-# Writing Agent Briefs
-
-An agent brief is a structured comment posted on a GitHub issue or PR when it moves to `ready-for-agent`. It is the authoritative specification that an AFK agent will work from. The original body and discussion are context — the agent brief is the contract.
-
-The brief states **what the agent should do**, which stretches to both surfaces: for an issue, that's building the change from nothing; for a PR, it's what's left to do *to the existing diff* — finish it, close gaps, address review points. Same principles either way; the PR example below shows the difference.
-
-## Principles
-
-### Durability over precision
-
-The issue may sit in `ready-for-agent` for days or weeks. The codebase will change in the meantime. Write the brief so it stays useful even as files are renamed, moved, or refactored.
-
-- **Do** describe interfaces, types, and behavioral contracts
-- **Do** name specific types, function signatures, or config shapes that the agent should look for or modify
-- **Don't** reference file paths — they go stale
-- **Don't** reference line numbers
-- **Don't** assume the current implementation structure will remain the same
-
-### Behavioral, not procedural
-
-Describe **what** the system should do, not **how** to implement it. The agent will explore the codebase fresh and make its own implementation decisions.
-
-- **Good:** "The `SkillConfig` type should accept an optional `schedule` field of type `CronExpression`"
-- **Bad:** "Open src/types/skill.ts and add a schedule field on line 42"
-- **Good:** "When a user runs `/triage` with no arguments, they should see a summary of issues needing attention"
-- **Bad:** "Add a switch statement in the main handler function"
-
-### Complete acceptance criteria
-
-The agent needs to know when it's done. Every agent brief must have concrete, testable acceptance criteria. Each criterion should be independently verifiable.
-
-- **Good:** "Running `gh issue list --label needs-triage` returns issues that have been through initial classification"
-- **Bad:** "Triage should work correctly"
-
-### Explicit scope boundaries
-
-State what is out of scope. This prevents the agent from gold-plating or making assumptions about adjacent features.
-
-## Template
-
-```markdown
-## Agent Brief
-
-**Category:** bug / enhancement
-**Summary:** one-line description of what needs to happen
-
-**Current behavior:**
-Describe what happens now. For bugs, this is the broken behavior.
-For enhancements, this is the status quo the feature builds on.
-
-**Desired behavior:**
-Describe what should happen after the agent's work is complete.
-Be specific about edge cases and error conditions.
-
-**Key interfaces:**
-- `TypeName` — what needs to change and why
-- `functionName()` return type — what it currently returns vs what it should return
-- Config shape — any new configuration options needed
-
-**Acceptance criteria:**
-- [ ] Specific, testable criterion 1
-- [ ] Specific, testable criterion 2
-- [ ] Specific, testable criterion 3
-
-**Out of scope:**
-- Thing that should NOT be changed or addressed in this issue
-- Adjacent feature that might seem related but is separate
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Good agent brief (bug)
-
-```markdown
-## Agent Brief
-
-**Category:** bug
-**Summary:** Skill description truncation drops mid-word, producing broken output
-
-**Current behavior:**
-When a skill description exceeds 1024 characters, it is truncated at exactly
-1024 characters regardless of word boundaries. This produces descriptions
-that end mid-word (e.g. "Use when the user wants to confi").
-
-**Desired behavior:**
-Truncation should break at the last word boundary before 1024 characters
-and append "..." to indicate truncation.
-
-**Key interfaces:**
-- The `SkillMetadata` type's `description` field — no type change needed,
-  but the validation/processing logic that populates it needs to respect
-  word boundaries
-- Any function that reads SKILL.md frontmatter and extracts the description
-
-**Acceptance criteria:**
-- [ ] Descriptions under 1024 chars are unchanged
-- [ ] Descriptions over 1024 chars are truncated at the last word boundary
-      before 1024 chars
-- [ ] Truncated descriptions end with "..."
-- [ ] The total length including "..." does not exceed 1024 chars
-
-**Out of scope:**
-- Changing the 1024 char limit itself
-- Multi-line description support
-```
-
-### Good agent brief (enhancement)
-
-```markdown
-## Agent Brief
-
-**Category:** enhancement
-**Summary:** Add `.out-of-scope/` directory support for tracking rejected feature requests
-
-**Current behavior:**
-When a feature request is rejected, the issue is closed with a `wontfix` label
-and a comment. There is no persistent record of the decision or reasoning.
