rpamis/comet/blob/master/img/comet-eval-rubric-core.png" alt="Comet core rubric and LLM-as-judge baseline comparison" width="920">
+</p>
 
-- **How to turn shell scripts into Agent workflow infrastructure** — Comet's scripts need to work across macOS, Linux,
-  and Windows Git Bash while handling hashes, YAML fields, state machines, and archive flows. It shows how to move
-  fragile workflow control out of scattered Prompt text and into testable, reusable tools.
+## From Industry-Frontier Practice
+
+Many Comet capabilities have parallels in current industry practice. 
+
+> To compare Comet with those patterns, see [Comet Docs](https://docs.comet.rpamis.com/zh/tech-blog/comet-vs-industry).
+
+## What You Can Learn
+
+- **How to reliably trigger nested Skills** — not by making an agent perform something that merely looks like a Skill
+  trigger, such as writing files based on a Skill description, but by actually triggering the Skill. Comet invokes many
+  OpenSpec and Superpowers capabilities, with trigger prompts refined through broad real-world practice.
+- **How to make composed Skills advance through multiple phases automatically** — not through manual intervention. Aside
+  from necessary user choices, Comet's five-phase flow can trigger core Skills automatically while the state machine keeps
+  transitions reliable.
+- **How to make a Spec lifecycle resumable** — Comet links OpenSpec change/spec artifacts with Superpowers design and
+  plan documents, then records phase, execution mode, verification result, and archive status in `.comet.yaml`, so an
+  agent can continue after interruption instead of rereading documents and guessing progress.
+- **How to turn doc synchronization from reminders into automation** — Comet scripts handoff, state updates, validation,
+  and archive sync, reducing repeated prompts such as "remember to update the design doc" or "remember to archive the
+  change."
+- **How to design guard conditions that agents can execute** — phase exits do not rely on an agent saying "done." Scripts
+  such as `comet-guard.mjs`, `comet-yaml-validate.mjs`, and `comet-state.mjs` check tasks, state fields, verification
+  evidence, and archive conditions before the workflow advances.
+- **How to distribute and install Skills across platforms** — Comet supports many AI coding platforms, project/global
+  install scopes, Chinese/English Skill variants, and platform-specific directories such as Antigravity's different
+  project/global paths.
+- **How to turn scripts into agent workflow infrastructure** — Comet scripts handle hashes, YAML fields, state machines,
+  and archive flow, showing how workflow control that is easy to scatter across prompts can become testable, reusable
+  tooling.
+- **How to evolve Skills through scientific evaluation** — Comet Eval supports structured rubric scoring plus Pass@k and
+  Pass^k metrics, with both local and LangSmith evaluation paths for production use.
+- **How to create Comet-like Skills intelligently** — `/comet-any` composes arbitrary Skills. You describe your Skill
+  preferences, and the agent handles stability-related hooks, rules, scripts, and referenced Skill files for you.

