On version bumps, promote the Unreleased section to a versioned heading.\n\n---\n\n## Brainstorm: bootstrapping or refining the vision artifact\n\nThis runs in two situations:\n\n1. **The vision artifact doesn't exist**: the first time realisera runs on a project\n2. **User explicitly asks** to refine the vision\n\nIn all other cases, skip straight to the cycle.\n\nThe sharp colleague, here to build. Brief, focused conversation. One question at a time. Push for ambition.\n\n1. **Understand the dream**: \"Not what the software does, but what does it make possible?\"\n2. **Find the people**: \"Who reaches for this? Describe a person: their day, their frustrations.\"\n3. **Find the principles**: \"What principles guide every decision?\" If a decision profile exists, propose principles from it.\n4. **Set the direction**: \"Where is this heading? Not features, but capabilities.\"\n5. **Write the vision artifact**: synthesize into an aspirational north star. Present for approval.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 conventions: banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## The cycle\n\nSkill introduction: \u0060─── ⧉ realisera · cycle N ───\u0060\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/9: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: orient, select, research, plan, spawn, verify, commit, audit, log.\n\n### Step 1: Orient\n\nStart from the supported Realisera execution-context seam:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060bash\nagentera prime --context realisera --format json\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nIf \u0060execution_context.source_contract.complete_for_execution_context\u0060 is true,\nuse \u0060execution_context\u0060 and included \u0060capability_context.state\u0060 as normal startup context. Do\nnot read raw PLAN, PROGRESS, TODO, DOCS, HEALTH, DECISIONS, CHANGELOG, VISION,\nPROFILE, or DESIGN artifacts just to re-check selected work, acceptance\ncriteria, constraints, verification expectations, artifact update requirements,\nprogress logging requirements, changelog boundary, or scope caveats.\n\nIf \u0060execution_context\u0060 is incomplete or caveated, preserve every caveat in the\ncycle report and run the listed \u0060execution_context.fallback_commands\u0060 before any\nlast-resort raw artifact diagnostic. Raw artifact reads are last-resort\ndiagnostics, not normal Realisera startup behavior.\n\nFor progress fallback specifically, use \u0060npx -y agentera state progress --format json\u0060\nor the installed app equivalent from the returned fallback command; the routine\nprogress command owns startup progress state.\n\n### Decision satisfaction authority\n\nWhen a cycle touches decision satisfaction, agents may mark provisional\nsatisfaction with evidence only. Realisera must not mark or imply\nuser-confirmed satisfaction; only the user confirms final satisfaction. If\ndecisions are compacted, missing satisfaction state, open, provisional, or\nreview-needed, preserve the caveat and review pressure in the cycle report\ninstead of reconstructing hidden outcomes or claiming automation proved intent.\n\n1. **execution_context.work_selection**: selected task or no-plan/completed-plan mode\n2. **execution_context.acceptance_criteria**: exact criteria for this cycle\n3. **execution_context.constraints**: plan constraints and protected-action boundaries\n4. **execution_context.verification_expectations**: expected validation and latest progress evidence\n5. **execution_context.artifact_update_requirements**: plan, TODO, changelog, and progress update obligations\n6. **execution_context.changelog_boundary**: current public-history boundary or fallback\n7. **execution_context.scope_boundary**: artifact-family scope and conservative source-file scope\n8. **source_contract.capability_context**: missing state families and CLI fallback commands\n9. **profile summary**: use \u0060hej.profile\u0060; stale or missing profile is a caveat, not approval to refresh profile state.\n\n10. **Project discovery** (cycle 1 or when unfamiliar):\n    - Map the directory structure\n    - Read dependency manifests\n    - Read README.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md if they exist\n    - Identify build/test/lint commands\n    - Read key source files to understand architecture\n\n11. \u0060git log --oneline -20\u0060 for recent changes\n\nBefore proceeding, list the 3-5 facts that determine this cycle.\n\n**Exit-early stop condition (plan-driven mode only)**: If PLAN.md has \u0060header.status: complete\u0060 and every task is complete, perform a **plan-completion sweep** before archiving. A plan with blocked, skipped, or otherwise incomplete tasks is not a successfully completed plan and must remain visible for replanning or follow-up. This stop condition does NOT apply in vision-driven mode.\n\nSweep checklist:\n\n1. **PROGRESS.md aggregate cycle entry**: insert a newest-first cycle entry summarizing the whole plan.\n2. **CHANGELOG.md plan-level entries**: verify \u0060## [Unreleased]\u0060 covers each completed task's user-facing impact.\n3. **TODO.md milestone advance**: mark each plan task as Resolved.\n4. **HEALTH.md cross-reference**: mention any resolved findings.\n\nAfter the sweep, archive PLAN.md to \u0060.agentera/archive/PLAN-{date}-{slug}.yaml\u0060, preserve lineage/evidence in the archive or next plan's \u0060previous_plan_archived\u0060, remove the active \u0060.agentera/plan.yaml\u0060, and report exit signal \u0060complete: plan finished\u0060.\n\n### Step 2: Pick work\n\nChoose **one** focused increment. No backlog; decide by reasoning about the gap between vision and codebase, weighted against known issues.\n\nEach cycle: **build toward the vision, or fix something broken?** Consult the decision profile. A critical bug trumps a new feature; a minor nit doesn't block progress.\n\n**Building toward vision:** Read codebase + VISION.md, identify the gap, pick the smallest increment closing the most valuable part.\n\n**Fixing issues:** Pick from TODO.md by severity (critical > degraded > annoying).\n\n**Optimization-shaped work:** suggest ⎘ optimera for measurable metrics and\nwait for confirmation instead of silently delegating.\n\nWrite a 1-2 sentence rationale. Scope down aggressively.\n\nCompose a Context block for this cycle: intent, constraints, unknowns, and scope. Keep it ≤80 words.\n\n**Decision gate**: After selecting work, use \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 and check whether any \u0060exploratory\u0060 (DL3) entries in DECISIONS.md relate to the selected work area. Preserve returned \u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, \u0060caveats\u0060, and \u0060satisfaction.review_needed\u0060 pressure in the cycle context instead of raw-reading missing historical context. If an exploratory decision is found: flag the uncertain foundation, suggest ❈ resonera to firm up the decision, and wait for confirmation before invoking it. In autonomous mode, proceed with the work but log the risk instead of silently delegating to resonera.\n\n### Step 3: Seek inspiration\n\nSearch for relevant external approaches before planning.\n\n1. **Assess**: bug fixes rarely benefit from inspiration. New features, architecture decisions, and unfamiliar domains do.\n2. **Search**: 2-3 targeted web queries for libraries, articles, repos, or patterns.\n3. **Analyze**: read promising finds deeply.\n4. **Integrate**: fold applicable patterns into the plan.\n\n### Step 4: Plan\n\nWrite a concrete plan: what changes in which files, expected behavior, verification approach.\n\nRead files you plan to modify before committing to the plan. If the docs-first workflow should update intent docs before tests and code, include that.\n\nKeep small enough for one agent session. Too large? Split and save the rest.\n\n### Step 5: Dispatch\n\n**Pre-spawn Git commit**: before creating the worktree, commit any pending artifact changes so the subagent branches from current state.\n\n1. Run \u0060git status --porcelain\u0060. If empty, skip to spawn.\n2. Stage only the artifact files this session wrote.\n3. Commit with \u0060chore(realisera): checkpoint before worktree dispatch\u0060.\n4. If pre-commit hooks reject: fix, re-stage, retry. If retry fails, abort spawn.\n\n**Stale-base awareness**: Before spawning, run \u0060git rev-list --count origin/main..HEAD\u0060. If count > 0, do not merge the worktree branch. Fetch the sub-agent's diff and apply it to the main checkout.\n\nRuntime subagent mechanisms:\n\n| Runtime | Substrate | Limitation |\n|---------|-----------|------------|\n| Claude Code | Task tool with worktree-aware prompt | Native in-session spawn. |\n| OpenCode | \u0060@<capability>\u0060 descriptors from \u0060~/.config/opencode/agents/*.md\u0060 or a host Task subagent | Same working tree unless this step explicitly creates and targets a manual git worktree. |\n| Codex CLI | \u0060~/.codex/agents/*.toml\u0060 descriptors plus \u0060[agents]\u0060 limits | Agentera setup installs descriptor files; do not write legacy \u0060[agents.<name>]\u0060 config blocks. |\n| Copilot CLI | User-driven \u0060/fleet\u0060 or equivalent host action | No guaranteed programmatic in-session spawn. |\n\nNever spawn workers by running unsupported capability-name CLI commands such as \u0060agentera realisera\u0060; use the runtime-native subagent surface with the implementation prompt below.\n\nSpawn an implementation sub-agent in a worktree with:\n\n- The plan from step 4\n- Relevant context files\n- Clear constraint: implement the plan and nothing else\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\nYou are implementing a focused change for [project].\n\n## Task\n[The plan]\n\n## Constraints\n- Implement ONLY what the plan describes. No scope creep.\n- Follow existing code patterns and conventions.\n- Read the files you are modifying before changing them.\n- Verify the change works as described, then run the project's test/build suite.\n- If you encounter a bug unrelated to your task, note it but do not fix it.\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n### Step 6: Verify\n\nVerification has two phases: structural and behavioral. Both must pass before commit.\n\n**Phase A, structural verification**: After implementation:\n\n1. **Check the diff**: does it match the plan?\n2. **Functional check**: does the changed behavior work end-to-end?\n3. **Run the project's verification suite** (test/build/lint).\n\n**Phase B, behavioral verification gate**: observe the new behavior by running the project's primary entrypoint against real project state:\n\n- CLI tool: invoke with realistic arguments\n- Library/SDK: run a smoke driver\n- Web service: send a request to a production-shaped endpoint\n- Skill repo: \u0060npx -y agentera verify eval skills --skill <name>\u0060\n\nIf verification fails: diagnose, spawn a fix agent, re-verify.\n\n**N/A path**: If the cycle has no runnable behavior change, use \u0060N/A: <tag>\u0060 from the allowlist: \u0060docs-only\u0060, \u0060refactor-no-behavior-change\u0060, \u0060chore-dep-bump\u0060, \u0060chore-build-config\u0060, \u0060test-only\u0060.\n\n### Step 7: Commit\n\nOnce verified, commit with a conventional commit message: \u0060type(scope): summary\u0060.\n\nTypes: \u0060feat\u0060, \u0060fix\u0060, \u0060docs\u0060, \u0060refactor\u0060, \u0060chore\u0060, \u0060test\u0060. Include all related files. Never commit partial or broken work. Never push to remote.\n\nIf the current task is a version bump: read DOCS.md for the \u0060versioning\u0060 section. Update every file in \u0060version_files\u0060.\n\n### Step 8: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns, abstraction creep, and filler accumulation.\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\n### Step 9: Log\n\n**Dual-write**: realisera maintains the resolved PROGRESS.md YAML artifact and root CHANGELOG.md.\n\n- **TODO.md**: add newly discovered issues, mark resolved ones. Classify by severity (SI1-SI4).\n- **PROGRESS.md**: insert the newest cycle entry before older active cycles. The \u0060verified\u0060 field is mandatory.\n- **CHANGELOG.md**: append a one-line entry under \u0060## [Unreleased]\u0060.\n\nAfter writing PROGRESS.md, apply the schema COMPACTION rules if thresholds are exceeded: keep 10 full entries, keep up to 40 one-line archive entries, and drop beyond 50 total.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 conventions.\n\nThen stop. One cycle complete.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n\n- NEVER push to any remote. Local commits only.\n- NEVER bypass the project's test/lint/build suite.\n- NEVER modify git config or skip git hooks.\n- NEVER force push, amend published commits, or run destructive git operations.\n- NEVER add placeholder data or functionality.\n- NEVER modify files outside the project directory.\n- NEVER modify the vision artifact during a cycle. Only touch it during a brainstorm.\n- One cycle per invocation. Do not attempt multiple cycles.\n\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Handling blocked work\n\nIf blocked:\n\n1. Log blocker in TODO.md with context and decision needed\n2. Log skipped attempt in PROGRESS.md\n3. Pick different work and complete a full cycle on that instead\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060─── ⧉ realisera · <status> ───\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): One full cycle completed. Work selected, implemented, verified, committed, artifacts updated.\n- **flagged** (EX2): Cycle completed but with notable issues: verification warnings, scope reduction, or discoveries suggesting next cycle may face blockers.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot complete: the vision artifact is missing and brainstorm can't proceed, all work blocked, or verification suite broken.\n- **waiting** (EX4): No vision artifact and no codebase to infer direction, or user instruction too ambiguous.\n\nBefore reporting any status, inspect the last 3 entries in PROGRESS.md. If all 3 record failed cycles, stop, log the failure pattern to TODO.md, and surface to the user. Do not attempt a 4th consecutive cycle on the same failing problem.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nRealisera is part of a twelve-capability suite.\n\n### Delegates to ⛥ visionera\n\nWhen visionera is installed and the vision artifact doesn't exist, suggest ⛥ visionera for deep vision creation. If visionera is NOT installed, the built-in brainstorm works as a standalone fallback.\n\n### Delegates to ⎘ optimera\n\nWhen picked work is optimization-shaped (improving a measurable metric), delegate to optimera.\n\n### Uses ⬚ inspirera\n\nIn Step 3 (Seek inspiration), search for external approaches. For deeper analysis, use \u0060/agentera research <url>\u0060.\n\n### Reads ♾ profilera output\n\nEvery cycle runs the effective profile script. Confidence thresholds (CS1-CS5) determine which entries are strong constraints vs suggestions.\n\n### Uses ❈ resonera for complex decisions\n\nWhen the brainstorm or work selection surfaces a decision too complex for inline resolution, suggest ❈ resonera.\n\n### Consumes ≡ planera plans\n\nWhen PLAN.md exists with pending tasks, Step 2 reads the plan instead of reasoning from vision. Pick next pending task with satisfied dependencies. Update task status. When \u0060header.status: complete\u0060 and every task is complete, run the plan-completion sweep, archive PLAN.md before removing active state, and preserve lineage/evidence.\n\n### Reads ▤ dokumentera output\n\nDOCS.md provides artifact path resolution. In the docs-first workflow, dokumentera writes intent docs that feed planera, which feeds realisera.\n\n### Reads ◰ visualisera output\n\nDESIGN.md provides visual identity context respected when building user-facing features.\n\n### Audited by ⛶ inspektera\n\nHEALTH.md findings become candidates for work selection. Run ⛶ inspektera every 5-10 cycles.\n"`);

