+  (name≠dirname, missing required field, or a top-level custom key), the same posture as the
+  containment check.

+### Per-skill eval harness (E8 — convention shipped, benchmark deferred)
+
+A skill may carry an **opt-in** eval file at `skills/evals/<name>.evals.json` (mapping to the
+standard's `<name>/evals/evals.json` in native packaging), adopting the skill-creator harness shape:
+
+- **`description_triggers`** — `should_fire` / `should_not_fire` prompt lists that test whether the
+  L1 description fires on the right requests and stays silent on the wrong ones (trigger-accuracy).
+- **`cases`** — each a `{ name, prompt, expect, with_without }`, where `expect` is an **outcome
+  property** a grader checks (never a script) and `with_without` toggles whether the case is meant
+  for with-vs-without-the-skill benchmarking.
+
+`scripts/check_skill_evals.py` (run in the `okf-drift` job) validates the **shape** of any present
+eval file and that it names a real skill. It **never runs a benchmark** — actually scoring
+with-vs-without needs labeled outcomes + compute and is **deferred** (there is no negative class

+# pmos-router — Route work to its lane
+
+The explicit front door. The lane map grew across
+[D56](/okf/products/pmos/adr/d56-initiative-lanes.md)/[D58](/okf/products/pmos/adr/d58-builder-profiles.md)/[D60](/okf/products/pmos/adr/d60-prototype-loop.md)
+while living implicitly across AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and the intake checklist — and the recorded cost
+of an implicit map is the `prototype-loop` discoverability failure (the PM could not find a flow
+whose pieces half-existed). This skill performs the mapping. **It decides nothing** — it routes to
+lanes and gates that already exist; where it and an authority disagree, the authority wins and the
+router is the bug (fix it via the weekly harness scan).
+
+> **Format note:** three-level progressive disclosure ([SKILL-FORMAT](/skills/core/SKILL-FORMAT.md)).
+> Sources of truth: the AGENTS.md lane list, `.github/scripts/initiative-gate.sh`, D56/D58/D60.
+
+## Step 0 — two checks before any route
+
+1. **Sharpness (the fog/ticket test):** *can the PM state the question or idea precisely now — not
+   answer it, state it?* If not, it is **fog**: not ready for intake. Name what would sharpen it
+   (a conversation, a datum, a spike) and stop — do not open an initiative to hold fog.
+2. **Prior rejection:** check [planning/out-of-scope/](/planning/out-of-scope/README.md) for the
+   concept. If a file exists, **read it first** and surface it to the PM — the concept returns only
+   if the PM overrides the recorded reasoning, and the file is updated either way.
+
+## The routes
+
+| The PM says… | Route | Lane / artifacts / next skill | Gates to expect |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| "I have an idea" for something **user-facing, not yet seen** | **Prototype first — before any PRD** | `type: prototype`; quick brief at `prd_path` (**no rubric BY DESIGN** — grilled, never scored); [prototype skill](/skills/core/prototype.skill). **Design-system precondition is BLOCKING** — absent → the agent authors one from the same brief, PM approves, first. | Initiative Gate (brief exists); web-ci quarantine; PM disposition (promote/iterate/kill) |
+| A **new bet** — new product/capability/direction whose *whether* is unargued | **Offer the strategic brief** (recommended, skippable — D61) | [strategic-brief skill](/skills/core/strategic-brief.skill) → `planning/briefs/<id>-brief.md`; go → feature route below; no-go → file in out-of-scope/ | none (the brief is never a gate) |
+| A **validated direction or known feature** (incl. a promoted prototype) | **Feature lane** | `type: feature`; PRD + eval rubric ([prd](/skills/core/prd.skill) + [eval-rubric](/skills/core/eval-rubric.skill) skills), rubric authored alongside (D13); contract before build (D16). A promoted prototype's PRD is **derived from the validated option**. New surface → leg B: [design-brief](/skills/core/design-brief.skill) as the build's reference, held to the [design-reference rubric](/planning/evals/design-reference-eval-rubric.md) | Initiative Gate (PRD+rubric); full three-tier gate |
+| "**Is this feasible / should we / how would we…?**" — answerable by investigation | **Discovery lane** | `type: discovery`; spike brief at `prd_path` ([discovery skill](/skills/core/discovery.skill)); question + timebox + disposition. Deliverable is a **learning** — if the PM needs to *see* it, that is the prototype route instead | Initiative Gate (spike brief) |
+| "**Production is broken**" | **Incident lane** | `type: incident`; fix now, record post-hoc within 48h at `prd_path` (the one sanctioned inversion; [incident template](/okf/core/templates/incident-record-template.md)) | Initiative Gate (record, post-hoc) |
+| A **text deliverable** (landing page, microcopy, release notes, campaign) | **Content lane** | `type: content`; content brief at `prd_path`, rubric recommended not required (D58); [copywriting skill](/skills/domains/copywriting.skill). Copy for a prototype rides the prototype instead (D60) | Initiative Gate (content brief) |
+| **Upkeep** — refactor/ops/security with no honest KR | **Chore lane, health-anchored** | `type: chore`; one-paragraph intent in `status`; anchor `health:<id>` from [health-budgets](/planning/okrs/health-budgets.md) (D59) — never a faked KR | Initiative Gate (intent + anchor) |
+
+**Every route** still takes the universal steps: anchored initiative row (`create_initiative`),
+branch `initiative/<id>`, and the human Acceptance Gate at the end (D12) — the router never bypasses
+[working-in-pmos](/okf/core/playbooks/working-in-pmos.md).
+
+## Edge rules
+
+- **Two shapes at once** (an idea that is also a bet): sharpness first, then the brief-offer, then
+  prototype — *whether* precedes *look*, but only when the whether is genuinely open; if the PM has
+  already decided to explore, go straight to prototype.
+- **Anchor-free trivia** (a typo, a broken link): the `no-initiative` label, no lane. Real work
+  never takes the hatch.
+- **Unknown shape after the checks:** ask the PM one routing question with a recommended answer —
+  do not guess a lane.

 ## Procedure
 
+0. **Grill before you write.** Before any authoring, interrogate the PM's intent as a dialogue —
+   **one question at a time, a recommended answer offered with each**, no authoring until shared
+   understanding is confirmed. Stop when the intent is **unambiguous**, not at a count — there is
+   deliberately **no question cap** (under-specification needs unlimited digging; a redundant
+   question is a quality bug, not a quantity bug). A batch questionnaire is **not** compliant with

+   environment, look it up rather than asking — the decisions, though, are the PM's* (D12 at
