 ## SKILL GOAL
 
-Make the code work, then prove it works. Wire execute's output into the project, run the toolchain, write tests that exercise the real system from the outside, and fix what's broken. This skill only runs for code projects — non-code deliverables complete at execute.
+Make the code work for real. Wire execute's output into the project, figure out everything the system needs to actually run — services, databases, environment, infrastructure — and walk the user through standing it up. Once they confirm it's live, test the running system against the discovery brief's North Star.
 
-The discovery brief's North Star is the ultimate test: does the running system deliver the experience it promised?
+No mocks. No "verified against synthetic data." Either it works or it doesn't.
 
 ## CRITICAL RULES
 
 1. You MUST read `.project-memory-state.json` and resolve context_path before anything else.
 2. You MUST read `{context_path}/discovery_brief.md`, `{context_path}/tasks.json`, `{context_path}/build_output.json`, and `docs/project_notes/project_map.md`.
-3. You MUST integrate before testing. Code that isn't wired in can't be meaningfully tested.
-4. You MUST NOT write unit tests that test implementation internals. Tests exercise the system from the outside — smoke tests and experience-slice tests only.
-5. You MUST NOT fix failures that violate user decisions from the specs. Escalate immediately.
-6. You MUST delegate integration tasks and test writing to subagents. Do not write code yourself.
-7. You MUST verify against the discovery brief after all tests pass — does the system deliver the North Star?
-8. You MUST update `docs/project_notes/project_map.md` if integration reveals new information.
+3. You MUST integrate before anything else. Code that isn't wired in can't run.

+### STEP 4: READINESS CHECKLIST
+
+This is where you figure out everything the system needs to actually start and run — not just compile.
+
+#### 4a. Research Prerequisites
+
+Spawn an `intuition-researcher` agent:
+
+"Analyze the full codebase to identify every external dependency the system needs at runtime. Look at:
+- Database connections (connection strings, migrations, seed data)
+- External API integrations (keys, endpoints, auth tokens, OAuth registrations)
+- Environment variables (every env var referenced in the code)
+- Infrastructure services (message queues, caches, file storage, etc.)
+- Configuration files that need real values (not template/example values)
+- Network requirements (ports, domains, certificates)
+- Platform-specific setup (cloud permissions, service registrations, shared resources)
+- Data requirements (initial data loads, imports, reference data)
+
+For each dependency, report: what it is, where in the code it's referenced, whether it has a default/fallback or is required, and what happens if it's missing."
+
+#### 4b. Build the Checklist
+
+From the researcher's findings plus context from the discovery brief (which describes the deployment environment), build a concrete readiness checklist. Group items by category.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+## Readiness Checklist
+
+To get this system running, here's what needs to be set up:
+
+### [Category: e.g., Database]
+- [ ] [Specific action — e.g., "Create PostgreSQL database 'staff_coverage'"]
+- [ ] [Next action — e.g., "Run migrations: alembic upgrade head"]
+
+### [Category: e.g., External Services]
+- [ ] [Specific action]
+  - I can help with: [what you can assist with — e.g., "generating the config file, writing the migration"]
+  - You'll need to: [what requires human action — e.g., "create the Azure AD app registration, grant admin consent"]
+
+### [Category: e.g., Environment]
+- [ ] [Specific action]
+
+...
+```
+
+For each item, be specific about:
+- **What** needs to happen (exact commands, exact config values where known)
+- **Where** it's referenced in the code (so the user can verify)
+- **What you can help with** vs. **what requires their action** (admin portals, credentials, infrastructure access)
+
+#### 4c. Present to User
+
+Present the readiness checklist via AskUserQuestion:
+
+```
+Question: "[The readiness checklist from 4b]
+
+Let's work through these. Which would you like to tackle first, or is anything already set up?"
+Header: "Getting It Running"
+```
+
+### STEP 5: ASSISTED SETUP
+
+Work through the checklist with the user interactively. For each item:
+
+- If you can do it (write config files, run migrations, generate boilerplate): offer to do it and execute when approved.
+- If it requires their action (portal configuration, credential creation, infrastructure provisioning): give them exact instructions and wait for confirmation.
+- If it requires both: do your part, then tell them what's left.
+
+After each item is addressed, try to start the relevant component and verify it connects. For example:
+- After database setup: try connecting and running a basic query
+- After API credentials: try a test request to the service
+- After environment config: try importing/starting the app
+
+When something fails, diagnose and help fix it before moving on.
+
+#### Completion Gate
+
+When the user confirms the system is running (or you've verified it starts and connects to all services), present:
+
+```
+Question: "System is up. Ready to run tests against the live application?"
+Header: "Ready for Testing"
+Options:
+- "Run tests"
+- "Not yet — still setting up [specify]"
+```
+
+Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until the user confirms.

-## STEP 4: SMOKE TESTS
+### STEP 6: SMOKE TESTS
 
-Smoke tests verify the system actually runs. They exercise real code paths, not mocks.
+Smoke tests verify the live system responds correctly. They hit the real running application — no test servers, no mocks, no in-memory substitutes.
 
-### What Smoke Tests Cover
+#### What Smoke Tests Cover
 
-- **Startup**: Does the app/server/process start without errors?
-- **Main entry points**: Do the primary routes/endpoints/commands respond?
-- **Core dependencies**: Do external connections initialize? (Database connects, API keys validate, etc.)
-- **Happy path**: One simple request through the main flow — does it complete?
+- **Liveness**: Does the running app respond to requests?
+- **Main entry points**: Do the primary routes/endpoints/commands return non-error responses?
+- **Core dependencies**: Does the app actually talk to its database, APIs, etc.? (Verify with a request that exercises a real dependency path)
+- **Happy path**: One simple request through the main flow — does it complete end-to-end?

-You are writing smoke tests. These tests verify the system ACTUALLY RUNS — not that individual functions return correct values.

 Test framework: [detected framework from Step 2a]
 Test conventions: [naming, directory from existing tests]
+App URL / entry point: [how to reach the running system]
 
 What to test:
-- App startup (import the app, verify no crash)
-- Main entry points respond (hit routes, verify non-error status codes)
-- Core flow completes (one end-to-end request through the primary path)
+- App responds to health/root requests
+- Main entry points return successful responses
+- At least one request that touches the database returns real data
+- One end-to-end request through the primary flow completes
 
 Rules:
-- Actually start the app/server in the test
-- Make real HTTP requests or function calls — no mocking the system under test
-- Mock ONLY external services (databases, third-party APIs) that aren't available in test
-- Each test should take < 5 seconds
-- If a test fails, it means the system is broken — not that a detail is wrong
+- The system is ALREADY RUNNING. Tests make real requests to it.
+- NO mocks. NO in-memory databases. NO test servers. You hit the live app.
+- If a test needs data to exist, create it through the app's own API first (setup), then clean it up after (teardown).
+- Each test should take < 10 seconds.
+- If a test fails, it means the live system is broken — not that a mock is misconfigured.