On version bumps, promote the Unreleased section to a versioned heading.\n\n---\n\n## Brainstorm: bootstrapping or refining the vision artifact\n\nThis runs in two situations:\n\n1. **The vision artifact doesn't exist**: the first time realisera runs on a project\n2. **User explicitly asks** to refine the vision\n\nIn all other cases, skip straight to the cycle.\n\nThe sharp colleague, here to build. Brief, focused conversation. One question at a time. Push for ambition.\n\n1. **Understand the dream**: \"Not what the software does, but what does it make possible?\"\n2. **Find the people**: \"Who reaches for this? Describe a person: their day, their frustrations.\"\n3. **Find the principles**: \"What principles guide every decision?\" If a decision profile exists, propose principles from it.\n4. **Set the direction**: \"Where is this heading? Not features, but capabilities.\"\n5. **Write the vision artifact**: synthesize into an aspirational north star. Present for approval.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 conventions: banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## The cycle\n\nSkill introduction: \u0060─── ⧉ realisera · cycle N ───\u0060\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/9: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: orient, select, research, plan, spawn, verify, commit, audit, log.\n\n### Step 1: Orient\n\nStart from the supported Realisera execution-context seam:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060bash\nagentera prime --context realisera --format json\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nIf \u0060execution_context.source_contract.complete_for_execution_context\u0060 is true,\nuse \u0060execution_context\u0060 and included \u0060capability_context.state\u0060 as normal startup context. Do\nnot read raw PLAN, PROGRESS, TODO, DOCS, HEALTH, DECISIONS, CHANGELOG, VISION,\nPROFILE, or DESIGN artifacts just to re-check selected work, acceptance\ncriteria, constraints, verification expectations, artifact update requirements,\nprogress logging requirements, changelog boundary, or scope caveats.\n\nIf \u0060execution_context\u0060 is incomplete or caveated, preserve every caveat in the\ncycle report and run the listed \u0060execution_context.fallback_commands\u0060 before any\nlast-resort raw artifact diagnostic. Raw artifact reads are last-resort\ndiagnostics, not normal Realisera startup behavior.\n\nFor progress fallback specifically, use \u0060npx -y agentera state progress --format json\u0060\nor the installed app equivalent from the returned fallback command; the routine\nprogress command owns startup progress state.\n\n### Decision satisfaction authority\n\nWhen a cycle touches decision satisfaction, agents may mark provisional\nsatisfaction with evidence only. Realisera must not mark or imply\nuser-confirmed satisfaction; only the user confirms final satisfaction. If\ndecisions are compacted, missing satisfaction state, open, provisional, or\nreview-needed, preserve the caveat and review pressure in the cycle report\ninstead of reconstructing hidden outcomes or claiming automation proved intent.\n\n1. **execution_context.work_selection**: selected task or no-plan/completed-plan mode\n2. **execution_context.acceptance_criteria**: exact criteria for this cycle\n3. **execution_context.constraints**: plan constraints and protected-action boundaries\n4. **execution_context.verification_expectations**: expected validation and latest progress evidence\n5. **execution_context.artifact_update_requirements**: plan, TODO, changelog, and progress update obligations\n6. **execution_context.changelog_boundary**: current public-history boundary or fallback\n7. **execution_context.scope_boundary**: artifact-family scope and conservative source-file scope\n8. **source_contract.capability_context**: missing state families and CLI fallback commands\n9. **profile summary**: use \u0060hej.profile\u0060; stale or missing profile is a caveat, not approval to refresh profile state.\n\n10. **Project discovery** (cycle 1 or when unfamiliar):\n    - Map the directory structure\n    - Read dependency manifests\n    - Read README.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md if they exist\n    - Identify build/test/lint commands\n    - Read key source files to understand architecture\n\n11. \u0060git log --oneline -20\u0060 for recent changes\n\nBefore proceeding, list the 3-5 facts that determine this cycle.\n\n**Exit-early stop condition (plan-driven mode only)**: If PLAN.md has \u0060header.status: complete\u0060 and every task is complete, perform a **plan-completion sweep** before archiving. A plan with blocked, skipped, or otherwise incomplete tasks is not a successfully completed plan and must remain visible for replanning or follow-up. This stop condition does NOT apply in vision-driven mode.\n\nSweep checklist:\n\n1. **PROGRESS.md aggregate cycle entry**: insert a newest-first cycle entry summarizing the whole plan.\n2. **CHANGELOG.md plan-level entries**: verify \u0060## [Unreleased]\u0060 covers each completed task's user-facing impact.\n3. **TODO.md milestone advance**: mark each plan task as Resolved.\n4. **HEALTH.md cross-reference**: mention any resolved findings.\n\nAfter the sweep, archive PLAN.md to \u0060.agentera/archive/PLAN-{date}-{slug}.yaml\u0060, preserve lineage/evidence in the archive or next plan's \u0060previous_plan_archived\u0060, remove the active \u0060.agentera/plan.yaml\u0060, and report exit signal \u0060complete: plan finished\u0060.\n\n### Step 2: Pick work\n\nChoose **one** focused increment. No backlog; decide by reasoning about the gap between vision and codebase, weighted against known issues.\n\nEach cycle: **build toward the vision, or fix something broken?** Consult the decision profile. A critical bug trumps a new feature; a minor nit doesn't block progress.\n\n**Building toward vision:** Read codebase + VISION.md, identify the gap, pick the smallest increment closing the most valuable part.\n\n**Fixing issues:** Pick from TODO.md by severity (critical > degraded > annoying).\n\n**Optimization-shaped work:** suggest ⎘ optimera for measurable metrics and\nwait for confirmation instead of silently delegating.\n\nWrite a 1-2 sentence rationale. Scope down aggressively.\n\nCompose a Context block for this cycle: intent, constraints, unknowns, and scope. Keep it ≤80 words.\n\n**Decision gate**: After selecting work, use \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 and check whether any \u0060exploratory\u0060 (DL3) entries in DECISIONS.md relate to the selected work area. Preserve returned \u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, \u0060caveats\u0060, and \u0060satisfaction.review_needed\u0060 pressure in the cycle context instead of raw-reading missing historical context. If an exploratory decision is found: flag the uncertain foundation, suggest ❈ resonera to firm up the decision, and wait for confirmation before invoking it. In autonomous mode, proceed with the work but log the risk instead of silently delegating to resonera.\n\n### Step 3: Seek inspiration\n\nSearch for relevant external approaches before planning.\n\n1. **Assess**: bug fixes rarely benefit from inspiration. New features, architecture decisions, and unfamiliar domains do.\n2. **Search**: 2-3 targeted web queries for libraries, articles, repos, or patterns.\n3. **Analyze**: read promising finds deeply.\n4. **Integrate**: fold applicable patterns into the plan.\n\n### Step 4: Plan\n\nWrite a concrete plan: what changes in which files, expected behavior, verification approach.\n\nRead files you plan to modify before committing to the plan. If the docs-first workflow should update intent docs before tests and code, include that.\n\nKeep small enough for one agent session. Too large? Split and save the rest.\n\n### Step 5: Dispatch\n\n**Pre-spawn Git commit**: before creating the worktree, commit any pending artifact changes so the subagent branches from current state.\n\n1. Run \u0060git status --porcelain\u0060. If empty, skip to spawn.\n2. Stage only the artifact files this session wrote.\n3. Commit with \u0060chore(realisera): checkpoint before worktree dispatch\u0060.\n4. If pre-commit hooks reject: fix, re-stage, retry. If retry fails, abort spawn.\n\n**Stale-base awareness**: Before spawning, run \u0060git rev-list --count origin/main..HEAD\u0060. If count > 0, do not merge the worktree branch. Fetch the sub-agent's diff and apply it to the main checkout.\n\nRuntime subagent mechanisms:\n\n| Runtime | Substrate | Limitation |\n|---------|-----------|------------|\n| Claude Code | Task tool with worktree-aware prompt | Native in-session spawn. |\n| OpenCode | \u0060@<capability>\u0060 descriptors from \u0060~/.config/opencode/agents/*.md\u0060 or a host Task subagent | Same working tree unless this step explicitly creates and targets a manual git worktree. |\n| Codex CLI | \u0060~/.codex/agents/*.toml\u0060 descriptors plus \u0060[agents]\u0060 limits | Agentera setup installs descriptor files; do not write legacy \u0060[agents.<name>]\u0060 config blocks. |\n| Copilot CLI | User-driven \u0060/fleet\u0060 or equivalent host action | No guaranteed programmatic in-session spawn. |\n\nNever spawn workers by running unsupported capability-name CLI commands such as \u0060agentera realisera\u0060; use the runtime-native subagent surface with the implementation prompt below.\n\nSpawn an implementation sub-agent in a worktree with:\n\n- The plan from step 4\n- Relevant context files\n- Clear constraint: implement the plan and nothing else\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\nYou are implementing a focused change for [project].\n\n## Task\n[The plan]\n\n## Constraints\n- Implement ONLY what the plan describes. No scope creep.\n- Follow existing code patterns and conventions.\n- Read the files you are modifying before changing them.\n- Verify the change works as described, then run the project's test/build suite.\n- If you encounter a bug unrelated to your task, note it but do not fix it.\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n### Step 6: Verify\n\nVerification has two phases: structural and behavioral. Both must pass before commit.\n\n**Phase A, structural verification**: After implementation:\n\n1. **Check the diff**: does it match the plan?\n2. **Functional check**: does the changed behavior work end-to-end?\n3. **Run the project's verification suite** (test/build/lint).\n\n**Phase B, behavioral verification gate**: observe the new behavior by running the project's primary entrypoint against real project state:\n\n- CLI tool: invoke with realistic arguments\n- Library/SDK: run a smoke driver\n- Web service: send a request to a production-shaped endpoint\n- Skill repo: \u0060npx -y agentera verify eval skills --skill <name>\u0060\n\nIf verification fails: diagnose, spawn a fix agent, re-verify.\n\n**N/A path**: If the cycle has no runnable behavior change, use \u0060N/A: <tag>\u0060 from the allowlist: \u0060docs-only\u0060, \u0060refactor-no-behavior-change\u0060, \u0060chore-dep-bump\u0060, \u0060chore-build-config\u0060, \u0060test-only\u0060.\n\n### Step 7: Commit\n\nOnce verified, commit with a conventional commit message: \u0060type(scope): summary\u0060.\n\nTypes: \u0060feat\u0060, \u0060fix\u0060, \u0060docs\u0060, \u0060refactor\u0060, \u0060chore\u0060, \u0060test\u0060. Include all related files. Never commit partial or broken work. Never push to remote.\n\nIf the current task is a version bump: read DOCS.md for the \u0060versioning\u0060 section. Update every file in \u0060version_files\u0060.\n\n### Step 8: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns, abstraction creep, and filler accumulation.\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\n### Step 9: Log\n\n**Dual-write**: realisera maintains the resolved PROGRESS.md YAML artifact and root CHANGELOG.md.\n\n- **TODO.md**: add newly discovered open issues in severity bands with \u0060- [ ]\u0060. Move completed work to \u0060## ✓ Resolved\u0060 as \u0060- [x]\u0060 with a resolution summary; never leave checked or strikethrough items in severity bands. The validate-artifact hook auto-compacts Resolved when the 10/40/50 cap is exceeded.\n- **PROGRESS.md**: insert the newest cycle entry before older active cycles. The \u0060verified\u0060 field is mandatory.\n- **CHANGELOG.md**: append a one-line entry under \u0060## [Unreleased]\u0060.\n\nAfter writing PROGRESS.md, apply the schema COMPACTION rules if thresholds are exceeded: keep 10 full entries, keep up to 40 one-line archive entries, and drop beyond 50 total. TODO.md Resolved compaction follows the same 10/40/50 cap via the validate-artifact hook or \u0060agentera check compact --mode fix\u0060.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 conventions.\n\nThen stop. One cycle complete.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n\n- NEVER push to any remote. Local commits only.\n- NEVER bypass the project's test/lint/build suite.\n- NEVER modify git config or skip git hooks.\n- NEVER force push, amend published commits, or run destructive git operations.\n- NEVER add placeholder data or functionality.\n- NEVER modify files outside the project directory.\n- NEVER modify the vision artifact during a cycle. Only touch it during a brainstorm.\n- One cycle per invocation. Do not attempt multiple cycles.\n\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Handling blocked work\n\nIf blocked:\n\n1. Log blocker in TODO.md with context and decision needed\n2. Log skipped attempt in PROGRESS.md\n3. Pick different work and complete a full cycle on that instead\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060─── ⧉ realisera · <status> ───\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): One full cycle completed. Work selected, implemented, verified, committed, artifacts updated.\n- **flagged** (EX2): Cycle completed but with notable issues: verification warnings, scope reduction, or discoveries suggesting next cycle may face blockers.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot complete: the vision artifact is missing and brainstorm can't proceed, all work blocked, or verification suite broken.\n- **waiting** (EX4): No vision artifact and no codebase to infer direction, or user instruction too ambiguous.\n\nBefore reporting any status, inspect the last 3 entries in PROGRESS.md. If all 3 record failed cycles, stop, log the failure pattern to TODO.md, and surface to the user. Do not attempt a 4th consecutive cycle on the same failing problem.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nRealisera is part of a twelve-capability suite.\n\n### Delegates to ⛥ visionera\n\nWhen visionera is installed and the vision artifact doesn't exist, suggest ⛥ visionera for deep vision creation. If visionera is NOT installed, the built-in brainstorm works as a standalone fallback.\n\n### Delegates to ⎘ optimera\n\nWhen picked work is optimization-shaped (improving a measurable metric), delegate to optimera.\n\n### Uses ⬚ inspirera\n\nIn Step 3 (Seek inspiration), search for external approaches. For deeper analysis, use \u0060/agentera research <url>\u0060.\n\n### Reads ♾ profilera output\n\nEvery cycle runs the effective profile script. Confidence thresholds (CS1-CS5) determine which entries are strong constraints vs suggestions.\n\n### Uses ❈ resonera for complex decisions\n\nWhen the brainstorm or work selection surfaces a decision too complex for inline resolution, suggest ❈ resonera.\n\n### Consumes ≡ planera plans\n\nWhen PLAN.md exists with pending tasks, Step 2 reads the plan instead of reasoning from vision. Pick next pending task with satisfied dependencies. Update task status. When \u0060header.status: complete\u0060 and every task is complete, run the plan-completion sweep, archive PLAN.md before removing active state, and preserve lineage/evidence.\n\n### Reads ▤ dokumentera output\n\nDOCS.md provides artifact path resolution. In the docs-first workflow, dokumentera writes intent docs that feed planera, which feeds realisera.\n\n### Reads ◰ visualisera output\n\nDESIGN.md provides visual identity context respected when building user-facing features.\n\n### Audited by ⛶ inspektera\n\nHEALTH.md findings become candidates for work selection. Run ⛶ inspektera every 5-10 cycles.\n"`);

