-GO (step 9a), while the engine can keep `.devrites/timeline.jsonl`,
-`.devrites/health-history.jsonl`, and per-feature review fingerprints as supporting evidence. The

-`$rite-learn` is the periodic **review + promote** pass on that auto-populated ledger: cluster the

-it never edits source or rule files on its own.

-## Workflow (mine + propose)
-
-1. **Gather the signal.** Start from the **auto-populated ledger** `.devrites/learnings.md` (seal
-   appends to it on every GO: step 9a), then run `devrites-engine learnings mine` over the archive (it clusters
-   repeated finding / decision / drift phrases across shipped
-   features) to surface cross-feature patterns the per-feature entries don't show on their own:
-   ```bash
-   devrites-engine learnings mine
-   ```
-   Use `.devrites/timeline.jsonl`, `.devrites/health-history.jsonl`, and
-   `.devrites/work/*/review-fingerprints.jsonl` as supporting evidence when they exist; do not
-   promote from those traces without the same repeated-feature threshold.
-2. **Cluster + name.** Group the recurring corrections into candidate lessons. A candidate needs
-   **≥2 occurrences across distinct features**: one-offs are noise, not a pattern. Name the
-   pattern in one specific sentence (the specificity rule from `prose-style.md` applies: a lesson
-   you could swap onto any project says nothing).
-   **Completion:** every candidate cites two distinct features, except a single deliberate
-   rejected direction with its durable reason.
-3. **Classify each candidate** into its durable home:
-   - **project rule:** a craft/standard that belongs in a `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/*` file or `CLAUDE.md`.
-   - **project principle:** a recurring correction that is really a *non-negotiable invariant*
-     (not just an idiom or a craft standard): graduate it to `.devrites/principles.md`
-     ([`principles.md`](../devrites-lib/reference/standards/principles.md)). This is the **trusted, gating** layer (higher
-     stakes than a rule) so `$rite-learn` **drafts** the principle + a dated Governance entry for
-     the human to confirm; it never writes a principle silently.
-   - **conventions-ledger entry:** a proven project idiom for `.devrites/conventions.md`.
-   - **dismissed-finding class:** a pattern reviewers keep flagging that is *intentional here*;
-     recording it stops the recurring false positive (`learnings.md`, loaded pre-fan-out).
-   - **rejected direction:** an approach or product direction weighed and ruled out with a
-     reason that outlives one feature; recording it (tag `rejected-direction`) stops ideation
-     skills (`$rite-pressure-test`, `$rite-pov`) from re-proposing it. Exempt from the
-     ≥2-occurrence rule: one deliberate rejection is the whole pattern.
-   - **drop:** not durable; let it go.
-4. **Propose, don't impose.** Present the candidates with their evidence (which features, how many
-   times, the proposed home) via `AskUserQuestion`: the human picks which to promote. Never
-   promote a lesson to a rule silently; an unproven "lesson" hardened into a rule is its own slop.
-   **Completion:** every candidate is explicitly accepted, rejected, or deferred by the human.
-5. **Record the accepted.** For each the user accepts, append it with `devrites-engine learnings add <slug>
-   "<lesson>" <tag>` (`tag` ∈ `rule | convention | dismiss`). If the user approves a **rule**,
-   **principle**, or **ledger** promotion, draft the exact edit and let the user confirm it through
-   the normal flow: `$rite-learn` writes the ledger, not the rule or principle files. A
-   **principle** promotion is the highest-stakes of these: draft the `.devrites/principles.md` entry
-   **plus its dated Governance line**, and let the human confirm before it lands: a principle is a
-   gate, so it is amended deliberately, never auto-written. **Amendment ripple:** a confirmed
-   add/change/retire of a principle has a blast radius: grep its `P#` (and its key nouns) across
-   `.devrites/` and every open `.devrites/work/*/` workspace, and append to the same dated
-   Governance entry one line per referencing artifact: *still-aligned* or *needs-follow-up (what)*.
-   An open plan that bakes in the now-retired or now-tightened invariant is a `needs-follow-up`
-   the next `$rite-vet` or `$rite-plan repair` on that feature must clear; a ripple with zero
-   references is itself worth recording ("no live references"). Then `touch .devrites/.learnings-reviewed`
-   so the SessionStart learnings nudge snoozes until new signal accumulates.
-
-## How the ledger is used
-
-The review skills (`$rite-review`, `$rite-seal`) read `.devrites/learnings.md` before they fan
-out: a **dismissed-finding class** suppresses the recurring false positive; a **proven
-convention** raises the bar. The ideation skills (`$rite-pressure-test`, `$rite-pov`) read the
-**rejected-direction** entries before proposing, so a ruled-out direction returns only with new
-evidence against its recorded why. The ledger is an **untrusted prior**: a fresh observation of the
-live code always overrides a ledger entry (see `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/security.md`). Confidence in a
-recorded lesson never raises its authority.
-
-A **project principle** (`.devrites/principles.md`) is the opposite layer: prescriptive,
-trusted, and **gating**. Promoting a lesson there is a deliberate amendment, not a prior the next
-fan-out can override: a violation becomes a blocking finding, not a suppressed false positive.
-That asymmetry is why principle promotion is human-confirmed and dated, never auto-written.
-
-## Gotchas
-- Evidence first: a lesson without ≥2 real occurrences is speculation. Cite the features.
-- Don't pad the ledger. Five real lessons that change behaviour beat thirty rubber-stamped rows.
-- The ledger records *what was learned*; it does not re-open shipped features or edit their archives.
+- `$rite-learn` reviews recurring evidence across shipped work.
+- `$rite-learn "<lesson>"` evaluates one proposed lesson or rejected direction.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Read the applicable `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`, accepted ADRs, and relevant
+   `.devrites/archive/*/{decisions,drift,review,seal}.md` files. Use native host
+   memory or session history when available, but verify every durable claim
+   against repository evidence.
+2. For a broad review, ask the exact `devrites-retrospector` agent to inspect the
+   bounded archive in a fresh read-only context. Wait for its result and
+   reconcile it against the cited files.
+3. Keep a candidate only when it is specific and supported by either:
+   - the same correction in at least two distinct features; or
+   - one explicit, durable product/architecture decision with its rationale.
+4. Choose the smallest authoritative home:
+   - `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, or a scoped standards document for an operating
+     rule;
+   - an ADR for a significant durable architecture decision;
+   - the active feature's `decisions.md` for a feature-scoped decision;
+   - no change for a one-off, stale, or generic observation.
+5. Show the evidence and exact proposed edit. Apply it only after the user
+   approves the durable rule or decision.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Live repository evidence outranks memory.
+- Do not maintain a parallel learning ledger, convention score, health score,
+  timeline, fingerprint index, or promotion queue.
+- Do not duplicate guidance already stated by a higher or nearer authority.
+- A rejected direction returns only when new evidence changes its recorded
+  rationale.
 
