+### AC Framework Core Skills
+
+| Skill | Description | Primary Use | Required Before |
+|-------|-------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| `acfm-spec-workflow` | **START HERE - MANDATORY** - Understand the spec-driven workflow, directory structure (.acfm/ vs openspec/), and CLI commands. Essential before using any OpenSpec skills. | Foundation | **ANYTHING ELSE** |
+| `acfm-memory` | **AUTONOMOUS MEMORY SYSTEM** - Persistent learning system that automatically saves important decisions, patterns, bugfixes. Use to recall context from previous changes and maintain knowledge across sessions. | Knowledge persistence | **AFTER ANY SIGNIFICANT WORK** |
+
+
+### Memory System (Automatic)
+
+The AC Framework includes an **autonomous memory system** that learns from your work:
+
+**What gets saved automatically:**
+- Architectural decisions from proposals/designs
+- Bugfix patterns and solutions
+- Performance optimizations
+- Refactoring techniques
+- Security fixes
+- API patterns and conventions
+
+**How to use memory:**
+```bash
+# Recall relevant context before starting work
+acfm memory recall "implementing authentication"
+
+# Search for specific patterns
+acfm memory search "JWT token refresh"
+
+# Get full context for current project
+acfm memory recall
+
+# View statistics
+acfm memory stats
+```
+
+**When the agent saves memory (automatic):**
+1. After completing proposal.md (saves architectural decisions)
+2. After fixing bugs (solutions are stored)
+3. After refactoring (techniques are recorded)
+4. After optimizations (performance insights)
+5. After any significant decision with confidence > 0.7
+
+**The agent will inform you:** "💾 Memory saved: [brief description]" when auto-saving occurs.
+
+**Privacy:** Content between `<private>...</private>` tags is automatically redacted before saving.

+## 📍 CRITICAL: How to Use Skills - ZERO SKIP POLICY
+
+### ⛔ BLOCKING RULES - YOU CANNOT PROCEED WITHOUT THESE:
+
+**Rule 1: Phase Completion Checkpoint**
+After EACH phase, you MUST confirm completion:
+```
+╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
+║  ⚠️  PHASE [X] COMPLETION CHECKPOINT                      ║
+╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
+║  Have you COMPLETED ALL skills in Phase [X]?              ║
+║  [ ] Yes - I have read and executed every skill           ║
+║  [ ] No - I need to go back                               ║
+╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
+```
+**IF NO: STOP. Go back and complete missing skills.**
+
+**Rule 2: Skill Dependency Chain**
+Each skill table above shows "Required Before". You CANNOT use a skill until its dependency is satisfied.
+
+**Rule 3: Output Verification**
+Before proceeding to next phase, verify you have these outputs:
+
+| Phase | Required Outputs | Check |
+|-------|-----------------|-------|
+| Phase 0 | `acfm spec status` shows initialized | [ ] |
+| Phase 1 | project-constitution.md defined | [ ] |
+| Phase 2 | project-index.md exists, exploration notes | [ ] |
+| Phase 3 | proposal.md, specs/, design.md, tasks.md | [ ] |
+| Phase 4 | Tests written, code implemented, tasks marked complete | [ ] |
+| Phase 5 | Verification passed, docs updated, change archived | [ ] |
+
+**Rule 4: Pre-Implementation Safety Check**
+Before `openspec-apply-change`, ALL must be TRUE:
+- [ ] tasks.md exists and has checkboxes
+- [ ] All tests from `test-generator` are written
+- [ ] design.md has been reviewed
+- [ ] spec-analysis shows consistency
+
+**IF ANY IS FALSE: STOP. Complete missing items.**

+**Conditional Skills Notes:**
+- `[IF APIs]`: Use api-design-principles only if modifying/creating REST/GraphQL APIs
+- `[IF UI]`: Use interface-design only if modifying dashboards, admin panels, or apps
+- `project-index`: Run only if you haven't indexed the project yet or need to refresh context
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Skill Loading Reference
+
+All skills are located in: `skills/`
+
+To load a skill, read its SKILL.md file:
+- Example: Read `skills/spec-clarification/SKILL.md` to use the clarification workflow
+- Example: Read `skills/interface-design/SKILL.md` to use interface design principles
+
+### ⛔ MANDATORY SKILL EXECUTION CHECKLIST
+
+Before claiming a skill is "done", verify:
+- [ ] I have read the entire SKILL.md file
+- [ ] I have executed ALL steps in the skill
+- [ ] I have the required output artifacts
+- [ ] I can answer: "What did this skill produce?"
+
+**Remember**: Skills are documentation-based workflows with ZERO SKIP policy. Load them by reading the SKILL.md files, execute CLI commands when instructed, and NEVER proceed without completing all steps.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ VIOLATION CONSEQUENCES
+
+If you SKIP a skill or phase:
+1. The framework integrity is compromised
+2. Quality cannot be guaranteed
+3. You MUST go back and complete what was skipped
+4. No exceptions. No shortcuts. Follow the workflow.
+
+**Quality over speed. Documentation before code. Planning before execution.**