Evaluate, Reframe, Assimilate**\n\nAnalyze an external resource and map its ideas to a target project. Output a structured markdown analysis the user can navigate and act on.\n\nSkill introduction: \u0060─── ⬚ research · analysis ───\u0060\n\n---\n\n## Visual identity\n\nGlyph: **⬚** (protocol ref: SG10). Used in the mandatory exit marker.\n\n---\n\n## State artifacts\n\nNo dedicated state file. Writes to other capabilities' artifacts.\n\n| Artifact | Purpose | Path |\n|----------|---------|------|\n| TODO.md | File actionable findings for build (severity per protocol SF1-SF3) | \u0060TODO.md\u0060 (per DOCS.md mapping) |\n| VISION.md | Refine direction when inspiration shifts thinking | \u0060VISION.md\u0060 (per DOCS.md mapping) |\n| PROFILE.md | Decision profile for persona-grounded applicability judgments | \u0060$AGENTERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 (global, not project-scoped) |\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nBefore reading or writing any artifact, check if .agentera/docs.yaml exists. If it has an Artifact Mapping section, use the path specified for each canonical filename (TODO.md, VISION.md, etc.). If .agentera/docs.yaml doesn't exist or has no mapping for a given artifact, use the default layout: TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md, and DESIGN.md at the project root; canonical VISION.md at .agentera/vision.yaml; other agent-facing artifacts at .agentera/*.yaml. This applies to all artifact references in this capability, including cross-capability writes (TODO.md, VISION.md).\n\nPROFILE.md is global, not project-scoped. Its path is determined by profile: \u0060$AGENTERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 (default: \u0060$XDG_DATA_HOME/agentera/PROFILE.md\u0060). Check the profile-determined path directly rather than falling back to the project root.\n\n### Contract values\n\nContract values are inlined where referenced. Visual tokens from protocol: confidence tokens VT9-VT11 (━/─/┄), list item VT15 (▸), inline separator VT16 (·), section divider VT14. Skill glyph SG10 for exit markers. Exit signals EX1-EX4 for status reporting. Severity finding levels SF1-SF3 for TODO.md entries.\n\n\u0060references/contract.md\u0060 (at the v2 skill location \u0060skills/agentera/references/contract.md\u0060) remains available as a full-spec reference for ambiguous cases or cross-checking.\n\n---\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/5: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: identify, read, explore, map, deliver.\n\n---\n\n## Step 1: Identify source and target\n\nFrom the user's message, extract:\n\n- **Source**: the external URL (GitHub repo, article, docs, HN thread, etc.)\n- **Target**: the user's project, which could be any of:\n  - A **GitHub repo URL** → explore via the optional GitHub MCP integration\n  - A **local path** or project name → explore via filesystem tools\n  - The **current working directory** → if the user says \"my project\" / \"what I'm building\" without a URL, and they're clearly working in a project, treat cwd as the target\n  - **Absent** → if truly no target is implied, skip Steps 3–4 and do source-only analysis\n\n---\n\n## Step 2: Read the source\n\nThis should feel like a colleague diving into something interesting, genuinely curious, reading deeply, forming opinions as you go. Not a report generator collecting data points.\n\n### GitHub repos\n\nUse the optional GitHub MCP integration to explore deeply:\n\n1. List root directory structure\n2. Read README\n3. Read key source directories until you understand: core abstractions, design patterns,\n   notable primitives, dependencies, clever approaches worth borrowing\n\nGo deep and don't stop at the README. If the optional GitHub MCP integration\nreturns errors, fall back to public pages or note the limitation.\n\n### Articles, blog posts, docs pages\n\nFetch full content. Extract core thesis, named concepts/patterns, code samples, and referenced tools. If paywalled, try reader-mode variant; if that fails, note the limitation.\n\n### Hacker News threads\n\nRead both the linked article and top comments. HN comments often contain the most useful distillation. Treat as signal.\n\n### Known libraries\n\nFor well-known libraries, also check context7 for up-to-date docs beyond the README.\n\nBefore proceeding to target analysis: in your response, list the 3-5 most transferable concepts from the source. These survive if the source file reads are cleared.\n\n---\n\n## Step 3: Read the target project\n\nChoose the exploration strategy based on the target type identified in Step 1.\n\n### Local projects (current directory or local path)\n\nCommon case. Use filesystem tools (faster, includes uncommitted work):\n\n1. \u0060Glob\u0060 to map the directory structure (e.g. \u0060**/*.{ts,go,py,rs}\u0060)\n2. Read README.md if one exists\n3. Check dependency manifests (\u0060package.json\u0060, \u0060go.mod\u0060, \u0060Cargo.toml\u0060, \u0060pyproject.toml\u0060, etc.)\n4. \u0060Grep\u0060 for patterns, imports, or abstractions relevant to the source's concepts\n5. Read key source files to understand architecture and current patterns\n\n### Remote GitHub repos\n\nUse the optional GitHub MCP integration:\n\n1. List the root directory structure\n2. Read the README\n3. Read dependency manifests and key source files\n\n### Build understanding of\n\nLanguage, stack, dependencies, architecture, patterns, and problems being solved.\n\n### Check for existing usage\n\nDoes the target already use the source (or a fork/alternative)?\n\n- **Already using**: \"Getting the most out of it?\" Focus on underused features and better patterns.\n- **Using alternative**: \"Worth switching?\" Compare approaches and migration cost.\n- **Not using**: \"Should you adopt?\" This is the default framing.\n\n---\n\n## Step 4: Map concepts across\n\nWith both codebases understood, reason about applicability:\n\n- What is the source doing that the target should be?\n- Abstractions that simplify current complexity?\n- Patterns the target implements manually or poorly?\n- Primitives worth borrowing or adapting?\n- Source doing something the target does, but better?\n- Fundamentally incompatible? Say so clearly.\n- Adoption cost: one-file change or multi-sprint refactor?\n\n---\n\n## Step 5: Deliver the analysis\n\nThe sharp colleague, here to share what you dug up, not file a report. Open with your take before the structured sections: what excited you, what surprised you, what the user should care about most. \"Here's what I found and what matters for us.\" The structured analysis follows, but the human read comes first.\n\nWrite a **structured markdown analysis**:\n\n### Output format\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\u0060markdown\n# [Source Name] → [Target Name]: Cross-Pollination Analysis\n\n## TL;DR\nOne or two sentences. Is this worth pursuing? What's the strongest single takeaway?\n\n## Source Overview\nBrief summary of what the source does and its core design philosophy.\n\n## Key Concepts\n\n### [Concept Name]\nWhat it is, why it's interesting, and where/how it concretely applies to the target.\n\n### [Concept Name]\nSection repeats for each significant concept (typically 2–5).\n\nReasoning about applicability SHOULD live in the response text, not the matrix.\nThe Applicability Matrix MUST contain only conclusions, not reasoning chains.\nEach matrix cell MUST be ≤15 words.\n\n## Applicability Matrix\n\n| Concept | Relevance | Effort | Where in [Target] | Already Partially Done? |\n|---------|-----------|--------|-------------------|------------------------|\n| ...     | High/Med/Low | Low/Med/High | specific module or file | Yes/No |\n\n## What Doesn't Apply\nHonest assessment of concepts/patterns that look interesting but don't fit, and why.\nBeing clear about what *not* to adopt is as valuable as the recommendations.\n\n## Recommended Next Steps\n▸ [action] · [specific file or module]\n▸ [action] · [specific file or module]\nSteps SHOULD be ordered by value/effort ratio.\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n**Tone**: direct, technically fluent. Skip empty sections.

Present findings and get approval before filing.\n- NEVER present shallow analysis as deep insight. If you haven't read the source thoroughly, say so.\n- NEVER recommend adoption without assessing fit.

If PROFILE.md is missing, proceed without persona grounding.\n\n### Feeding into vision\n\nWhen the analysis shifts thinking about the project's direction (a new paradigm, a competitor's approach, or a user need not yet captured), the findings can inform vision refinement. Suggest ⛥ vision to revisit VISION.md with the new context.\n\n### Feeding into plan\n\nWhen the analysis recommends adopting patterns or libraries, plan can incorporate those recommendations into a plan's design section and task decomposition.\n\n### Feeding into discuss\n\nWhen the analysis surfaces recommendations that require deliberation (competing approaches, unclear adoption cost, or tradeoffs the user needs to resolve), suggest ❈ discuss to think it through before acting.

Existing decisions artifacts provide repository-local examples of the shape.\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nBefore reading or writing any artifact, check if \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 exists. If it has an Artifact Mapping section, use the path specified for each canonical filename. If \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 doesn't exist or has no mapping for a given artifact, use the default layout: TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md, and DESIGN.md at the project root; canonical VISION.md at \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060; other agent-facing artifacts at \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060.\n\nWhen feeding a decision into OBJECTIVE.md, write to the active objective's file at \u0060.agentera/optimera/<objective-name>/objective.yaml\u0060 using optimera's active-objective inference.\n\n### Contract values\n\nContract values are inlined where referenced.

If something's taken for granted, poke at it.\n- Celebrate insights. One question at a time; let the user think.\n\n---\n\n## Interaction rules\n\n- Once routed to resonera, ask every user-facing deliberation question through\n  the runtime-native question tool: Claude Code \u0060AskUserQuestion\u0060, OpenCode\n  \u0060question\u0060, Copilot \u0060ask_user\u0060, and Codex \u0060request_user_input\u0060.\n  **One per turn, no exceptions.** This overrides the routing layer's\n  generic hej/handoff question-tool gate.\n- Every question includes a \u0060Done\u0060 option.\n- If the user asks for a recommendation, provide a provisional recommendation\n  in the question text, then ask whether to accept it, challenge it, choose an\n  alternative, or stop.\n- Don't ask about \"depth\" or \"mode.\" Read the room.\n\n---\n\n## Starting a session\n\n### If a topic is provided\n\n1. Read relevant codebase context (enough to ask informed questions, not a research binge)\n2. If decision profile exists, read \u0060$PROFILERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 directly. Check for high-confidence entries and surface them.\n3. Run \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 for prior decision context. Use the returned \u0060entries\u0060 and \u0060source_contract\u0060 as sufficient for normal deliberation, including capability startup fallback.\n4. Reflect your understanding in 1-2 sentences\n5. Ask the first question through the runtime-native question tool; for\n   \u0060resonera <topic>\u0060, this is the first user-facing action after the reflection.\n\n### Decision context source contract\n\nFor normal startup and deliberation, \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 is the\ndecision context source. The JSON result includes active and archive entries,\ntop-level \u0060source_contract\u0060 guidance, and per-decision \u0060context_complete\u0060,\n\u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, and \u0060caveats\u0060 fields.\n\n- When \u0060source_contract.complete_for_returned_decisions\u0060 is true, reference the returned decisions without defensively reading raw \u0060.agentera/decisions.yaml\u0060.\n- When a returned decision is compacted or incomplete, surface the missing context as a decision caveat and continue with only the structured fields present.\n- Do not reconstruct absent historical reasoning, alternatives, confidence, or downstream references during normal deliberation.\n- Read the raw decision artifact only for explicit artifact repair/corruption work or after the CLI itself reports an unavailable/defective state path.\n- When source_contract reports \u0060complete_for_normal_deliberation_context=true\u0060, do not raw-read \u0060.agentera/decisions.yaml\u0060 merely because \u0060complete_for_decision_context\u0060 is false; preserve \u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, \u0060caveats\u0060, and \u0060satisfaction.review_needed\u0060 in downstream handoffs.\n\n### Decision satisfaction authority\n\nWhen deliberation touches decision satisfaction, agents may mark provisional\nsatisfaction with evidence only. Resonera must not mark or imply user-confirmed\nfinal satisfaction unless the user explicitly confirms it in the current\ndeliberation; only the user confirms final satisfaction. If decisions are\ncompacted, missing satisfaction state, open, provisional, or review-needed,\npreserve the caveat and review pressure in the scratchpad or decision note\ninstead of reconstructing hidden outcomes or claiming automation proved intent.\n\n### If no topic is provided\n\nAsk what's on their mind.\n\n---\n\n## Running state\n\nAfter each answer, show a short scratchpad:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n── scratchpad\n\nDecision: one-liner framing of what's being decided, updated as understanding evolves\n\nConstraints:\n▸ hard requirements that any option must satisfy\n\nOptions:\n▸ the options being considered · emerging pros/cons\n\nCrux: the key tension or uncertainty that needs to resolve for the decision to land\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n5-8 bullets max. Drop items that stop being relevant.\n\n---\n\n## Asking good questions\n\nQuestions should do one of these:\n\n- **Clarify**: \"When you say X, do you mean A or B?\"\n- **Dig deeper**: \"What's driving that? What happens if that's wrong?\"\n- **Reframe**: \"What if you looked at this from the user's perspective instead?\"\n- **Challenge**: \"Is that actually true, or is it just how it's always been done?\"\n- **Connect**: \"That sounds like the same tension as Y. Is there a link?\"\n- **Unstick**: \"If you had to decide right now with what you know, what would you pick?\"\n- **Scope**: \"What's in and what's out? Where do you draw the line?\"\n- **Constrain**: \"What absolutely must NOT happen?\"\n- **Tradeoff**: \"You can't have both X and Y at this scale. Which do you optimize for?\"\n\nOutput constraint: ≤15 words per question.\n\n### When the decision involves code\n\nRead files or search the web for better questions, but just enough context.\n\n### When the decision profile has signal\n\nSkip settled ground. Don't re-ask what the profile answers with high confidence.\n\n### Pushback discipline\n\nHonest friction. Don't let vague answers slide.\n\n- **Demand specifics.** \"What does 'better' look like? What would you measure?\"\n- **Name hidden assumptions.** \"That assumes X. Based on something you've seen, or a hunch?\"\n- **Reframe imprecise framing.** \"Let me restate: I think the real question is Y, not X.\"\n- **Don't lower the bar.** \"Earlier you wanted Z. This gives half. Is half enough?\"\n\n### Pressure-test committed directions\n\nWhen the user leans toward a consequential direction, challenge before offering alternatives:\n\n1. Name 1-3 context-specific blind spots first.\n2. Then present serious alternatives with concrete win conditions.\n3. Make the call with explicit confidence (DL1-DL3).\n\nRed-flag phrasing is banned:\n\n- \"That sounds reasonable.\"\n- \"Either way is fine.\"\n- \"It depends\" without naming the deciding variable.\n- \"There is no wrong answer here.\"\n- \"Both options are valid\" when one conflicts with constraints.\n\n---\n\n## When the user picks \"Done\"\n\nProduce something actionable.\n\n### Step 1: Summarize the decision\n\nBrief, casual: where we landed (2-3 sentences), key insight, confidence (DL1/DL2/DL3).\n\n### Step 2: Offer to capture and connect\n\nRelevant options only:\n\n- **Log it**: add a new numbered entry to \u0060DECISIONS.md\u0060 (always offered)\n- **Feed into VISION.md**: if about direction/scope/principles\n- **Feed into OBJECTIVE.md**: if about what to optimize\n- **File to TODO.md**: if surfaced tech debt\n- **Just wrap up**: no artifacts needed\n\n### Step 3: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns, abstraction creep, and filler accumulation.\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\n### Step 4: Write artifacts\n\nFor any option the user selects:\n\n- **DECISIONS.md**: write chosen decision, confidence, and rationale per contract token budgets. Compute next decision number before writing. Apply the schema COMPACTION rules before writing if thresholds are exceeded: keep 10 full decisions, keep up to 40 one-line archive entries, and drop beyond 50 total.\n- **VISION.md / OBJECTIVE.md**: brief follow-up. Present draft for approval.\n- **TODO.md**: standard format (severity, context, impact).\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 conventions.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n\n- NEVER make the decision for the user. Your job is to help them think, not to decide.\n- NEVER skip to implementation. Resonera deliberates; other capabilities build.\n- NEVER modify VISION.md, OBJECTIVE.md, or TODO.md without explicit user confirmation.\n- NEVER ask compound questions. One question per turn.\n- NEVER ignore the decision profile. If high-confidence entries exist, acknowledge them.\n- NEVER dismiss a user's stated concern. Explore it.\n\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060─── ❈ resonera · <status> ───\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): Deliberation reached a conclusion; artifacts written with user approval; decision confidence captured.\n- **flagged** (EX2): Deliberation concluded but decision remains unresolved or provisional; significant tensions unresolved; conclusion contradicts prior decisions.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot proceed: topic requires inaccessible external research, or artifact write failed.\n- **waiting** (EX4): No topic provided and user hasn't responded, or surfaced that a different capability is needed first.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nResonera is the deliberation layer.\n\n### Feeds into ⧉ realisera\n\nDecisions about project direction captured in VISION.md.

