+
+Two modes. State which one you want or the skill will ask.
+
+## Mode A — Add
+
+Intake a new requirement mid-flight without disrupting work in progress.
+
+1. **Capture**: What is the change? What problem does it solve?
+2. **Locate**: Which existing stories in `specs/epics/` does it affect or replace?
+3. **Draft**: Add story + `tasks[]` with Gherkin-style AC in epic YAML (each task has `verify`). Tag requirement deltas: `ADDED` / `MODIFIED` / `REMOVED` / `RENAMED` with before/after for non-`ADDED` changes (e45s29).
+4. **Place**: Append story under existing epic capsule, or create `specs/epics/eNN-slug.yaml` and register in `release-plan.yaml` `epics[]`.
+5. **Score**: Compute WSJF; note if it outranks in-progress work.
+
+→ verify: `grep -c 'stories:' specs/epics/*/epic.yaml`
+
+## Mode B — Reorder
+
+Value-engineering pass over the full release using WSJF.
+
+See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for the full WSJF scoring rubric.
+
+1. **Score** each epic/story: BV + TC + RR / Job Size.
+2. **Re-sort** `release-plan.yaml` `epics[]` and per-epic `wsjf` fields.
+3. **Flag cut candidates**: WSJF < 1.5.
+4. **Update** `specs/release-plan.yaml` and epic `wsjf` keys with rationale.
+5. **Report** the delta.
+
+→ verify: `grep -c 'wsjf' specs/release-plan.yaml specs/epics/*/epic.yaml`
+
+## Conversational Mode
+
+If the user's request is in natural language and does not match the structured format of Mode A or Mode B, enter Conversational Mode to extract the change parameters through interactive dialogue.
+
+### 5-Step Flow
+
+1. **Capture**: Parse the natural-language request for what, why, and where. Ask at most 3 clarifying questions before drafting.
+2. **Locate**: Identify which epic or capability in `specs/epics/` the request affects or replaces.
+3. **Draft**: Present a structured draft of the proposed story and tasks for user confirmation.
+4. **Score**: Estimate the WSJF score and explain the calculation so the user understands the priority.
+5. **Place**: Confirm the final epic placement with the user before writing files.
+
+## After either mode
+
+Run `bash scripts/sync-status-from-epics.sh`. Suggest `plan-work` or `build-epic` for the top-ranked unstarted story.

+
+# WSJF Scoring Reference
+
+Weighted Shortest Job First: **WSJF = (Business Value + Time Criticality + Risk Reduction) / Job Size**
+
+All dimensions scored 1–10 using a Fibonacci-like scale: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10.
+
+## Business Value
+
+| Score | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| 10 | Core revenue path, legal requirement, blocking launch |
+| 8  | Significant user value, major pain point removed |
+| 5  | Notable improvement, medium user segment affected |
+| 3  | Nice-to-have, minor convenience |
+| 1  | Cosmetic or speculative |
+
+## Time Criticality
+
+| Score | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| 10 | Hard deadline (regulatory, contract, launch date) |
+| 8  | Competitive window closing, partner dependency |
+| 5  | Would delay next milestone if deferred |
+| 3  | Flexible, can slip one sprint |
+| 1  | No urgency |
+
+## Risk Reduction (or Opportunity Enablement)
+
+| Score | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| 10 | Eliminates critical architectural risk or enables a new capability |
+| 8  | Reduces a known failure mode or unblocks high-value work |
+| 5  | Moderate risk mitigation or enablement |
+| 3  | Low risk reduction |
+| 1  | No risk relevance |
+
+## Job Size (effort denominator — larger = lower WSJF)
+
+| Score | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| 1  | Hours |
+| 2  | 1 day |
+| 3  | 2–3 days |
+| 5  | 1 week |
+| 8  | 2 weeks |
+| 10 | 1 month+ |
+
+## Cut threshold
+
+Stories with WSJF < 1.5 are cut candidates: high effort, low combined value.
+
+## Example
+
+Story: "Add OAuth login"
+- Business Value: 8 (removes major sign-up friction)
+- Time Criticality: 5 (Q3 launch nice, not hard)
+- Risk Reduction: 3 (minor security improvement)
+- Job Size: 5 (one week)
+
+WSJF = (8 + 5 + 3) / 5 = **3.2** — healthy, implement early.

Use when the user wants to commit recent work, prepare a Conventional Commits message, or asks for semantic-release / semver-consistent messaging before git commit."

