+
+## External Repo Mode (--external)
+
+When invoked as `/rune autopsy --external <github-url>`, evaluate someone else's repo for dependency / fork / contribution decisions. Different use case from rescue mode: you cannot run their tests, cannot rely on local Read, and the decision frame is "should I trust this?" not "how do I rescue this?".
+
+### When to use --external
+
+- Evaluating a library before adding it as a dependency
+- Deciding whether to fork an abandoned project
+- Choosing between competing implementations (`autopsy --external A vs B`)
+- Diligence on a candidate acquisition target
+- Pre-graft assessment (cross-skill: feeds into `graft`)
+
+### External Execution Steps
+
+#### Step 1 — Repo Intelligence (no local clone needed)
+
+Use `gh api` exclusively — do NOT `git clone`. Faster + cleaner.
+
+```bash
+URL="$1"  # e.g., github.com/anthropics/claude-code
+OWNER_REPO=$(echo "$URL" | sed -E 's|https?://github.com/||; s|/$||')
+
+# Core metadata
+gh api "repos/${OWNER_REPO}" --jq '{
+  name, full_name, description, language, license: .license.spdx_id,
+  stars: .stargazers_count, forks: .forks_count, watchers: .subscribers_count,
+  open_issues: .open_issues_count, default_branch,
+  created: .created_at, updated: .updated_at, pushed: .pushed_at,
+  archived, disabled, topics
+}'
+
+# Maintainer responsiveness (issue + PR close rates)
+gh api "repos/${OWNER_REPO}/issues?state=closed&per_page=100" --jq '
+  [.[] | select(.pull_request == null) | (.closed_at | fromdateiso8601) - (.created_at | fromdateiso8601)] | add / length / 86400'   # avg days-to-close
+
+gh api "repos/${OWNER_REPO}/pulls?state=closed&per_page=100" --jq '
+  [.[] | select(.merged_at != null) | (.merged_at | fromdateiso8601) - (.created_at | fromdateiso8601)] | add / length / 86400'   # avg PR merge time
+
+# Release cadence (last 10 releases)
+gh api "repos/${OWNER_REPO}/releases?per_page=10" --jq '[.[] | {tag: .tag_name, published: .published_at, prerelease}]'
+
+# Security advisories
+gh api "repos/${OWNER_REPO}/security-advisories" --jq 'length' 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
+
+# Dependabot alerts (if accessible — usually not for external repos)
+gh api "repos/${OWNER_REPO}/dependabot/alerts" --jq 'length' 2>/dev/null || echo "n/a"
+```
+
+#### Step 2 — Decision Rubric (not Health Scoring)
+
+External evaluation uses a DIFFERENT rubric than internal rescue. Internal cares about complexity; external cares about TRUST.
+
+Score 0-100 across five dimensions:
+
+| Dimension | Weight | Scoring criteria |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Activity** | 25% | Last push < 30d = 100, < 90d = 80, < 1yr = 50, < 2yr = 20, > 2yr = 0 |
+| **Maintainership** | 25% | Avg issue-close < 7d = 100, < 30d = 70, < 90d = 40, > 90d = 10. Contributor count: > 10 = bonus +15, 2-10 = no change, 1 = penalty -20 (bus factor) |
+| **Adoption** | 15% | Stars × (production-use signal from dependents): > 10k = 100, > 1k = 70, > 100 = 40, < 100 = 10. Dependent-repo count (via `gh api repos/X/Y/network/dependents` if available) is the production-use proxy |
+| **License** | 20% | Permissive (MIT/Apache/BSD) = 100. Weak copyleft (MPL/LGPL) = 80. Strong copyleft (GPL) = 40. None / proprietary = 0. Verify SPDX field; flag if `null` |
+| **Security** | 15% | 0 open advisories + recent CVEs addressed = 100. 1-2 unaddressed = 50. > 3 OR critical unaddressed > 30 days = 0. Audit log: check for force-push to default branch, suspicious release commits |
+
+Composite score with same risk tiers as internal mode (80+ healthy, 60-79 watch, 40-59 at-risk, 0-39 critical).
