+# Recall
+
+Rebuild the user's recent working context, then verify the current state before continuing.
+
+1. Pin the current workspace, requested topic and time window (default seven days). If the user supplied a complete handoff, use it first. Resuming one named conversation routes to the Session pickup playbook; creating lasting preferences routes to automate-me.
+2. Use the DSH history interfaces described in DSH.md. Search before reading full conversations; keep the requested time range and workspace. When history tools are unavailable, use the current conversation, explicit export/handoff, Git history and task-local plans. Record unavailable history separately from an empty search; never inspect private journals or other workspaces to compensate.
+3. Search by topic first and order actual history by its recorded timestamps, not opaque session IDs. Exclude the current conversation and known subagent/test noise from a prior-work search unless requested. For a large corpus, delegate disjoint slices with self-contained briefs, bounded by current capacity. Ask for topic, goal, decisions, open threads, struggles/corrections and artifacts with exact session/event citations. Small corpora stay in the parent. The root schedules the later synthesis, not the children.
+4. For a named subsystem or bug, follow the sibling why workflow as reference to sweep the available shared sources. Use one source per investigator; unavailable MCP sources are stated gaps. Search only within the authorized scope.
+5. Recheck surfaced commits, files, branches, PRs and issues against live state. A previous agent's summary is historical evidence, not current truth.
+6. Lead with at most five capsule bullets, then one line per thread tagged `[merged #N]`, `[open PR #N]`, `[in flight <branch>]`, `[verified, uncommitted]`, `[reverted #N]` or `[planned, not started]`, using real IDs only. Follow with at most five recurring problems, including fixes that were reverted, and the single most useful concrete next action. Read and apply the sibling unslop workflow. Stay on topic, cite session/event IDs or the supplied artifact and sanitize private context before public output; do not invent a transcript path.

+# Reflect
+
+Review this conversation for recurring lessons and propose concrete improvements. One-offs and already-covered behavior do not need another rule.
+
+1. Use the current conversation and task evidence. When essential details were compacted, use DSH history tools or a user-provided export as described in DSH.md. Mark unavailable evidence; do not mine private host storage.
+2. Schedule three distinct review lenses: judgment (`references/judgment-reviewer.md`), tooling (`references/tooling-reviewer.md`), and divergent review (`references/divergent-reviewer.md`). Tooling uses the reflect tooling preference; the other lenses and synthesis use reflect judgment, divergent, synthesizer. Pass each complete template with the same scoped digest and evidence references to each DSH child. Children may read relevant exposed MCP sources but may not edit files. The root runs every phase; use sequential lenses when independent agents are unavailable and disclose it.
+3. After all three reviews finish, the root starts a separate synthesis delegate with `references/synthesizer.md` and every reviewer's full findings. It spot-verifies citations through exposed sources and returns Accepted / Rejected / Backlog with routing. Children do not spawn this phase. When independent delegation is unavailable, perform it in the root and disclose the limitation. Preserve the findings and verify accepted sources before applying anything.
+4. Reclassify every Accepted item before presenting the final lists. If a test, lint, metadata flag, script, type or runtime invariant can enforce it more reliably, move that entire item to Backlog with the proposed mechanism and remove it from Accepted. Do not keep the same structural proposal in both lists. Accepted is ready only when every remaining row needs a prose change that a mechanism cannot enforce.
+5. Show each proposed edit, its destination and evidence. Apply only edits within the user's explicit approval. Use an existing project/user Skill override or `.dsh/skills/<name>/`; treat bundled files as read-only. A new or substantive Skill uses the bundled authoring guide. Do not persist personal preferences or file external tickets merely because this review found them.
+6. Validate the touched frontmatter, relative references and affected procedure. Report applied paths, rejected items and the local backlog. Commit/push/PR follow the user's authorization and repository rules, not this Skill's existence.

+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 with the bundled DSH authoring guide:` 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 transcript. 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 project-local PStack role models and reasoning budgets for DSH, using only the host's available routes."
+---
+
+Read [DSH host operations](../../DSH.md) once before executing this workflow.
+
+
+# Set up PStack for DSH
+
+Record optional workflow preferences in `<workspace>/.dsh/pstack.md`. DSH owns model availability, permissions and capacity. Setup does not change host settings or global instructions.
