 This skill plans. It writes a spec and stops. No product file changes here.
 
+**Except in one mode.** `$rollback --steps N` backs out the last N steps of the item currently
+in progress, and does it rather than speccing it. The two jobs share a verb and nothing else:
+reversing completed work is large, has consequences for anything built on top, and earns a
+reviewed spec. Backing out two steps you just wrote is small, local, and speccing it would
+mean writing into the very file whose steps are being undone.
+
+## Backing out steps in progress
+
+Only for `--steps N`. For a completed item, skip to Step 1.
+
+1. **Read the active spec.** Take the last N ticked steps. If fewer than N are ticked, say so
+   and take what there is. If none are, there is nothing to undo and this stops.
+2. **Make it recoverable before making it gone.** Stash anything uncommitted with a named
+   entry, whatever `git.checkpoints` says, and keep the name. Undoing work git cannot recover
+   is a deletion, and the stash is what turns it back into a mistake that costs one command.
+3. **Show what will happen**, then ask once: the steps by number and title, the files that
+   change, and whether they came from commits or the working tree. Wait for a yes. This is
+   the only approval, and it does not extend to anything else.
+4. **Reverse it.** Where the steps are commits, revert their product diff. Where they are
+   uncommitted, restore the files to their state before those steps. Never rewrite pushed
+   history, and never reach past the current work item.
+5. **Untick the steps** in the active spec, so the next $implement resumes at the first
+   of them rather than believing they are done.
+6. **Report** what was reversed, what was left alone, and the exact command that recovers the
+   stash. Say the stash name; a recovery path nobody can find is not one.
+
+The spec, the archive and the build plan are untouched: the item is still in progress, and
+nothing about it has been completed or recorded.

+summary: answer one feasibility question with throwaway code, then delete it
+description: "Answer a single question about whether an approach will work, by building the smallest throwaway thing that settles it inside a stated time budget, then deleting the code and recording the answer under religion/history/spikes/. Nothing it writes ever ships. Use when the user runs $spike, asks whether something is possible or feasible, wants to know which of two approaches to take, says to try something and see, or is about to spec work that rests on an assumption nobody has tested. Not for a failure that already exists, which is $debug, and not for how something should look, which is $prototype."

+
+# spike - find out, then throw it away
+
+A spec written against an untested assumption is expensive twice: once when it is written and
+reviewed, and again when implementation discovers the approach does not work and the whole
+thing is revised. A spike moves that discovery in front of the spec, where it costs a
+morning instead of a work item.
+
+The code is not the output. The answer is.
+
+## Where it sits
+
+    a question the plans do not answer
+        |
+      [spike]  -> answer recorded, code deleted
+        |
+    $feature or $fix, now speccing something known to work
+
+## Input
+
+One question, and ideally a budget:
+
+    $spike "can we stream these updates over the platform's own APIs, or is a worker needed"
+    $spike "is the vendor SDK usable from an edge runtime" --budget 1h
+
+With no question, ask for one. A spike without a question is just unplanned work.
+
+**One question per spike.** Two questions is two spikes, because the answer to the first
+usually changes whether the second is worth asking.
+
+## Step 1 - state the question and the budget
+
+Write both down before touching anything: the question in a form that has a yes, a no, or a
+named alternative as its answer, and what a good enough answer looks like. A question that
+cannot be answered wrongly is not a question.
+
+The budget defaults to something small. Say it out loud, and say what happens when it runs
+out, which is that the answer becomes "not settled in the time given" and that is a real
+result rather than a failure.
+
+## Step 2 - build the smallest thing that settles it
+
+Write the least code that produces evidence. It may be ugly, it may be hardcoded, it may
+have no error handling and no tests, because none of it is going to exist tomorrow.
+
+Keep it out of the way of real code: a scratch directory, a single file, a branch you will
+not merge. Never build the spike inside the shape the real work will take, because that is
+how a spike quietly becomes the implementation.
+
+Do not install anything the project has not agreed to. A spike that needs a new dependency to
+answer its question has found part of its answer.
+
+## Step 3 - answer, with evidence
+
+State the answer, the evidence that decided it, and what you did not test. Evidence is a
+command and its output, a request and its response, a measurement. "It seemed to work" is not
+an answer.
+
+Then say what this means for the work that prompted it: which approach the spec should take,
+and what is now known to be off the table.
+
+## Step 4 - delete the code, keep the answer
+
+Delete what you built. This is the step that makes a spike a spike, and the one most often
+skipped, because working code is hard to throw away. Keeping it means an unreviewed, untested
+sketch becomes load-bearing later, which is worse than having no answer at all.
+
+Record the result under `religion/history/spikes/`, named for the question: what was asked,
+what the answer was, the evidence, the budget it took, and what is still unknown. That file
+is what stops the same question being asked again in six months.
+
+Deleting files is a first-tier action, so ask before removing anything that is not clearly
+the throwaway you just made.
+
+## Rules
+
+- One question, one spike, one answer.
+- The code never ships. If it turns out to be worth keeping, that is a spec, not a spike.
+- A budget that runs out produces "not settled", which is reported, not hidden.
+- Never spike something the plans already answer.
+- Never write to the findings ledger. A spike answers a question; it does not review code.
+
+## Formatting
+
+Match the conventions in `religion/context/ai-interaction.md`: concise, scannable markdown,
+lists for enumerations and tables for matrices rather than dense paragraphs.

