+description: "🔮🐜🧠🐜🔮🐜 Oracle Ant - deep research agent using RALF iterative loop pattern"
+---
+
+You are the **Oracle Ant** command handler. You configure and launch a deep research loop that runs autonomously in a separate process.
+
+The user's input is: `$ARGUMENTS`
+
+## Non-Invasive Guarantee
+
+Oracle NEVER touches COLONY_STATE.json, constraints.json, activity.log, or any code files. Only writes to `.aether/oracle/`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Step 0: Parse Arguments and Route
+
+Parse `$ARGUMENTS` to determine the action:
+
+1. Check for flags:
+   - If contains `--no-visual`: set `visual_mode = false` (visual is ON by default)
+   - If contains `--force` or `--force-research`: set `force_research = true`
+   - Otherwise: set `visual_mode = true`, `force_research = false`
+   - Remove flags from arguments before routing
+
+2. **If remaining arguments is exactly `stop`** — go to **Step 0b: Stop Oracle**
+3. **If remaining arguments is exactly `status`** — go to **Step 0c: Show Status**
+4. **Otherwise** — go to **Step 0.5: Initialize Visual Mode** then **Step 1: Research Wizard**
+
+### Step 0.5: Initialize Visual Mode (if enabled)
+
+If `visual_mode` is true, run using the Bash tool with description "Initializing oracle display...":
+```bash
+# Generate session ID
+oracle_id="oracle-$(date +%s)"
+
+# Initialize swarm display
+bash .aether/aether-utils.sh swarm-display-init "$oracle_id"
+bash .aether/aether-utils.sh swarm-display-update "Oracle" "oracle" "researching" "Deep research in progress" "Colony" '{"read":0,"grep":0,"edit":0,"bash":0}' 0 "fungus_garden" 0
+```
+
+Display visual header:
+```

+🔮🐜🧠🐜🔮  O R A C L E  —  R e s e a r c h  M o d e
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+Oracle peering into the depths...
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 0b: Stop Oracle
+
+Create the stop signal file by running using the Bash tool with description "Stopping oracle research...":
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .aether/oracle && touch .aether/oracle/.stop
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```
+🔮🐜 Oracle Stop Signal Sent
+
+   Created .aether/oracle/.stop
+   The research loop will halt at the end of the current iteration.
+
+   To check final results: /ant:oracle status
+```
+
+Stop here. Do not proceed.
+
+---
+
+### Step 0c: Show Status
+
+Check if `.aether/oracle/progress.md` exists using the Read tool.
+
+**If it does NOT exist**, output:
+
+```
+🔮🐜 Oracle Status: No Research In Progress
+
+   No progress.md found. Start a research session:
+   /ant:oracle
+```
+
+Stop here.
+
+**If it exists**, read `.aether/oracle/progress.md` and `.aether/oracle/research.json` (if present).
+
+Count the number of `## Iteration` headings in progress.md to determine iterations completed.
+
+Output:
+
+```
+🔮🐜 Oracle Status
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Topic:       {topic from research.json, or "unknown"}
+Confidence:  {target_confidence}%
+Iterations:  {completed} / {max_iterations}
+Started:     {started_at}
+
+Progress:
+{last 50 lines of progress.md}
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+  /ant:oracle stop     Halt the loop
+  /ant:oracle          Start new research
+```
+
+Stop here.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1: Research Wizard
+
+This is the setup phase. The Oracle asks questions to configure the research before launching.
+
+Output the header:
+
+```
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+🔮🐜🧠🐜🔮  O R A C L E   A N T  —  R E S E A R C H   W I Z A R D
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+```
+
+**If `$ARGUMENTS` is not empty and not a subcommand**, use it as the initial topic suggestion. Otherwise, the topic will be asked in Question 1.
+
+Now ask questions using AskUserQuestion. Ask them one at a time so each answer can inform the next question.
