+Apply each criterion to every finding:
+
+- Durability: still true in 6 months once paths, SHAs, tool versions, and code shapes have changed.
+- Specificity: broad enough to apply across tasks, precise enough that a future agent recognizes when to use it. Reject vague platitudes ("write good code") and hyper-specific facts ("`<specific-skill-name>` has 175 tokens at limit 80").
+- Existing-skill-first: propose `new skill via the authoring playbook:` only when no existing skill is a real home, the pattern recurs, and the topic deserves its own skill.
+- Convergence: findings echoed by 2+ reviewers carry higher confidence. Singletons must clear a higher bar on the other criteria.
+- Decision-changing: a future agent does something different because of the edit, not just reads more text.
+- Structural-mechanism check: route to Backlog when a lint rule, script, metadata flag, or runtime check already enforces the rule or could enforce it cheaply. Skill prose is for things mechanisms cannot enforce.
+- Skill-was-used: accept only findings that route to a skill, tool, or MCP the parent invoked in the raw event log. If the skill wasn't used but should have been, route to `tune description: <skill path>`. If neither, reject as `skill-not-used`.
+- Already-covered: read the target skill before accepting any body-edit row. If the proposal duplicates clear, well-placed existing guidance, reject as `already-covered`, because the issue is execution, not the skill. If the existing guidance is buried, weak, or easy to skip past, accept the row but reframe the proposal as a wording / placement improvement that makes it fire (not a duplicate addition).

+- "linter at SHA `bd91aa7` uses chars/4 heuristic"
+- "`<specific-skill-name>` has 175 tokens at limit 80"
+- "Bugbot flagged regex backtracking on May 2"
+- "we renamed `gpt-4` to `gpt-4o` in `encodingForModel`"

+description: Configure which models pstack uses per role and at what reasoning budget. Detects the child model routes this deployment serves and writes `$DSH_HOME/pstack-models.md`, which overrides the skill defaults. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", "pstack budget", or changing pstack's model choices.
+---
+
+# Setup pstack
+
+> DSH port of pstack. `pstack_subagent` replaces Cursor's Task tool, and `role` replaces Cursor model slugs. Full mapping: `../../docs/harness/dsh.md`.
+
+Write `$DSH_HOME/pstack-models.md`, the role file `pstack_subagent` re-reads on every delegation and that sets pstack's model per role.
+
+That file is the only thing this skill writes. It never touches `package.json`, `cordis.patch.yml`, a native default model, or a credential.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Detect available models
+
+Call `list_subagent_models()` with no arguments to list the LLM providers this deployment serves. Call `list_subagent_models({ provider })` to list that provider's models, then `list_subagent_models({ provider, model })` to list the reasoning efforts that exact model supports.
+
+That adapter metadata is the only dependable source. This deployment decides which routes exist, and only the model's own advertised effort list says whether `max`, `xhigh`, `high`, or `medium` is available. Do not infer an effort ladder from a model id.
+
+When `list_subagent_models` is not available in this session, do not invent a route. Either ask the user for a `provider/model` pair they have already confirmed, or write `inherit-parent` for every role and say plainly that the choices are unverified. Never hardcode a model id, never ask for an API key, and never claim a route works because it looks plausible. `inherit-parent` and `auto` always work because they send no route at all.
+
+### 2. Load current state
+
+The role list and the shape of a value come from this package's `../../docs/pstack-models.example.md`. Read that file. It is generated from the role manifest, so it is the list: do not re-derive role names from memory and never add a role the manifest does not name.
+
+If `$DSH_HOME/pstack-models.md` already exists, read it and treat its `# budget` line and its role values as the current choices, and keep every role the user changed by hand. Otherwise start from the example's `inherit-parent` values. A line whose role is not in the example, such as `how critics`, is from a retired role: list it for the user as retired, then drop it.
+
+### 3. Budget, map, and confirm
+
+**(a) Ask for a budget.** Prefer `ask_user_question` over free text. Offer these four options with these exact labels, and name the current budget when the file records one. With no file, say that no budget is recorded yet and that every role currently inherits the parent route.
+
+- `unlimited — max reasoning`
+- `large — xhigh reasoning`
+- `medium — high reasoning`
+- `small — medium reasoning`
+
+**(b) Apply it.** Keep the route of every role the user set by family, list, or alias (`inherit-parent`, `auto`). Only the effort of a role that already names a route follows the budget. `unlimited`, `large`, `medium`, and `small` target `max`, `xhigh`, `high`, and `medium`.