The JSON result includes active and archive entries,\ntop-level \u0060source_contract\u0060 guidance, and per-decision \u0060context_complete\u0060,\n\u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, and \u0060caveats\u0060 fields.\n\n- When \u0060source_contract.complete_for_returned_decisions\u0060 is true, reference the returned decisions without defensively reading raw \u0060.agentera/decisions.yaml\u0060.\n- When a returned decision is compacted or incomplete, surface the missing context as a decision caveat and continue with only the structured fields present.\n- Do not reconstruct absent historical reasoning, alternatives, confidence, or downstream references during normal deliberation.\n- Read the raw decision artifact only for explicit artifact repair/corruption work or after the CLI itself reports an unavailable/defective state path.\n- When source_contract reports \u0060complete_for_normal_deliberation_context=true\u0060, do not raw-read \u0060.agentera/decisions.yaml\u0060 merely because \u0060complete_for_decision_context\u0060 is false; preserve \u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, \u0060caveats\u0060, and \u0060satisfaction.review_needed\u0060 in downstream handoffs.\n\n### Decision satisfaction authority\n\nWhen deliberation touches decision satisfaction, agents may mark provisional\nsatisfaction with evidence only. Resonera must not mark or imply user-confirmed\nfinal satisfaction unless the user explicitly confirms it in the current\ndeliberation; only the user confirms final satisfaction. If decisions are\ncompacted, missing satisfaction state, open, provisional, or review-needed,\npreserve the caveat and review pressure in the scratchpad or decision note\ninstead of reconstructing hidden outcomes or claiming automation proved intent.\n\n### If no topic is provided\n\nAsk what's on their mind.\n\n---\n\n## Running state\n\nAfter each answer, show a short scratchpad:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n── scratchpad\n\nDecision: one-liner framing of what's being decided, updated as understanding evolves\n\nConstraints:\n▸ hard requirements that any option must satisfy\n\nOptions:\n▸ the options being considered · emerging pros/cons\n\nCrux: the key tension or uncertainty that needs to resolve for the decision to land\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n5-8 bullets max. Drop items that stop being relevant.\n\n---\n\n## Asking good questions\n\nQuestions should do one of these:\n\n- **Clarify**: \"When you say X, do you mean A or B?\"\n- **Dig deeper**: \"What's driving that? What happens if that's wrong?\"\n- **Reframe**: \"What if you looked at this from the user's perspective instead?\"\n- **Challenge**: \"Is that actually true, or is it just how it's always been done?\"\n- **Connect**: \"That sounds like the same tension as Y. Is there a link?\"\n- **Unstick**: \"If you had to decide right now with what you know, what would you pick?\"\n- **Scope**: \"What's in and what's out? Where do you draw the line?\"\n- **Constrain**: \"What absolutely must NOT happen?\"\n- **Tradeoff**: \"You can't have both X and Y at this scale. Which do you optimize for?\"\n\nOutput constraint: ≤15 words per question.\n\n### When the decision involves code\n\nRead files or search the web for better questions, but just enough context.\n\n### When the decision profile has signal\n\nSkip settled ground. Don't re-ask what the profile answers with high confidence.\n\n### Pushback discipline\n\nHonest friction. Don't let vague answers slide.\n\n- **Demand specifics.** \"What does 'better' look like? What would you measure?\"\n- **Name hidden assumptions.** \"That assumes X. Based on something you've seen, or a hunch?\"\n- **Reframe imprecise framing.** \"Let me restate: I think the real question is Y, not X.\"\n- **Don't lower the bar.** \"Earlier you wanted Z. This gives half. Is half enough?\"\n\n### Pressure-test committed directions\n\nWhen the user leans toward a consequential direction, challenge before offering alternatives:\n\n1. Name 1-3 context-specific blind spots first.\n2. Then present serious alternatives with concrete win conditions.\n3. Make the call with explicit confidence (DL1-DL3).\n\nRed-flag phrasing is banned:\n\n- \"That sounds reasonable.\"\n- \"Either way is fine.\"\n- \"It depends\" without naming the deciding variable.\n- \"There is no wrong answer here.\"\n- \"Both options are valid\" when one conflicts with constraints.\n\n---\n\n## When the user picks \"Done\"\n\nProduce something actionable.\n\n### Step 1: Summarize the decision\n\nBrief, casual: where we landed (2-3 sentences), key insight, confidence (DL1/DL2/DL3).\n\n### Step 2: Offer to capture and connect\n\nRelevant options only:\n\n- **Log it**: add a new numbered entry to \u0060DECISIONS.md\u0060 (always offered)\n- **Feed into VISION.md**: if about direction/scope/principles\n- **Feed into OBJECTIVE.md**: if about what to optimize\n- **File to TODO.md**: if surfaced tech debt\n- **Just wrap up**: no artifacts needed\n\n### Step 3: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera check lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns, abstraction creep, and filler accumulation.\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\n### Step 4: Write artifacts\n\nFor any option the user selects:\n\n- **DECISIONS.md**: write chosen decision, confidence, and rationale per contract token budgets. Compute next decision number before writing. Apply the schema COMPACTION rules before writing if thresholds are exceeded: keep 10 full decisions, keep up to 40 one-line archive entries, and drop beyond 50 total.\n- **VISION.md / OBJECTIVE.md**: brief follow-up. Present draft for approval.\n- **TODO.md**: standard format (severity, context, impact).\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 conventions.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n\n- NEVER make the decision for the user. Your job is to help them think, not to decide.\n- NEVER skip to implementation. Resonera deliberates; other capabilities build.\n- NEVER modify VISION.md, OBJECTIVE.md, or TODO.md without explicit user confirmation.\n- NEVER ask compound questions. One question per turn.\n- NEVER ignore the decision profile. If high-confidence entries exist, acknowledge them.\n- NEVER dismiss a user's stated concern. Explore it.\n\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060─── ❈ resonera · <status> ───\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): Deliberation reached a conclusion; artifacts written with user approval; decision confidence captured.\n- **flagged** (EX2): Deliberation concluded but decision remains unresolved or provisional; significant tensions unresolved; conclusion contradicts prior decisions.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot proceed: topic requires inaccessible external research, or artifact write failed.\n- **waiting** (EX4): No topic provided and user hasn't responded, or surfaced that a different capability is needed first.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nResonera is the deliberation layer.\n\n### Feeds into ⧉ realisera\n\nDecisions about project direction captured in VISION.md.

Detects fresh vs returning, delivers a situational briefing, routes to the right capability. Same on first install and 100th session. A bare user message exactly \u0060/agentera\u0060 uses this same briefing path, not generic greeting behavior.\n\nEach invocation = one orientation. Uses the CLI composite briefing first,\nwrites nothing.\n\n---\n\n## State artifacts\n\nGlyph: **⌂** (SG1). Status reads suite state through \u0060agentera prime\u0060 and writes\nnothing. It may fall back to direct reads only when the composite command fails\nor explicitly asks for fallback.\n\n### CLI-first access\n\nFor returning projects, run one composite command before any individual state\naccess:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060bash\nnpx -y agentera prime\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nUse that output to render the dashboard and select the concrete next action. Do\nnot relay raw CLI lines as the user-facing briefing. Source labels such as\n\u0060mode:\u0060, \u0060profile:\u0060, \u0060v1_migration:\u0060, \u0060health:\u0060, \u0060todo:\u0060, \u0060plan:\u0060,\n\u0060objective:\u0060, \u0060attention:\u0060, \u0060next_action:\u0060, \u0060source_contract:\u0060, and the\ncompatibility \u0060bundle:\u0060 installed-app status object are parsing aids, not\ndashboard lines. Do not run \u0060agentera plan\u0060, \u0060agentera progress\u0060, \u0060agentera\nhealth\u0060, \u0060agentera todo\u0060, \u0060agentera decisions\u0060, or \u0060agentera objective\u0060 as part\nof normal status briefing assembly. Do not read raw\n\u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060 files for normal status orientation. If a normal dashboard field\nis missing from \u0060agentera prime\u0060, fix or extend the composite CLI contract instead\nof adding routine fallback reads. Use top-level fallback commands only when\n\u0060agentera prime\u0060 fails or explicitly reports fallback-only recovery.\n\nResolve \u0060RESOLVED_AGENTERA_HOME\u0060 with the app-home precedence \u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060\nwhen set, otherwise the platform data home, then run\nthe installed command once. Do not preflight app health with \u0060glob\u0060, \u0060grep\u0060,\n\u0060read\u0060, \u0060ls\u0060, \u0060python\u0060, \u0060doctor\u0060, \u0060--help\u0060,\n\u0060registry.json\u0060, or \u0060.agentera-bundle.json\u0060.\nNever combine the app-home assignment with the same shell command that expands\nthe managed app script path; shell expansion can otherwise turn an unset\n\u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060 into \u0060npx -y agentera\u0060 before the assignment takes effect.\n\nRecovery copy must be plain-language and recommendation-first. Never ask users\nto choose between technical install concepts, internal directory states,\ncommand-mode flags, or package-layout terms. Say what happened, what changed,\nwhat the safe fix does, and what it will not touch. The safe fix must say it will\nnot edit project files, shell startup files, or unknown directories. Good recovery labels are \u0060Use the safe fix\n(Recommended)\u0060, \u0060Choose a different directory\u0060, and \u0060Stop\u0060.\n\nIf the command cannot execute because \u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060 names the old default\n\u0060$HOME/.agents/agentera\u0060 and \u0060npx -y agentera\u0060 is missing,\ndo not require a successful failed CLI invocation and do not first ask the user to\nunset \u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060. Say: \u0060Agentera found an old or broken local copy of\nitself. The safe fix is to install a fresh copy in the normal Agentera directory.\u0060\nThen show this preview command and say it changes nothing:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060bash\nnpx -y agentera@latest doctor\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nThat preview writes nothing. Because no explicit \u0060--install-root\u0060 is supplied,\nupgrade can choose the normal platform app directory and preview repair for app\nfiles, managed runtime surfaces, and cleanup of the old directory. Ask for\nexplicit approval before writes, using plain wording such as\n\u0060Approve the safe Agentera repair at <directory>\u0060. Then apply the same safe repair path:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060bash\nnpx -y agentera@latest prime\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nAfter apply, retry the installed command from the platform app home reported by\nthe upgrade output, not from the old default directory. If the command exits\nsuccessfully, inspect the CLI-provided \u0060bundle.status\u0060 installed-app status\nobject. Only \u0060up_to_date\u0060 passes the installed Agentera app gate for normal briefing.\nThe object also carries \u0060appHome\u0060, \u0060managedAppRoot\u0060, \u0060userDataRoot\u0060,\n\u0060expectedVersionSource\u0060, \u0060bundle.dryRunCommand\u0060, \u0060bundle.applyCommand\u0060, and\napproval text. If the installed command cannot execute, is out of date, missing\n\u0060prime\u0060, fails before argparse, or reports manual-review-needed/repair-needed status, tell\nthe user \u0060Agentera found an old or broken local copy of itself.\u0060 Then preview the\nrepair with the CLI-provided command when present:\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060bash\nnpx -y agentera@latest doctor\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nDo not run the matching apply command until the user explicitly approves the\nsame Agentera repair and directory.\nAfter apply, retry \u0060npx -y agentera prime\u0060; do not treat local checkout\nfallback as installed-app success. If \u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060 names the old default\n\u0060$HOME/.agents/agentera\u0060, no explicit \u0060--install-root\u0060 was supplied, and\n\u0060npx -y agentera\u0060 is missing or out of date, show the normal\nAgentera directory preview above instead of first asking the user to unset\n\u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060; do not claim to prove where the environment value came from. If\n\u0060AGENTERA_HOME\u0060 points at any other missing path, file, or directory with unknown\nfiles, say: \u0060Agentera was told to use a directory it cannot safely use. Choose a\ndifferent Agentera directory, or approve --force only after checking that directory is\nsafe to replace.\u0060\n\nIf doctor reports a leftover 1.x managed marker block in\nshell startup files, say plainly that Agentera will not edit those files.\nCleanup is user-owned manual cleanup, not a repair write.\n\nUse \u0060agentera query <artifact-name> --format json|yaml\u0060 only for advanced or\ncustom artifact inspection when no top-level command serves the needed state.\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nOnly if \u0060agentera prime\u0060 fails and fallback raw artifact access is explicitly\nneeded, check \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 for path mappings before reading artifacts.\nWithout a mapping, use the default layout:\n\n- Human-facing artifacts at the project root (Markdown): \u0060TODO.md\u0060, \u0060CHANGELOG.md\u0060, \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060\n- Agent-facing artifacts in \u0060.agentera/\u0060 (YAML): \u0060progress.yaml\u0060, \u0060decisions.yaml\u0060, \u0060health.yaml\u0060, \u0060plan.yaml\u0060, \u0060docs.yaml\u0060, \u0060vision.yaml\u0060, and per-objective \u0060objective.yaml\u0060 / \u0060experiments.yaml\u0060\n\nCanonical names are identifiers, not literal paths. PROFILE.md is global:\n\u0060$AGENTERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060, default \u0060$XDG_DATA_HOME/agentera/PROFILE.md\u0060.\n\n### Contract values\n\nUse protocol tokens by ID where needed: severity arrows VT5-VT8, trend arrows\nVT12-VT13, progress bar VT18, separator VT16, list item VT15, section divider\nVT14, flow arrow VT17, skill glyphs SG1-SG12, exits EX1-EX4, issues SI1-SI4.\n\n---\n\n## Step 0: Detect mode\n\nRun the resolved installed \u0060agentera prime\u0060 and use its \u0060mode\u0060 field. If the\ninstalled-app status check reports out-of-date or blocked, show the CLI-provided\nrefresh preview before normal mode handling.\n\n- **No artifacts found** → Step 1a (first time on this project)\n- **Artifacts found** → Step 1b (returning to known project)\n\nNarration voice: warm, brief, unscripted.\n\n---\n\n## Step 0.5: CLI-owned checks\n\nDo not run separate v1 artifact or PROFILE.md checks during normal status\norientation. \u0060agentera prime\u0060 owns those checks and emits the mode, profile status,\n\u0060v1_migration.detected\u0060, \u0060v1_migration.affected_files\u0060,\n\u0060v1_migration.dry_run_command\u0060, \u0060v1_migration.apply_command\u0060, \u0060project_integration.recommendation\u0060, \u0060project_integration.message\u0060, \u0060project_integration.dry_run_command\u0060, \u0060project_integration.apply_command\u0060, attention items,\nand next action. When \u0060project_integration.recommendation\u0060 is \u0060upgrade\u0060, explain the plain-language \u0060project_integration.message\u0060, show the preview command (\u0060project_integration.dry_run_command\u0060; it changes nothing), and ask before \u0060project_integration.apply_command\u0060. When it is \u0060stay\u0060, do not suggest upgrade. User-facing upgrade commands omit \u0060--project\u0060 because the CLI defaults to the current repo. Render those fields; do not spend additional tool calls on\n\u0060.agentera/*.md\u0060, \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060, \u0060VISION.md\u0060, or global profile-path\ndiscovery. Treat \u0060v1_migration.dry_run_command\u0060 as the CLI-supplied preview and\ntell the user it changes nothing. Ask before any upgrade apply command, and only run\n\u0060v1_migration.apply_command\u0060 after confirmation.\nThe artifacts phase migrates supported v1 Markdown files to YAML with backups\nafter preview and confirmation.\n\nIf \u0060v1_migration.detected\u0060 is false, emit no upgrade notice. Profile status is\nalso CLI-owned: render \u0060profile: loaded\u0060 without warning, and render\n\u0060profile.suggested_action\u0060 or a missing-profile attention item only when\n\u0060agentera prime\u0060 supplies one.\n\nIf \u0060npx skills update\u0060 refreshed only the visible skill and \u0060/agentera\u0060 next\nfinds missing or out-of-date app files, explain in plain language that Agentera\nalso needs to repair its local app copy; the visible skill update alone is not\nenough. Package-manager repair commands remain opt-in through\n\u0060--update-packages\u0060.\n\n---\n\n## Step 1a: Welcome\n\nFirst impression: the colleague meets a new project.\n\n1. **Use composite state**: Build the welcome from \u0060agentera prime\u0060 output only.\n   Do not scan README files, git history, languages, framework files, or project\n   size during bare orientation.\n\n2. **Share what's available**: lead with the suggested capability from\n   \u0060next_action\u0060. Do not enumerate the full suite unless asked.\n\n3. **Route**: ask what they'd like to do with a free-form prompt. Do not use a\n   native question menu on the initial welcome unless the user explicitly asked\n   for bounded choices. Invoke a capability only after the user confirms it.\n\n---\n\n## Step 1b: Briefing\n\nShow where things stand.\n\n1. **Use composite state**: Build the briefing from \u0060agentera prime\u0060 output.\n   - Use its mode, profile, health, todo counts, plan progress, objective,\n     attention, and next_action fields.\n   - Do not issue individual artifact queries during normal returning-project\n     orientation.\n   - Do not open raw \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060 files unless the composite command fails\n     or names a fallback need.\n   - If exceptional fallback is required, prefer top-level commands such as\n     \u0060agentera plan\u0060, \u0060agentera progress\u0060, \u0060agentera health\u0060, \u0060agentera todo\u0060,\n     \u0060agentera decisions\u0060, \u0060agentera objective\u0060, and \u0060agentera experiments\u0060.\n     Missing normal dashboard fields should be repaired in \u0060agentera prime\u0060\n     instead of weakening the one-command path.\n   - Keep \u0060agentera query\u0060 for advanced/custom inspection only.\n\n2. **Brief them**: concise status, only what exists. No empty sections.\n   Show the agentera logo.\n\n   \u0060\u0060\u0060\n   ┌─┐┌─┐┌─┐┌┐┌┌┬┐┌─┐┬─┐┌─┐\n   ├─┤│ ┬├┤ │││ │ ├┤ ├┬┘├─┤\n   ┴ ┴└─┘└─┘┘└┘ ┴ └─┘┴└─┴ ┴\n\n   ─── status ─────────────────────────────\n\n     ⛶ health    [⮉|⮋] [grade] ([worst dimension: grade])\n     ⇶ todo      N critical · M degraded · J annoying\n     ≡ plan      [██████▓░░░] N/M tasks\n     ⎘ optim     [metric] [current] → [target]\n     ♾ profile   [loaded | not found]\n\n     [1-2 sentence narrative read: what shipped, what's moving, what needs eyes.\n     Interpretation, not metrics.