+
+## 1. Discover available routes
+
+Use only tool descriptions/schemas already supplied in this conversation or a documented model-discovery tool actually exposed here. Record confirmed provider/model IDs, families and supported reasoning efforts. If that metadata is absent, stop discovery and use inheritance; filesystem investigation is not an alternative discovery interface. Do not inspect host source/install directories, profiles, configuration files, process environments or credentials to find models or hidden tool options. An MCP `dsh_models` route belongs to MCP task submission; it does not enable fields on a local `subagent` tool. When no per-call selection exists, offer `inherit-parent` and explain that the host's current model and effort apply. `auto` is an alias for inheritance, not a request for an undocumented automatic model. Never guess a route or a fast/standard field.
+
+## 2. Read current choices
+
+Read the project file if present. Keep custom model families, aliases, panel lists and unrelated notes. Show obsolete role keys separately before retiring them; do not remove unrelated settings. An earlier DSH file may contain generic code/judgment/exploration/verification/review keys or use budget for agent count. Show their values and resolve their intended role mappings rather than silently treating the old count as a reasoning budget. Missing preferences use inherited models and host-bounded scheduling.
+
+## 3. Choose reasoning budget and every role
+
+Offer the upstream budget choices, naming the recorded choice when known:
+
+| Budget | Target reasoning effort |
+|---|---|
+| unlimited | max |
+| large | xhigh |
+| medium | high |
+| small | medium |
+
+This budget controls reasoning effort, not candidate count or concurrency. With no previous choice, large is the upstream target; it is effective only if the actual route supports it. Preserve customized families, aliases and list lengths. For an explicit model route, select the same family's highest confirmed effort at or below the target; if none is confirmed, mark the role unresolved and ask for a supported choice. Keep inherited aliases unchanged. If effort is not selectable in this preset, report the target as unsupported and the effective effort as inherited; never substitute more agents to imitate a reasoning budget.
+
+Show all roles in the example below with their effective model/effort and any unsupported choice. For explicit routes, write a mapping with the exact confirmed provider/model IDs and an effort only when the current tool accepts it. Single-role values are aliases or confirmed route mappings. Panel values are lists of those same entries.
+
+One entry in arena runners, architect runners or interrogate reviewers means one independent participant, including duplicate inherited aliases. Preserve the list length and queue within host capacity. The arena cross-judge pool is ordered preference: pick one confirmed route from a different family than the parent, never an inherited alias. If none is usable, run an independent inherited-model judge and disclose the missing model diversity. Swarm workers supplies the default for each worker, unless a race explicitly chooses its arms. Parallelism is a separate scheduling limit, not a panel length.
+
+## 4. Validate and confirm
+
+Validate each explicit route and effort against the current tool's discovery and schema. A saved route that is no longer available needs a supported choice; do not silently claim it ran. Show every role, list length, requested versus effective effort, retired keys and the complete proposed file. Confirm only choices not already authorized. Aliases always mean omit model/effort fields and inherit the host.
+
+## 5. Write project preferences
+
+Write the owned preference block idempotently while preserving unrelated project notes. Use this complete default role map; customized explicit routes replace aliases only after validation:
+
+```yaml
+budget: large
+target-effort: xhigh
+parallelism: host
+roles:
+  feature, refactoring: inherit-parent
+  bug-fix: inherit-parent
+  perf-issue: inherit-parent
+  hillclimb: inherit-parent
+  judgment and prose: inherit-parent
+  hardest tasks: inherit-parent
+  how explorer: inherit-parent
+  how explainer: inherit-parent
+  why investigators: inherit-parent
+  why synthesizer: inherit-parent
+  reflect tooling: inherit-parent
+  reflect judgment, divergent, synthesizer: inherit-parent
+  arena runners: [inherit-parent, inherit-parent]
+  arena cross-judge pool: []
+  swarm workers: inherit-parent
+  architect runners: [inherit-parent, inherit-parent]
+  interrogate reviewers: [inherit-parent, inherit-parent]
+```
+
+## 6. Read back and report scope
+
+Read the saved file back and report requested and effective choices separately. PStack workflows explicitly read it at their next workflow/phase start, including in an existing conversation. It is not automatically loaded as a system rule, and it does not change an already-running child. Re-running setup updates the same project preferences.
+
+## 7. Offer real-app verification once
+
+Check for an existing verify-* Skill or real-app harness. If absent, offer the sibling [create-verification-skill](../create-verification-skill/SKILL.md) once. Run that workflow only on acceptance; otherwise continue.