+
+**Question 1: Research Topic**
+
+If `$ARGUMENTS` already contains a topic, skip this question and use that as the topic.
+
+Otherwise ask:
+
+```
+What should the Oracle research?
+```
+
+Options:
+1. **Codebase analysis** — Deep dive into how this codebase works (architecture, patterns, conventions)
+2. **External research** — Research a technology, library, or concept using web search
+3. **Both** — Combine codebase exploration with external research
+
+Then use a follow-up AskUserQuestion with a free-text prompt:
+
+```
+Describe the research topic in detail. The more specific, the better the Oracle's results.
+```
+
+(The user will type their topic via the "Other" free-text option.)
+
+**Question 2: Research Depth**
+
+```
+How deep should the Oracle go?
+```
+
+Options:
+1. **Quick scan (5 iterations)** — Surface-level overview, fast results
+2. **Standard research (15 iterations)** — Thorough investigation, good balance
+3. **Deep dive (30 iterations)** — Exhaustive research, leaves no stone unturned
+4. **Marathon (50 iterations)** — Maximum depth, may take hours
+
+**Question 3: Confidence Target**
+
+```
+When should the Oracle consider the research complete?
+```
+
+Options:
+1. **80% confidence** — Good enough for a first pass, stops early
+2. **90% confidence** — Solid understanding, most questions answered
+3. **95% confidence (recommended)** — Thorough, few gaps remaining
+4. **99% confidence** — Near-exhaustive, won't stop until almost everything is known
+
+**Question 4: Research Scope** (only if topic involves codebase)
+
+```
+Should the Oracle also search the web, or stay within the codebase?
+```
+
+Options:
+1. **Codebase only** — Only use Glob, Grep, Read to explore local files
+2. **Codebase + web** — Also use WebSearch and WebFetch for docs, best practices, prior art
+3. **Web only** — Focus on external research (libraries, concepts, techniques)
+
+After collecting all answers, proceed to Step 2.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.5: Check for Stale Oracle Session
+
+Before starting new research, check for existing oracle session files.
+
+Capture session start time:
+```bash
+ORACLE_START=$(date +%s)
+```
+
+Check for stale files by running using the Bash tool with description "Checking for stale oracle session...":
+```bash
+stale_check=$(bash .aether/aether-utils.sh session-verify-fresh --command oracle "" "$ORACLE_START")
+has_stale=$(echo "$stale_check" | jq -r '.stale | length')
+has_progress=$(echo "$stale_check" | jq -r '.fresh | length')
+
+if [[ "$has_stale" -gt 0 ]] || [[ "$has_progress" -gt 0 ]]; then
+  # Found existing oracle session
+  if [[ "$force_research" == "true" ]]; then
+    bash .aether/aether-utils.sh session-clear --command oracle
+    echo "Cleared stale oracle session for fresh research"
+  else
+    # Existing session found - prompt user
+    echo "Found existing oracle session. Options:"
+    echo "  /ant:oracle status     - View current session"
+    echo "  /ant:oracle --force    - Restart with fresh session"
+    echo "  /ant:oracle stop       - Stop current session"
+    # Don't proceed - let user decide
+    exit 0
+  fi
+fi
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Configure Research
+
+Create the oracle directory structure by running using the Bash tool with description "Setting up oracle research...":
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .aether/oracle/archive .aether/oracle/discoveries
+```
+
+Generate an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp.
+
+**Archive previous research if it exists:**
+
+Check if `.aether/oracle/progress.md` exists. If it does, run using the Bash tool with description "Archiving previous research...":
+
+```bash
+DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
+TIMESTAMP=$(date +%H%M%S)
+mkdir -p .aether/oracle/archive
+cp .aether/oracle/progress.md ".aether/oracle/archive/${DATE}-${TIMESTAMP}-progress.md" 2>/dev/null || true
+cp .aether/oracle/research.json ".aether/oracle/archive/${DATE}-${TIMESTAMP}-research.json" 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+**Write research.json:**
+
+Use the Write tool to write `.aether/oracle/research.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "topic": "<the research topic>",
+  "scope": "<codebase|web|both>",
+  "questions": [
+    "<break the topic into 3-5 specific research questions>"
+  ],
+  "max_iterations": <number from depth choice>,
+  "target_confidence": <number from confidence choice>,
+  "started_at": "<ISO-8601 UTC timestamp>"
+}
+```
+
+The `questions` array is important — break the user's topic into 3-5 concrete, specific questions that the Oracle should answer. These guide each iteration.