+<summary><code>comet eval [target]</code> — Evaluate Skills through the shared eval harness</summary>
+
+`comet eval` answers a simple question: does this Skill actually work reliably on standard tasks?
+
+The most common case is evaluating a Skill generated by `/comet-any`. Generated packages usually include
+`comet/eval.yaml`; pass that file to `comet eval` first:
+
+```bash
+comet eval ./generated-skill/comet/eval.yaml --collect
+comet eval ./generated-skill/comet/eval.yaml --html
+```
+
+The first command only performs discovery and preflight checks, confirming that the manifest, tasks, and dependency paths
+can be found before any expensive evaluation work runs. The second command runs local evaluation and writes a browsable
+report suitable for publish-readiness evidence. The report path is printed by the command and is usually under
+`eval/local/logs/experiments/<experiment-id>/summary.html`.
+
+If you do not have `comet/eval.yaml` yet and only have a local Skill directory, start with a low-cost smoke run:
+
+```bash
+comet eval ./my-skill --quick --html
+```
+
+That path is useful early on: it checks that the Skill directory can be read, injected into the eval harness, and run
+against the generic smoke task. For release evidence, prefer generating `comet/eval.yaml` through `/comet-any` and using
+the manifest path.
+
+### Reading Local Eval
+
+Local eval is the normal path for day-to-day development and pre-release checks. In the HTML report, look first at:
+
+- whether pass/fail and rubric scores match expectations
+- whether failures are attributed to the Skill, workflow, task, model, or environment/harness
+- whether expected artifacts are missing
+- whether token use, cost, or duration look unusual
+- whether the result is clean enough, or a specific task/treatment should be rerun
+
+If the report says `Insufficient clean data` or `Inconclusive due to data quality`, check auth, rate limits,
+Docker/container setup, network, and other environment issues before treating the run as a Skill-quality verdict.
+
+### LangSmith Eval
+
+Use the LangSmith suite when you want to sync eval results to LangSmith, or when your team wants to inspect runs, rubric
+feedback, costs, and Claude Code trajectories together. It reuses the same tasks, treatments, rubric, and
+`comet/eval.yaml`; the difference is that results are uploaded to LangSmith.
+
+Prepare dependencies and environment variables once:
+
+```bash
+cd eval
+uv sync --extra langsmith
+```
+
+```bash
+LANGSMITH_API_KEY=lsv2_pt_...
+LANGSMITH_PROJECT=comet-skill-eval
+LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
+```
+
+Then run the same manifest:
+
+```bash
+cd eval
+uv run pytest langsmith/tests/tasks/test_tasks.py \
+  --eval-manifest=/absolute/path/to/generated-skill/comet/eval.yaml -v
+```
+
+In PowerShell, set `$env:LANGSMITH_API_KEY`, `$env:LANGSMITH_PROJECT`, and `$env:LANGSMITH_TRACING`, or place them in
+`eval/.env`. See [eval/langsmith/README.md](eval/langsmith/README.md) for plugin cache and trajectory tracing details.
+
+### Which Path To Use
+
+- Day-to-day development: `comet eval ./my-skill --quick --html`
+- `/comet-any` output: `comet eval ./generated-skill/comet/eval.yaml --collect`, then rerun with `--html`
+- Publish evidence: prefer the local HTML report from `comet/eval.yaml`
+- Team tracing and side-by-side comparison: run the same `comet/eval.yaml` through the LangSmith suite

-### Core Principles
+### State Management
+
+Comet uses a decoupled state architecture with separate files
 
-- **Brainstorming is non-skippable** — every change must go through deep design (except hotfix/tweak)
-- **Delta specs are living documents** — freely editable during Phase 3, synced at archive
-- **Keep tasks.md in sync** — check off each task as completed
-- **Commit frequently** — one commit per task, message reflects design intent
-- **Verify before archive** — `/comet-verify` must pass before `/comet-archive`

+| File                        | Owner    | Purpose                                             |
+| --------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `.openspec.yaml`            | OpenSpec | Spec lifecycle, change metadata                     |
+| `.comet.yaml`               | Comet    | Workflow phase, execution mode, verification status |
+| `.comet/run-state.json`     | Engine   | Run identity and execution state (machine-owned)    |
+| `.comet/state-events.jsonl` | Comet    | Append-only state transition audit log              |
 
-Comet uses a decoupled state architecture with separate YAML files:
+`.comet.yaml` stores Classic workflow state and only keeps `run_id` as the link to the Engine Run. Machine-owned Engine
+state lives in `.comet/run-state.json` with camelCase fields such as `currentStep`, `status`, and `iteration`. Legacy
+Run fields left in YAML are migrated after compatibility reads, and `skill` is no longer a valid current
+`.comet.yaml` field.
 