+
+#### Step 3 — Architecture Extraction (without reading every file)
+
+You can't Read every file in an external repo. Extract architecture via metadata:
+
+- **Top-level structure** via `gh api repos/X/Y/contents/` (folder names = module boundaries)
+- **Tech stack** via root manifest files: `package.json` (deps), `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`. Fetch with `gh api repos/X/Y/contents/package.json --jq .content | base64 -d`
+- **Test infrastructure** via existence of `tests/`, `__tests__/`, `*_test.go`, etc. (use `gh api repos/X/Y/git/trees/HEAD?recursive=1 --jq '.tree[].path' | grep -E '_test|spec'`)
+- **CI config** via `.github/workflows/`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, etc. (presence = quality signal; recent green builds via `gh api repos/X/Y/actions/runs?status=success&per_page=5`)
+- **Documentation depth** via README size + `docs/` folder existence
+- **ADRs** via search: `gh api search/code -X GET --field q="repo:owner/repo path:docs filename:adr*"`
+
+#### Step 4 — Comparative Mode (optional)
+
+When called as `/rune autopsy --external A --external B`, produce side-by-side comparison:
+
+```markdown
+| Dimension       | Repo A        | Repo B        | Winner |
+|-----------------|---------------|---------------|--------|
+| Activity        | 95 (active)   | 30 (stale)    | A      |
+| Maintainership  | 80            | 60            | A      |
+| Adoption        | 70            | 90            | B      |
+| License         | 100 (MIT)     | 40 (GPL)      | A      |
+| Security        | 100 (clean)   | 85 (1 open)   | A      |
+| **Composite**   | **89**        | **57**        | **A**  |
+
+Recommendation: A — significantly healthier on 4/5 dimensions.
+```
+
+#### Step 5 — Output
+
+Write `EXTERNAL-REPO-REPORT.md` at project root (or operator-specified path):
+
+```markdown

+
+## Recommendation
+[DEPEND | FORK | CONTRIBUTE | AVOID] with rationale grounded in the dimensions above. If FORK is recommended, link to the activity signal showing why (e.g., "last push > 1 year + 12 unaddressed PRs + critical bug filed").
+```
+
+### External Mode Constraints
+
+1. MUST use `gh api` only — do NOT `git clone` (external mode is API-driven by design; clones add ~30 seconds + disk usage for no analytical gain)
+2. MUST compute all 5 dimensions OR explicitly mark "insufficient data" for any that can't be measured (e.g., no advisories endpoint access)
+3. MUST cap confidence at Medium for external evaluations — internal Read-based scoring is High; external API-only is Medium at best
+4. MUST output decision verdict (DEPEND / FORK / CONTRIBUTE / AVOID) — not "needs more research"
+5. MUST flag license compatibility if SPDX is `null`, GPL, or proprietary
+6. MUST NOT skip Security dimension even if API returns empty — explicitly note "no advisories found" vs "advisories endpoint inaccessible"
+
+### Graceful Degradation (External Mode)
+
+- If `gh` CLI not authenticated: fall back to `curl` with `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var; document rate-limit risk (60 unauth / 5000 auth per hour)
+- If repo is private + no auth: report partial — public-API-only signals; flag confidence as Low
+- If repo is fork: trace upstream and offer "compare with upstream" sub-option
+- If repo is archived: auto-flag — composite caps at 30 regardless of other dimensions; archived repos are AVOID by default unless operator overrides
+
+### Hand-offs (External Mode)
+
+External evaluation produces a verdict that flows to other skills:
+
+- DEPEND → cross-skill: `dependency-doctor` for vulnerability scan integration
+- FORK → cross-skill: `graft` to plan the fork + adapt
+- CONTRIBUTE → cross-skill: `review-intake` (PR-style workflow for the contribution)
+- AVOID → terminate; document rationale in `.rune/decisions/`

+## Managed vs Self-Host Crossover
+
+Production deploys frequently default to "managed" (Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, etc.) for speed-of-setup, then quietly bleed budget as scale grows. The opposite mistake — self-hosting at 10K MAU "to save money" — wastes more engineering time than the bill it saves. The crossover point is workload-dependent. Defaults below are heuristic; verify against operator's actual bill before recommending a switch.