+
+# Commit Message
+> **HARD GATE** — **HARD GATE** — Commits must follow Conventional Commits spec (type(scope): description). Do NOT use vague messages like 'fix' or 'updates.' The message must explain the 'why,' not the 'what.'
+
+
+## Modes
+
+- Default: standard Conventional Commits message
+- --fix-type: Forces type=fix. Use when commit type is unambiguous.
+
+## What "last chat" means
+
+- **Primary source of truth:** `git status`, `git diff` (unstaged), and `git diff --cached` (staged). Run these in the repo root (or the paths the user changed).
+- **Context:** use the current conversation to summarize *intent* and to spot **breaking** API/behavior changes that diff alone may not show.
+- If the user tracks a session baseline (e.g. branch, tag, or `git stash create` at start), you may `git diff <baseline>..HEAD` plus uncommitted diffs; otherwise use only the index and working tree.
+
+## Quick workflow
+
+1. **Inventory** — List changed paths; group by feature vs chore vs docs vs test-only.
+2. **Decide commit shape** — One atomic commit is ideal. If the diff mixes unrelated concerns, recommend **multiple commits** (each with its own type/scope) before suggesting one message.
+3. **Classify for semantic release** — `fix` → patch, `feat` → minor, **breaking** → major.
+4. **Write the message** — `type(optional-scope)!: description` (see [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md#message-format)). Use `!` or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer when behavior contracts change.
+5. **Note defensive-code categories touched** — from CONVENTIONS.md: Rate limit | Retry with backoff | Circuit breaker | Timeout | Graceful degradation
+6. **Note fix-ratio contribution** — Each `fix:` commit counts toward `metrics.commit_ratio.fix` in `specs/state.yaml`. After `release-branch`, `session-state` recalculates the ratio automatically. A high fix rate (>30%) triggers a deploy + smoke-test suggestion.
+7. **Deliver** — Output:
+   - Proposed **full commit message** (title + optional body + footers).
+   - **Release bump** this commit would drive: `patch` | `minor` | `major` | `none`.
+   - Optional `git add …` and `git commit -m` instructions; do **not** run destructive git commands unless the user asked.
+
+## Checklist before finalizing
+
+- [ ] Type matches the **dominant** user-visible outcome (`feat` vs `fix` vs `perf`, etc.).
+- [ ] **Scope** is a short noun in parentheses if it helps (e.g. `fix(api): …`).
+- [ ] Breaking changes are explicit (`!` and/or `BREAKING CHANGE:` in the body/footer).
+- [ ] Description is imperative, lowercase start after the prefix, no trailing period in the title line.
+- [ ] **NO `Co-authored-by` or `Co-Authored-By` footers** — P1 rule (CONVENTIONS.md § Git Attribution). All commits must appear as if authored solely by the human user. The git hook and `land-branch.sh` both block these.
+
+## When not to invent a bump
+
+If the repo uses a custom `@semantic-release/commit-analyzer` preset, note that your bump is **heuristic** and they should match `.releaserc` / `release.config.*`. See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md#custom-repositories).

+
+# Conventional Commits + semantic-style release (reference)
+
+## Message format
+
+From [Conventional Commits 1.0.0](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#specification):
+
+```text
+<type>[optional scope][optional !]: <description>
+
+[optional body]
+
+[optional footer(s)]
+```
+
+- **Scope:** parenthesized noun, e.g. `feat(parser): …`.
+- **Breaking:** `!` before `:` (e.g. `feat(api)!: …`) and/or footer `BREAKING CHANGE: description` (token must be uppercase per spec for that footer name).
+- **Description:** short summary; body explains *why* or migration steps.
+
+Common **types** (not exhaustive): `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `build`, `ci`, `chore` — as in [Angular / commitlint conventions](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint).
+
+## Advanced Specification Patterns
+
+### Reverts
+If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert:`, followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body, it should say: `This reverts commit <hash>.`.
+
+```text
+revert: feat(api): add user endpoint
+
+This reverts commit 676104e.
+```
+
+### Breaking Changes
+A breaking change can be signaled by:
+1.  A **`BREAKING CHANGE:`** footer (must be uppercase, at the start of the footer). This is the **most compatible** way to trigger a Major release in `semantic-release` (Angular preset).
+2.  A **`!`** after the type/scope: `feat(api)!: change user response shape`.
+
+**Pro-tip:** For maximum compatibility with all tooling (older and newer), use BOTH the `!` and the `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer.
+
+### Footers (Tokens & Values)
+Footers follow the same `Token: value` pattern as Git Trailers. Common tokens:
+- `Refs: #123`
+- `See-also: docs/ADR-001.md`
+- `Signed-off-by: Name <email>`
+
+**Multi-line footers:** If a footer value spans multiple lines, each subsequent line must be indented.
+
+### Squashing & History
+When using `gh pr merge --squash`, the PR title is usually used as the commit subject. 
+- **PR Title:** MUST follow `<type>(<scope>): <description>`
+- **PR Body:** Content will be moved to the commit body.
+
+## Release Type Mapping (Default Angular Preset)
+
+This table reflects the **out-of-the-box** behavior of `semantic-release` using the `@semantic-release/commit-analyzer` default (Angular) rules.
+
+| Commit pattern | Release | Notes |
+|----------------|---------|-------|
+| `fix:` | **Patch** | Bug fixes |
+| `feat:` | **Minor** | New features |
+| `perf:` | **Patch** | Performance improvements |
+| `any type` + `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer | **Major** | **Mandatory** for Major version bumps in default configs. |
+| `any type!:` (exclamation mark) | **Major** | Supported by modern CC parsers, but use footer for max safety. |
+| `docs:`, `chore:`, `test:`, `ci:`, `refactor:`, `style:` | **None** | Does not trigger a new release by default. |
+
+> **Warning:** While `refactor:` and `style:` improve code, they do NOT trigger a release in the default Angular preset. Use `fix:` if a refactor also fixes a bug, or `feat:` if it adds new behavior.
+
+## Custom Repositories
+
+- Read `release.config.js`, `.releaserc`, or `package.json` → `release` / `semantic-release` config.
+- The **@semantic-release/commit-analyzer** preset may map types differently; prefer **their** rules when they conflict with this reference.
+
+## Squash and PR titles
+
+- If the team squashes on merge, the **PR title** often becomes the single squashed commit subject — it should still follow `type(scope): description` for tooling.
+- `revert:` type and `Refs:` footers are valid patterns; revert handling varies by [tooling](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#specification).
+
+## Links
+
+- [Conventional Commits — specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#specification)
+- [semantic-release — README (commit format & flow)](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release#commit-message-format)
+- Automation and docs align with [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release) upstream; a fork may be substituted without changing this guidance.