package/framework/.augment/commands/ac-lite.md

@@ -0,0 +1,192 @@
+**Fundamental Principle**: *"Quality with focused context. Load only what is necessary, when it is necessary."*
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+`ac-lite` keeps the same spec-driven quality bar as `ac.md`, but reduces token usage by:
+
+1. Loading only the core workflow skills by default.
+2. Activating extra skills only when objective risk gates require them.
+3. Enforcing mandatory quality checkpoints before implementation and archive.
+
+---
+
+## Default Skill Set (Always Load)
+
+These are the only mandatory skills for every change:
+
+1. `acfm-spec-workflow`
+2. `openspec-new-change` OR `openspec-ff-change`
+3. `openspec-continue-change`
+4. `openspec-apply-change`
+5. `openspec-verify-change`
+6. `openspec-archive-change`
+
+---
+
+## Conditional Skills (Load Only If Gate Triggers)
+
+### Security Gate
+
+Load `secure-coding-cybersecurity` if the change touches any of:
+
+- Auth/session/permissions
+- User input handling or validation
+- SQL/ORM queries or dynamic filters
+- File paths/uploads
+- Secrets/tokens/credentials
+- Shell/command execution
+
+### Testing Gate
+
+Load `test-generator` if:
+
+- There are no tests for the changed behavior, or
+- Existing tests do not cover acceptance criteria, or
+- Regression risk is medium/high.
+
+### Consistency Gate
+
+Load `spec-analysis` and `requirement-checklist` if:
+
+- Requirements are ambiguous, or
+- Change spans multiple modules, or
+- Change modifies core domain behavior.
+
+### API Gate
+
+Load `api-design-principles` if API contracts/endpoints/schemas are added or modified.
+
+### UI Gate
+
+Load `interface-design` if dashboard/app UI behavior is introduced or changed.
+
+### Performance Gate
+
+Load `performance-optimizer` if:
+
+- The change affects hot paths, or
+- Latency/throughput targets exist, or
+- A performance regression is detected/suspected.
+
+### Context Scale Gate
+
+Load `project-index` and/or `context-synthesizer` if:
+
+- Codebase is large and discovery cost is high, or
+- Session is long and context drift appears.
+
+### Debug Gate
+
+Load `systematic-debugging` when blocked by non-trivial bugs or unstable behavior.
+
+---
+
+## Mandatory Quality Gates
+
+These gates are non-optional in `ac-lite`.
+
+### Gate A: Ready to Implement
+
+Before `openspec-apply-change`, all must be true:
+
+- Change exists and status is valid (`acfm spec status --change <name> --json`)
+- `tasks.md` exists with actionable checkboxes
+- Acceptance criteria are clear in artifacts
+- Required conditional skills (if triggered) were executed
+
+If any item fails: stop, resolve, then continue.
+
+### Gate B: Ready to Archive
+
+Before `openspec-archive-change`, all must be true:
+
+- `openspec-verify-change` completed
+- No CRITICAL findings remain
+- Relevant tests pass for changed behavior
+- Tasks are complete or explicitly accepted by user with warning
+
+If any item fails: stop, fix, re-verify.
+
+---
+
+## Lite Workflows
+
+### New Change (Default Path)
+
+1. Run `acfm-spec-workflow` checks (`acfm spec status --json`, init if needed).
+2. Create change with `openspec-new-change` (or `openspec-ff-change` if user requests speed).
+3. Build artifacts with `openspec-continue-change` until apply-ready.
+4. Evaluate conditional gates and load only triggered skills.
+5. Pass Gate A.
+6. Implement with `openspec-apply-change`.
+7. Verify with `openspec-verify-change`.
+8. Pass Gate B.
+9. Archive with `openspec-archive-change`.
+
+### Existing Change (Default Path)
+
+1. Confirm initialization and active changes.
+2. Select target change.
+3. Refresh artifact status.
+4. Evaluate conditional gates (only load what triggers).
+5. Pass Gate A.
+6. Implement.
+7. Verify.
+8. Pass Gate B.
+9. Archive.
+
+---
+
+## Operational Rules
+
+1. Do not load broad quality/documentation skills by default.
+2. Do not run optional skills "just in case".
+3. If risk increases during implementation, activate the matching conditional skill immediately.
+4. Prefer deterministic CLI checks over narrative assumptions.
+5. Keep outputs concise but auditable (show which gates passed/failed and why).
+
+---
+
+## Suggested Minimal Execution Template
+
+Use this structure in each run:
+
+1. **Change Context**
+   - Change name
+   - Current artifact progress
+
+2. **Triggered Gates**
+   - Security: pass/fail + reason
+   - Testing: pass/fail + reason
+   - Consistency/API/UI/Performance/Context/Debug: pass/fail + reason
+
+3. **Skills Loaded**
+   - Core: always list
+   - Conditional: list only triggered ones
+
+4. **Gate A Status**
+   - Ready to implement: yes/no
+
+5. **Implementation + Verify**
+   - What was implemented
+   - Verify findings summary
+
+6. **Gate B Status**
+   - Ready to archive: yes/no
+
+7. **Archive Result**
+   - Archive path and timestamp
+
+---
+
+## Token Strategy Summary
+
+`ac-lite` reduces cost by replacing "load everything first" with:
+
+- Mandatory core workflow only
+- Risk-gated skill expansion
+- Hard quality checkpoints at implementation and archive boundaries
+
+This preserves software quality while avoiding unnecessary instruction/context overhead.