-| File             | Owner    | Purpose                                             |
-|------------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------|
-| `.openspec.yaml` | OpenSpec | Spec lifecycle, change metadata                     |
-| `.comet.yaml`    | Comet    | Workflow phase, execution mode, verification status |
+Phase progression is handled consistently by the TypeScript transition table, `comet-state transition`,
+`comet-guard --apply`, and archive commands. Each successful progression appends an audit event to
+`.comet/state-events.jsonl` with the source, before/after state, and actual field changes.
 
-All states and execution phases are updated via scripts, and each phase verifies that tasks are truly complete before
-advancing. Compared to storing complex state rules only in Skill text, this script-backed state machine gives Comet more
-reliable phase transitions, correct YAML, and easier breakpoint recovery; agents can read the current Spec situation
-through Comet's built-in commands.
+This keeps Skill text focused on guiding the agent while scripts own state writes, phase checks, auditability, and
+breakpoint recovery. Agents can use Comet commands to know which phase the current Spec is in.

-In full workflow, `build_mode`, `build_pause`, `isolation`, `verify_mode`, `tdd_mode`, and `subagent_dispatch` may
-temporarily be `null`; `build_mode` and `isolation` must be resolved before `build → verify`. `auto_transition` controls automatic vs manual skill invocation after phase completion — see [AUTO-TRANSITION.md](docs/AUTO-TRANSITION.md). `build_pause` records an internal build-phase pause point:
-`null` means no pause, while `plan-ready` means the plan has been generated and the user paused before choosing
-isolation and execution mode. It is not an execution mode and must not be written into `build_mode`.
-`verification_report` stays `null` until verification writes a report, and `verify-pass` requires that report to exist
-plus `branch_status: handled`. Fields after `archived` in the example are optional or script-derived: `direct_override`
-is only needed for full-workflow direct builds, project commands may be absent unless configured, and
-`handoff_context` / `handoff_hash` are recorded by `comet-handoff.sh` before leaving design. Projects can configure
-`build_command` / `verify_command` in the change or repo root, and guard will run those commands first and print failure

+   - No manual state editing required — eliminates write-verification errors
+   - `comet-state.mjs` is the agents' exclusive interface for state operations
+   - Guard and archive scripts use `comet-state.mjs` internally for state management
 
-3. **Schema Validation** — `comet-yaml-validate.sh` ensures data integrity

-    - Validates enum values, including `direct_override`
-    - Validates `design_doc`, `plan`, and `handoff_context` paths exist, plus `handoff_hash` format
-    - Detects unknown/typos fields

 4. **Build Decision Enforcement** — Guard and state transitions both block skipped build choices
-    - `isolation` must be `branch` or `worktree`
-    - `build_mode` must be selected before leaving build
-    - `build_pause: plan-ready` is a recoverable pause after plan generation, not a `build_mode`
-    - Full workflow `build_mode: direct` requires `direct_override: true`

 5. **Verification Evidence** — Guard enforces proof before phase advance
-    - `verify-pass` transition requires `verification_report` pointing to an existing report file
-    - `branch_status` must be `handled` before verify can pass
-    - Guard checks `verification_report exists` and `branch_status=handled` as hard prerequisites
-    - Prevents false phase advances when verification or branch handling was skipped
-
-6. **Archive Automation** — `comet-archive.sh` handles the full archive flow in one command
-    - Validates entry state, merges delta specs into main specs through OpenSpec
-    - Annotates design doc and plan frontmatter
-    - Moves change to archive directory and updates `archived: true`
-    - Supports `--dry-run` for preview

+
+7. **Anti-drift Phase Guards** — Phase awareness for long-context sessions
+   - Rule layer: `comet-phase-guard.md` injects phase awareness, Skill invocation rules, and context recovery guidance
+     each turn across platforms
+   - Hook layer: `comet-hook-guard.mjs` hard-blocks file writes during open/design/archive phases on platforms that
+     support hooks, such as Claude Code
+   - Allowlisted paths: `openspec/*`, `docs/superpowers/*`, `.superpowers/*`, `.claude/*`, and `.comet/*`