Prefer items that unlock product evidence or future plans.\n   - Pending DECISIONS.md follow-up → suggest ❈ discuss for the named unresolved decision.\n   - Vision exists but no plan, objective, decision follow-up, or TODO work is active → suggest ≡ plan.\n   - No vision, no executable follow-ups, and no active plan → suggest ⛥ vision to choose a direction.\n\n   Do not let \u0060healthy + plan complete → ⛥\u0060 override active TODO, OBJECTIVE, DECISIONS, or a newer active PLAN. A completed plan means \"look for the next executable follow-up,\" not automatically \"refresh vision.\"\n\n5. **Route**: present one concrete suggestion and let the user choose. No coercion.\n   - Do not list generic skill options unless the user asks for the full menu.\n   - The waiting bullet should ask whether to run the named action, not ask the user to pick from skills.\n   - On the initial Agentera/status brief, use a free-form continuation prompt rather than a native question menu unless the user asked for bounded choices or the suggested next step is a state-changing Proceed/Cancel handoff.\n   - Mid-conversation, use the native question tool only for at least two meaningful non-terminal next actions or a consequential Proceed/Cancel decision; \u0060Done\u0060 and free-form/custom answer affordances do not count as alternatives.\n   - State-changing handoffs are consequential Proceed/Cancel decisions even when there is only one suggested action. State-changing means the proposed next step may write artifacts, edit code, run optimization or orchestration cycles, apply migrations, refresh app/runtime state, or otherwise mutate project/runtime state.\n   - Use the behavior rule first, with common examples such as ⧉ build, ≡ plan when creating or updating plans, ▤ document when writing docs, ⎘ optimize when running or applying optimization cycles, and ⎈ orchestrate when dispatching cycles.\n   - For one non-mutating suggested action, clear free-form acceptance such as \u0060yes\u0060, \u0060start\u0060, \u0060do it\u0060, or \u0060run <capability>\u0060 confirms that suggestion.

Status's work is done.\n\nUnclear mapping? Ask **one** clarifying question. No compound questions.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n- NEVER execute implementation work. Status orients and routes; it does not build, audit, plan, or decide.\n- NEVER dump full artifact contents verbatim. Summarize concisely; the user can read the files themselves.\n- NEVER skip the briefing in returning mode. The user needs context before choosing a direction.\n- NEVER assume what the user wants without asking. Present the suggestion, then wait for confirmation.\n- NEVER modify any state artifact. Status is strictly read-only.\n- NEVER route to a capability without the user's consent. Suggest, don't force.\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: emit \u0060⌂ status · <status>\u0060 on its own line below the dashboard's closing code fence, followed by a one-sentence summary of what was delivered. For \u0060flagged\u0060 (EX2), \u0060stuck\u0060 (EX3), and \u0060waiting\u0060 (EX4), add a \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet below the summary identifying what the user needs to decide or act on next. The exit marker is mandatory and uses status's canonical glyph \u0060⌂\u0060 (SG1, U+2302).\n\n- **complete** (EX1): Briefing delivered (or welcome shown) and user successfully routed to a capability.\n- **flagged** (EX2): Briefing delivered but critical attention items were found: critical issues, degrading health, loop stop-condition triggers. Each concern is listed explicitly.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot orient: the working directory is not a code project, no readable files exist, or permissions prevent scanning.\n- **waiting** (EX4): Briefing or welcome delivered, suggestion made, awaiting user input on which direction to take.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nStatus is the suite entry point. It reads other capabilities' artifacts, produces\nno artifact, and outputs only a briefing plus routing suggestion.\n"`);

North star, direction, principles, personas, aspirations. An evergreen constitution. | Created via deep brainstorm session, written to \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060 by default. |\n\nUse \u0060agentera describe --format json\u0060 and its \u0060artifact_schemas\u0060 entry for \u0060vision\u0060 to locate the active installed schema; do not search Agentera directories manually. Existing vision artifacts provide repository-local examples of the shape. Vision adapts and expands them based on the conversation.\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nBefore reading or writing any artifact, check if \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 exists. If it has an Artifact Mapping section, use the path specified for each canonical filename (VISION.md, etc.). If \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 doesn't exist or has no mapping for a given artifact, use the default layout: TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md, and DESIGN.md at the project root; canonical VISION.md at \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060; other agent-facing artifacts at \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060. This applies to all artifact references in this capability, including cross-capability reads (.agentera/decisions.yaml, .agentera/health.yaml, .agentera/progress.yaml, TODO.md).\n\n### Contract values\n\nContract values are inlined where referenced. Visual tokens from protocol: severity arrows VT5-VT8, trend arrows VT12-VT13, progress bar VT18, inline separator VT16 (·), list item VT15 (▸), section divider VT14, flow/target VT17 (→). Skill glyph SG6 for the exit marker. Exit signals EX1-EX4 for the exit marker. Confidence scale CS1-CS5 for decision profile consumption.\n\n\u0060references/contract.md\u0060 (at the v2 skill location \u0060skills/agentera/references/contract.md\u0060) remains available as a full-spec reference for ambiguous cases or cross-checking.\n\n---\n\n## vision.yaml shape\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060yaml\nproject_name: Project Name\nnorth_star: The dream.

If DESIGN.md exists, Identity should cohere with the visual system.\n\n---\n\n## Step 0: Detect mode\n\n**If the vision artifact does NOT exist**: Proceed to **Create** mode (Step 1).\n\n**If the vision artifact exists**: Present the mode choice.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"You've already got a vision. Sharpen it or start over?\" · \"Found your vision. Refine what's there, or fresh start?\"\n\nOffer:\n\n> **Refine**: Evolve the existing vision based on what you've learned. Reads the current vision, the codebase state, and recent progress to propose informed updates.\n>\n> **Replace**: Start fresh with a deep brainstorm. Archives the current vision and creates a new one from scratch.\n\nIf **Refine**, skip to Refine mode.\nIf **Replace**, archive the current vision artifact to \u0060.agentera/archive/vision-{date}.yaml\u0060, then proceed to Create mode.\n\n---\n\n## Create mode\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/5: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: explore, research, converse, audit, write.\n\n### Step 1: Explore the codebase\n\nIf code exists, read deeply before asking questions. You arrive informed.\n\n1. Map structure: directory layout, key modules, entry points\n2. Read dependency manifests: stack, libraries, what choices reveal\n3. Read README.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md if they exist\n4. Read key source files to understand what the software does today\n5. Read PROGRESS.md, TODO.md, DECISIONS.md for trajectory; use \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 for normal decision context and preserve returned \u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, \u0060caveats\u0060, and \u0060satisfaction.review_needed\u0060 pressure instead of raw-reading missing historical decision context.\n6. Read HEALTH.md for current quality\n7. Read DESIGN.md for existing visual identity\n8. **Decision profile**: read \u0060$AGENTERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 (default: \u0060$XDG_DATA_HOME/agentera/PROFILE.md\u0060) directly per protocol confidence scale (CS1-CS5) conventions. If missing, proceed without persona grounding.\n9. \u0060git log --oneline -30\u0060 for recent story\n\nSynthesize: \"The project does X, built with Y, moving toward Z. Strongest patterns: A. Gaps: B.\"\n\nGreenfield? Skip to Step 2.\n\n### Step 2: Research the domain\n\nSearch for context grounding the vision in reality:\n\n1. **What exists**: similar tools, competing approaches, adjacent projects\n2. **State of the art**: recent developments, emerging patterns\n3. **What's missing**: suite gaps this project could fill\n4. **Who talks about it**: communities, forums, common frustrations\n\n3-5 targeted searches. Synthesize: \"The gap is X. The opportunity is Y.\"\n\n### Step 3: The conversation\n\nEngage the user. Ask one question at a time through the runtime question tool\n(\u0060AskUserQuestion\u0060, always include \u0060Done\u0060 option).\n\n**Personality**: the sharp colleague, here to dream with you. Pushes past safe answers: \"That's good, but what if it was more?\"\n\nFollow a narrative arc, not a checklist. Adapt, but cover:\n\n1. **The dream**: \"Based on what I see in the codebase [and the domain research], here's where I think this wants to go: [synthesis]. But I bet you're thinking bigger than that. What does this project make possible if it wildly succeeds?\"\n\n   Push beyond utility: \"It does X faster, but why does that matter? What can they do that they couldn't before?\"\n\n2. **The people**: \"Who reaches for this? Not 'developers,' a specific person. Their Tuesday morning. The frustration that makes them think 'I need something better'?\"\n\n   Challenge abstract personas: \"'Data engineers': the one at a startup with 3 services, or the one at a bank with 3,000?\"\n\n3. **The principles**: \"What principles should guide every decision? What do you optimize for when you can't have everything? What do you actively resist?\"\n\n   If decision profile exists, propose principles from it: \"Your profile says you value X over Y. Should that be a principle here?\"\n\n4. **The direction**: \"Given all of that, where is this heading? Not features. Capabilities. What kind of tool does this become in a year? What would surprise you?\"\n\n5. **The identity**: \"If this product were a person, bold and direct, or quiet and precise? How does it talk? How should it feel to use? What emotion does a successful interaction leave?\" Also naming: \"Convention, cultural reference, philosophy?\"\n\n   If DESIGN.md exists: \"Your visual system says X. Does the verbal identity match?\"\n\n6. **The tension**: \"What's the hardest tension in this vision? Where do the principles conflict? What will you have to give up to get what matters most?\"\n\n   This question often produces the most useful material for the vision document.\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Write the vision artifact\n\nSynthesize into an aspirational north star. **Tone**: evocative, not clinical. A rallying cry, not a requirements doc. **Structure**: follow template but adapt; add dimensions that emerged, omit sections that produced nothing interesting.\n\nOutput constraint: ≤20 words per principle.\n\nPresent the draft to the user. Get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n**Exit marker**: emit \u0060⛥ vision · <status>\u0060 on its own line, followed by a one-sentence summary. For \u0060flagged\u0060 (EX2), \u0060stuck\u0060 (EX3), and \u0060waiting\u0060 (EX4), add a \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet below the summary identifying what needs resolution. The exit marker is mandatory on every invocation.\n\n---\n\n## Refine mode\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/5: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: read, research, propose, audit, update.\n\n### Step 1: Read the current state\n\n1. Read the current vision artifact\n2. Read the codebase (same depth as Create Step 1)\n3. Read PROGRESS.md for what's been built since the vision was created\n4. Use \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 for what decisions have shifted thinking; carry compacted/missing-field caveats forward rather than reconstructing absent historical context.\n5. Read HEALTH.md for what structural realities constrain the vision\n6. Read TODO.md for what recurring problems suggest the vision needs adjustment\n\n### Step 2: Research updates\n\nSearch for domain developments since the vision was written: new tools, community shifts, things the user might not have seen.\n\n### Step 3: Propose changes\n\nPresent your assessment:\n\n> Here's what's changed since the vision was written:\n>\n> - The project has built [A, B, C] (from PROGRESS.md)\n> - Decision [X] shifted thinking about [Y] (from DECISIONS.md)\n> - The domain has moved: [Z] (from research)\n>\n> I'd suggest updating:\n>\n> - [Section]: [what to change and why]\n> - [Section]: [what to change and why]\n>\n> What resonates? What's off?\n\nBrief conversation (2-4 exchanges) to refine proposed changes.\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Update the vision artifact\n\nShow the updated vision as a diff (what changed and why). Get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n- NEVER write the vision artifact without explicit user approval. Present drafts and get confirmation.\n- NEVER modify the vision artifact during a build cycle. Vision changes happen in dedicated vision sessions only.\n- NEVER produce a clinical, requirements-style document. The vision should inspire, not specify. If it reads like a PRD, rewrite it.\n- NEVER skip the codebase exploration (Step 1) when code exists. Arriving informed is the whole point.\n- NEVER propose a vision so vague it can't guide autonomous development. \"Make a great tool\" is not a vision. \"Make it possible for a solo developer to ship production-grade systems by letting an AI team handle the parts they'd otherwise skip\" is.\n- NEVER dismiss the user's ambition. If they dream big, help them articulate it. If they think small, push them bigger. But never cap their aspiration.\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060⛥ vision · <status>\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): The vision artifact was written (Create/Replace mode) or updated (Refine mode) with explicit user approval; the vision is ambitious, concrete, and structured to sustain autonomous development.\n- **flagged** (EX2): The vision was produced but with weaknesses worth surfacing: the user settled for a less ambitious or less specific vision than the capability pushed for, key sections (personas, principles, direction) are thin due to limited conversation depth, or the vision has unresolved tensions with existing DECISIONS.md entries.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot write the vision artifact because the user declined to approve the draft and no actionable revision direction was given, or codebase exploration failed in a way that would make the vision unreliable (e.g., inaccessible repo).\n- **waiting** (EX4): The user has not provided enough about the project's purpose or direction to write a meaningful vision, and the codebase (if any) does not provide sufficient signal to proceed without a conversation.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nVision is part of a twelve-capability suite. It is the strategic layer, the capability that defines where the project is going.\n\n### Vision produces what build consumes\n\nThe vision artifact is the north star that drives build's work selection every cycle. When vision is installed, build defers to it for vision creation and refinement. When vision is NOT installed, build falls back to its own quick brainstorm. Both paths produce the same \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060 shape by default; the capabilities are interchangeable at the artifact level.\n\n### Vision is informed by discuss\n\nDECISIONS.md entries provide context for vision refinement: what choices have been made and why. When vision detects that decisions have shifted thinking away from the current vision, it surfaces this during refine mode.\n\n### Vision is informed by profile\n\nThe decision profile calibrates the vision conversation: what patterns the user values, what principles they've established across projects, what they resist. High-confidence entries (CS1-CS2, 70+) become proposed principles in the vision.\n\n### Vision is informed by research\n\nWhen research analysis has shifted thinking about the project's direction, vision reads DECISIONS.md for these insights and incorporates them into vision refinement.\n\n### Vision is informed by audit\n\nHEALTH.md tells vision what structural realities constrain the vision. A project with D-grade architecture may need a vision adjustment, or the vision may confirm that the architecture needs to change.\n\n### Vision reads design output\n\nIf DESIGN.md exists, vision reads it during codebase exploration to understand the project's visual identity. The \u0060identity\u0060 section in the vision artifact should be coherent with the visual system declared in DESIGN.md. Vision reads DESIGN.md for context but never writes it; design owns all DESIGN.md writes.\n\n### Vision reads document output\n\nDOCS.md provides artifact path resolution for the canonical vision artifact. Document's documentation coverage tracking helps vision understand what documentation exists in the project.\n\n### Vision feeds plan\n\nWhen a new or refined vision changes the project's direction, plan can produce a plan to realign the codebase with the updated vision.\n\n---\n\n## Getting started\n\n### New project\n\n1. ⛥ vision: deep creation of the vision artifact through codebase exploration, domain research, and aspirational conversation\n2. ≡ plan: plan the first features (if complex)\n3. ⧉ build: start building\n\n### Existing project without a vision\n\n1. ⛥ vision: reads the codebase, understands what exists, then pushes the user to articulate where it should go\n\n### Vision refinement\n\n1. ⛥ vision: detects the existing vision artifact, offers refine mode, reads progress and decisions since last update, proposes informed changes\n\n### Without vision installed\n\nBuild's built-in quick brainstorm creates a workable vision artifact. Vision adds depth and stewardship but is not required for the suite to function.\n"`);

Visionera adapts and expands them based on the conversation.\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nBefore reading or writing any artifact, check if \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 exists. If it has an Artifact Mapping section, use the path specified for each canonical filename (VISION.md, etc.). If \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 doesn't exist or has no mapping for a given artifact, use the default layout: TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md, and DESIGN.md at the project root; canonical VISION.md at \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060; other agent-facing artifacts at \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060. This applies to all artifact references in this capability, including cross-capability reads (.agentera/decisions.yaml, .agentera/health.yaml, .agentera/progress.yaml, TODO.md).\n\n### Contract values\n\nContract values are inlined where referenced. Visual tokens from protocol: severity arrows VT5-VT8, trend arrows VT12-VT13, progress bar VT18, inline separator VT16 (·), list item VT15 (▸), section divider VT14, flow/target VT17 (→). Skill glyph SG6 for the exit marker. Exit signals EX1-EX4 for the exit marker. Confidence scale CS1-CS5 for decision profile consumption.\n\n\u0060references/contract.md\u0060 (at the v2 skill location \u0060skills/agentera/references/contract.md\u0060) remains available as a full-spec reference for ambiguous cases or cross-checking.\n\n---\n\n## vision.yaml shape\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060yaml\nproject_name: Project Name\nnorth_star: The dream.

