 ## Overview
 
-用户一次审批 plan（`implement.jsonl`），agent 自主完成所有 task。**不是取消验证门**——每个 task 仍然：
-- 通过 tdd evidence gate
-- 通过 check phase gates
-- 独立 commit
-- 失败或高风险步骤暂停回用户
+User approves the plan once (`implement.jsonl`), then the agent autonomously completes all tasks. **This does not bypass verification gates** -- each task still:
+- Passes the TDD evidence gate
+- Passes the check phase gates
+- Gets an independent commit
+- Pauses back to the user on failure or high-risk steps
 
-仅取消的是 **task 间的手动推进**。
+Only the **manual progression between tasks** is removed.
 
 ## When to Use
 
-- Plan 已审批（`implement.jsonl` 完整且用户在 writing-plans 结束时说了 "approved" + "auto"）
-- 当前 before-dev 状态 = in_progress 或 review
-- Task 间低耦合（不同 files/modules，无写冲突）
-- L0/L1 任务为主（L2 建议逐 task 确认）
+- Plan is approved (`implement.jsonl` is complete and the user said "approved" + "auto" at the end of writing-plans)
+- Current before-dev status is in_progress or review
+- Tasks are low-coupling (different files/modules, no write conflicts)
+- L0/L1 tasks dominate (L2 tasks recommended for step-by-step confirmation)
 
-**不适用于**：
-- L2 任务（建议逐 task review）
-- Task 间有依赖或写冲突
-- 首次探索性实现（不确定实现路径）
-- 用户未显式请求时
+**Not applicable when**:
+- Tasks are L2 (step-by-task review recommended)
+- Tasks have dependencies or write conflicts
+- This is a first-time exploratory implementation (implementation path is uncertain)
+- The user has not explicitly requested batch mode
 
-## 启动条件

-以下任一条件触发并**暂停**，不继续下一个 task：
+Any single condition below triggers a **pause**; do not proceed to the next task:
 
-1. **TDD gate 失败**：任何 task 的 tdd.jsonl 证据被 invalid 或 missing
-2. **Check gate 失败**：任何 task 的 check.jsonl 有 unresolved blocker（重试 3 次后）
-3. **测试构建崩溃**：`git diff` 引入与 R-AG-005 不符的变更
-4. **3 次重试仍失败**：同一 task 的 implement + check 循环 3 轮仍未通过
-5. **L2 doubt-review blocker**：L2 决策有实质性怀疑发现未被 RECONCILE
+1. **TDD gate failure**: any task's tdd.jsonl evidence is invalid or missing
+2. **Check gate failure**: any task's check.jsonl has an unresolved blocker (after 3 retries)
+3. **Test/build breakage**: `git diff` introduces conflicts inconsistent with R-AG-005
+4. **3 retries still failing**: the same task's implement + check loop has not passed after 3 rounds
+5. **L2 doubt-review blocker**: an L2 decision has substantive unresolved doubt findings not reconciled

+- **Has it** → subagent without injected state. Skip directly to the `delegated_subtask` branch below.
+- **No `cowork_runtime_context_id`** → no context identity. Fail-closed: block and direct the user to `task start` or `continue`.
 
-如果上下文中**没有** `<workflow-state>` 块，说明当前平台的 hook/plugin 未向此上下文注入状态。

+| `planning` | BLOCK implementation. Allow planning files only (`decision-anchor.md`, `*.jsonl`). |
+| `in_progress` | ALLOW. Load context (below). L2 tasks require `doubt-review` before implementing. |

-你是子代理。按 bound runtime context 执行：
-- 运行 `./.cowork-flow/run subagent bind <runtime_context_id> <host_context_key>` 绑定
-- 加载任务目录和分配内容
-- 不要执行 start/resume/task start/task archive/commit/spawn
-- 完成分配的叶子工作

-**⛔ 阻断实现。** 任务在计划阶段，尚未就绪。
-
-回复用户：

-2. 整理 implement.jsonl 和 check.jsonl
-3. 运行 task next 确认准备状态
-4. 运行 task start 进入实现阶段
-
-现在继续计划工作？
-```
-
-**例外**: 如果用户明确要求做的是"计划工作"（写 decision-anchor.md、整理 jsonl），可以继续，
-但只能编辑任务计划文件，不能开始实现代码。
-
-### Status = `in_progress`
-
-**✅ 放行。** 任务正在执行中。
-
-加载任务上下文后继续：
-1. 读取 `<task>/decision-anchor.md`
-2. 读取任务关联的 plan 文件（通过 `<task>/task.json` 的 relatedFiles 查找，或搜索 `.cowork-flow/plans/` 中引用此任务的文件），按 plan 步骤执行
-3. 读取 `<task>/implement.jsonl`
-4. 读取相关 spec 文件
-5. 行为变更任务：确认 `<task>/tdd.jsonl` red evidence 存在
-6. 声明确认的假设、成功标准、涉及文件、验证命令