-Future similar requests require the maintainer to recall or search for the
-prior discussion.
-
-**Desired behavior:**
-Rejected feature requests should be documented in `.out-of-scope/<concept>.md`
-files that capture the decision, reasoning, and links to all issues that
-requested the feature. When triaging new issues, these files should be
-checked for matches.
-
-**Key interfaces:**
-- Markdown file format in `.out-of-scope/` — each file should have a
-  `# Concept Name` heading, a `**Decision:**` line, a `**Reason:**` line,
-  and a `**Prior requests:**` list with issue links
-- The triage workflow should read all `.out-of-scope/*.md` files early
-  and match incoming issues against them by concept similarity
-
-**Acceptance criteria:**
-- [ ] Closing a feature as wontfix creates/updates a file in `.out-of-scope/`
-- [ ] The file includes the decision, reasoning, and link to the closed issue
-- [ ] If a matching `.out-of-scope/` file already exists, the new issue is
-      appended to its "Prior requests" list rather than creating a duplicate
-- [ ] During triage, existing `.out-of-scope/` files are checked and surfaced
-      when a new issue matches a prior rejection
-
-**Out of scope:**
-- Automated matching (human confirms the match)
-- Reopening previously rejected features
-- Bug reports (only enhancement rejections go to `.out-of-scope/`)
-```
-
-### Good agent brief (PR)
-
-For a PR, "Current behavior" describes the state of the diff, and the brief asks the agent to finish or fix it rather than build from scratch.
-
-```markdown
-## Agent Brief
-
-**Category:** enhancement
-**Summary:** Finish the contributor's `--json` output flag for `triage list`
-
-**Current behavior:**
-The PR adds a `--json` flag that serializes the issue list to JSON. The happy
-path works and the diff matches the project's command structure. Two gaps
-remain: errors are still printed as human text (not JSON), and the new flag has
-no test coverage.
-
-**Desired behavior:**
-With `--json`, all output — including errors — is well-formed JSON on stdout,
-and the command's exit codes are unchanged. The existing human-readable output
-is untouched when the flag is absent.
-
-**Key interfaces:**
-- The command's error path should emit `{ "error": string }` under `--json`
-  instead of the plain-text error
-- Reuse the existing serializer the PR already added; don't introduce a second
-
-**Acceptance criteria:**
-- [ ] `triage list --json` emits valid JSON for both success and error cases
-- [ ] Exit codes match the non-JSON command
-- [ ] A test covers the `--json` success output and one error case
-- [ ] Default (non-JSON) output is byte-for-byte unchanged
-
-**Out of scope:**
-- Adding `--json` to any other command
-- Changing the JSON shape of the success payload the PR already defined
-```
-
-### Bad agent brief
-
-```markdown
-## Agent Brief
-
-**Summary:** Fix the triage bug
-
-**What to do:**
-The triage thing is broken. Look at the main file and fix it.
-The function around line 150 has the issue.
-
-**Files to change:**
-- src/triage/handler.ts (line 150)
-- src/types.ts (line 42)
-```
-
-This is bad because:
-- No category
-- Vague description ("the triage thing is broken")
-- References file paths and line numbers that will go stale
-- No acceptance criteria
-- No scope boundaries
-- No description of current vs desired behavior

-# Out-of-Scope Knowledge Base
-
-The `.out-of-scope/` directory in a repo stores persistent records of rejected feature requests. It serves two purposes:
-
-1. **Institutional memory** — why a feature was rejected, so the reasoning isn't lost when the issue is closed
-2. **Deduplication** — when a new issue comes in that matches a prior rejection, the skill can surface the previous decision instead of re-litigating it
-
-## Directory structure
-
-```
-.out-of-scope/
-├── dark-mode.md
-├── plugin-system.md
-└── graphql-api.md
-```
-
-One file per **concept**, not per issue. Multiple issues requesting the same thing are grouped under one file.