+
+| Workload | Stay managed until ~ | Self-host above | Reason |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Auth (Clerk, Auth0, Supabase auth)** | 200K MAU | 200K+ MAU AND auth-customization needs | Per-MAU pricing kicks 5-10× at scale; OSS alternatives (better-auth, Keycloak) have mature implementations |
+| **Search (Algolia, Typesense Cloud)** | 500K records OR 100K queries/mo | Beyond either | Per-record + per-query stacks; OpenSearch/Meilisearch self-host crosses over at this volume |
+| **Database (managed Postgres — Supabase, Neon, RDS)** | $500/mo bill | $500+ bill AND ops capacity exists | Below $500 the on-call burden of self-host dominates; above $500 the savings cover an engineer's bandwidth |
+| **Object storage (S3, R2, Backblaze)** | Almost never self-host | Petabyte-scale + bandwidth-heavy use | S3-class storage is hard to beat below 10PB; cross-region egress is usually the real cost lever |
+| **Email (SendGrid, Resend, Postmark)** | Almost never self-host | Compliance-driven requirement only | SMTP reputation + deliverability take years to build; running mail server for cost is false economy |
+| **CDN (Cloudflare, Fastly)** | Almost never self-host | Edge-compute customization + > 100TB/mo egress | Cloudflare free tier alone covers most projects; CDN self-host is rarely the right answer |
+| **Compute (Vercel/Netlify/Workers)** | $300-500/mo bill | $500+/mo AND traffic stable | Below $500 the operational overhead of K8s/Fly/VPS dominates; above, dedicated container hosting wins |
+| **Vector DB (Pinecone, Weaviate Cloud)** | $200/mo OR < 10M vectors | $200+ AND vectors > 10M | Self-hosted Qdrant/Milvus crosses over at moderate scale |
+| **Queue (SQS, Cloud Tasks)** | Almost never self-host | Latency-critical sub-5ms only | Per-message pricing is low; self-host (RabbitMQ, NATS) only when latency SLO < 5ms |
+
+**Operator decision rule**: do NOT migrate to self-host purely on bill size. Verify all three:
+1. **Bill threshold crossed** (per table above)
+2. **Ops bandwidth exists** (someone on-call who can run the service)
+3. **Customization need exists** (the managed service blocks something specific)
+
+If only (1) is true, recommend WARN `MANAGED_OK_AT_SCALE — bill above crossover but ops bandwidth not validated — keep managed; revisit when (2)+(3) also true`.
+
+**Reverse scenario**: prematurely self-hosting at < 10K MAU costs more engineering time than the managed bill it avoids. Flag with `PREMATURE_SELFHOST — [resource] self-hosted at [N] usage — managed equivalent < $X/mo + zero ops burden — strong recommendation: migrate to managed unless customization (3) is blocking`.