+
+# Compose Workflow
+> **HARD GATE** — **HARD GATE** — Workflows are orchestration, not automation. Do NOT create workflows for tasks that should be single skills. Workflow complexity must be justified.
+
+
+## Process
+
+1. Interview: goal, phases, which skills, gates between steps.
+2. Write `specs/workflows/<name>.yaml`:
+   - `name`, `command`, `description`, `skills[]`, `verify`
+   - Optional: `args` for skill-specific arguments
+3. Register in state.yaml Active Decisions.
+4. Optional: reference from `orchestrate-project` Ad-Hoc mode.
+
+> **Prefer the YAML recipe format** over the legacy `specs/WORKFLOW-<name>.md` markdown format.
+> YAML recipes are command-mappable, machine-readable, and listed in the Standard Recipe Library.
+
+## Terminal-state taxonomy (e45s27)
+
+Every workflow step and `/loop` tick MUST exit with exactly one terminal state:
+
+| State | Meaning | Next action |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| `success` | Step verify passed; artifacts written | Advance to next skill in recipe |
+| `no-op` | Nothing to do (already green / already applied) | Skip step; advance |
+| `blocked` | External gate (approval, red CI, missing dep) | `diagnose-stall` or escalate to user |
+| `exhausted` | Max iterations/cycles reached (review cap, dispatch cycles) | Stop; human decision required |
+
+Record terminal state in `specs/state.yaml` `handoff.last_terminal_state` when a recipe step completes. `/loop` ticks that produce no progress for two consecutive wakes → invoke `diagnose-stall`.
+
+## Standard Recipe Library
+
+Pre-built recipes in `specs/workflows/` map agentic stack commands to skill chains.
+Reference them in AGENTS.md so `/command` directly invokes the matching recipe.
+
+| Command | Workflow | Skill chain |
+|---------|----------|-------------|
+| `/check-stack` | check-stack | survey-context → assess-impact → setup-environment |
+| `/ship` | ship | audit-code → commit-message → release-branch |
+| `/tdd` | tdd | develop-tdd → enforce-first |
+| `/code-review` | code-review | audit-code → request-review → respond-review |
+| `/security` | security | audit-code → request-review |
+| `/plan` | plan | survey-context → research-first → plan-work |
+| `/build-fix` | build-fix | investigate-bug → diagnose-root → develop-tdd → validate-fix |
+| `/e2e` | e2e | smoke-test → verify-work |
+
+Add to `AGENTS.md`:
+```