+# Simplification Review
+
+Run when code changes exceed 50 lines or review finds readability issues.
+
+## Pre-Simplification Self-Check (Chesterton's Fence)
+
+For each simplification, answer:
+- What is this code's responsibility? Who calls it? What does it call?
+- Will existing tests' defined behavior be broken?
+- Why did the original author write it this way? (check git blame)
+
+If you cannot answer, stop — you do not understand this code.
+
+## Simplification Signals
+
+| Signal | Action |
+|---|---|
+| Nesting depth >= 3 levels | Extract guard clause or helper |
+| Function > 50 lines | Split by responsibility into multiple named functions |
+| Nested ternary `a ? b : c ? d : e` | Replace with if/else / switch / lookup |
+| Boolean flag arguments `doThing(true, false, true)` | Replace with options object or split into two functions |
+| Same condition checked >= 3 times | Extract as a named predicate function |
+| Redundant wrapper `async () => await foo()` | Export foo directly |
+| Unused import / variable | Remove (after confirming no side effects) |
+| Missing type hint (when project convention requires it) | Add it |
+
+## Naming Readability Signals
+
+| Signal | Action |
+|---|---|
+| `data`, `result`, `temp`, `val` | Rename to describe content: `userProfile`, `errors` |
+| Abbreviations `usr`, `cfg`, `btn`, `evt` | Use full words (`id`, `url`, `api` are exceptions) |
+| Name contradicts behavior (`get` but mutates) | Rename to reflect actual behavior |
+| "What" comment (`// increment counter` on `count++`) | Remove comment |
+| "Why" comment (`// Retry because API is flaky`) | Keep |
+
+## Rule of 500
+
+If a refactoring would modify > 500 lines, use automated tools (sed/codemod/AST transform) rather than manual editing — manual large-scale changes are error-prone and cause review fatigue.
+
+## Red Flags
+
+- Simplification causes test failures (behavior was changed — violates "preserve behavior" principle)
+- "Simplification" results in longer and harder-to-read code
+- Renaming based on personal preference rather than project convention
+- Removing error handling "to make the code cleaner"
+- Batching multiple simplifications into one non-rollbackable large commit

@@ -7,112 +7,112 @@ description: Use when making non-trivial implementation decisions, starting L2 t
 
 ## Overview
 
-非平凡决策在被允许进入实现之前，必须通过怀疑审查。这不是可选的自我反思——它是 before-dev 门禁在 L2 任务中的子步骤。
+Non-trivial decisions must pass doubt review before being allowed into implementation. This is not optional self-reflection — it is a sub-step of the before-dev gate for L2 tasks.
 
-与 `/review`（对已完成 artifact 的 verdict）不同，doubt-review 是 in-flight 姿态：非平凡决策在 course-correction 还便宜时被交叉审查。
+Unlike `/review` (a verdict on a completed artifact), doubt-review is an in-flight posture: non-trivial decisions are cross-examined while course-correction is still cheap.
 
 ## When to Apply
 
-触发条件（满足任一）：
-- L2 任务（L1 可选但推荐）
-- 引入或修改分支逻辑
-- 跨模块边界
-- 依赖类型系统无法验证的属性（线程安全、幂等性、顺序不变量）
-- 用户明确要求时
+Trigger conditions (any one applies):
+- L2 tasks (L1 optional but recommended)
+- Introducing or modifying branching logic
+- Crossing module boundaries
+- Relying on properties the type system cannot verify (thread safety, idempotency, ordering invariants)
+- When the user explicitly requests it
 
-不适用于：
-- 机械操作（重命名、格式化、文件移动）
-- 阅读/总结现有代码
-- 一行变更且正确性显见
-- 用户明确要求速度 > 验证时
+Does not apply to:
+- Mechanical operations (renaming, formatting, file moves)
+- Reading/summarizing existing code
+- One-line changes where correctness is obvious
+- When the user explicitly requests speed over verification
 
 ## The 5-Step Doubt Cycle
 
-### Step 1: CLAIM — 2-3 行明确主张
+### Step 1: CLAIM — a clear 2-3 line statement
 
 ```
-CLAIM: "<决策一句话>"
-WHY THIS MATTERS: <为什么这个决策错了会致命>
+CLAIM: "<one-sentence decision>"
+WHY THIS MATTERS: <why this decision being wrong would be fatal>
 ```
 
-如果无法 2-3 行写清 CLAIM，说明你只有模糊感觉，不是决策。感觉到决策之间的距离 = 需要做的调研/思考。
+If you cannot write a CLAIM in 2-3 lines, you have a vague feeling, not a decision. The distance between feeling and decision is the research/thinking you need to do.
 