+
+**Write progress.md:**
+
+Use the Write tool to write `.aether/oracle/progress.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Oracle Research Progress
+
+**Topic:** <the research topic>
+**Started:** <ISO-8601 UTC timestamp>
+**Target Confidence:** <N>%
+**Max Iterations:** <N>
+**Scope:** <codebase|web|both>
+
+## Research Questions
+1. <question 1>
+2. <question 2>
+3. <question 3>
+...
+
+---
+
+```
+
+#### Step 2.5: Verify Oracle Files Are Fresh
+
+Verify that progress.md and research.json were created successfully by running using the Bash tool with description "Verifying oracle files...":
+```bash
+verify_result=$(bash .aether/aether-utils.sh session-verify-fresh --command oracle "" "$ORACLE_START")
+fresh_count=$(echo "$verify_result" | jq -r '.fresh | length')
+
+if [[ "$fresh_count" -lt 2 ]]; then
+  echo "Warning: Oracle files not properly initialized"
+fi
+```
+
+Proceed to Step 3.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Launch
+
+Output the research configuration summary:
+
+```
+🔮 Research Configured
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+📍 Topic:       <topic>
+🔄 Iterations:  <max_iterations>
+🎯 Confidence:  <target_confidence>%
+🔍 Scope:       <scope>
+
+📋 Research Questions:
+   1. <question>
+   2. <question>
+   3. <question>
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+```
+
+Now launch the loop. Try tmux first, fall back to manual.
+
+**Try tmux** by running using the Bash tool with description "Launching oracle in tmux...":
+
+```bash
+tmux new-session -d -s oracle "cd $(pwd) && bash .aether/oracle/oracle.sh; echo ''; echo '🔮🐜 Oracle loop finished. Press any key to close.'; read -n1" 2>/dev/null && echo "TMUX_OK" || echo "TMUX_FAIL"
+```
+
+**If TMUX_OK:**
+
+```
+🔮🐜 Oracle Launched
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+   The Oracle is researching in a background tmux session.
+
+   👁️  Watch live:     tmux attach -t oracle
+   📊 Check status:   /ant:oracle status
+   🛑 Stop early:     /ant:oracle stop
+
+   Results will accumulate in .aether/oracle/progress.md
+   The Oracle will stop when it reaches {target_confidence}% confidence
+   or completes {max_iterations} iterations.
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+   You can keep working. The Oracle runs independently.
+```
+
+Stop here.
+
+**If TMUX_FAIL** (tmux not installed or error):
+
+```
+🔮 Ready to Launch
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+   tmux not available. Run this in a separate terminal:
+
+   cd {current_working_directory}
+   bash .aether/oracle/oracle.sh
+
+   Then come back here:
+   📊 Check status:   /ant:oracle status
+   🛑 Stop early:     /ant:oracle stop
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+```
+
+Generate the state-based Next Up block by running using the Bash tool with description "Generating Next Up suggestions...":
+```bash
+state=$(jq -r '.state // "IDLE"' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)
+current_phase=$(jq -r '.current_phase // 0' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)
+total_phases=$(jq -r '.plan.phases | length' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)
+bash .aether/aether-utils.sh print-next-up "$state" "$current_phase" "$total_phases"
+```
+
+Stop here.