+
+## Process
+
+1. **Gather requirements** — ask user about:
+   - What task/domain does the skill cover?
+   - Which use cases must the skill handle?
+   - Does it need executable scripts or just instructions?
+   - Any reference materials to include?
+   - What specs/ output does it produce (if any)?
+
+2. **Verify Principles** — Ensure the skill aligns with [PRINCIPLES.md](../../docs/PRINCIPLES.md):
+   - Is it atomic (verb-noun)?
+   - Is it "deep" (simple interface, complex internal logic)?
+   - Does it include Hard Gates?
+   - Is it verifiable with a `.feature` file?
+
+3. **Draft the skill** — create:
+   - SKILL.md with concise instructions (see [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for template)
+   - Additional reference files if content exceeds 100 lines
+   - Utility scripts if deterministic operations needed
+
+   **Auto-skill from library README:** When user provides a library README or API docs URL, extract triggers and HARD GATEs.
+   Draft verify commands and specs/ output into SKILL.md. Do NOT invent APIs not in the source.
+
+4. Add `model:` frontmatter (`haiku` | `sonnet` | `opus`) per [model-profiles.md](../../docs/references/model-profiles.md).
+
+> **STREAM CONTINUITY** — When writing file content, output in continuous chunks of ~200 lines. Do not pause. Continue immediately until complete. If you need time, emit a placeholder comment rather than going silent.
+
+5. **Review with user** — present draft and ask:
+   - Does this cover your use cases?
+   - Anything missing or unclear?
+   - Does any section need more or less detail?
+
+6. **Completion-honesty gate (HARD GATE — e45s02)** — Before declaring done:
+   - Run `bash scripts/validate-skill-description.sh skills/<name>/SKILL.md` — must exit 0
+   - Run `bash scripts/validate-agentic-ste.sh --strict skills/<name>/SKILL.md` — must exit 0 (e79s02)
+   - Run `bash scripts/sync-skills.sh` — must complete without error
+   - Run `bash scripts/run-skill-verify.sh <name>` if the skill defines a verify command
+   - Show terminal output for each — narration without evidence is rejected
+
+## Naming Rules
+
+Every skill name must be a **two-word verb-noun pair**. See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for full rules, examples, and documented exceptions.
+
+## specs/ Output
+
+If the skill produces written output, it goes in `specs/` at the project root. Document the output file path in the skill body and in CONVENTIONS.md's output files table.
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+After drafting, verify:
+
+- [ ] Name is a two-word verb-noun pair (or follows grill-me exception)
+- [ ] Description < 1024 chars, triggers only, no workflow-summary leakage
+- [ ] Description includes triggers ("Use when...")
+- [ ] SKILL.md under 100 lines
+- [ ] No time-sensitive info
+- [ ] Consistent terminology with CONVENTIONS.md
+- [ ] specs/ output documented if applicable
+- [ ] `validate-skill-description.sh` exits 0
+- [ ] `validate-agentic-ste.sh --strict` exits 0 (e79s02)
+- [ ] `sync-skills.sh` run to propagate to Cursor/Gemini
+- [ ] `bash scripts/validate-skill-catalog.sh` passes for the new skill (HARD GATE — completion honesty)
+
+> **HARD GATE** — Do NOT declare the skill done until `bash scripts/validate-skill-catalog.sh --strict --skill <name>` exits 0. Validator enforces verb-noun name, HARD GATE block, description ≤1024 chars, and `→ verify:` command.

+# Craft Skill — Reference
+
+## Naming Rules (full)
+
+Every skill name must be a **two-word verb-noun pair**:
+- First word: a verb (survey, model, define, develop, audit…)
+- Second word: a noun from PMBOK 6 / Agile vocabulary (context, domain, language, tdd, code…)
+- Pronounceable in any language, searchable, no noise words, no encodings
+- Exception precedent: `grill-me` — kept for recognizability
+
+Good: `survey-context`, `audit-code`, `validate-fix`
+Bad: `context-surveyor`, `code-auditing-skill`, `fix-validator`
+
+Any new naming exception requires an entry in CONVENTIONS.md before the skill is published.

+Add utility scripts when:
+- Operation is deterministic (validation, formatting)
+- Same code would be generated repeatedly
+- Errors need explicit handling
+
+## When to Split Files
+
+Split into separate files when:
+- SKILL.md exceeds 100 lines
+- Content has distinct domains
+- Advanced features are rarely needed
+
+## sync-skills.sh Propagation
+
+After adding a new skill directory with SKILL.md, run `scripts/sync-skills.sh` from the bigpowers repo root. This automatically generates:
+- `.cursor/rules/<name>.mdc` — for Cursor
+- `.gemini/extensions/bigpowers/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` — Agent Skill
+- `.gemini/extensions/bigpowers/commands/<name>.toml` — Slash Command
+- `.gemini/extensions/bigpowers/commands/prompts/<name>.md` — Command Prompt
+- Updated `gemini-extension.json`
+
+verify: `bash scripts/sync-skills.sh 2>&1 | grep "skills synced"`