-### Step 2: EXTRACT — 最小可审查单元
+### Step 2: EXTRACT — minimal reviewable unit
 
-- 代码：diff 或函数（不是整个文件）
-- 决策：3-5 句子 + 约束条件
-- 剥离推理过程——只给输入，不给结论
+- Code: diff or function (not an entire file)
+- Decision: 3-5 sentences + constraints
+- Strip reasoning — provide only the input, not the conclusion
 
-### Step 3: DOUBT — fresh-context 对抗性审查
+### Step 3: DOUBT — fresh-context adversarial review
 
 ```
-找这个 artifact 的问题。假设作者过度自信。寻找：
-- 未声明的假设
-- 未处理的边界条件
-- 隐藏耦合或共享状态
-- 被违反的 contract 场景
-- 被破坏的现有惯例
-- 在意外输入下的失效模式
-
-不要确认。不要总结。找到问题，或明确声明审查后未发现问题。
-
-ARTIFACT: <粘贴 artifact>
-CONTRACT: <粘贴约束>
+Find problems with this artifact. Assume the author is overconfident. Look for:
+- Undeclared assumptions
+- Unhandled edge cases
+- Hidden coupling or shared state
+- Violated contract scenarios
+- Broken existing conventions
+- Failure modes under unexpected input
+
+Do not confirm. Do not summarize. Find problems, or explicitly state that no problems were found after review.
+
+ARTIFACT: <paste artifact>
+CONTRACT: <paste constraints>
 ```
 
-**关键**：只传 ARTIFACT + CONTRACT，不传 CLAIM。传入 CLAIM 会使审查者偏向认同。
+**Critical**: pass only ARTIFACT + CONTRACT, not CLAIM. Including CLAIM biases the reviewer toward agreement.
 
-注意：不能在子代理上下文中 spawn fresh-context reviewer。如在子代理内遇到需要 doubt 的情形，surface 回主会话。
+Note: you cannot spawn a fresh-context reviewer from within a subagent context. If you encounter a situation requiring doubt while inside a subagent, surface back to the main session.
 
-### Step 4: RECONCILE — 分类每个发现
+### Step 4: RECONCILE — classify each finding
 
-按优先级（第一个匹配的类别生效）：
-1. CONTRACT 误解 → 修复 CONTRACT 后重新分类
-2. 有效 + 可行动 → 修改 artifact，重新怀疑周期
-3. 有效但可接受权衡 → 明确记录
-4. 噪声 → 记录并排除
+By priority (first matching category wins):
+1. CONTRACT misunderstanding → fix CONTRACT, then reclassify
+2. Valid + actionable → modify artifact, restart doubt cycle
+3. Valid but acceptable trade-off → record explicitly
+4. Noise → record and exclude
 
-### Step 5: STOP — 有界循环
+### Step 5: STOP — bounded loop
 
-满足任一条件停止：
-- 下一轮只产生平凡或已考虑的发现
-- 3 周期完成（停止，向用户报告不要继续第 4 个）
-- 用户明确说"可以了"
+Stop when any condition is met:
+- Next round produces only trivial or already-considered findings
+- 3 cycles complete (stop; report to the user and do not proceed to a 4th)
+- User explicitly says "that's enough"
 
-3 周期后仍有实质发现 = artifact 不成熟，回到 Step 2 分解。
+Substantive findings remaining after 3 cycles = artifact is immature. Return to Step 2 to decompose.
 