You arrive informed.\n\n1. Map structure: directory layout, key modules, entry points\n2. Read dependency manifests: stack, libraries, what choices reveal\n3. Read README.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md if they exist\n4. Read key source files to understand what the software does today\n5. Read PROGRESS.md, TODO.md, DECISIONS.md for trajectory; use \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 for normal decision context and preserve returned \u0060missing_fields\u0060, \u0060compacted\u0060, \u0060caveats\u0060, and \u0060satisfaction.review_needed\u0060 pressure instead of raw-reading missing historical decision context.\n6. Read HEALTH.md for current quality\n7. Read DESIGN.md for existing visual identity\n8. **Decision profile**: read \u0060$PROFILERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 (default: \u0060$XDG_DATA_HOME/agentera/PROFILE.md\u0060) directly per protocol confidence scale (CS1-CS5) conventions.

Gaps: B.\"\n\nGreenfield? Skip to Step 2.\n\n### Step 2: Research the domain\n\nSearch for context grounding the vision in reality:\n\n1. **What exists**: similar tools, competing approaches, adjacent projects\n2. **State of the art**: recent developments, emerging patterns\n3. **What's missing**: suite gaps this project could fill\n4. **Who talks about it**: communities, forums, common frustrations\n\n3-5 targeted searches. Synthesize: \"The gap is X. The opportunity is Y.\"\n\n### Step 3: The conversation\n\nEngage the user. Ask one question at a time through the runtime question tool\n(\u0060AskUserQuestion\u0060, always include \u0060Done\u0060 option).\n\n**Personality**: the sharp colleague, here to dream with you. Pushes past safe answers: \"That's good, but what if it was more?\"\n\nFollow a narrative arc, not a checklist. Adapt, but cover:\n\n1. **The dream**: \"Based on what I see in the codebase [and the domain research], here's where I think this wants to go: [synthesis]. But I bet you're thinking bigger than that. What does this project make possible if it wildly succeeds?\"\n\n   Push beyond utility: \"It does X faster, but why does that matter? What can they do that they couldn't before?\"\n\n2. **The people**: \"Who reaches for this? Not 'developers,' a specific person. Their Tuesday morning. The frustration that makes them think 'I need something better'?\"\n\n   Challenge abstract personas: \"'Data engineers': the one at a startup with 3 services, or the one at a bank with 3,000?\"\n\n3. **The principles**: \"What principles should guide every decision? What do you optimize for when you can't have everything? What do you actively resist?\"\n\n   If decision profile exists, propose principles from it: \"Your profile says you value X over Y. Should that be a principle here?\"\n\n4. **The direction**: \"Given all of that, where is this heading? Not features. Capabilities. What kind of tool does this become in a year? What would surprise you?\"\n\n5. **The identity**: \"If this product were a person, bold and direct, or quiet and precise? How does it talk? How should it feel to use? What emotion does a successful interaction leave?\" Also naming: \"Convention, cultural reference, philosophy?\"\n\n   If DESIGN.md exists: \"Your visual system says X. Does the verbal identity match?\"\n\n6. **The tension**: \"What's the hardest tension in this vision? Where do the principles conflict? What will you have to give up to get what matters most?\"\n\n   This question often produces the most useful material for the vision document.\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Write the vision artifact\n\nSynthesize into an aspirational north star. **Tone**: evocative, not clinical. A rallying cry, not a requirements doc. **Structure**: follow template but adapt; add dimensions that emerged, omit sections that produced nothing interesting.\n\nOutput constraint: ≤20 words per principle.\n\nPresent the draft to the user. Get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n**Exit marker**: emit \u0060⛥ visionera · <status>\u0060 on its own line, followed by a one-sentence summary. For \u0060flagged\u0060 (EX2), \u0060stuck\u0060 (EX3), and \u0060waiting\u0060 (EX4), add a \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet below the summary identifying what needs resolution. The exit marker is mandatory on every invocation.\n\n---\n\n## Refine mode\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/5: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: read, research, propose, audit, update.\n\n### Step 1: Read the current state\n\n1. Read the current vision artifact\n2. Read the codebase (same depth as Create Step 1)\n3. Read PROGRESS.md for what's been built since the vision was created\n4. Use \u0060agentera decisions --format json\u0060 for what decisions have shifted thinking; carry compacted/missing-field caveats forward rather than reconstructing absent historical context.\n5. Read HEALTH.md for what structural realities constrain the vision\n6. Read TODO.md for what recurring problems suggest the vision needs adjustment\n\n### Step 2: Research updates\n\nSearch for domain developments since the vision was written: new tools, community shifts, things the user might not have seen.\n\n### Step 3: Propose changes\n\nPresent your assessment:\n\n> Here's what's changed since the vision was written:\n>\n> - The project has built [A, B, C] (from PROGRESS.md)\n> - Decision [X] shifted thinking about [Y] (from DECISIONS.md)\n> - The domain has moved: [Z] (from research)\n>\n> I'd suggest updating:\n>\n> - [Section]: [what to change and why]\n> - [Section]: [what to change and why]\n>\n> What resonates? What's off?\n\nBrief conversation (2-4 exchanges) to refine proposed changes.\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Update the vision artifact\n\nShow the updated vision as a diff (what changed and why). Get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n- NEVER write the vision artifact without explicit user approval. Present drafts and get confirmation.\n- NEVER modify the vision artifact during a realisera cycle. Vision changes happen in dedicated visionera sessions only.\n- NEVER produce a clinical, requirements-style document. The vision should inspire, not specify. If it reads like a PRD, rewrite it.\n- NEVER skip the codebase exploration (Step 1) when code exists. Arriving informed is the whole point.\n- NEVER propose a vision so vague it can't guide autonomous development. \"Make a great tool\" is not a vision. \"Make it possible for a solo developer to ship production-grade systems by letting an AI team handle the parts they'd otherwise skip\" is.\n- NEVER dismiss the user's ambition. If they dream big, help them articulate it. If they think small, push them bigger. But never cap their aspiration.\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060⛥ visionera · <status>\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): The vision artifact was written (Create/Replace mode) or updated (Refine mode) with explicit user approval; the vision is ambitious, concrete, and structured to sustain autonomous development.\n- **flagged** (EX2): The vision was produced but with weaknesses worth surfacing: the user settled for a less ambitious or less specific vision than the capability pushed for, key sections (personas, principles, direction) are thin due to limited conversation depth, or the vision has unresolved tensions with existing DECISIONS.md entries.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot write the vision artifact because the user declined to approve the draft and no actionable revision direction was given, or codebase exploration failed in a way that would make the vision unreliable (e.g., inaccessible repo).\n- **waiting** (EX4): The user has not provided enough about the project's purpose or direction to write a meaningful vision, and the codebase (if any) does not provide sufficient signal to proceed without a conversation.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nVisionera is part of a twelve-capability suite. It is the strategic layer, the capability that defines where the project is going.\n\n### Visionera produces what realisera consumes\n\nThe vision artifact is the north star that drives realisera's work selection every cycle. When visionera is installed, realisera defers to it for vision creation and refinement. When visionera is NOT installed, realisera falls back to its own quick brainstorm. Both paths produce the same \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060 shape by default; the capabilities are interchangeable at the artifact level.\n\n### Visionera is informed by resonera\n\nDECISIONS.md entries provide context for vision refinement: what choices have been made and why. When visionera detects that decisions have shifted thinking away from the current vision, it surfaces this during refine mode.\n\n### Visionera is informed by profilera\n\nThe decision profile calibrates the vision conversation: what patterns the user values, what principles they've established across projects, what they resist. High-confidence entries (CS1-CS2, 70+) become proposed principles in the vision.\n\n### Visionera is informed by inspirera\n\nWhen inspirera analysis has shifted thinking about the project's direction, visionera reads DECISIONS.md for these insights and incorporates them into vision refinement.\n\n### Visionera is informed by inspektera\n\nHEALTH.md tells visionera what structural realities constrain the vision. A project with D-grade architecture may need a vision adjustment, or the vision may confirm that the architecture needs to change.\n\n### Visionera reads visualisera output\n\nIf DESIGN.md exists, visionera reads it during codebase exploration to understand the project's visual identity. The \u0060identity\u0060 section in the vision artifact should be coherent with the visual system declared in DESIGN.md. Visionera reads DESIGN.md for context but never writes it; visualisera owns all DESIGN.md writes.\n\n### Visionera reads dokumentera output\n\nDOCS.md provides artifact path resolution for the canonical vision artifact. Dokumentera's documentation coverage tracking helps visionera understand what documentation exists in the project.\n\n### Visionera feeds planera\n\nWhen a new or refined vision changes the project's direction, planera can produce a plan to realign the codebase with the updated vision.\n\n---\n\n## Getting started\n\n### New project\n\n1. ⛥ visionera: deep creation of the vision artifact through codebase exploration, domain research, and aspirational conversation\n2. ≡ planera: plan the first features (if complex)\n3. ⧉ realisera: start building\n\n### Existing project without a vision\n\n1. ⛥ visionera: reads the codebase, understands what exists, then pushes the user to articulate where it should go\n\n### Vision refinement\n\n1. ⛥ visionera: detects the existing vision artifact, offers refine mode, reads progress and decisions since last update, proposes informed changes\n\n### Without visionera installed\n\nRealisera's built-in quick brainstorm creates a workable vision artifact. Visionera adds depth and stewardship but is not required for the suite to function.\n"`);

What's off?\n\nBrief conversation (2-4 exchanges) to refine proposed changes.\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Update the vision artifact\n\nShow the updated vision as a diff (what changed and why). Get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n- NEVER write the vision artifact without explicit user approval. Present drafts and get confirmation.\n- NEVER modify the vision artifact during a realisera cycle. Vision changes happen in dedicated visionera sessions only.\n- NEVER produce a clinical, requirements-style document. The vision should inspire, not specify. If it reads like a PRD, rewrite it.\n- NEVER skip the codebase exploration (Step 1) when code exists. Arriving informed is the whole point.\n- NEVER propose a vision so vague it can't guide autonomous development. \"Make a great tool\" is not a vision. \"Make it possible for a solo developer to ship production-grade systems by letting an AI team handle the parts they'd otherwise skip\" is.\n- NEVER dismiss the user's ambition. If they dream big, help them articulate it. If they think small, push them bigger. But never cap their aspiration.\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060⛥ visionera · <status>\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): The vision artifact was written (Create/Replace mode) or updated (Refine mode) with explicit user approval; the vision is ambitious, concrete, and structured to sustain autonomous development.\n- **flagged** (EX2): The vision was produced but with weaknesses worth surfacing: the user settled for a less ambitious or less specific vision than the capability pushed for, key sections (personas, principles, direction) are thin due to limited conversation depth, or the vision has unresolved tensions with existing DECISIONS.md entries.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot write the vision artifact because the user declined to approve the draft and no actionable revision direction was given, or codebase exploration failed in a way that would make the vision unreliable (e.g., inaccessible repo).\n- **waiting** (EX4): The user has not provided enough about the project's purpose or direction to write a meaningful vision, and the codebase (if any) does not provide sufficient signal to proceed without a conversation.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nVisionera is part of a twelve-capability suite. It is the strategic layer, the capability that defines where the project is going.\n\n### Visionera produces what realisera consumes\n\nThe vision artifact is the north star that drives realisera's work selection every cycle. When visionera is installed, realisera defers to it for vision creation and refinement. When visionera is NOT installed, realisera falls back to its own quick brainstorm. Both paths produce the same \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060 shape by default; the capabilities are interchangeable at the artifact level.\n\n### Visionera is informed by resonera\n\nDECISIONS.md entries provide context for vision refinement: what choices have been made and why. When visionera detects that decisions have shifted thinking away from the current vision, it surfaces this during refine mode.\n\n### Visionera is informed by profilera\n\nThe decision profile calibrates the vision conversation: what patterns the user values, what principles they've established across projects, what they resist. High-confidence entries (CS1-CS2, 70+) become proposed principles in the vision.\n\n### Visionera is informed by inspirera\n\nWhen inspirera analysis has shifted thinking about the project's direction, visionera reads DECISIONS.md for these insights and incorporates them into vision refinement.\n\n### Visionera is informed by inspektera\n\nHEALTH.md tells visionera what structural realities constrain the vision. A project with D-grade architecture may need a vision adjustment, or the vision may confirm that the architecture needs to change.\n\n### Visionera reads visualisera output\n\nIf DESIGN.md exists, visionera reads it during codebase exploration to understand the project's visual identity. The \u0060identity\u0060 section in the vision artifact should be coherent with the visual system declared in DESIGN.md. Visionera reads DESIGN.md for context but never writes it; visualisera owns all DESIGN.md writes.\n\n### Visionera reads dokumentera output\n\nDOCS.md provides artifact path resolution for the canonical vision artifact. Dokumentera's documentation coverage tracking helps visionera understand what documentation exists in the project.\n\n### Visionera feeds planera\n\nWhen a new or refined vision changes the project's direction, planera can produce a plan to realign the codebase with the updated vision.\n\n---\n\n## Getting started\n\n### New project\n\n1. ⛥ visionera: deep creation of the vision artifact through codebase exploration, domain research, and aspirational conversation\n2. ≡ planera: plan the first features (if complex)\n3. ⧉ realisera: start building\n\n### Existing project without a vision\n\n1. ⛥ visionera: reads the codebase, understands what exists, then pushes the user to articulate where it should go\n\n### Vision refinement\n\n1. ⛥ visionera: detects the existing vision artifact, offers refine mode, reads progress and decisions since last update, proposes informed changes\n\n### Without visionera installed\n\nRealisera's built-in quick brainstorm creates a workable vision artifact. Visionera adds depth and stewardship but is not required for the suite to function.\n"`);

Deep creation through codebase exploration, domain research, and Socratic challenge about aesthetics. Opinionated enough to enforce consistency, flexible enough to evolve, concrete enough for any agent to generate correct UI.\n\nThree modes: **create**, **refine**, **audit**.\n\n---\n\n## Visual identity\n\nGlyph: **◰** (protocol ref: SG11). Used in the mandatory exit marker.\n\n---\n\n## State artifacts\n\nOne file in \u0060.agentera/\u0060.\n\n| Artifact | Purpose | Bootstrap |\n|----------|---------|-----------|\n| \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 | Visual identity. Colors, typography, spacing, constraints, components, themes. An agent-readable design system. | Created via deep design conversation. |\n\nUse this prose plus \u0060agentera describe --format json\u0060 and its \u0060artifact_schemas\u0060 entry for \u0060design\u0060 as the active design artifact specification; do not search Agentera directories manually. The design schema covers \u0060<!-- design:X -->\u0060 marker syntax, standard sections, YAML token block format, and naming conventions.\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nBefore reading or writing any artifact, check if \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 exists. If it has an Artifact Mapping section, use the path specified for each canonical filename (.agentera/design.yaml, etc.). If \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 doesn't exist or has no mapping for a given artifact, use the default layout: TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md, and DESIGN.md at the project root; canonical VISION.md at \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060; other agent-facing artifacts at \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060. This applies to all artifact references in this capability, including cross-capability reads (VISION.md, .agentera/decisions.yaml, PROFILE.md).\n\n### Contract values\n\nContract values are inlined where referenced. Visual tokens from protocol: severity arrows VT5-VT8, trend arrows VT12-VT13, progress bar VT18, inline separator VT16 (·), list item VT15 (▸), section divider VT14, flow/target VT17 (→). Skill glyph SG11 for the exit marker. Exit signals EX1-EX4 for the exit marker.

