 ## Procedure
 1. **Locate.** Run `geneseed status --json` first: `installs` lists every install on this machine — host, scope, root, state, theme, footprint, posture, mode, packs, excluded rules — and `rebuild`, the command that reproduces each one exactly. `geneseed` not on PATH → ask the user before using `npx geneseed` (it downloads the package), and prefix every command below the same way. Still nothing → look for a host root file: `~/.config/opencode/AGENT.md` or `.opencode/AGENT.md` (OpenCode), `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `.claude/` (Claude Code), `.openclaude/` (OpenClaude), `AGENTS.md` beside `.bob/` (Bob). None → say so; never install to "fix" it.

 5. **Other writes also need the user's word:** `geneseed memory rm <name>`, `geneseed exclude add|remove <path>`, `geneseed web start|stop`, `geneseed uninstall --target <root> --yes`. Personal rules and the profile belong to their own {{SKILLS}}; do not edit `user-rules.md` or `PROFILE.md` from here.
 6. **Never on your own initiative:** `geneseed setup` (interactive only), `geneseed upgrade`, `geneseed update`, `geneseed bootstrap`, `geneseed sync-self`, `geneseed rebuild-all`, `geneseed migrate`, `geneseed link`, `geneseed unlink`. `learn`, `context` and the `*-gate` verbs are `geneseed-hook` verbs the host's hooks run — never run them by hand.
 7. Directory and section names are plain English in every theme; only prose changes. Do not search by flavour words.
+8. **Custom OpenCode colour theme** (a different concept from the `--theme` package name in step 4 — that one changes the agent's *voice*, this one its terminal colours): clone a shipped palette (`catppuccin tokyonight rosepine gruvbox nord everforest kanagawa dracula`) or derive one from a described vibe, filling all 19 roles in `themes/opencode/README.md` (`bg bgPanel bgElement fg fgMuted accent secondary border ok warn err kw str fn num type comment addBg delBg`) as `#rrggbb` hex. Keep `fg` on `bg` readable (~7:1), `error` red-family, `warning` amber, `success` green, and `addBg`/`delBg` distinct from each other and the background. Write the overrides to a small JSON (`{role: "#hex", …}` or `{"palette": {…}}`) and run `geneseed theme <name> --from <shipped> --palette <file.json>` — either flag alone works, both together lets the palette override the cloned base; `--solid-only`/`--transparent-only` for one flavour, `--global` to force the global dir from inside a repo. Tell the user to select it with `/theme geneseed-<name>` (opaque) or `/theme geneseed-<name>-transparent` (terminal background shows through) — a rebuild never erases it.
 
 ## Done when
 - The answer comes from the live install — CLI output or file paths, not recall — or the requested change was rebuilt with every other setting preserved and `geneseed status` shows it.