+
+Apply a target only when that model's own `list_subagent_models({ provider, model })` list contains it. When it does not, use the highest effort at or below the target that the model does advertise, and say which role moved. When nothing at or below the target is advertised, mark the role as needing a choice instead of writing an effort the adapter would reject. `inherit-parent` and `auto` never change, because they carry no effort.
+
+**(c) Show the roles and confirm.** Show every role with its route, marking any route that does not resolve on this deployment as needing a choice. Also list each line step 2 dropped as retired. Ask whether to accept as-is or change specific roles, offering the confirmed routes plus `inherit-parent` and `auto`, which both mean this role runs on the parent chat model. Prefer `ask_user_question` over free text.
+
+For the panel roles (`arena runners`, `architect runners`, `interrogate reviewers`) the value is a list, and `pstack_subagent` starts one child per entry, alias entries included, so the list length sets the count. `arena cross-judge pool` is also a list, but `pstack_subagent` starts one child from it, chosen with `roleIndex`. `swarm workers` is a list as well: its first entry is the default route for every worker, a race passes `roleIndex` to give different arms different entries, and the caller still starts each worker itself. Two entries on the same route are not a cross-model panel; say so instead of implying model diversity.
+
+### 4. Validate
+
+Every route written must be one this deployment serves, and every effort must appear in that exact model's advertised list. `inherit-parent` and `auto` always pass. If a chosen route does not resolve, stop and ask again rather than writing it and hoping the first delegation catches it. Remember that the effort you write is the level that role *starts* at: a caller may raise or lower it per delegation with `reasoningEffort`, and a running child may change its own, so a role line that names a modest level is not a mistake to correct.
+
+### 5. Write the file
+
+Read the old `$DSH_HOME/pstack-models.md` first, keep the user's own edits, name the retired roles you dropped, and confirm before overwriting. Then write the complete file in one pass, so a re-run of this skill produces the same bytes and converges: a `# budget` line naming the chosen label and its target effort, and one line per role, using the exact role keys from the example.
+
+Read `../../docs/pstack-models.example.md` from this package and write the same shape to `$DSH_HOME/pstack-models.md`, replacing each `inherit-parent` with the route the user confirmed. Do not retype the role keys from this skill: the example is generated from the role manifest, and a hand-written copy would drift from the parser.
+
+### 6. Confirm
+
+Tell the user the file was written and that it applies to the next delegation, because `pstack_subagent` re-reads it every time. A child that already started keeps the route it started with. Re-running this skill updates the file.
+
+### 7. Offer a verification skill (optional)
+
+Check whether the project has a way to drive the real app for proof (a `verify-*` skill, or an existing harness). If not, offer once: "want a project-local verification skill, so agents can drive the app the way a user does and prove changes work? I can generate one with /create-verification-skill." On yes, invoke `/create-verification-skill` (its `SKILL.md` is in this package's skill resources). On no, move on without pushing.
+
+### 8. Offer a formal verification skill (optional)
+
+Check whether the project already has a formal verification skill (a project skill that runs a model checker, a proof, or another verifier against the code). If not, offer once: "want a formal verification skill, so agents can prove a key property of your code holds in every case in scope, not only the cases tests reach? I can generate one with /create-formal-verification-skill." On yes, invoke `/create-formal-verification-skill` (its `SKILL.md` is in this package's skill resources). On no, move on without pushing.

+- **why.** The reason in plain words. If a principle drove it, say it plainly, not as a jargon tag.

+## Logging a row
+
+Write each entry the way you'd tell a teammate what you did. Plain words, concrete actions, no AI speak or abstract jargon (apply `unslop` to log text too; read its `SKILL.md` at its absolute resource path).
+
+Use the helper `scripts/log.mjs <logfile> <phase> <decision> <why> <evidence> <result>`; run it through `pstack_script` with `id: "log"`, which needs no `node` on PATH. It stamps `ts`, writes the header on first use, strips stray tabs/newlines, and prefixes any cell starting with `=`, `+`, `-`, or `@` with a single quote. A bare `printf` appending a row works too, but mind those same bytes if cells come from generated or user-supplied text.
+
+Log decision points and checkpoints, not every action: a fork chosen, a unit completed with its verification result, a pivot or revert with its trigger, a blocker surfaced, a gate fixed. For loop runs, one row per iteration. Skip the trivial and self-evident.
+
+A run is one agent conversation, including its later turns and any summary of it. A pickup, a replacement agent, or a new chat starts a new run. When a run adds to a log that already has rows, its first row has phase `start`, and so does its first row after another run's `start` row. So a run that comes back to a log in a later turn first reads the log's last rows to see whether another run wrote since. A `start` row names the `ts` range of the rows before it that this run did not write, and its evidence names this run, such as its session id. Use phase `start` for nothing else.