+
+**Cost-allocation precondition**: even within managed services, ALL cloud resources must carry allocation tags (Environment, Team, Service, CostCenter). Without tags, anomaly detection is impossible and any "managed is expensive" claim is unfalsifiable. Step 1 pre-deploy check should add:
+
+```bash
+# Verify cost allocation tags exist on managed resources
+# AWS: aws resourcegroupstaggingapi get-resources --tag-filters Key=Environment
+# GCP: gcloud asset search-all-resources --query='labels:environment'
+# Vercel: project settings → check team/project tagging
+# If untagged → BLOCK with COST_UNATTRIBUTED finding
+```
+
+## Observability Cost in Deploys
+
+Production observability (Datadog, Sentry, New Relic, Honeycomb, Logtail) bills can rival compute bills if shipped with default config. Verify before first prod deploy:
+
+| Layer | Default that bleeds money | Correct config |
+|---|---|---|
+| Log retention | 30+ days at INFO | 7 days INFO, 30 days WARN+, archive cold for compliance |
+| Trace sampling | Head-based 100% | Tail-based 5-10% normal + 100% on error/slow |
+| Metrics | High-cardinality custom dims (user_id, trace_id) | Pre-aggregate at agent; per-event = log not metric |
+| RUM (Real User Monitoring) | 100% session capture | 10-20% sample + 100% on rage-click/error |
+
+This overlaps with `perf` Step 8.6 (Observability Cost Control). `perf` finds the code patterns that emit overheavy telemetry; `deploy` ensures the platform-side ingestion + retention defaults are configured before the first prod release where the bill compounds.

 Bonus: use `text-wrap: pretty` on headings to prevent widow words. One line, zero ceremony.
 
+#### Rule 4 — Measurable Constraints, Not Vague Directives
+
+Every design rule written into `.rune/design-system.md` MUST be measurable. Vague directives are not constraints — they are decoration. A reviewer cannot enforce "use modern typography"; they CAN enforce "Inter 96/64/40/24/16 px on an 8 px grid."
+
+| Vague (reject) | Measurable (accept) |
+|---|---|
+| "Use modern typography" | "Inter 96/64/40/24/16 px on an 8 px grid" |
+| "Subtle shadows" | "0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.05) (sm), 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.07) (md)" |
+| "Brand-aligned color" | "Accent: oklch(65% 0.2 255); hover: oklch(from var(--accent) calc(l - 0.08) c h)" |
+| "Good contrast" | "All text/bg pairs ≥ 4.5:1 (WCAG AA), large text ≥ 3:1" |
+| "Tasteful spacing" | "8 px grid: every margin, padding, line-height a multiple of 8" |
+| "Real content, not lorem ipsum" | "Use the user's actual data; if missing, ship a labelled `[ PLACEHOLDER: content-type ]` block" |
+
+#### Rule 5 — No Pure Black, No Pure White, No Lorem Ipsum
+
+Three small forbids that catch the highest-frequency AI tells:
+
+1. **No `#000` or `#fff`** for any default text or background. Both crush perceived depth and read as "default browser styles." Use `oklch(98% 0 0)` / `oklch(8% 0 0)` (or domain-appropriate neutrals) and derive surfaces from them.
+2. **No lorem ipsum / "Lorem ipsum dolor"** anywhere in shipped output. Either use the user's real data, or ship a labelled `[ PLACEHOLDER: hero-headline ]` block (same pattern as Rule 2 SVG placeholder). Lorem ipsum is the #2 AI tell after malformed SVG.
+3. **No `outline: none` without a `:focus-visible` replacement.** Already covered by Pre-Delivery Checklist; restated here so it lives next to the other two highest-impact forbids.
+
+#### Rule 6 — CJK-First Font Stack (Multi-Language Products Only)
+
+If the product ships in Chinese / Japanese / Korean (or mixes CJK with Latin), the font stack MUST list a CJK-capable family FIRST, with Latin as fallback:
+
+```css
+/* GOOD: CJK-first, Latin fallback */
+font-family: "Noto Sans SC", "Source Han Sans SC", "Inter", system-ui, sans-serif;
+
+/* BAD: Latin-first — Chinese characters render in browser fallback (PingFang, Heiti) and break rhythm */
+font-family: "Inter", "Noto Sans SC", system-ui;
+```
+
+For prose / serif: `"Noto Serif SC" / "Source Han Serif SC" / "Manrope"`. For monospace: `"JetBrains Mono" / "Sarasa Mono SC"` (Sarasa unifies CJK + Latin metrics). Skip this rule entirely if the product is Latin-only — listing CJK fonts you don't need slows first-paint.