+summary: note something for later without breaking the one thing in progress
+description: "Write a one-line note into religion/context/inbox.md and carry on, so noticing something worth doing does not cost the work item in progress. Takes the note as an argument, records it dated with where it came from, and stops. It never specs, never plans, and never starts work: /fix and /feature read the inbox when choosing what to build next. Use when the user runs /capture, says to note, park, remember or jot something down, mentions something worth doing later or some other time, or spots a problem mid-build that is not the thing being built."

+
+# capture - note it, keep building
+
+This exists because of a rule elsewhere: one work item at a time. That rule is what makes a
+cleared context cheap, and it is also what makes noticing something mid-build awkward, since
+there is nowhere to put it. Without an answer, a good observation either derails the work or
+is lost.
+
+The answer is a line in a file and no ceremony at all.
+
+## Input
+
+The note, as an argument:
+
+    /capture "the rate limiter drops the first request after an idle period"
+
+With no argument, ask what to note. Do not guess from the conversation, and do not sweep up
+everything recently mentioned: a note nobody chose is a note nobody wants.
+
+## What it does
+
+Append one line to `religion/context/inbox.md` with the date and, when there is one, the file
+or area it concerns. Then stop, and return to whatever was happening.
+
+That is the whole skill. It is deliberately small: anything more, and using it costs more
+attention than the thought was worth, which is the failure mode that makes people stop
+noting things.
+
+## What it does not do
+
+- **It does not spec.** A note is not a work item. /fix turns one into a spec when you
+  decide to.
+- **It does not start work**, touch the active spec, or tick anything.
+- **It does not record code defects found by review.** Those are findings, they carry
+  severities and block completion, and /audit owns them. A note is something you
+  thought of; a finding is something a review proved.
+- **It does not judge.** Write down what was said. Triage happens when the note is read, not
+  when it is written.
+
+## How a note leaves the inbox
+
+/fix and /feature read the inbox when they start, and offer what is in it
+alongside the build plan. Choosing one specs it and removes the line; that is the only way a
+note leaves, other than you deleting it.
+
+An inbox nobody reads is a list of things nobody did, so the reading is the point rather
+than the writing.
+
+## Rules
+
+- One line per note. If it needs a paragraph, it needs a spec, and that is /fix.
+- Never interrupt the work in progress to discuss the note.
+- Never write to the findings ledger.
+- Never let the inbox become a plan. The build plan is the plan.
+
+## Formatting
+
+Match the conventions in `religion/context/ai-interaction.md`: concise, scannable markdown,
+lists for enumerations and tables for matrices rather than dense paragraphs.
