-- Clear, low-risk implementation request → implement directly with focused verification.
-- For simple clear implementation requests, direct tools are the default launch path. Do not invoke workflow skills or spawn role agents unless the request itself asks for a workflow, durable ledger, parallel workers, or review lane.
-- The workflow-intent-diff CustomEntry does not participate in LLM context; do not infer hidden workflow intent from launch plumbing.
-- Informational questions, bare `?`, and unambiguous explanatory prompts are answer-only/read-only: answer from available context and do not modify files, run commands, or execute workflows unless the user explicitly asks to change, run, implement, or execute something.
-- When a task is clear, bounded, and low-risk, make the smallest correct change and verify it; do not escalate to interviews, durable ledgers, or delegation for ceremony.
-- Small verification needs do not make a clear implementation request into a planning workflow.
-- Ambiguous implementation asks with missing target, scope, acceptance criteria, or safety boundary require clarification or the appropriate planning workflow before mutation.
-- Vague requirements → use `deep-interview`; clear requirements with non-trivial architecture/sequence risk → use `ralplan --deliberate` and stop at pending approval.
-- Architecture/sequence risk that is clear enough to plan but not safe to execute directly → use `ralplan --deliberate` and stop at pending approval.
-- Durable goal ledger needed → use `ultragoal`; approved work that benefits from coordinated persistent workers → use `team`.
-- Large enough implementation work → delegate bounded slices to `executor`; use `planner`, `architect`, and `critic` for bounded planning/review lanes when a full workflow is unnecessary.
-- Treat root-cause phase schema workflows as special-purpose gates only for contradiction, regression, or high-risk transition analysis; do not apply them to ordinary clear fixes.
-- Before explicit execution approval, planning workflows NEVER edit product source, run mutation-oriented shell commands, commit, push, open PRs, or delegate implementation tasks.
+- Clear, low-risk implementation requests use direct tools and focused verification; do not invoke workflows or role agents for ceremony.
+- Informational questions are answer-only/read-only unless the user explicitly requests a change, command, or execution.
+- Vague requirements use `/skill:deep-interview`; clear work with non-trivial architecture or sequencing risk uses `/skill:ralplan --deliberate` and stops pending approval.

+- For static web content (articles, docs, issues/PRs, JSON, PDFs, feeds), prefer the `read` tool with a URL. Use this tool only when you need JS execution, authentication, or interactive actions.
 - Four actions:
-  - `open` — acquire (or reuse) a named tab. `name` defaults to `"main"`. Optional `url` navigates after the tab is ready. Optional `viewport` sets dimensions. Optional `dialogs: "accept" | "dismiss"` auto-handles `alert`/`confirm`/`beforeunload` so navigation/clicks don't hang (default: leave dialogs unhandled — page hangs until caller wires `page.on('dialog', …)`).
-  - `close` — release a tab by `name`, or every tab with `all: true`. For spawned-app browsers, set `kill: true` to terminate the process tree (default leaves it running).
-  - `act` — run a list of structured `actions` against an existing tab without writing JS (preferred for routine navigation/interaction). Each step is `{ verb, … }`; verbs: `navigate {url, wait_until?}`, `click {id|selector}`, `type {id|selector, text}`, `fill {selector, value}`, `select {selector, values}`, `press {key, selector?}`, `scroll {dx?, dy?}`, `back`, `wait {selector?|ms?}`, `observe {viewport_only?, include_all?}`, `extract {format?}`, `screenshot`. Address elements by the numeric `id` from a prior `observe` (preferred) or a selector. Steps run in order; the tool returns an array of per-step results (observations/extracted content included). Use `run` only when a verb does not cover what you need.
-  - `run` — execute JS against an existing tab. `code` is the body of an async function with `page`, `browser`, `tab`, `display`, `assert`, `wait` in scope. The function's return value is JSON-stringified into the tool result; multiple `display(value)` calls accumulate text/images.
+  - `open` — acquire (or reuse) a named tab. `name` defaults to `"main"`. Optional `url`, `viewport`, and `dialogs: "accept" | "dismiss"` (auto-handles `alert`/`confirm`/`beforeunload`). The `app` field selects the browser kind (spawned binary, saved Chrome profile, or existing CDP endpoint); omitted means headless Chromium with stealth patches.
+  - `close` — release a tab by `name`, or every tab with `all: true`. `kill: true` also terminates a spawned-app process tree.