+
+## Where it lives
+
+By default the log is a working artifact, not committed. Keep it at `decisions.tsv` in the work dir, or `.audit/<task-slug>.tsv` when several efforts run at once, and leave it out of git.
+
+Commit it only when the work is ambitious enough that a reviewer needs the trail to trust the result.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Append-only. A wrong call gets a new row that supersedes it. Never edit or delete history.
+- Prefer evidence produced by committed scripts over hand-made one-offs, per `principle-encode-lessons-in-structure`; read its `SKILL.md` at its absolute resource path.
+
+## Audit the log against the run's events
+
+At the end of the run, before handing back, check the log told the truth. Read this run's raw events through `pstack_history` (`scope: "current"`), paging with `fromSeq` and `nextFromSeq` and pinning `throughSeq` so later turns cannot join the basis. Don't read the session store directory or glob across workspaces: that reads unrelated private sessions. If the read is `denied` or `unavailable`, say which layer failed and mark this audit unfinished rather than certifying the log. Walk this run's rows against what actually happened. Each stretch of them begins at one of this run's `start` rows, or at the first row if this run created the log, and ends at the next `start` row of another run:
+
+- Check that every row maps to a real decision or action.
+- Check that each row's evidence resolves and shows what the row claims.
+- A fork, pivot, or abandoned approach that shaped the work but isn't logged is a gap. Add it.
+
+Correct the log, not the story. The audit never edits or removes a row, even an invented one. When a row records neither a real decision nor a real action, or its claim or evidence is wrong, add a row that supersedes it with what actually happened and a pointer that resolves. This audit does not check rows outside this run's stretches. If this run's own work shows one of them is wrong, supersede it like any wrong call.
+
+## Cross-model review of the trail
+
+Before handing back, start a `pstack_subagent` on a role configured to a different provider or model family from the one that did the work. Self-review is not a substitute. Brief it with the audit trail and the raw events you paged, because it cannot read this run's log on its own. It flags what the user should pay attention to: not a redo of the work, a scan for what's suboptimal or risky. When no other family is configured, write `reviewed by <the route that actually ran>` and state that this was same-model review instead of claiming independence. Pick that subagent's role per the Subagents section of `poteto-mode`; read its `SKILL.md` at its absolute resource path. Start from the level the role line names, raise it for hard work and lower it for routine work by passing `reasoningEffort`; a child that cannot call `set_reasoning_effort` keeps the level you gave it.
+
+- Decisions logged with weak or absent evidence.
+- Verification steps skipped or claimed without proof in the transcript.
+- Choices that look risky in hindsight (premature, scope-creeping, papering over a symptom).
+- Gaps the user would otherwise miss on a casual skim.
+
+Every reply for a run that produced a trail ends with an "Attention" section. Lead with the reviewer's model on its own line (`reviewed by <model>`), then list each flag pointing to specific rows or moments. "No flags" is a valid value. The model name is not.
+
+## Reviewing the trail
+
+Read top to bottom, follow the evidence pointers, spot-check. GitHub renders a committed TSV as a table. `column -s$'\t' -t decisions.tsv` renders it in a terminal.
+
+## Composing this skill
+
+Other skills route their audit trail here instead of inventing one. Reference it by name and let it own the format. Don't restate the columns.

+
+# Swarm
+
+> DSH port of pstack. `pstack_subagent` replaces Cursor's Task tool, and `role` replaces Cursor model slugs. Full mapping: `../../docs/harness/dsh.md`.
+
+## Start
+
+Open a `todo_write` list with one entry per phase before launching anything.
+
+1. Frame
+2. Fan out
+3. Aggregate
+4. Report
+
+## Phase A: Frame
+
+1. State the done predicate and the artifact or report the swarm must return.
+2. Choose the shape. Partition into slices, race N workers on identical briefs, or mix both. For a race or mixed shape, declare `first pass`, `rank all`, or `best-of` before spawning.
+4. Pick the worker route. Use `role: "swarm workers"` for every worker: that role is a list, not a panel, so you start each worker yourself with one `pstack_subagent` call each. A role the file does not name inherits the parent route. Never invent a model id. Without `roleIndex` the tool takes the first entry, which is the default route for every worker. For a model race, keep `role: "swarm workers"` and pass a different `roleIndex` per arm, so this call's result carries that arm's actual route instead of leaving it implied. The tool reports the entry and route this call selected; it cannot compare separate calls, so when two arms land on the same entry you must say in your synthesis that they share one route and that this is not a cross-model race. Read the Subagents section of the `poteto-mode` skill at its absolute resource path first. Start from the level the role line names, raise it for hard work and lower it for routine work by passing `reasoningEffort`; a child that cannot call `set_reasoning_effort` keeps the level you gave it.