+description: "🧹🐜🏛️🐜🧹 Run codebase hygiene report - archivist ant scans for stale files, dead code, orphaned configs (report-only)"
+---
+
+You are the **Queen Ant Colony**. Spawn an archivist to analyze codebase hygiene.
+
+> **Note:** `$ARGUMENTS` is unused. Future extensions could accept a path scope argument.
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Read State
+
+Use the Read tool to read these files (in parallel):
+- `.aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json`
+- `.aether/data/activity.log`
+
+From COLONY_STATE.json, extract:
+- `goal` from top level
+- `plan.phases` for phase data
+- `signals` for pheromone data
+- `errors.records` for error patterns
+- `memory` for decisions/learnings
+- `events` for activity
+
+**Validate:** If `COLONY_STATE.json` has `goal: null`, output `No colony initialized. Run /ant:init first.` and stop.
+
+### Step 2: Compute Active Pheromones
+
+Read active signals from COLONY_STATE.json `signals` array (already loaded in Step 1).
+
+Filter signals where:
+- `expires_at` is null (permanent signals like INIT), OR
+- `expires_at` > current timestamp (not expired)
+
+Format as the standard ACTIVE PHEROMONES block:
+```
+ACTIVE PHEROMONES:
+  {TYPE padded to 10 chars}: "{content}"
+```
+
+If no active signals after filtering:
+```
+  (no active pheromones)
+```
+
+### Step 3: Spawn Archivist (Keeper-Ant)
+
+Read `.aether/workers.md` and extract the `## Keeper` section.
+
+Spawn via **Task tool** with `subagent_type="aether-keeper"`:
+# FALLBACK: If "Agent type not found", use general-purpose and inject role: "You are a Keeper Ant - curates knowledge and synthesizes patterns."
+
+```
+--- WORKER SPEC ---
+{Architect section from .aether/workers.md}
+
+--- ACTIVE PHEROMONES ---
+{pheromone block from Step 2}
+
+--- TASK ---
+You are being spawned as an ARCHIVIST ANT (codebase hygiene analyzer).
+
+Your mission: Produce a structured HYGIENE REPORT. You are REPORT-ONLY.
+You MUST NOT delete, modify, move, or create any project files.
+You may ONLY read files and produce a report.
+
+Colony goal: "{goal from COLONY_STATE.json}"
+Colony mode: {mode from COLONY_STATE.json}
+Current phase: {current_phase from COLONY_STATE.json}
+
+--- COLONY DATA ---
+
+PROJECT PLAN:
+{plan.phases from COLONY_STATE.json -- phases, tasks, their statuses}
+
+ERROR HISTORY:
+{errors.records and errors.flagged_patterns from COLONY_STATE.json}
+
+MEMORY:
+{memory.phase_learnings and memory.decisions from COLONY_STATE.json}
+
+ACTIVITY LOG (last 50 lines):
+{tail of activity.log}
+
+--- SCAN INSTRUCTIONS ---
+
+Analyze the codebase for hygiene issues in three categories. For each finding,
+assign a confidence level: HIGH (strong evidence), MEDIUM (likely but uncertain),
+or LOW (speculative). Only HIGH confidence items should be presented as actionable.
