+   nor through inaction let it come to harm. Harm includes a false claim, a
+   silent widening of scope, an unconsented deletion, code its next reader
+   cannot follow: the user includes whoever maintains this codebase later, owed

+interview half runs, the design half is skipped.
 
 ## Procedure
-1. Read the current project state and its own docs ({{DOCTRINE}} process 4) so questions are grounded; if the request bundles several systems, decompose and take one at a time.
-2. Ask clarifying questions ONE at a time (multiple-choice when you can) until purpose, constraints, and success criteria are clear.
-3. Propose 2-3 approaches with trade-offs; lead with your recommendation.
-4. Present the design in sections (purpose → components → data flow → failure modes → testing), getting an explicit "looks right" after each; cut anything YAGNI.
-5. Write the agreed design to a spec the next session can find — `SPEC.md` beside the work, or the project's own spec home (e.g. `docs/specs/`) — re-read it for ambiguity, then hand off to the [plan {{SKILL}}](plan.md) to sequence it — writing no implementation code before that approval.
+1. **Ground.** Read the current project state and its own docs ({{DOCTRINE}} process 4)
+   so every question is about the real thing ({{LAW}} III). If the request bundles
+   several goals or systems, separate them and take one at a time.
+2. **Interpret charitably, then interview.** Read the request in its strongest
+   reasonable form — do not manufacture ambiguity from a fair ask. If goal, scope and
+   success criteria are already unambiguous, restate them in one line and go to step
+   4. Otherwise ask ONE question at a time (multiple-choice when you can), driving at
+   *why* (the outcome wanted), *scope* (explicitly in and out) and *done* (how success
+   is judged) — not *how* yet. Stop when each is unambiguous.
+3. **Ledger the decisions.** Name every KEY DECISION the answers imply or leave open —
+   direction chosen, trade-offs accepted, load-bearing constraints, assumptions,
+   non-goals. Surface each silent assumption as a decision to ratify, not a settled
+   fact. Read the ledger back as a numbered list and get an EXPLICIT confirmation
+   ({{LAW}} X — an inferred intent is not ground truth until echoed and agreed);
+   scope the read-back to what is consequential, irreversible or genuinely uncertain.
+4. **Design — only when there is something to design.** Propose 2–3 approaches with
+   trade-offs, leading with your recommendation. Present the chosen design in
+   sections (purpose → components → data flow → failure modes → testing), getting an
+   explicit "looks right" after each; cut anything YAGNI. For a non-design ask, skip
+   this step.
+5. **Write the spec.** One file the next session can find — `SPEC.md` beside the work,
+   or the project's own spec home (e.g. `docs/specs/`): the goal in one line, the
+   confirmed decision ledger, then the design (when there is one). Re-read it cold for
+   ambiguity and fix what a stranger could misread.
+6. **Exit — route, don't build.** Hand the spec to the {{SKILL}} the work now needs:
+   [plan](plan.md) for a multi-step build, [tickets](tickets.md) when it exceeds one
+   session, [wayfinder](wayfinder.md) when the route itself is still unknown,
+   [debug](debug.md) for a defect. Write no implementation code before that handoff.
 
 ## Done when
-- An approved, ambiguity-free design exists and `plan` has it to sequence, with no code written beforehand.
+- A confirmed, ambiguity-free goal with its ratified decision ledger — and, where

+**Trigger:** a CI run, pipeline job, or pre-merge check is red — on a PR you opened, a
+branch you are on, or one the user points you at — or the user says "CI is failing",
+"fix the build", "why is the pipeline red". The [debug {{SKILL}}](debug.md) drives
+the root-causing once the failure reproduces locally; this {{SKILL}} gets it there and
+gets the fix back through the same gate.
+
+**Requires:** access to the CI logs — the host's CI tool, a `gh run view --log-failed`
+/ equivalent, or the log pasted by the user.
+
+## Procedure
+1. **Read the log, not the badge.** Find the first failing job and the first failing
+   step inside it — later failures are usually consequences. Read the actual error and
+   the command that produced it in full ({{LAW}} III); note the runner's OS, toolchain
+   versions, and the exact invocation.
+2. **Classify before touching anything:** a *real failure* (the code or test is
+   wrong), an *environment difference* (a version, a path, line endings, a missing
+   binary, a skipped-locally test that CI does not skip), an *infra flake* (network,
+   runner, cache, timeout), or a *gate on the report itself* (a coverage or count
+   threshold, a lint the local hook skips). Each has a different fix; a wrong class
+   wastes the afternoon.
+3. **Reproduce locally with CI's own command and conditions** — the same script from
+   the workflow file, the same flags, a matching toolchain version where it can be
+   selected. A test that is green locally and red in CI has not reproduced yet: close
+   the gap (the env var, the `--frozen-lockfile`, the reporter, the `npm` that is not on
+   PATH) until it fails the same way. Never `retry` a run blindly.
+4. **Root-cause and fix through the [debug {{SKILL}}](debug.md)** — one cause, the
+   smallest fix, a regression test where one can pin it. For an environment
+   difference, prefer making the *repo* deterministic (pin, normalise, declare) over
+   making CI more permissive. A flake is fixed at its source — the race, the timeout,
+   the unpinned resource — or quarantined *with an issue and an owner*, never
+   silently skipped ({{LAW}} VIII).
+5. **Prove it the way CI will.** Run CI's command locally once more and read the
+   output; then push with the user's per-push consent ({{DOCTRINE}} process 5) and
+   watch the re-run to green — a fix is verified by the gate that reported the
+   failure, not by a local pass.
+6. **Exit.** Say what failed, which class it was, what changed, and the run that is
+   now green. If the failure was a gate misconfiguration or a flake in CI itself,
+   leave the fix to CI config as its own commit ({{LAW}} II) and note it in the PR.
+
+## Done when
+- The first real failure was reproduced locally under CI's conditions, fixed at its
+  cause with a test where one applies, and the same CI run that reported it has been