+# {{SKILL}}: git-history
+
+> {{DESC_GIT_HISTORY}}
+<!-- aliases: git-archaeology, git-rescue -->
+
+**Trigger:** something must be learned *from* the git history, or it needs repair.
+Learn: when a regression came in, who last touched a line and why, where a symbol or
+string entered. Repair: lost commits, a rebase/merge/reset gone wrong, a detached HEAD, a
+half-finished operation, work stranded in a stash, a conflict to resolve, or a
+deliberate rewrite (interactive rebase, squash, amend). Pick the part first: Part A
+never changes history; Part B does. To write a new commit, use the
+[commit {{SKILL}}](commit.md).
+
+## Procedure
+
+### Part A — Investigate (read-only)
+1. State the question before touching git: *when did it break*, *why does this code
+   exist*, or *where did this come from*. The question picks the lens.
+2. **When did it break** → `git bisect start <bad> <good>`; drive it with
+   `git bisect run <cmd>` when the test is scriptable (non-zero exit marks bad),
+   otherwise mark each step by hand. Read the actual output at every step; never
+   assume a result ({{LAW:verify-before-asserting}}).
+3. **Why / who** → `git blame -w -C <file>` (ignore whitespace, follow moved code) to
+   reach the introducing commit, then `git show <sha>` for its message and diff.
+4. **Where did it come from** → the pickaxe: `git log -S'<string>'` (count changed),
+   `git log -G'<regex>'` (matching lines changed), or `git log -p -- <path>`.
+5. Read the evidence end to end — the first matching commit is not always the cause;
+   corroborate across lenses when the answer is consequential
+   ({{LAW:verify-before-asserting}}).
+6. `git bisect reset`, and confirm the working tree is back where it started
+   ({{LAW:verify-before-asserting}}).
+7. Report the commit(s) with their evidence. Do **not** fix inside the investigation —
+   that is a separate change ({{LAW:one-intent-one-act}}); hand off to the
+   [debug {{SKILL}}](debug.md) or the [commit {{SKILL}}](commit.md).
+
+### Part B — Recover or rewrite
+1. **Stop.** Run nothing that could compound the damage. Capture and read the state:
+   `git status`, `git reflog`, `git stash list` ({{LAW:verify-before-asserting}}). Every HEAD move is
+   recoverable from the reflog.
+2. **Back up before any destructive op:** `git branch backup/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)`.
+   A branch keeps only *committed* state — if the tree is dirty, `git stash push -u`
+   (or a WIP commit) first, so a `reset --hard` cannot destroy work the reflog never
+   saw. Never rewrite, reset or force-push without a recovery path
+   ({{LAW:deletion-is-deliberate}}).
+3. Choose the **minimal** recovery:
+   - *Lost commits / bad reset:* find the SHA in `git reflog`, then `git reset --hard <sha>`
+     (or `git cherry-pick` / `git branch <name> <sha>` to salvage selectively).
+   - *Operation gone wrong:* `git rebase --abort`, `git merge --abort`,
+     `git cherry-pick --abort`.
+   - *Detached HEAD with work:* `git branch <name>` to anchor it before moving.
+   - *Stranded changes:* `git stash apply <ref>`; dropped stashes via their reflog SHA.
+   - *Uncommitted file clobbered:* `git restore --source=<sha> <path>`.
+4. **Resolving conflict hunks:** read the primary sources for each side — commit
+   messages, PRs, original issues — and understand why each change was made. Preserve
+   both intents where possible; where incompatible, pick the one matching the merge's
+   stated goal and note the trade-off. Never invent new behaviour in a resolution, and
+   — unlike the deliberate `--abort` in step 3 — never `--abort` to escape a conflict
+   you were asked to resolve. Before concluding, run the project's checks (typecheck,
+   tests, format) and fix what the merge broke.
+5. **Deliberate rewrite** (interactive rebase, squash, fixup, amend): on a dedicated
+   branch, never a shared one, as the only change in flight ({{LAW:one-intent-one-act}}). A
+   rewrite *creates commits*, so present what will change and get the user's
+   acceptance first, as for any commit ({{DOCTRINE:consent-before-push}}).
+6. Verify against `git log --oneline`, `git status` and the diff to the intended state
+   — read the output, do not assume the rewrite landed ({{LAW:verify-before-asserting}}).
+7. Push only with the user's explicit per-push consent. A rewrite needs a
+   `--force-with-lease` push, doubly outward-facing: present what changed and wait for
+   acceptance ({{DOCTRINE:consent-before-push}} / {{LAW:deletion-is-deliberate}}). Never force-push a shared
+   branch without confirming it is safe.
+
+## Done when
+- **Part A:** the question is answered with specific commit(s) and the output that
+  proves it, the bisect state is reset, and the working tree is unchanged.
+- **Part B:** the repository is in the intended state, verified against actual git
+  output, and the pre-rescue state is still recoverable from the backup branch or the
+  reflog.

+   question whose resolution is a *decision* — never a slice of build. Create them all
+   first, then wire blocking edges and cross-references with the real ids — a
+   placeholder `#n` auto-links an unrelated issue.
+4. Work the **frontier**: claim an unblocked ticket before any work (assign it, or
+   `Status: claimed`) so concurrent sessions skip it. Resolve it — research, a
+   [prototype {{SKILL}}](prototype.md) detour or a [council {{SKILL}}](council.md)
+   debate — write the decision into the ticket, gist-and-link it on the map, close it.
+   At most one ticket per session (research tickets excepted). New questions become tickets.
 5. In everything the user reads, refer to the map and tickets **by name**,
    never by bare issue number — the id rides inside the name's link.
 6. Stop when the frontier is empty: nothing left to decide means the way is
    clear. The pull to "just build it" is the signal you have reached the map's
-   edge — hand off to the [plan {{SKILL}}](plan.md) or the
-   [tickets {{SKILL}}](tickets.md) for execution.
+   edge — hand off to the [plan {{SKILL}}](plan.md), sliced into thin end-to-end pieces that