+
+**Category 1: Stale Files**
+Check for files that may no longer be needed:
+- Files referenced in completed tasks that might have been scaffolding/temporary
+- Look at the project structure (use Glob tool to scan key directories)
+- Check for TODO/FIXME/HACK comments that reference completed phases
+- Check for test fixtures or mock data that reference completed features
+- Look for empty files or stub implementations
+
+**Category 2: Dead Code Patterns**
+Use colony data to identify dead code signals:
+- Recurring error patterns from COLONY_STATE.json errors.flagged_patterns (code that keeps breaking may be vestigial)
+- Error categories with high counts concentrated in specific files
+- Imports or dependencies referenced in errors but possibly no longer needed
+- Read key source files and look for commented-out code blocks, unused exports, unreachable branches
+
+**Category 3: Orphaned Configs**
+Check for configuration that may not be connected:
+- .aether/data/ files that have empty or default-only content
+- Environment variables referenced in code but not in any .env example
+- Config files that reference features/paths that don't exist
+- Package.json scripts (if exists) that reference missing files
+
+--- OUTPUT FORMAT ---
+
+Produce your report in this exact structure:
+
+CODEBASE HYGIENE REPORT
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+Project: {goal}
+Scanned: {timestamp}
+Confidence threshold: HIGH findings are actionable, MEDIUM/LOW are informational
+
+HIGH CONFIDENCE FINDINGS
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+{For each HIGH confidence finding:}
+  [{category}] {description}
+    Evidence: {what data/observation supports this}
+    Location: {file path(s)}
+
+{If no HIGH findings: "No high-confidence hygiene issues detected."}
+
+MEDIUM CONFIDENCE OBSERVATIONS
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+{For each MEDIUM confidence finding:}
+  [{category}] {description}
+    Evidence: {what data/observation supports this}
+    Location: {file path(s)}
+
+{If no MEDIUM findings: "No medium-confidence observations."}
+
+LOW CONFIDENCE NOTES
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+{For each LOW confidence finding:}
+  [{category}] {description}
+
+{If no LOW findings: "No low-confidence notes."}
+
+SUMMARY
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+  High: {count} actionable findings
+  Medium: {count} observations
+  Low: {count} notes
+
+  Health: {CLEAN if 0 HIGH findings, MINOR ISSUES if 1-3 HIGH, NEEDS ATTENTION if 4+ HIGH}
+
+CONSTRAINTS:
+- Be CONSERVATIVE. When in doubt, classify as LOW confidence.
+- Do NOT flag standard framework files (package.json, tsconfig.json, etc.) as orphaned.
+- Do NOT flag .aether/ internal data files as stale (they are managed by the colony).
+- Do NOT flag .claude/ command files as stale (they are the colony's brain).
+- Aim for a useful report, not an exhaustive one. 5-15 findings is ideal.
+```
+
+### Step 4: Display Report
+
+After the keeper-ant returns, display header:
+
+```
+🧹🐜🏛️🐜🧹 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+   C O D E B A S E   H Y G I E N E   R E P O R T
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧹🐜🏛️🐜🧹
+```
+
+Then display using Bash tool with description "Displaying hygiene report header...":
+```bash
+bash -c 'printf "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n"'
+bash -c 'printf "   C O D E B A S E   H Y G I E N E   R E P O R T\n"'
+bash -c 'printf "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n"'
+```
+
+Then display the keeper-ant's full report verbatim.
+
+### Step 5: Persist Report
+
+Use the Write tool to write the full report to `.aether/data/hygiene-report.md` (overwriting any previous report).
+
+Display:
+
+```
+---
+Report saved: .aether/data/hygiene-report.md
+
+This report is advisory only. No files were modified.
+
+Next:
+  /ant:status           View colony status
+  /ant:build <phase>    Continue building
+  /ant:focus "<area>"   Focus colony on a hygiene area
+```
+
+### Step 6: Log Activity
+
+Use the Bash tool with description "Logging hygiene activity..." to run:
+```
+bash .aether/aether-utils.sh activity-log "COMPLETE" "queen" "Hygiene report generated"
+```
+
+Display persistence confirmation:
+
+```
+---
+All state persisted. Safe to /clear context if needed.
+  Report: .aether/data/hygiene-report.md
+  Resume: /ant:resume-colony
+```
+
+### Step 7: Next Up
+
+Generate the state-based Next Up block by running using the Bash tool with description "Generating Next Up suggestions...":
+```bash
+state=$(jq -r '.state // "IDLE"' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)
+current_phase=$(jq -r '.current_phase // 0' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)
+total_phases=$(jq -r '.plan.phases | length' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)
+bash .aether/aether-utils.sh print-next-up "$state" "$current_phase" "$total_phases"
+```