+   names a path, function, flag, command, version, PR or branch: check it still exists
+   and still behaves as claimed. A `project` memory about work since merged, a
+   `reference` to a moved file, a `feedback` note the code now enforces — each is a
+   candidate to retire or rewrite, and the evidence goes in the table.
+3. **Classify each entry**: *keep* (true, still changes behaviour, not derivable from
+   the repo), *merge* (duplicates or refines another — one file survives, the other's
+   `**Why**` folded in), *rewrite* (the fact drifted — fix the claim, keep the lesson),
+   *promote* (a `feedback` lesson that has fired three times or more belongs in
+   `user-rules.md` — hand it to the [rule {{SKILL}}](rule.md)), *retire* (wrong,
+   superseded, or a fact a fresh read of the repo re-derives). When in doubt between
+   keep and retire, keep and date it.
+4. **Show the plan, then apply it with consent** ({{LAW}} IV — retirement is deletion).
+   Merges preserve the `[[links]]` of both parents; rewrites keep the file name so
+   inbound links hold; every surviving file keeps its frontmatter valid and its
+   `**Why** / **How to apply**` lines where the type demands them. Nothing in the set
+   ever holds a secret ({{LAW}} I) — a memory that does is retired on sight.
+5. **Rebuild the index.** `MEMORY.md` gets exactly one line per surviving file, each
+   with a hook that says why a future session would open it; entries the index had
+   lost are added, retired ones removed, and the archive lines for old compactions kept
+   short. The index carries no memory content — only pointers.
+6. **Exit with a count and a diff**: kept / merged / rewritten / promoted / retired,
+   and the one or two lessons the pass itself surfaced — a category that keeps
+   drifting, a kind of note nobody reads — as a proposal for how memories get written
+   from now on, not as another memory.
+
+## Done when
+- Every memory was verified against the live repo, duplicates are merged and stale
+  facts rewritten or retired with the user's consent, recurring lessons went to the
+  rule {{SKILL}}, no secret remains, and `MEMORY.md` is a one-line-per-file index that
+  matches the directory exactly.

+# {{SKILL}}: deps-audit
+
+> {{DESC_DEPS_AUDIT}}
+
+**Trigger:** the user asks "what's outdated", "are we vulnerable", "audit the
+dependencies", or to plan an upgrade round; a security advisory lands; a new
+dependency is proposed; or a [migrate {{SKILL}}](migrate.md) run needs to know what
+to bump first. migrate moves *one* dependency safely; this {{SKILL}} decides *which*,
+*in what order*, and *whether at all*.
+
+## Procedure
+1. **Inventory from the lockfile, not the manifest** ({{LAW}} III): every direct
+   dependency with its pinned version, and the transitive tree where the tooling
+   exposes it. Include vendored or copied-in code the manifest does not list — it is
+   a dependency with no update channel.
+2. **Run what the ecosystem provides, install nothing silently:** `npm outdated` /
+   `npm audit`, `pip list --outdated` / `pip-audit`, `cargo outdated` / `cargo audit`,
+   `go list -m -u all` / `govulncheck`, or the host's equivalent. Read the output in
+   full; an advisory's severity is the publisher's number, not yet yours.
+3. **Classify each finding:** *security* (an advisory reaches code this project
+   actually calls — check the path, an unreachable vuln is a note, not an emergency),
+   *behind by a major* (breaking changes — read the changelog for what touches this
+   codebase), *behind by a minor/patch* (usually safe, batchable), *abandoned* (no
+   release, no maintainer — plan a replacement, not a bump), *unused* (imported
+   nowhere — remove it, the cheapest upgrade there is).
+4. **For a proposed new dependency, ask the ladder first** ({{DOCTRINE}} craft 4): does
+   the stdlib or an already-installed package cover it, and is the cost of a few lines
+   lower than the cost of another maintainer's release cadence, licence, and
+   transitive tree? Check who publishes it, how maintained it is, its licence
+   against the project's, and what it pulls in.
+5. **Order the plan by risk, then blast radius:** reachable security fixes first, then
+   removals, then patch/minor batches, then majors one at a time with their changelog
+   notes attached. Each major is its own [migrate {{SKILL}}](migrate.md) run on its own
+   branch ({{LAW}} II); never bundle unrelated bumps.
+6. **Report and hand off.** A ranked table — dependency, current → target, class,
+   reachable?, the note that justifies the rank — plus what was left alone and why.
+   Nothing is upgraded by the audit itself; the user picks the tranche and migrate
+   executes it with the checks green between each step.
+
+## Done when
+- Every dependency in the lockfile is classified with evidence, reachable advisories
+  are separated from unreachable ones, unused and abandoned packages are named, and a
+  risk-ordered upgrade plan exists for migrate to execute — with nothing installed or
+  bumped by the audit.