-
-## File format
-
-The file should be written in a relaxed, readable style — more like a short design document than a database entry. Use paragraphs, code samples, and examples to make the reasoning clear and useful to someone encountering it for the first time.
-
-```markdown
-# Dark Mode
-
-This project does not support dark mode or user-facing theming.
-
-## Why this is out of scope
-
-The rendering pipeline assumes a single color palette defined in
-`ThemeConfig`. Supporting multiple themes would require:
-
-- A theme context provider wrapping the entire component tree
-- Per-component theme-aware style resolution
-- A persistence layer for user theme preferences
-
-This is a significant architectural change that doesn't align with the
-project's focus on content authoring. Theming is a concern for downstream
-consumers who embed or redistribute the output.
-
-```ts
-// The current ThemeConfig interface is not designed for runtime switching:
-interface ThemeConfig {
-  colors: ColorPalette; // single palette, resolved at build time
-  fonts: FontStack;
-}
-```
-
-## Prior requests
-
-- #42 — "Add dark mode support"
-- #87 — "Night theme for accessibility"
-- #134 — "Dark theme option"
-```
-
-### Naming the file
-
-Use a short, descriptive kebab-case name for the concept: `dark-mode.md`, `plugin-system.md`, `graphql-api.md`. The name should be recognizable enough that someone browsing the directory understands what was rejected without opening the file.
-
-### Writing the reason
-
-The reason should be substantive — not "we don't want this" but why. Good reasons reference:
-
-- Project scope or philosophy ("This project focuses on X; theming is a downstream concern")
-- Technical constraints ("Supporting this would require Y, which conflicts with our Z architecture")
-- Strategic decisions ("We chose to use A instead of B because...")
-
-The reason should be durable. Avoid referencing temporary circumstances ("we're too busy right now") — those aren't real rejections, they're deferrals.
-
-## When to check `.out-of-scope/`
-
-During triage (Step 1: Gather context), read all files in `.out-of-scope/`. When evaluating a new issue:
-
-- Check if the request matches an existing out-of-scope concept
-- Matching is by concept similarity, not keyword — "night theme" matches `dark-mode.md`
-- If there's a match, surface it to the maintainer: "This is similar to `.out-of-scope/dark-mode.md` — we rejected this before because [reason]. Do you still feel the same way?"
-
-The maintainer may:
-
-- **Confirm** — the new issue gets added to the existing file's "Prior requests" list, then closed
-- **Reconsider** — the out-of-scope file gets deleted or updated, and the issue proceeds through normal triage
-- **Disagree** — the issues are related but distinct, proceed with normal triage
-
-## When to write to `.out-of-scope/`
-
-Only when an **enhancement** (not a bug) is *rejected* as `wontfix`. This applies to enhancement PRs exactly as it does to issues — a rejected PR is recorded here so the same request doesn't return as fresh code.
-
-Do **not** write here when something is closed as `wontfix` because it's **already implemented**. That's a built feature, not a rejected one; recording it would poison the dedup checks with false rejections. Instead, the closing comment points to where the feature already lives.
-
-The flow:
-
-1. Maintainer decides a feature request is out of scope
-2. Check if a matching `.out-of-scope/` file already exists
-3. If yes: append the new issue to the "Prior requests" list
-4. If no: create a new file with the concept name, decision, reason, and first prior request
-5. Post a comment on the issue explaining the decision and mentioning the `.out-of-scope/` file
-6. Close the issue with the `wontfix` label
-
-## Updating or removing out-of-scope files
-
-If the maintainer changes their mind about a previously rejected concept:
-
-- Delete the `.out-of-scope/` file
-- The skill does not need to reopen old issues — they're historical records
-- The new issue that triggered the reconsideration proceeds through normal triage

----
-
-# Triage
-
-Move issues on the project issue tracker through a small state machine of triage roles.
-
-If this repo treats external pull requests as a request surface (see the issue-tracker config), triage covers them too: **a PR is an issue with attached code** — same roles, same states, same machine, with a few deltas marked "for a PR" below. Resolve a bare `#42` to an issue or PR per the tracker config.