+5. Give each worker its own writable output when it writes: the worker calls `create_worktree({ name })` in its own Session, or you create the checkouts one at a time and pass each absolute `path` as that worker's `cwd`. Two workers in one checkout are not isolated, and the parallel writes will collide on shared files. When workers verify or measure commits, each brief names the exact SHAs. A measurement brief also names the method (sample count, what one sample is, order). The worker records both in its result.
+
+## Phase B: Fan out
+
+Start all N workers in one batch of `pstack_subagent` calls with `agent: "general"` and the step 4 role. A worker is a managed activation, so there is no background flag and nothing polls: each result arrives as a completion notice. Every worker runs locally as a child of this Session; there is no cloud environment, no VM, and no per-arm machine.
+
+When a worker must start from a branch other than the current one, make that branch reachable locally and start the checkout from it: the worker calls `create_worktree({ name, from })` with a local revision, or you create the checkout yourself and pass its absolute `path` as the worker's `cwd`. Creation does not fetch, so a branch that only exists on a remote has to be fetched first; a missing local revision fails instead of silently branching off the current commit.
+
+Every brief stands alone. Include the goal, scope, exact slice or race arm, how to verify, and what to report. Reports use `PASS`, `ISSUES`, or `BLOCKED` with evidence. A worker that can prove a defect reports `ISSUES` and lists every issue it can prove, not only the first.
+
+If a worker drops out, proceed with N-1 and note it.
+
+## Phase C: Aggregate
+
+Read the terminal results. Drop a result that does not record the SHAs and method its brief names, and respawn that worker once. After a second miss, record a gap. A gap does not count as a pass. For coverage, every required slice needs a result. For a race, apply the selection rule declared up front. Use first pass, rank all, or best-of. Do not paste raw worker dumps.
+
+## Phase D: Report
+
+Return one consolidated in-chat report with the table, issue one-liners, gaps or dropouts, and the race rule when used.

+description: Use only when the user explicitly asks for TDD, a failing test, or a regression test, OR when the bug has an obvious cheap local test target. Skip when the test path is unclear, expensive, integration-heavy, or not requested.
+disable-model-invocation: true
+---
+
+# TDD Bug Fix
+
+When fixing a bug with a clear, cheap test path, make the broken behavior executable before changing production code. The goal is a focused regression test that fails before the fix and passes after it.
+
+Do not force a test when it would be impractical. If the available test would require broad harness setup, brittle mocks, slow end-to-end infrastructure, production-only state, vague reproduction steps, or large unrelated fixture churn, skip adding a new test and use the closest useful verification instead.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Understand the bug.** Identify the intended behavior, current behavior, affected path, and smallest observable reproduction.
+2. **Choose the narrowest executable check.** Prefer the closest unit, component, integration, or regression test already used for that codepath. If no practical test path is obvious, do not create one from scratch just to satisfy the workflow.
+3. **Write the failing test first.** Add the smallest focused test that would have caught the bug. The test should encode intended behavior, not mirror the current implementation.
+4. **Run the new test before fixing.** Confirm it fails for the intended reason. If it passes or fails for an unrelated reason, correct the test or reproduction before editing the implementation.
+5. **Fix the bug.** Make the smallest production change that satisfies the intended behavior while preserving nearby contracts.
+6. **Rerun the regression test.** Confirm the test now passes.
+
+## If a Failing Test Is Impractical
+
+Use the closest executable regression check instead: a targeted script, manual reproduction command, browser automation, snapshot comparison, log assertion, or focused integration check.
+
+Prefer no new test over a bad test. A bad test is one that mostly tests mocks, encodes current implementation details, depends on timing or unrelated global state, needs expensive infrastructure for a small fix, or would be deleted immediately after proving the fix.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Do not change tests merely to match a wrong implementation.
+- Do not weaken existing assertions unless the expected behavior has genuinely changed and the reason is clear.
+- Keep the regression test focused on the bug. Avoid broad fixture churn or unrelated coverage expansion.
+- If the bug is flaky, make the test deterministic where possible and document the signal being locked down.
+- If the bug exposes a broader class of failures, first land the focused regression path, then consider additional sibling coverage.
+
+## Final Response
+
+Report the evidence, not just the outcome:
+
+- Name the failing-before test or executable check and the failure it produced.
+- Name the passing-after test run and any nearby validation performed.
+- If failing-before evidence could not be demonstrated, state why and describe the closest regression check used instead.