+
+## 8. Offer formal verification once
+
+Check for an existing model-checking/proof Skill. If absent, offer the sibling [create-formal-verification-skill](../create-formal-verification-skill/SKILL.md) once. Run it only on acceptance. Missing external tools are reported with their setup requirements, not replaced with a simulated proof.

+
+## 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 (the **unslop** skill applies to log text too).
+
+Use the helper `scripts/log.sh <logfile> <phase> <decision> <why> <evidence> <result>`. 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 agent 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 (the **encode-lessons-in-structure** principle skill).
+
+## Audit the log against the transcript
+
+At the end of the run, audit this run's decision rows against the actual public DSH tool events, current conversation, or supplied export. Follow DSH.md for history access. If the event record is unavailable, retain the log but label the unaudited span instead of guessing. Each span starts at this run's start row (or the first row if it created the log) and ends at the next different run's start row. Check each span:
+
+- 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, request an independent read-only review of the trail and available public run evidence. Prefer an actual allowed route from another family; otherwise use an independent inherited-model reviewer and label it same-model. If delegation or event evidence is unavailable, state the precise gap; self-review does not count as an independent review. Keep the risk scan below and report its real evidence coverage.
+
+- 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 handoff for a run with a trail includes an Attention section naming the actual reviewer route when known (otherwise inherited model, identity unavailable), whether it was independent/cross-model, and flags with row/event references. Say no flags only for the evidence actually reviewed. Name any review or history gap instead of inventing a reviewer identity.
+
+## 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.

+disable-model-invocation: true
+---
+
+Read [DSH host operations](../../DSH.md) once before executing this workflow.
+
+
+# Statechart
+
+The chart shows how a system moves between states, in the words of the person who reads it. That person, the reader, decides whether the behavior is right.
+
+## Run
+
+Work in a scratch folder outside the repo. Write a TLA+ spec and its config. Then run:
+
+```sh
+<skill dir>/scripts/statechart SPEC.tla [--config FILE] [--view FILE] [--out DIR]
+```
+
+`scripts/statechart.ts` is TypeScript, so run it with a runtime that can execute TypeScript.
+
+The first run installs TLC and Java with mise and needs the network.
+
+## Write the spec
+
+- Write each rule that the reader agrees to as an INVARIANT. A rule can be about a screen, a result, a stored value, or a message. If the model has no variable for a rule, add the variable. Never weaken a rule to make it hold.
+- Write `Next` as a disjunction of the actions, such as `YouPressPlay \/ YouPressStop`. If you do not, TLC names every step `Next`.
+- A state with no step out breaks `NoDeadlock`, also when it is a correct end state. When an INVARIANT or a PROPERTY already has that name, the rule is `CHECK_DEADLOCK`. Add to `Next` an action that is true only in the end states and changes nothing, such as `Done == phase \in {"paid", "failed"} /\ UNCHANGED vars`, and give it a label in `step()`.
+
+## Pick the chart
+
+You do the work that needs judgment: the words on each state and arrow, the phases and their colors, the title, and the report to the reader. Put your work in a view module, and give it with `--view`.
+
+To show the reader's words, the view exports `state(vars)`. The value that `state()` returns picks the form:
+
+- A string gives a flat chart: `export const state = (v) => (v.paid ? "Paid" : "Paying");`
+- An array gives parent states: `export const state = (v) => v.main.split(".");`
+- An object gives one parallel region for each key: `export const state = (v) => ({ Playback: v.playback, Volume: v.volume });`
+
+Label each state with what the reader can see or cares about, such as "Paying" or "Lease held, write pending". Keep variable names out of labels. In `vars`, a TLA+ sequence is an object with keys from 1, so `v.pc[1]` is `pc[1]`. A set is an array.
+
+The view can also export `step(action, from, to)`. It gets the TLC action name and the values before and after the step, and it returns the label of the arrow. Write each step label as the user sees it happen, such as "you press play" or "the connect fails". Do not name the code or the TLA+ action. Two actions that end the same in the chart get the same label, so that they share one arrow.
+
+When a step can occur only in some conditions, end its label with the condition in brackets, in the reader's words, such as `you press play [while the file loads]`. In a regions chart, the command writes the condition on the other regions on the arrow, in the words of their labels, such as `[when Offline]`. Your brackets replace it, and two arrows from one state can then look the same. So in a regions chart, do not write brackets for a condition on another region. When a value that no label shows decides where a step goes, name the result in the label, such as "the roster read fails".
+
+The view can also export these:
+
+- `group(vars)` returns the name of a phase. Each chart state gets the color of its group. When the model states behind one chart state are in different groups, that state gets no color.