Evolve it, audit it, or start fresh?\" · \"Found your visual identity. Refine, check for mismatches, or clean slate?\"\n\nOffer:\n\n> **Refine**: Evolve the existing design system based on what you've learned. Reads the current DESIGN.md, the codebase state, and recent progress to propose informed updates.\n>\n> **Audit**: Check the current design system for consistency, completeness, and mismatches with the codebase.\n>\n> **Replace**: Start fresh with a deep design conversation. Archives the current DESIGN.md and creates a new one from scratch.\n\nIf **Refine**, skip to Refine mode.\nIf **Audit**, skip to Audit mode.\nIf **Replace**, archive current DESIGN.md to \u0060.agentera/archive/design-{date}.yaml\u0060, then proceed to Create mode.\n\n---\n\n## Create mode\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/7: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: explore, research, converse, audit, write, validate, next.\n\n### Step 1: Explore the codebase\n\nIf code exists, read deeply before asking questions. Arriving informed distinguishes visualisera from a blank-slate design interview.\n\n1. **Map the structure**: directory layout, UI components, pages\n2. **VISION.md Identity section**: declared personality, voice, emotional register. The visual system must cohere with this.\n3. **Existing theme/style files**: CSS properties, Tailwind config, color declarations, font imports, component libraries\n4. **Dependency manifests**: UI framework, component library, CSS approach (determines token format)\n5. **Parent DESIGN.md**: for monorepos, the inherited design system (nested overrides)\n6. **CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md**: existing design instructions\n7. **Decision profile**: read \u0060$PROFILERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 (default: \u0060$XDG_DATA_HOME/agentera/PROFILE.md\u0060) directly per protocol confidence scale (CS1-CS5) conventions. Aesthetic preferences inform the design conversation. If missing, proceed without persona grounding.\n8. \u0060git log --oneline -20\u0060: recent visual story\n\nSynthesize: \"The project uses X with Y. Palette is Z. Typography is A. Strongest patterns: B. Inconsistencies: C.\" If VISION.md Identity exists, connect it to the visual system.\n\nGreenfield? Skip to Step 2.\n\n### Step 2: Research the domain\n\nSearch for design context that grounds the identity in what works:\n\n1. **Stack design systems**: Tailwind themes, shadcn/ui, Radix, Material Design. Defaults and customization points.\n2. **Similar projects**: competing tools, adjacent products, established patterns\n3. **State of the art**: recent trends, emerging patterns in similar domains\n4. **Stack constraints**: framework limitations, component library opinions\n\n3-5 targeted searches. Read promising results deeply. Synthesize: \"Common approach is X. Opportunity to differentiate is Y.\"\n\n### Step 3: The conversation\n\nEngage the user. Ask one question at a time through the runtime question tool\n(\u0060AskUserQuestion\u0060, always include \u0060Done\u0060 option).\n\n**Personality**: the sharp colleague, here to design, not collect requirements. Exacting about details: \"That's good, but what if the palette was braver?\"\n\nFollow a narrative arc, not a checklist. Adapt, but cover:\n\n1. **The philosophy**: \"Based on what I see in the codebase [and the VISION.md Identity], here's the visual impression I'd expect: [synthesis]. What should this project FEEL like visually? If someone sees the UI for 3 seconds, what impression should they have? Brutalist? Playful? Clinical? Luxurious?\"\n\n   If VISION.md Identity exists, propose defaults: \"Your identity says 'bold and direct.' That suggests sharp edges, high contrast, no decorative shadows. Does that resonate?\"\n\n   Push beyond generic: \"'Clean and modern' is too vague. Apple-clean with whitespace, or Stripe-clean with dense information hierarchy? Very different.\"\n\n2. **The color strategy**: \"What's the color philosophy? Monochrome with a single punctuation color? Rich and saturated? Muted and professional? What color means 'this is us'?\"\n\n   Be specific: \"Two-color with single accent, or multi-color with semantic meaning? What carries the brand: background or foreground?\"\n\n   Reference existing code colors: \"\u0060#2563eb\u0060 as primary: intentional or inherited?\"\n\n3. **The typography**: \"How should text feel? Monospace for that developer-tool edge? Clean sans-serif for clarity? What's the hierarchy: how do you distinguish a label from a heading from body text?\"\n\n   Push: \"System fonts or custom? Geometric (Inter), humanist (Source Sans), industrial (JetBrains Mono)?\"\n\n4. **The constraints**: \"What should NEVER happen in this UI? Shadows? Rounded corners? Gradients? Arbitrary values? What are the bright lines?\"\n\n   Maps to \u0060<!-- design:constraints -->\u0060. \"Every constraint prevents a class of visual mismatch.\"\n\n5. **The components**: \"What are the core UI building blocks? Buttons, cards, inputs. What variants does each need? What's the interaction pattern?\"\n\n   Maps to \u0060<!-- design:components -->\u0060. Focus on contracts: \"What props, variants, refusals? This becomes the contract agents build against.\"\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Write DESIGN.md\n\nSynthesize the conversation into a structured design system document.\n\n**Tone**: prose sections opinionated and evocative (why tokens exist, how they relate); YAML blocks precise and machine-parseable.\n\n**Structure**: follow the spec. Every section gets prose + YAML. At minimum:\n\n- **Philosophy**: prose only, the aesthetic rationale\n- **Colors**: \u0060<!-- design:colors -->\u0060 with OKLCH/HSL values and semantic aliases\n- **Typography**: \u0060<!-- design:typography -->\u0060 with composite token definitions\n- **Spacing**: \u0060<!-- design:spacing -->\u0060 with a consistent scale (8pt grid recommended)\n- **Constraints**: \u0060<!-- design:constraints -->\u0060 with aesthetic and structural rules\n- **Components**: \u0060<!-- design:components -->\u0060 with variant contracts (if the project has UI)\n\nAdd \u0060theme\u0060, \u0060radius\u0060, \u0060shadows\u0060, \u0060font-sizes\u0060, \u0060fonts\u0060 as warranted.\n\nUse established scales: OKLCH for colors, 8pt grid for spacing, modular scale for type. No arbitrary values. Present draft, get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n### Step 6: Validate\n\nValidate the written file against the \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 structure described in this capability. Agentera v2 does not ship a standalone design validator; fix malformed sections, missing token fields, or unresolved references before presenting.\n\n### Step 7: Next steps\n\n▸ **Set up enforcement**: propose project-local checks for tokens, component usage, and visual mismatches; no separate Agentera enforcement reference ships in v2\n▸ **Build to the spec**: use ⧉ realisera to implement UI that respects the design tokens\n▸ **Document it**: use ▤ dokumentera to add the design system to project documentation\n▸ **Refine later**: use ◰ visualisera again to evolve the design as the project matures\n\n---\n\n## Refine mode\n\nEvolve an existing design system based on what's changed.\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/4: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: read, propose, audit, update.\n\n### Step 1: Read current state\n\n1. Current DESIGN.md: all token blocks, constraints, prose\n2. Codebase: focused on changes since DESIGN.md was written (git log, new components)\n3. VISION.md Identity: has verbal identity evolved?\n4. PROGRESS.md: UI work and inline design decisions\n5. TODO.md: design-related issues\n\n### Step 2: Propose changes\n\n> Here's what's changed since the design system was written:\n>\n> - New components [A, B] were built that aren't in the component contracts\n> - The color palette is out of sync: [file:line] uses [value] not in the token set\n> - VISION.md Identity now says [X], and the visual system [does/doesn't] reflect that\n>\n> I'd suggest updating:\n>\n> - [Section]: [what to change and why]\n\nBrief conversation (2-4 exchanges) to refine proposed changes.\n\n### Step 3: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" · \"Cutting the filler first...\" · \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 4: Update DESIGN.md\n\nShow diff with rationale. Get approval. Run validation after writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## Audit mode\n\nTwo-phase check: deterministic validation (script), then agent-driven code analysis.\n\nStep markers: display \u0060── step N/3: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: validate, check, report.\n\n### Step 1: Validate structure\n\nInspect \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 and report structural issues: malformed YAML blocks, missing sections, unresolved references, or token entries without category/name/value.\n\n### Step 2: Check adherence\n\nScan codebase for design mismatches:\n\n1. **Token usage**: undeclared colors, fonts, or spacing values in code\n2. **Constraint violations**: prohibited properties in use (e.g., shadows when banned)\n3. **Component mismatch**: undeclared variants or prohibited props\n4. **Consistency**: ad-hoc styling on similar elements\n\n### Step 3: Report\n\nCategorize findings by severity (protocol refs: SF1-SF3 for finding severity):\n\n- ⇶ **Critical** (VT5): tokens in code that don't exist in DESIGN.md (uncontrolled styling)\n- ⇉ **Warning** (VT6): declared tokens not used anywhere (dead tokens), mild inconsistencies\n- ⇢ **Info** (VT8): suggestions for new tokens or constraints based on observed patterns\n\nPresent with file:line references. For each finding, offer to:\n▸ **Fix DESIGN.md**: add missing tokens or constraints\n▸ **File to TODO.md**: if the code is wrong (design is right, code is out of sync)\n▸ **Skip**: intentional or not worth fixing\n\nFor framework-specific enforcement beyond audits, derive checks from the project's stack and record them directly in DESIGN.md or TODO.md.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n- NEVER modify DESIGN.md without explicit user approval. Present drafts and get confirmation.\n- NEVER write design tokens that conflict with VISION.md Identity. If the verbal identity says \"warm and approachable\" and the user wants a cold, brutalist palette, surface the tension explicitly and let the user resolve it.\n- NEVER impose aesthetic preferences. The user's taste drives the design. Have opinions, push for specificity, but defer to the user's choices.\n- NEVER skip the validation step after writing DESIGN.md. Inspect the structure and fix any errors before presenting the result.\n- NEVER create arbitrary token values. Use established scales (8pt grid for spacing, modular type scale for font sizes, OKLCH for perceptual color uniformity). The design system must practice what it preaches.\n- NEVER modify code files. Visualisera writes DESIGN.md; realisera implements it. The separation of declaration and implementation is fundamental.\n- NEVER skip the codebase exploration (Step 1) when code exists. Arriving informed is what makes the conversation productive rather than generic.\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060◰ visualisera · <status>\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060▸\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): DESIGN.md was written (Create/Replace mode), updated (Refine mode), or audited with findings reported (Audit mode). Validation script ran without errors, and all changes had explicit user approval before writing.\n- **flagged** (EX2): The design system was produced or audited but with issues worth surfacing. Possible causes: validation passed but with advisory warnings, the design mismatches VISION.md Identity in ways the user acknowledged, or audit findings were discovered that were neither fixed nor filed to TODO.md.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot write DESIGN.md because the user declined to approve the draft, the validation script reports errors that cannot be resolved without user input on the design intent, or the project's UI stack is inaccessible and token defaults cannot be reliably inferred.\n- **waiting** (EX4): The visual identity direction is entirely undefined and the user has not engaged with the design conversation, or the project has no UI layer and DESIGN.md would serve no purpose without clarification of what is being designed.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nVisualisera is part of a twelve-capability suite. It is the visual identity layer, the capability that defines how the project looks.\n\n### Visualisera reads visionera output\n\nVISION.md's Identity section declares the verbal personality (bold, warm, playful, etc.). Visualisera reads this to propose visual tokens coherent with the declared identity. If Identity says \"industrial and direct,\" visualisera proposes sharp edges and monospace type. Visionera reads DESIGN.md in return; neither writes the other's artifact.\n\n### Visualisera feeds realisera\n\nDESIGN.md's tokens and constraints guide autonomous UI development. When realisera builds components or pages, it reads DESIGN.md to understand what colors, typography, spacing, and constraints to use. The design system prevents visual mismatches across cycles.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by dokumentera\n\nDOCS.md tracks DESIGN.md in the artifact mapping. Dokumentera may document the design system as part of project documentation.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by inspektera\n\nWhen inspektera audits architecture alignment or pattern consistency, design system adherence is a relevant dimension. Future integration may include design-specific audit dimensions.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by profilera\n\nThe decision profile captures aesthetic preferences, specifically the user's established patterns around visual design, typography choices, and UI conventions. Visualisera reads these as defaults during the create conversation.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by inspirera\n\nWhen inspirera analyzes external design systems or visual patterns, the findings can feed into visualisera's research step or refine mode. External design references enrich the conversation.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by resonera\n\nWhen design decisions require deliberation, suggest ❈ resonera before committing.

Used in the mandatory exit marker.\n\n---\n\n## State artifacts\n\nOne file in \u0060.agentera/\u0060.\n\n| Artifact | Purpose | Bootstrap |\n|----------|---------|-----------|\n| \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 | Visual identity. Colors, typography, spacing, constraints, components, themes. An agent-readable design system. | Created via deep design conversation. |\n\nUse this prose plus \u0060agentera describe --format json\u0060 and its \u0060artifact_schemas\u0060 entry for \u0060design\u0060 as the active design artifact specification; do not search Agentera directories manually. The design schema covers \u0060<!-- design:X -->\u0060 marker syntax, standard sections, YAML token block format, and naming conventions.\n\n### Artifact path resolution\n\nBefore reading or writing any artifact, check if \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 exists. If it has an Artifact Mapping section, use the path specified for each canonical filename (.agentera/design.yaml, etc.). If \u0060.agentera/docs.yaml\u0060 doesn't exist or has no mapping for a given artifact, use the default layout: TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md, and DESIGN.md at the project root; canonical VISION.md at \u0060.agentera/vision.yaml\u0060; other agent-facing artifacts at \u0060.agentera/*.yaml\u0060. This applies to all artifact references in this capability, including cross-capability reads (VISION.md, .agentera/decisions.yaml, PROFILE.md).\n\n### Contract values\n\nContract values are inlined where referenced. Visual tokens from protocol: severity arrows VT5-VT8, trend arrows VT12-VT13, progress bar VT18, inline separator VT16 (\u00b7), list item VT15 (\u25b8), section divider VT14, flow/target VT17 (\u2192). Skill glyph SG11 for the exit marker. Exit signals EX1-EX4 for the exit marker. Confidence scale CS1-CS5 for decision profile consumption.\n\n\u0060references/contract.md\u0060 (at the v2 skill location \u0060skills/agentera/references/contract.md\u0060) remains available as a full-spec reference for ambiguous cases or cross-checking.\n\n---\n\n## DESIGN.md format (condensed)\n\nStandard Markdown with structured YAML blocks inside fenced code regions, delineated by HTML comment markers for machine parseability.\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060markdown\n# [Project Name] Design System\n\n## Philosophy\n[Human prose: design principles, aesthetic rationale, visual personality]\n\n## Colors\n<!-- design:colors -->\n\u0060\u0060\u0060yaml\nbrand-primary: oklch(50% 0.25 25)\nbrand-secondary: oklch(60% 0.15 250)\nbackground: oklch(100% 0 0)\nforeground: oklch(0% 0 0)\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n## Typography\n<!-- design:typography -->\n\u0060\u0060\u0060yaml\ntext-heading:\n  font-family: \"Inter\", sans-serif\n  font-weight: 700\ntext-body:\n  font-family: \"Inter\", sans-serif\n  font-weight: 400\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n## Constraints\n<!-- design:constraints -->\n\u0060\u0060\u0060yaml\naesthetic:\n  - property: box-shadow\n    rule: prohibited\n    reason: \"Depth via borders and contrast, not shadows\"\nstructural:\n  - pattern: arbitrary-values\n    rule: prohibited\n    scope: [colors, spacing]\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nStandard sections: \u0060colors\u0060, \u0060font-sizes\u0060, \u0060fonts\u0060, \u0060typography\u0060, \u0060spacing\u0060, \u0060radius\u0060, \u0060shadows\u0060, \u0060theme\u0060, \u0060constraints\u0060, \u0060components\u0060, \u0060tw-merge-preserve\u0060.

