 # Check a story against its requirements
 
-A story cites requirements (`EF-n`, `ENF-n`, and the decisions `AD-n` it must follow). This skill
-compares what was actually built with what those requirements say, and records every gap as a
-deviation in the journal: the creator then sees it on the story, on its pull request and on the
-requirement, and the story is not merged while one is open. It never fixes the code: the story's
-developer does.
+## Overview
 
-This skill belongs to the quality reviewer. Run it under your own id: `agent: <your id>` in every
-MCP call. Work in the creator's language; keep identifiers (`1-2`, `EF-n`, `AD-n`, `V-…`) as they
-are.
-
-- **Input:** one started story of `.agentplugged/stories/`, its branch, and the documents it cites.
-- **Output:** a deviation (`V-…`) per gap found, recorded with `story.deviation`; the deviations
-  you verified fixed, lifted with `story.lift_deviation`; and a structured result. No code change, no
-  push, no merge.
-
-## When
-
-- **During the build:** when the story's developer reports progress on a criterion, or when the
-  creator asks, compare what is already committed.
-- **Before the merge, at the latest:** once the story is in review and its pull request is open,
-  compare the whole branch. A story whose deviations are not all lifted is never merged.
-- **After a fix:** when the developer moves the story back to review, compare again: lift what is
-  fixed, report what is still wrong or newly wrong.
+- **Step:** build, as the quality reviewer (`agent: <your id>` in every MCP call). You never fix the
+  code: the story's developer does.
+- **Produces:** a deviation (`V-…`) per gap, with `story.deviation`; fixed ones lifted with
+  `story.lift_deviation`; a structured result.
+- **Reads:** the story file (its excerpts hold the requirements and `AD-n` it cites), `state.trace`, the code of its
+  branch; never the rest of the repository.
+- **Validation point:** none (the creator validates the story).
+- **When:** during the build on a developer's report or the creator's ask; at the latest before the
+  merge, on the whole branch; after a fix, when the story returns to review.
 