+- `colors` gives each group name a color class.
+- `title` is a string that the chart shows at the top.
+
+The command calls `state()` and `group()` at most once for each model state, and `step()` at most once for each step. The chart and the report both use those answers. So make each function depend only on its arguments.
+
+The chart does not draw a step that stays in one label. Split a label when the reader must see such a step.
+
+Aim for about 20 arrows or fewer, because a busier chart is hard to read. First return coarser labels from `state()`. Give one label to values that act the same, and leave out a detail that the reader does not need, such as a call in flight whose return changes nothing. Keep each state of a bug path, and keep each mark. When a merge changes a `breaks` state to `mayBreak`, it hides where a rule breaks. Do not merge two states that break different rules, because the reader then cannot see which rule breaks where. If the chart is still too busy, return `null` from `step()` for the steps that the reader does not need, such as a reset that every state has, or a step whose arrow repeats what other arrows show. Obey these rules when you hide steps:
+
+- Keep each chart state reachable by arrows from a start state.
+- Keep at least one arrow out of each chart state that has a step out in the model.
+- Hide all the steps of an arrow, or none of them. When you hide only some, its condition gets narrower.
+- In the hand-off, say which steps the chart hides.
+
+## Read the report
+
+- In the chart, a state that breaks a rule has the class `breaks`. When only some model states behind it break the rule, it has the class `mayBreak`. The Legend names the rules of each mark. When two rules break, it names both on one mark, so say in the hand-off which state breaks which rule. In a regions chart, a state gets a mark when each combination of region states that includes it can break a rule. When a combination can break a rule and none of its states has a mark, each state in that combination gets a mark.
+- TLC goes past a state that breaks a rule, so the chart shows the states after a bug.
+- Because TLC goes past bugs, a model with no limit on its states can run without end. Keep the constants small, or add a CONSTRAINT.
+- With a VIEW or a SYMMETRY, TLC counts states that it treats as the same as one state, and the chart draws that one state. An arrow can lead to it rather than to the state that the step reaches, and the report says so.
+- TLC checks the rules in each state past a CONSTRAINT or an ACTION_CONSTRAINT, but it does not explore that state or check it for deadlock. When TLC's shortest path for a rule ends in such a state, the chart draws that state, and the report gives that path. The chart does not draw the other states past the bound. A deadlock in such a state does not show. TLC also checks the rules after each step that an ACTION_CONSTRAINT excludes, also when it reaches the next state another way. When TLC's shortest path for a rule ends with such a step, the chart draws that step.
+- The command checks the rules with TLC on the config as written, with one worker. When a rule breaks, the command removes that rule and runs TLC again, until no rule breaks. After the first break, each run stops at 100,000 distinct states, so that a large model does not run without end. When a run reaches that bound or stops on an error, the report lists the rules that it did not check under "Rules not checked", and the chart does not mark them. A rule that is not checked can hold or break. To check it, remove the rules that break from the config, or make the model smaller. The bound adds a module that changes TLC's order of the variables, so for a property TLC can find a different counterexample than a run without the bound.
+- `tlc.out` is what TLC printed on the config as written. When the chart does not show the bug path of a rule that breaks, `tlc-RULE.out` is what TLC printed for the run that found it. When TLC repeats its first warning, plain TLC prints it twice, but `tlc.out` shows it once, because TLC leaves the second copy out of the output that this command reads. That happens only when Java runs with `-XX:+UseParallelGC`, since otherwise TLC's first warning is its advice to pass that flag, which it prints once.
+
+## Show the chart
+
+Show `chart.mmd` to the user as a `mermaid` code block. The chart has a budget of 500 states, counted by TLC on the config as written. Above that, the chart draws only the paths to the rules that break, and when no rule breaks, the command writes no `chart.mmd`. It still checks each rule, and the report gives the state count and each bug path. To see the whole graph, make the model smaller.
+
+Render charts with Pele. When the user asks for an image, or a chart is too large to read as text, follow `references/render.md`. Do not use a different renderer unless the user asks for it.
+
+## Hand off
+
+Give each chart and its Mermaid text to the person who must decide. Add one line for each bug: the rule, the reader's sentence for that rule, and the path as the report numbers it. Say what the model leaves out. Give the command that makes the files again, with a new `--out` folder.
+
+When the model describes code, replay each bug path against the real code, as a test or a live repro, one step for each action. If a bug does not occur, think that the model is wrong until you show that it is not.