 ## Common Rationalizations
 
-| Rationalization | Reality |
-|---|---|
-| "我很自信，跳过怀疑" | 自信与正确性相关性差。最自信时恰好是盲点藏匿处 |
-| "spawn reviewer 成本高" | 在生产调试一个错误 commit 的成本更高。怀疑周期是有界的 |
-| "检查会在 review 阶段做" | review 是最终 gate。doubt 在 in-flight 阶段，course-correction 还便宜时拦住 |
-| "每步都怀疑会无限拖延" | 怀疑仅适用于非平凡决策，重读 When NOT to Use |
-| "reviewer 不同意说明我错了" | reviewer 缺你上下文，不同意是信息不是 verdict。RECONCILE 再决定 |
+| Excuse | Why It Fails | Better Approach |
+|---|---|---|
+| "I'm confident, skip doubt" | Confidence correlates poorly with correctness. Highest confidence is where blind spots hide. | Write a 2-line CLAIM and pass the artifact to fresh-context review. Confidence is not a gate. |
+| "Spawning a reviewer is expensive" | Debugging a bad commit in production costs more. The doubt cycle is bounded. | Run one doubt cycle now; a bounded 5-step loop costs far less than a production debug session. |
+| "Review will catch it at the review stage" | Review is the final gate. Doubt catches issues in-flight while course-correction is still cheap. | Catch it in-flight; run doubt-review before the artifact is committed or merged. |
+| "Doubting every step causes infinite delay" | Doubt only applies to non-trivial decisions. Re-read When NOT to Use. | Confirm this decision is non-trivial per trigger conditions; if so, proceed — otherwise skip without guilt. |
+| "Reviewer disagrees means I'm wrong" | Reviewer lacks your context; disagreement is information, not a verdict. RECONCILE then decide. | Classify the finding via RECONCILE: contract fix, valid trade-off, or noise — then proceed on that basis. |
 
 ## Red Flags
 
-- 跳过怀疑步骤因为"我很自信"
-- 将审查者的输出当作权威而不是信息
-- 超过 3 周期仍在循环但未升级给用户
-- 审查者提示词使用"这个好吗？"而不是"找问题"
-- 连续 2+ 周期有实质发现但 0 个被分类为"可行动"——你在验证，不是怀疑
-- 将 CLAIM 传给审查者（使其偏向认同）
-- 怀疑表演：spawn reviewer 对未改的 artifact（得到同样发现 = 拖延）
+- Skipping doubt steps because "I'm confident"
+- Treating reviewer output as authoritative rather than informational
+- Looping past 3 cycles without escalating to the user
+- Reviewer prompt uses "is this good?" instead of "find problems"
+- 2+ consecutive cycles with substantive findings but 0 classified as "actionable" — you are validating, not doubting
+- Passing CLAIM to the reviewer (biases toward agreement)
+- Doubt theater: spawning a reviewer against an unchanged artifact (getting the same finding = stalling)

+## When to Invoke
+
+Invoke this skill at the start of any main-session conversation, especially:
+- New session or context was compressed
+- No `<workflow-state>` found in context
+- User asks to "start working" or "resume work"
+
+## Instruction Priority
+
+1. **User's explicit instructions** (AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
+2. **Cowork-flow skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict
+3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority
+
+## Workflow Navigation

+
+Skills are **mandatory gates**, not optional helpers:
+
+| Phase | Gate Skill | Blocks If |
+|-------|-----------|-----------|
+| Before any edit | `before-dev` | Wrong status for the action |
+| Implementation | `tdd` | No red evidence for behavior changes |
+| Verification | `check` | Contracts violated, tests missing |
+| Decision doubt | `doubt-review` | L2 decisions unreviewed |
+
+If a skill applies, you **must** invoke it. Rationalizing skip = failure.
+
+## Manual Override
+
+When auto-injection is unavailable (terminal, no hook):
+
+```bash
+./.cowork-flow/run task next          # read-only navigator

+| "This task doesn't need a verify command." | No verify = no completion signal. Every task must have an executable verification command. | Add at least one automated check (typecheck, test, lint, build) as the Verify step so completion is observable. |
 
 ## Plan Approval Gate
 
-plan 必须满足以下条件才能被标记为 approved：
-- implement.jsonl 中的所有 task 有清晰的 acceptance criteria
-- 每个 task 有 implement 步骤和 verify 命令
-- task 间依赖关系明确（是否可以并行/必须顺序）
+A plan can be marked as approved only when all conditions hold:
+- Every task in implement.jsonl has clear acceptance criteria
+- Every task has implement steps and verify commands
+- Task dependencies are explicit (parallelizable vs. strictly sequential)
 
-## 批准后选项
+## Post-Approval Options
 
-- **逐 task 推进**（默认路径）：用户 task start 一个 task，完成后再 task start 下一个。
-- **批模式**：用户明确说 "auto" 或 "batch" 后触发 batch skill（参见 skills/batch-mode/SKILL.md）。每个 task 仍然独立验证。
+- **Step-by-task progression** (default path): user calls `task start` on one task, completes it, then `task start` the next.
+- **Batch mode**: triggered when the user explicitly says "auto" or "batch" (see skills/batch-mode/SKILL.md). Each task is still verified independently.
 
-> **默认逐 task 推进。** 当用户没有显式说 "auto" 时，不进入批模式。
+> **Default is step-by-task progression.** Do not enter batch mode unless the user explicitly says "auto".