 ## Steps
 
-1. **Start.** Call `agent.status` (`working`, the story as `story`). Read `state.get`: the story
-   must be started (`stories.<id>.started`) and not done; its open deviations are in
-   `deviations.open`. Otherwise say so and go to step 8 with `partial`.
-2. **Read the story, and only what it cites.** The story file, entirely (its `requirements` and
-   its four sections). Each requirement it lists, in the PRD: the requirement itself and the
-   journey it belongs to. Each decision `AD-n` it cites, in the architecture. Never the rest of the
-   repository "to get a feel".
-3. **Read the trace.** Call `state.trace` with each requirement of the story: its status, its stories,
-   the tests that cite it (`path:line`), the pull requests of its stories and its deviations. A
-   test cites a requirement by writing its id in its name, in a comment or in its file's name:
-   `EF-18`, or `EF_18` where a name takes no dash, in a test file. `state.trace` reads the tests of
-   the working copy the MCP server runs in, usually the main checkout: the tests of a story not
-   merged yet live on its branch. Look for them there too, in the story's worktree
-   (`stories.<id>.started.worktree`) or with `git grep -n -i -E "(EF|ENF)[-_]18" <branch> --`,
-   before you conclude anything about them. When `tests.status` is not `read`, the trace says
-   nothing about the tests.
-4. **Read what was built.** In the story's worktree (`stories.<id>.started.worktree`), or from its
-   branch (`git diff <base>...<branch>`, `git log <branch>`): the code the story changed, and the
-   tests it added or changed. Note the commit you compare (`git rev-parse <branch>`).
-5. **Compare, requirement by requirement.** For each requirement the story cites:
-   - what it asks, as written (every condition, limit, error case and non-functional bound);
-   - what the code does, with the file and line that show it;
-   - which test proves it: a test that cites the requirement and checks that very behaviour. A
-     requirement of the story that no test on the story's branch cites is a deviation
-     (`no test cites EF-n`), unless the story says how it is checked otherwise; never conclude it
-     from the main checkout alone.
-   Then for each acceptance criterion: met, with its test, or not. A gap between the code and a
-   requirement or a criterion is a deviation; a matter of taste is not. When the requirement
-   itself is ambiguous, do not guess: say so in your result (an open question).
-6. **Report each deviation.** One `story.deviation` per distinct gap: the `story`, the
-   `requirements` it drifts from (only requirements the story cites), a one-line `summary` of what
-   differs, a `detail` with what the requirement says, what the code does and where (file and
-   line), and the `commit` you compared. The engine attaches it to the story's pull request when
-   there is one, and sends a story in review back to its developer. Never report the same gap
-   twice: read `deviations.open` first.
-7. **Verify the fixes.** For each open deviation you reported on the story: when the code and its
-   test now satisfy the requirement, call `story.lift_deviation` with the deviation and how it was
-   fixed (the commit). Lift only the deviations you reported, and only once verified; another
-   agent's deviation is its own to lift, and the creator may lift any, in the chat. A
-   deviation on a story you built yourself is never yours to lift (`DEVIATION_NOT_ALLOWED`); when
-   the agent that reported one is no longer active, ask the creator to lift it.
-8. **Report.** Call `story.result` with the story: `complete` when the comparison ran to the end
-   (whatever it found), `partial` when something kept you from it. A summary that lists, per
-   requirement, `ok` or the deviation ids; your assumptions, open questions and conflicts. Then
-   `agent.status` (`idle`) and `npx agentplugged next --json`, and tell the creator what it says.
+1. **Start.** `agent.status` (`working`, the story). `state.get`: the story must be started
+   (`stories.<id>.started`) and not done; its open deviations are in `deviations.open`. Otherwise
+   say so, `partial`, step 7.
+2. **Trace.** `state.trace` with each requirement (tests that cite it as `path:line`). A test cites a requirement with its id in a name,
+   comment or file name: `EF-18`, or `EF_18` where a name takes no dash. `state.trace` reads the
+   working copy the server runs in, usually the main checkout: the tests of a story not merged yet
+   live on its branch; look there too (`stories.<id>.started.worktree`, or
+   `git grep -n -i -E "(EF|ENF)[-_]18" <branch> --`) before concluding.
+3. **Read the build.** In the worktree, or `git diff <base>...<branch>`: the code and tests the
+   story changed. Note the commit compared (`git rev-parse <branch>`).
+4. **Compare.** Per requirement: what it asks, what the code does (file and line), which test proves
+   that very behaviour. A requirement no test of the branch cites is a deviation (`no test cites EF-n`) unless the story says how else it is checked. Per
+   acceptance criterion: met with its test, or not.
+   An ambiguous requirement is an open question, never a guess.
+5. **Report.** One `story.deviation` per distinct gap: `story`, `requirements` (only those the story
+   cites), a one-line `summary`, a `detail` (what it says, what the code does, file and line), the
+   `commit`. The engine sends a story in review back to its developer. Read `deviations.open` first: never report a gap twice.
+6. **Verify the fixes.** When code and test now satisfy the requirement, `story.lift_deviation`
+   with the deviation and the fixing commit. Lift only what you reported and verified; the creator
+   may lift any in the chat. A deviation on a story you built is never yours to lift
+   (`DEVIATION_NOT_ALLOWED`); if its reporter is inactive, ask the creator.

+# The methods
+
+One line each. Every kept item is an objection: `claim` (what you found), `passage` (where the
+document allows it), `proof` (the cheapest check). Keep what the document does not answer; worst first.
+
+- `pre_mortem`: a year on it failed; write the 3 to 5 likeliest causes, keep those a passage allowed.
+- `red_team`: be the adversary (misuse, attack, load, a dependency down); keep the cheap breaks nothing rules out.
+- `socratic`: ask of each premise why we believe it and what follows if false; keep the unevidenced.
+- `first_principles`: rebuild the simplest answer from the bare need; keep habit-weight and gaps.
+- `devils_advocate`: argue the opposite of each main choice, fairly; keep what the document does not answer.
+- `inversion`: list the sure ways to fail; keep what the document does or allows that leans that way.
+- `divergence`: two teams build two parts, each obeying every decision of the document exactly as written; keep where the parts still do not fit, with the `AD-n` that should have closed it.
+- `assumption_audit`: extract stated and silent assumptions, rank by odds and cost; keep the top few.
+- `steelman`: argue the rejected option at its best; keep the choices that lose to it.
+- `failure_modes`: per part, how it fails and what the user sees; keep the undetected or unrecovered.
+- `second_order`: follow each rule or default to its consequences and workarounds; keep bad endings.
+- `domain_expert`: read as a veteran of the field; keep the naive, impossible, illegal or already solved.
+- `extreme_user`: walk edge users (expert, newest, offline, abusive) through it; keep gaps many meet.
+- `compare_existing`: set it beside what exists (code, documents, products); keep contradictions, duplicates, breakages.
+- `reframe`: restate the problem wider, narrower and from the user's side; keep framings where a simpler answer wins.
+- `subtraction`: ask what is lost if each part goes; keep what costs to build or read and no journey misses.

 ## Never