+description: Explain a body of work plainly so a person actually understands it. Runs the `how` and `why` skills and weaves what they find into one clear explanation. Use for 'teach me this', 'help me really understand X', 'explain this change or subsystem to me'.

+
+# Teach
+
+> DSH port of pstack. `pstack_subagent` replaces Cursor's Task tool, and `role` replaces Cursor model slugs. Full mapping: `../../docs/harness/dsh.md`.
+
+**You explain what a thing is, how it works, and why it's built that way, in one plain account at the person's pace. The goal is that they understand it, not that you change anything.**
+
+Teach sits on top of `how` and `why`. Get your bearings on what the work is and what it touches, then run `how` for how it works and `why` for why it's that way. Those are real skill invocations that do their own digging. Blend what they find into one plain explanation, lead with what matters to the person, and go deeper when they ask. Reword freely for teaching, with one exception. Keep `why`'s confidence language intact (its hedges are findings, not style).
+
+1. Decide the few things they should walk away understanding. Choose them from why they're asking (about to change it, reviewing it, debugging it, new to it) and what they already know, both read from the conversation, not quizzed out of them. Skip what they plainly already know. Put the depth where their question is.
+2. Let `how` and `why` do the work, don't redo it. Read the code yourself to get oriented, then run `how` for how it works and `why` for why. Run them in parallel and combine the results. Match the size to the question. Run both for a subsystem, maybe one is enough for a small change. Keep `why` narrow by default since its full sweep is slow. Put the narrowing in the ask itself (a scoped question, git plus a source or two) so `why` records the skipped categories per its own contract, and widen it only when the reasons are the point.
+3. Start with a plain definition. Name the thing and say what it is in general terms, the way a senior engineer would say it out loud, with its common name if it has one. Then tie it to the case in front of you ("in X, we use this to ...") and build from there: how it works, the deeper reasons, the edge cases. For each part, explain the idea so it clicks: the problem it solves and how it actually works. Walk through what happens as the person does the thing (opens a long chat, scrolls up) when that is what makes it land. Listing functions and constants is reference, not teaching. Don't print framing labels ("the one idea to hold onto", "the thing to walk away with", "the key insight", "at its core", "TL;DR"). Give the smallest complete answer first, a sentence or two, not a dense paragraph, then stop. Add layers when they ask. Never a wall of text.
+4. Keep it a conversation, not a lecture or a performance. Offer to go deeper or move on, and follow their lead. No quizzes. No pacing theater. Don't print "Pause", don't ask them to say it back, don't announce "the sentence to nail", and don't flag a part as important or hard ("here is the part worth slowing down on", "this is the tricky part", "here is where it gets interesting"). Just say it. When you would pause, stop and let them respond. Running one-shot with no live human, deliver it cleanly and put any offer to go deeper at the end.
+5. Show, don't only tell, and build the picture up diagram by diagram. Open the diff, the code, or the debugger when that is the fastest way to land it. Draw when a picture lands faster than words. For anything with three or more moving parts, do not draw one diagram with all of them at once. Draw a short series instead, where each diagram redraws the last and adds a single part, so the reader watches the system assemble. A single all-at-once diagram, especially one saved for the end, is a reference, not teaching. Concretely, to teach a flow from A to B to C, draw it three times. First A to B. Then redraw and add C. Then redraw and add the return edge or the next piece. Match the medium to the idea, and use both kinds when both help. A mermaid diagram fits a flow or structure where the labels carry the meaning. When the idea is spatial, like layout, overlap, scroll position, or a before and after, reach for the image-generation tool and draw it marker-on-whiteboard style with a few short labels, since image models garble long text. Generate that picture, don't settle for describing it in words. The build-up rule holds for generated images too. A single simple point needs no figure.
+
+Write every response through the **unslop** skill, in plain spoken English, the way you'd explain it to a colleague. Be tight, not terse. Cut filler and hedging, keep the part that makes it click. State the concrete mechanism, not a metaphor, a framing, or a preview of what is coming. This is the target density: "Virtualization runs in two parts, one for rendering and one for loading from disk. When an item scrolls out past the buffer, both its DOM node and its in-memory data are evicted." Normal sentence case, not all-lowercase. No em dashes. Prefer periods over commas. Keep each sentence to one or two commas. If clauses pile up, split them into separate sentences. Give each concept one name and keep it. Avoid mirror sentences ("A without B, or B without A") and tidy closers ("the rest follows", "it all falls out"). The words in these steps are directions to you, not labels to print. Don't echo the structure as headers or stock phrases.
+
+**Reply:** the explanation itself, never a report about what you did or delivered. Lead with the main point, then the plain account of what it is, how it works, and why, and the threads worth chasing with `how` or `why`.