-
-Every comment or issue posted to the issue tracker during triage **must** start with this disclaimer:
-
-```
-> *This was generated by AI during triage.*
-```
-
-## Reference docs
-
-- [AGENT-BRIEF.md](AGENT-BRIEF.md) — how to write durable agent briefs
-- [OUT-OF-SCOPE.md](OUT-OF-SCOPE.md) — how the `.out-of-scope/` knowledge base works
-
-## Roles
-
-Two **category** roles:
-
-- `bug` — something is broken
-- `enhancement` — new feature or improvement
-
-Five **state** roles:
-
-- `needs-triage` — maintainer needs to evaluate
-- `needs-info` — waiting on reporter for more information
-- `ready-for-agent` — fully specified, ready for an AFK agent
-- `ready-for-human` — needs human implementation
-- `wontfix` — will not be actioned
-
-For a PR, the same states read against the attached code: `ready-for-agent` means a brief is attached and an agent should take the next step on the diff; `ready-for-human` means it's ready for a human to merge.
-
-Every triaged issue should carry exactly one category role and one state role. If state roles conflict, flag it and ask the maintainer before doing anything else.
-
-These are canonical role names. The actual label strings used in the issue tracker may differ. The mapping should have been provided to you. If not, tell the user to run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills`.
-
-State transitions: an unlabeled issue normally goes to `needs-triage` first; from there it moves to `needs-info`, `ready-for-agent`, `ready-for-human`, or `wontfix`. `needs-info` returns to `needs-triage` once the reporter replies. The maintainer can override at any time — flag transitions that look unusual and ask before proceeding.
-
-## Invocation
-
-The maintainer invokes `/triage` and describes what they want in natural language. Interpret the request and act. Examples:
-
-- "Show me anything that needs my attention"
-- "Let's look at #42" (issue or PR)
-- "Move #42 to ready-for-agent"
-- "What's ready for agents to pick up?"
-
-## Show what needs attention
-
-Query the issue tracker and present three buckets, oldest first:
-
-1. **Unlabeled** — never triaged.
-2. **`needs-triage`** — evaluation in progress.
-3. **`needs-info` with reporter activity since the last triage notes** — needs re-evaluation.
-
-When PRs are in scope, include external PRs in these buckets and tag each line `[PR]` or `[issue]`. Discovery surfaces only *external* PRs (the tracker config defines who counts as external) — a collaborator's in-flight PR is not triage work. This filter is discovery-only; an explicitly named PR is always triaged regardless of author.
-
-Show counts and a one-line summary per item. Let the maintainer pick.
-
-## Triage a specific issue or PR
-
-1. **Gather context.** Read the full issue or PR (body, comments, labels, author, dates; for a PR, the diff too). Parse any prior triage notes so you don't re-ask resolved questions. Explore the codebase using the project's domain glossary, respecting ADRs in the area. Run two checks against the codebase: (a) **redundancy** — search for an existing implementation of the requested behavior by domain concept (not just the request's wording), and report where you looked. If found, it's an already-implemented `wontfix` (step 5). (b) **prior rejection** — read `.out-of-scope/*.md` and surface any that resembles this request.
-
-2. **Recommend.** Tell the maintainer your category and state recommendation with reasoning, plus a brief codebase summary relevant to the request — including whether it's already implemented. Wait for direction.
-
-3. **Verify the claim.** Before any grilling, check that the claim holds up. For a bug, reproduce it from the reporter's steps. For a PR, confirm the diff does what it claims — check it out, run the relevant tests or commands. Report what happened: confirmed (with code path), failed, or insufficient detail (a strong `needs-info` signal). A confirmed verification makes a much stronger agent brief.
-
-4. **Grill (if needed).** If the request needs fleshing out, call the Skill tool twice, for "grilling" and "domain-modeling", and grill it into shape a round of questions at a time, sharpening domain terms and updating `CONTEXT.md`/ADRs inline as decisions land.
-
-5. **Apply the outcome:**
-   - `ready-for-agent` — post an agent brief comment ([AGENT-BRIEF.md](AGENT-BRIEF.md)).
-   - `ready-for-human` — same structure as an agent brief, but note why it can't be delegated (judgment calls, external access, design decisions, manual testing).
-   - `needs-info` — post triage notes (template below).