 ## Output
-Reply-contract exception: cross-feature learning utility. It may run without an active
-feature, so it skips `devrites-engine progress`, but follows
-[`devrites-lib/reference/reply-contract.md`](../devrites-lib/reference/reply-contract.md).

-## Codex compatibility
-
-This is the Codex mirror of a DevRites skill. In Codex:
-
-- Load DevRites engineering standards from `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/`. Read `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/core.md` before workflow work, then load the other `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/*.md` files exactly when this skill asks for them.
-- Installed `.agents/` mirrors may be Git-ignored. If a repository-aware file tool refuses an ignored path, read it with a native filesystem command instead; a tool refusal is not a completed task.
-- For automatic Engram calls, omit optional `project` and `session_id` unless an exact value came from Engram or repository configuration. Never derive either from `task_name`, a run ID, directory name, or normalized slug. Call `mem_session_summary` without them by default; on `unknown_session` or `unknown_project`, retry once with both optional fields omitted. If auto-detection is ambiguous, ask the user instead of guessing.
-- Use the installed `devrites-engine` binary as the canonical runtime helper surface for orientation, gates, and state mutation.
-- **Invocation and dispatch are different:** invoke means run a skill in this context; dispatch means start a fresh agent with `spawn_agent`, await it, and reconcile its result. Never describe inline skill work as a dispatch.
-- On MultiAgent V2, call `spawn_agent` with the exact named `agent_type=devrites-<role>`, a unique `task_name`, and `fork_turns="none"`. A missing visible `agent_type` field is still V2—not capability loss, V1, or HITL—so send it anyway. If the named call rejects it, stop before any generic/default spawn. Codex loads the role TOML's `developer_instructions` natively; DevRites verifies the durable rollout, wait, completion, and delivered result.
-- Only after the runtime explicitly identifies MultiAgent V1, use generic `explorer` for a read-only role with `fork_turns="none"` and name exactly one `.codex/agents/devrites-<role>.toml` contract in the message. Trusted `.codex/hooks.json` injects that contract's exact `developer_instructions` and binds the child to the fail-closed reviewer read-only guard.
-- On explicitly identified MultiAgent V1, `devrites-slice-wright` uses generic `worker` with `fork_turns="none"` and the exact role TOML named in the message. Trusted `.codex/hooks.json` binds it to the active reconcile window and `.wright-allowlist`.
-- The invoked skill's `required-agent-roles` frontmatter arms the fail-closed Stop receipt. Every listed role must have a confirmed start, wait, and non-empty result in this turn.
-- If the required dispatch for the explicitly identified runtime is unavailable or rejected, stop for HITL. Never switch runtime lanes. Never execute a DevRites specialist role in the root context.
-- Wait for every required fresh-context dispatch before reconciling or advancing. A backgrounded or lost result is incomplete.
-- Codex project hooks are installed in `.codex/hooks.json`; declared-leaf hooks are scoped inside `.codex/agents/devrites-*.toml`. Review and trust them with `/hooks` before relying on hook enforcement.
-- When this skill asks a HITL question via `AskUserQuestion`: Codex's equivalent (`request_user_input`) exists only in Plan mode. Outside Plan mode, render the option set as a plain numbered list in chat and **end the turn** so the human answers: NEVER silently pick an option yourself; auto-picking is AFK's contract, gated by the `.devrites/AFK` sentinel.