Each step is `{ verb, … }`; verbs: `navigate {url, wait_until?}`, `click {id|selector}`, `type {id|selector, text}`, `fill {selector, value}`, `select {selector, values}`, `press {key, selector?}`, `scroll {dx?, dy?}`, `back`, `wait {selector?|ms?}`, `observe {viewport_only?, include_all?}`, `extract {format?}`, `screenshot`. Address elements by the numeric `id` from a prior `observe` (preferred) or a selector. Steps run in order; the tool returns per-step results.
+  - `run` — execute JS against an existing tab. `code` is the body of an async function with `page`, `browser`, `tab`, `display`, `assert`, `wait` in scope. The return value is JSON-stringified into the tool result; `display(value)` calls accumulate text/images. Use `run` only when an `act` verb does not cover what you need.
 - Tabs survive across `run` calls and across in-process subagents. Open once, reuse many times.
-- Browser kinds, selected by the `app` field on `open`:
-  - default (no `app`) → headless Chromium with stealth patches.
-  - `app.path` → spawn an absolute binary (Electron/CDP). If a running instance already exposes a CDP port, it is reused; otherwise stale instances are killed and a fresh one is spawned. Do not use this for a daily Chrome profile; use `app.browser: "chrome"` instead.
-  - `app.browser: "chrome"` + `app.path` + `app.user_data_dir` + `app.profile_directory` → use an existing saved Chrome profile. SKC binds CDP to `127.0.0.1` on an ephemeral or `app.cdp_port` port, reuses a matching running profile only when it already exposes attachable localhost CDP, refuses a matching non-CDP running profile instead of killing/relaunching it, and kills only the Chrome process SKC launched. Externally-owned CDP is disconnect-only. `app.background`/`app.no_focus` add Chromium's `--no-startup-window` guard; focus avoidance is best-effort and platform-dependent.
-  - `app.cdp_url` → connect to an existing CDP endpoint (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:9222`). For logged-in profiles, only expose CDP on localhost and treat the endpoint as full browser-account access.
-  - `app.target` (with `path`/`cdp_url`/Chrome profile) — substring matched against url+title to pick a BrowserWindow when the app exposes several.
-- Inside `run`, `tab` exposes high-level helpers; reach for `page` (raw puppeteer Page) when you need anything they don't cover.
-  - `tab.goto(url, { waitUntil? })` — clears the element cache and navigates.
-  - `tab.observe({ includeAll?, viewportOnly? })` — accessibility snapshot. Returns `{ url, title, viewport, scroll, elements: [{ id, role, name, value, states, … }] }`. Element ids are stable until the next observe/goto.
-  - `tab.id(n)` — resolves an element id from the most recent observe to a real `ElementHandle` you can `.click()`, `.type()`, etc.
-  - `tab.click(selector)` / `tab.type(selector, text)` / `tab.fill(selector, value)` / `tab.press(key, { selector? })` / `tab.scroll(dx, dy)` — selector-based actions.
-  - `tab.waitFor(selector)` — waits until the selector is attached, returns the resolved `ElementHandle` for chaining (e.g. `const btn = await tab.waitFor('text/Submit'); await btn.click();`).
-  - `tab.drag(from, to)` — drag from one point to another. Each endpoint is either a selector string (drag center-to-center) or a `{ x, y }` viewport-coordinate point (e.g. for canvases, sliders).
-  - `tab.scrollIntoView(selector)` — scroll the matching element to the center of the viewport (use before clicking off-screen elements).
-  - `tab.select(selector, …values)` — set the selected option(s) on a `<select>`. Returns the values that ended up selected. `tab.fill` NEVER works for selects.
-  - `tab.uploadFile(selector, …filePaths)` — attach files to an `<input type="file">`. Paths resolve relative to cwd.
-  - `tab.waitForUrl(pattern, { timeout? })` — pattern is a substring or `RegExp`. Polls `location.href` so it works for SPA pushState navigations, not just real navigations. Returns the matched URL.
-  - `tab.waitForResponse(pattern, { timeout? })` — pattern is a substring, `RegExp`, or `(response) => boolean`. Returns the raw puppeteer `HTTPResponse` (call `.text()` / `.json()` / `.status()` / `.headers()` on it).
-  - `tab.evaluate(fn, …args)` — sugar for `page.evaluate` with the abort signal already wired. Use this instead of dropping to `page.evaluate` for ad-hoc DOM reads.
-  - `tab.screenshot({ selector?, fullPage?, save?, silent? })` — auto-attaches the image to the tool output unless `silent: true`. Saves full-res to `save` (or `browser.screenshotDir` setting) and a downscaled copy to the model.
-  - `tab.extract(format = "markdown")` — Readability-extracted page content.
-- Selectors accept CSS as well as puppeteer query handlers: `aria/Sign in`, `text/Continue`, `xpath/…`, `pierce/…`. Playwright-style `p-aria/[name="…"]`, `p-text/…`, etc. are normalized.
-- Default to `tab.observe()` over `tab.screenshot()` for understanding page state. Screenshot only when visual appearance matters.
+- Browser kinds: no `app` launches headless Chromium; `app.path` reuses CDP or kills stale same-path processes before spawning — NEVER use it for a daily Chrome profile; use explicit `app.browser: "chrome"` profile mode instead. Saved-profile/CDP automation has access to that profile's cookies and authenticated accounts. Profile mode refuses a matching non-CDP Chrome instead of killing/relaunching it, and `kill: true` can terminate only a Chrome process SKC launched; `app.cdp_url` is externally owned and disconnect-only. CDP must stay on `127.0.0.1`: it grants full browser-account access.
+- Inside `run`, `tab` exposes high-level helpers (`goto`, `observe`, `id`, `click`, `type`, `fill`, `press`, `waitFor`, `screenshot`, `extract`, …); reach for `page` (raw puppeteer Page) when they don't cover it.

 - You MUST call `open` before `run` or `act`. Neither implicitly creates a tab.
-- You NEVER screenshot just to "see what's on the page" — `tab.observe()` returns structured data with element ids you can act on immediately.
+- You MUST observe before taking a screenshot to understand page state; screenshot only when visual appearance matters.
 - After a `tab.goto()` or any navigation, prior element ids from `tab.observe()` are invalidated. Re-observe before referencing them.