-   - `wontfix` — close, with the comment depending on *why*:
-     - **Already implemented** — the change already exists in the codebase. Point to where it lives; do **not** write to `.out-of-scope/` (that KB is for *rejected* requests, not built ones).
-     - **Rejected (bug)** — polite explanation, then close.
-     - **Rejected (enhancement)** — write to `.out-of-scope/`, link to it from a comment, then close ([OUT-OF-SCOPE.md](OUT-OF-SCOPE.md)).
-   - `needs-triage` — apply the role. Optional comment if there's partial progress.
-
-## Quick state override
-
-If the maintainer says "move #42 to ready-for-agent", trust them and apply the role directly. Confirm what you're about to do (role changes, comment, close), then act. Skip grilling. If moving to `ready-for-agent` without a grilling session, ask whether they want to write an agent brief.
-
-## Needs-info template
-
-```markdown
-## Triage Notes
-
-**What we've established so far:**
-
-- point 1
-- point 2
-
-**What we still need from you (@reporter):**
-
-- question 1
-- question 2
-```
-
-Capture everything resolved during grilling under "established so far" so the work isn't lost. Questions must be specific and actionable, not "please provide more info".
-
-## Resuming a previous session
-
-If prior triage notes exist on the issue or PR, read them, check whether the reporter has answered any outstanding questions, and present an updated picture before continuing. Don't re-ask resolved questions.

-name: using-git-worktrees
-description: Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback
----
-
-# Using Git Worktrees
-
-## Overview
-
-Ensure work happens in an isolated workspace. Prefer your platform's native worktree tools. Fall back to manual git worktrees only when no native tool is available.
-
-**Core principle:** Detect existing isolation first. Then use native tools. Then fall back to git. Never fight the harness.
-
-**Announce at start:** "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."
-
-## Step 0: Detect Existing Isolation
-
-**Before creating anything, check if you are already in an isolated workspace.**
-
-```bash
-GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
-GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
-BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
-```
-
-**Submodule guard:** `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` is also true inside git submodules. Before concluding "already in a worktree," verify you are not in a submodule:
-
-```bash
-# If this returns a path, you're in a submodule, not a worktree — treat as normal repo
-git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**If `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` (and not a submodule):** You are already in a linked worktree. Skip to Step 2 (Project Setup). Do NOT create another worktree.
-
-Report with branch state:
-- On a branch: "Already in isolated workspace at `<path>` on branch `<name>`."
-- Detached HEAD: "Already in isolated workspace at `<path>` (detached HEAD, externally managed). Branch creation needed at finish time."
-
-**If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (or in a submodule):** You are in a normal repo checkout.
-
-Has the user already indicated their worktree preference in your instructions? If not, ask for consent before creating a worktree:
-
-> "Would you like me to set up an isolated worktree? It protects your current branch from changes."
-
-Honor any existing declared preference without asking. If the user declines consent, work in place and skip to Step 2.
-
-## Step 1: Create Isolated Workspace
-
-**You have two mechanisms. Try them in this order.**
-
-### 1a. Native Worktree Tools (preferred)
-
-The user has asked for an isolated workspace (Step 0 consent). Do you already have a way to create a worktree? It might be a tool with a name like `EnterWorktree`, `WorktreeCreate`, a `/worktree` command, or a `--worktree` flag. If you do, use it and skip to Step 2.
-
-Native tools handle directory placement, branch creation, and cleanup automatically. Using `git worktree add` when you have a native tool creates phantom state your harness can't see or manage.
-
-Only proceed to Step 1b if you have no native worktree tool available.
-
-### 1b. Git Worktree Fallback
-
-**Only use this if Step 1a does not apply** — you have no native worktree tool available. Create a worktree manually using git.
-
-#### Directory Selection
-
-Follow this priority order. Explicit user preference always beats observed filesystem state.
-
-1. **Check your instructions for a declared worktree directory preference.** If the user has already specified one, use it without asking.
-
-2. **Check for an existing project-local worktree directory:**
-   ```bash
-   ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null     # Preferred (hidden)
-   ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null      # Alternative
-   ```
-   If found, use it. If both exist, `.worktrees` wins.