Run \u0060agentera prime --context visualisera --format json\u0060. Use included state families first; run listed \u0060fallback_commands\u0060 before raw artifact reads.\n2. Read the host project's \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 via docs mapping or \u0060agentera state query design\u0060. It is the **project design authority** for this repository's own product (UI, CLI, or docs). Do not read, copy, or merge suite design sources into it. Suite chrome uses \u0060protocol.yaml\u0060, \u0060agentera prime --context\u0060 capability prose (D65), and v2 app-home \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 when present \u2014 not the host project's design artifact.\n\n**If DESIGN.md does NOT exist**: Proceed to **Create** mode (Step 1).\n\n**If DESIGN.md exists**: Present the mode choice.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Design system's already in place. Evolve it, audit it, or start fresh?\" \u00b7 \"Found your visual identity. Refine, check for mismatches, or clean slate?\"\n\nOffer:\n\n> **Refine**: Evolve the existing design system based on what you've learned. Reads the current DESIGN.md, the codebase state, and recent progress to propose informed updates.\n>\n> **Audit**: Check the current design system for consistency, completeness, and mismatches with the codebase.\n>\n> **Replace**: Start fresh with a deep design conversation. Archives the current DESIGN.md and creates a new one from scratch.\n\nIf **Refine**, skip to Refine mode.\nIf **Audit**, skip to Audit mode.\nIf **Replace**, archive current DESIGN.md to \u0060.agentera/archive/design-{date}.yaml\u0060, then proceed to Create mode.\n\n---\n\n## Create mode\n\nStep markers: display \u0060\u2500\u2500 step N/7: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: explore, research, converse, audit, write, validate, next.\n\n### Step 1: Explore the codebase\n\nIf code exists, read deeply before asking questions. Arriving informed distinguishes visualisera from a blank-slate design interview.\n\n1. **Map the structure**: directory layout, UI components, pages\n2. **VISION.md Identity section**: declared personality, voice, emotional register. The visual system must cohere with this.\n3. **Existing theme/style files**: CSS properties, Tailwind config, color declarations, font imports, component libraries\n4. **Dependency manifests**: UI framework, component library, CSS approach (determines token format)\n5. **Parent DESIGN.md**: for monorepos, the inherited design system (nested overrides)\n6. **CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md**: existing design instructions\n7. **Decision profile**: read \u0060$PROFILERA_PROFILE_DIR/PROFILE.md\u0060 (default: \u0060$XDG_DATA_HOME/agentera/PROFILE.md\u0060) directly per protocol confidence scale (CS1-CS5) conventions. Aesthetic preferences inform the design conversation. If missing, proceed without persona grounding.\n8. \u0060git log --oneline -20\u0060: recent visual story\n\nSynthesize: \"The project uses X with Y. Palette is Z. Typography is A. Strongest patterns: B. Inconsistencies: C.\" If VISION.md Identity exists, connect it to the visual system.\n\nGreenfield? Skip to Step 2.\n\n### Step 2: Research the domain\n\nSearch for design context that grounds the identity in what works:\n\n1. **Stack design systems**: Tailwind themes, shadcn/ui, Radix, Material Design. Defaults and customization points.\n2. **Similar projects**: competing tools, adjacent products, established patterns\n3. **State of the art**: recent trends, emerging patterns in similar domains\n4. **Stack constraints**: framework limitations, component library opinions\n\n3-5 targeted searches. Read promising results deeply. Synthesize: \"Common approach is X. Opportunity to differentiate is Y.\"\n\n### Step 3: The conversation\n\nEngage the user. Ask one question at a time through the runtime question tool\n(\u0060AskUserQuestion\u0060, always include \u0060Done\u0060 option).\n\n**Personality**: the sharp colleague, here to design, not collect requirements. Exacting about details: \"That's good, but what if the palette was braver?\"\n\nFollow a narrative arc, not a checklist. Adapt, but cover:\n\n1. **The philosophy**: \"Based on what I see in the codebase [and the VISION.md Identity], here's the visual impression I'd expect: [synthesis]. What should this project FEEL like visually? If someone sees the UI for 3 seconds, what impression should they have? Brutalist? Playful? Clinical? Luxurious?\"\n\n   If VISION.md Identity exists, propose defaults: \"Your identity says 'bold and direct.' That suggests sharp edges, high contrast, no decorative shadows. Does that resonate?\"\n\n   Push beyond generic: \"'Clean and modern' is too vague. Apple-clean with whitespace, or Stripe-clean with dense information hierarchy? Very different.\"\n\n2. **The color strategy**: \"What's the color philosophy? Monochrome with a single punctuation color? Rich and saturated? Muted and professional? What color means 'this is us'?\"\n\n   Be specific: \"Two-color with single accent, or multi-color with semantic meaning? What carries the brand: background or foreground?\"\n\n   Reference existing code colors: \"\u0060#2563eb\u0060 as primary: intentional or inherited?\"\n\n3. **The typography**: \"How should text feel? Monospace for that developer-tool edge? Clean sans-serif for clarity? What's the hierarchy: how do you distinguish a label from a heading from body text?\"\n\n   Push: \"System fonts or custom? Geometric (Inter), humanist (Source Sans), industrial (JetBrains Mono)?\"\n\n4. **The constraints**: \"What should NEVER happen in this UI? Shadows? Rounded corners? Gradients? Arbitrary values? What are the bright lines?\"\n\n   Maps to \u0060<!-- design:constraints -->\u0060. \"Every constraint prevents a class of visual mismatch.\"\n\n5. **The components**: \"What are the core UI building blocks? Buttons, cards, inputs. What variants does each need? What's the interaction pattern?\"\n\n   Maps to \u0060<!-- design:components -->\u0060. Focus on contracts: \"What props, variants, refusals? This becomes the contract agents build against.\"\n\n### Step 4: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" \u00b7 \"Cutting the filler first...\" \u00b7 \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 5: Write DESIGN.md\n\nSynthesize the conversation into a structured design system document.\n\n**Tone**: prose sections opinionated and evocative (why tokens exist, how they relate); YAML blocks precise and machine-parseable.\n\n**Structure**: follow the spec. Every section gets prose + YAML. At minimum:\n\n- **Philosophy**: prose only, the aesthetic rationale\n- **Colors**: \u0060<!-- design:colors -->\u0060 with OKLCH/HSL values and semantic aliases\n- **Typography**: \u0060<!-- design:typography -->\u0060 with composite token definitions\n- **Spacing**: \u0060<!-- design:spacing -->\u0060 with a consistent scale (8pt grid recommended)\n- **Constraints**: \u0060<!-- design:constraints -->\u0060 with aesthetic and structural rules\n- **Components**: \u0060<!-- design:components -->\u0060 with variant contracts (if the project has UI)\n\nAdd \u0060theme\u0060, \u0060radius\u0060, \u0060shadows\u0060, \u0060font-sizes\u0060, \u0060fonts\u0060 as warranted.\n\nUse established scales: OKLCH for colors, 8pt grid for spacing, modular scale for type. No arbitrary values. Present draft, get explicit approval before writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n### Step 6: Validate\n\nValidate the written file against the \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 structure described in this capability. Agentera v2 does not ship a standalone design validator; fix malformed sections, missing token fields, or unresolved references before presenting.\n\n### Step 7: Next steps\n\n\u25b8 **Set up enforcement**: propose project-local checks for tokens, component usage, and visual mismatches; no separate Agentera enforcement reference ships in v2\n\u25b8 **Build to the spec**: use \u29c9 realisera to implement UI that respects the design tokens\n\u25b8 **Document it**: use \u25a4 dokumentera to add the design system to project documentation\n\u25b8 **Refine later**: use \u25f0 visualisera again to evolve the design as the project matures\n\n---\n\n## Refine mode\n\nEvolve an existing design system based on what's changed.\n\nStep markers: display \u0060\u2500\u2500 step N/4: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: read, propose, audit, update.\n\n### Step 1: Read current state\n\n1. Current DESIGN.md: all token blocks, constraints, prose\n2. Codebase: focused on changes since DESIGN.md was written (git log, new components)\n3. VISION.md Identity: has verbal identity evolved?\n4. PROGRESS.md: UI work and inline design decisions\n5. TODO.md: design-related issues\n\n### Step 2: Propose changes\n\n> Here's what's changed since the design system was written:\n>\n> - New components [A, B] were built that aren't in the component contracts\n> - The color palette is out of sync: [file:line] uses [value] not in the token set\n> - VISION.md Identity now says [X], and the visual system [does/doesn't] reflect that\n>\n> I'd suggest updating:\n>\n> - [Section]: [what to change and why]\n\nBrief conversation (2-4 exchanges) to refine proposed changes.\n\n### Step 3: Pre-write self-audit\n\nPre-write self-audit: run \u0060agentera lint --artifact <ARTIFACT> --text \"<DRAFT>\"\u0060 (or \u0060--file <PATH>\u0060; schema names such as \u0060decisions\u0060 auto-resolve the artifact file when no input is given) on the draft entry to check verbosity overruns (per-artifact budget), abstraction creep (>=1 concrete anchor), and filler accumulation (banned patterns).\nMax 3 revision attempts. Flag with [post-audit-flagged] if still failing.\n\nNarration voice (riff, don't script):\n\n- \"Tightening this up...\" \u00b7 \"Cutting the filler first...\" \u00b7 \"One more pass...\"\n\n### Step 4: Update DESIGN.md\n\nShow diff with rationale. Get approval. Run validation after writing.\n\nArtifact writing follows contract Section 24 (Artifact Writing Conventions): banned verbosity patterns, 25-word sentence cap, preferred vocabulary, and lead-with-conclusion structure.\n\n---\n\n## Audit mode\n\nTwo-phase check: deterministic validation (script), then agent-driven code analysis.\n\nStep markers: display \u0060\u2500\u2500 step N/3: verb\u0060 before each step.\nSteps: validate, check, report.\n\n### Step 1: Validate structure\n\nInspect \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060 and report structural issues: malformed YAML blocks, missing sections, unresolved references, or token entries without category/name/value.\n\n### Step 2: Check adherence\n\nScan codebase for design mismatches:\n\n1. **Token usage**: undeclared colors, fonts, or spacing values in code\n2. **Constraint violations**: prohibited properties in use (e.g., shadows when banned)\n3. **Component mismatch**: undeclared variants or prohibited props\n4. **Consistency**: ad-hoc styling on similar elements\n\n### Step 3: Report\n\nCategorize findings by severity (protocol refs: SF1-SF3 for finding severity):\n\n- \u21f6 **Critical** (VT5): tokens in code that don't exist in DESIGN.md (uncontrolled styling)\n- \u21c9 **Warning** (VT6): declared tokens not used anywhere (dead tokens), mild inconsistencies\n- \u21e2 **Info** (VT8): suggestions for new tokens or constraints based on observed patterns\n\nPresent with file:line references. For each finding, offer to:\n\u25b8 **Fix DESIGN.md**: add missing tokens or constraints\n\u25b8 **File to TODO.md**: if the code is wrong (design is right, code is out of sync)\n\u25b8 **Skip**: intentional or not worth fixing\n\nFor framework-specific enforcement beyond audits, derive checks from the project's stack and record them directly in DESIGN.md or TODO.md.\n\n---\n\n## Safety rails\n\n<critical>\n- NEVER modify DESIGN.md without explicit user approval. Present drafts and get confirmation.\n- NEVER write design tokens that conflict with VISION.md Identity. If the verbal identity says \"warm and approachable\" and the user wants a cold, brutalist palette, surface the tension explicitly and let the user resolve it.\n- NEVER impose aesthetic preferences. The user's taste drives the design. Have opinions, push for specificity, but defer to the user's choices.\n- NEVER skip the validation step after writing DESIGN.md. Inspect the structure and fix any errors before presenting the result.\n- NEVER create arbitrary token values. Use established scales (8pt grid for spacing, modular type scale for font sizes, OKLCH for perceptual color uniformity). The design system must practice what it preaches.\n- NEVER modify code files. Visualisera writes DESIGN.md; realisera implements it. The separation of declaration and implementation is fundamental.\n- NEVER copy or merge suite design (\u0060protocol.yaml\u0060 tokens, v2 app-home \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060, or capability instruction modules from \u0060prime --context\u0060) into the host project's \u0060DESIGN.md\u0060. Project design describes the host product only.\n- NEVER skip the codebase exploration (Step 1) when code exists. Arriving informed is what makes the conversation productive rather than generic.\n</critical>\n\n---\n\n## Exit signals\n\nReport one of these statuses at workflow completion (protocol refs: EX1-EX4).\n\nFormat: \u0060\u25f0 visualisera \u00b7 <status>\u0060 followed by a summary sentence.\nFor flagged, stuck, and waiting: add \u0060\u25b8\u0060 (VT15) bullet details below the summary.\n\n- **complete** (EX1): DESIGN.md was written (Create/Replace mode), updated (Refine mode), or audited with findings reported (Audit mode). Validation script ran without errors, and all changes had explicit user approval before writing.\n- **flagged** (EX2): The design system was produced or audited but with issues worth surfacing. Possible causes: validation passed but with advisory warnings, the design mismatches VISION.md Identity in ways the user acknowledged, or audit findings were discovered that were neither fixed nor filed to TODO.md.\n- **stuck** (EX3): Cannot write DESIGN.md because the user declined to approve the draft, the validation script reports errors that cannot be resolved without user input on the design intent, or the project's UI stack is inaccessible and token defaults cannot be reliably inferred.\n- **waiting** (EX4): The visual identity direction is entirely undefined and the user has not engaged with the design conversation, or the project has no UI layer and DESIGN.md would serve no purpose without clarification of what is being designed.\n\n---\n\n## Cross-capability integration\n\nVisualisera is part of a twelve-capability suite. It is the visual identity layer, the capability that defines how the project looks.\n\n### Visualisera reads visionera output\n\nVISION.md's Identity section declares the verbal personality (bold, warm, playful, etc.). Visualisera reads this to propose visual tokens coherent with the declared identity. If Identity says \"industrial and direct,\" visualisera proposes sharp edges and monospace type. Visionera reads DESIGN.md in return; neither writes the other's artifact.\n\n### Visualisera feeds realisera\n\nDESIGN.md's tokens and constraints guide autonomous UI development. When realisera builds components or pages, it reads DESIGN.md to understand what colors, typography, spacing, and constraints to use. The design system prevents visual mismatches across cycles.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by dokumentera\n\nDOCS.md tracks DESIGN.md in the artifact mapping. Dokumentera may document the design system as part of project documentation.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by inspektera\n\nWhen inspektera audits architecture alignment or pattern consistency, design system adherence is a relevant dimension. Future integration may include design-specific audit dimensions.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by profilera\n\nThe decision profile captures aesthetic preferences, specifically the user's established patterns around visual design, typography choices, and UI conventions. Visualisera reads these as defaults during the create conversation.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by inspirera\n\nWhen inspirera analyzes external design systems or visual patterns, the findings can feed into visualisera's research step or refine mode. External design references enrich the conversation.\n\n### Visualisera is informed by resonera\n\nWhen design decisions require deliberation, suggest \u2748 resonera before committing. Use it for competing aesthetics, brand evolution, or significant visual pivots.\n\n---\n\n## Getting started\n\n### New project: design before building\n\n1. \u26e5 visionera: create VISION.md with Identity section (who the project IS)\n2. \u25f0 visualisera: create DESIGN.md (how it LOOKS), coherent with the Identity\n3. \u29c9 realisera: build UI to the design spec\n\n### Existing project: capture the visual identity\n\n1. \u25f0 visualisera: reads existing styles, proposes tokens from what's already there\n2. Review and refine the generated DESIGN.md\n3. Set up enforcement from project-local checks\n\n### Audit existing design\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\n/agentera design\n\n\u0060\u0060\u0060\n\nSelect \"Audit\" mode.