-
-3. **If there is no other guidance available**, default to `.worktrees/` at the project root.
-
-#### Safety Verification (project-local directories only)
-
-**MUST verify directory is ignored before creating worktree:**
-
-```bash
-git check-ignore -q .worktrees 2>/dev/null || git check-ignore -q worktrees 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**If NOT ignored:** Add to .gitignore, commit the change, then proceed.
-
-**Why critical:** Prevents accidentally committing worktree contents to repository.
-
-#### Create the Worktree
-
-```bash
-# Determine path based on chosen location
-path="$LOCATION/$BRANCH_NAME"
-
-git worktree add "$path" -b "$BRANCH_NAME"
-cd "$path"
-```
-
-**Sandbox fallback:** If `git worktree add` fails with a permission error (sandbox denial), tell the user the sandbox blocked worktree creation and you're working in the current directory instead. Then run setup and baseline tests in place.
-
-## Step 2: Project Setup
-
-Auto-detect and run appropriate setup:
-
-```bash
-# Node.js
-if [ -f package.json ]; then npm install; fi
-
-# Rust
-if [ -f Cargo.toml ]; then cargo build; fi
-
-# Python
-if [ -f requirements.txt ]; then pip install -r requirements.txt; fi
-if [ -f pyproject.toml ]; then poetry install; fi
-
-# Go
-if [ -f go.mod ]; then go mod download; fi
-```
-
-## Step 3: Verify Clean Baseline
-
-Run tests to ensure workspace starts clean:
-
-```bash
-# Use project-appropriate command
-npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...
-```
-
-**If tests fail:** Report failures, ask whether to proceed or investigate.
-
-**If tests pass:** Report ready.
-
-### Report
-
-```
-Worktree ready at <full-path>
-Tests passing (<N> tests, 0 failures)
-Ready to implement <feature-name>
-```
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-| Situation | Action |
-|-----------|--------|
-| Already in linked worktree | Skip creation (Step 0) |
-| In a submodule | Treat as normal repo (Step 0 guard) |
-| Native worktree tool available | Use it (Step 1a) |
-| No native tool | Git worktree fallback (Step 1b) |
-| `.worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify ignored) |
-| `worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify ignored) |
-| Both exist | Use `.worktrees/` |
-| Neither exists | Check instruction file, then default `.worktrees/` |
-| Directory not ignored | Add to .gitignore + commit |
-| Permission error on create | Sandbox fallback, work in place |
-| Tests fail during baseline | Report failures + ask |
-| No package.json/Cargo.toml | Skip dependency install |

-## Common Mistakes
-
-### Fighting the harness
-
-- **Problem:** Using `git worktree add` when the platform already provides isolation
-- **Fix:** Step 0 detects existing isolation. Step 1a defers to native tools.
-
-### Skipping detection
-
-- **Problem:** Creating a nested worktree inside an existing one
-- **Fix:** Always run Step 0 before creating anything
-
-### Skipping ignore verification
-
-- **Problem:** Worktree contents get tracked, pollute git status
-- **Fix:** Always use `git check-ignore` before creating project-local worktree
-
-### Assuming directory location
-
-- **Problem:** Creates inconsistency, violates project conventions
-- **Fix:** Follow priority: explicit instructions > existing project-local directory > default
-
-### Proceeding with failing tests
-
-- **Problem:** Can't distinguish new bugs from pre-existing issues
-- **Fix:** Report failures, get explicit permission to proceed
-
-## Red Flags
-
-**Never:**
-- Create a worktree when Step 0 detects existing isolation
-- Use `git worktree add` when you have a native worktree tool (e.g., `EnterWorktree`). This is the #1 mistake — if you have it, use it.
-- Skip Step 1a by jumping straight to Step 1b's git commands
-- Create worktree without verifying it's ignored (project-local)
-- Skip baseline test verification
-- Proceed with failing tests without asking
-
-**Always:**
-- Run Step 0 detection first
-- Prefer native tools over git fallback
-- Follow directory priority: explicit instructions > existing project-local directory > default
-- Verify directory is ignored for project-local
-- Auto-detect and run project setup
-- Verify clean test baseline
