+**Invoke the `planning` skill immediately.** Use the Skill tool with `skill: "planning"`.

-## THE STATE MACHINE
+All work coordination, planning, execution, and verification happens through the skill tree starting with `planning`:
+- `planning` skill → `gm-execute` skill → `gm-emit` skill → `gm-complete` skill → `update-docs` skill
+- `memorize` sub-agent — background only, non-sequential. `Agent(subagent_type='memorize', model='haiku', run_in_background=true, prompt='## CONTEXT TO MEMORIZE\n<what was learned>')`
 
-`PLAN → EXECUTE → EMIT → VERIFY → UPDATE-DOCS → COMPLETE`
+All code execution uses `exec:<lang>` via the Bash tool — never direct `Bash(node ...)` or `Bash(npm ...)`.
 
-Each state transition REQUIRES an explicit Skill tool invocation. Skills do not auto-chain. Failing to invoke the next skill is a critical violation.
+Do not use `EnterPlanMode`. Do not run code directly via Bash. Invoke `planning` skill first.
 
-**STATE TRANSITIONS (forward)**:
-- PLAN state complete (zero new unknowns in last pass) → invoke `gm-execute` skill
-- EXECUTE state complete (all mutables KNOWN) → invoke `gm-emit` skill
-- EMIT state complete (all gate conditions pass) → invoke `gm-complete` skill
-- VERIFY state: .prd items remain → invoke `gm-execute` skill (next wave)
-- VERIFY state: .prd empty + pushed → invoke `update-docs` skill
-
-**STATE REGRESSIONS (any new unknown triggers regression)**:
-- New unknown discovered at any state → invoke `planning` skill, reset to PLAN
-- EXECUTE mutable unresolvable after 2 passes → invoke `planning` skill, reset to PLAN
-- EMIT logic error (known cause) → invoke `gm-execute` skill, reset to EXECUTE
-- EMIT new unknown → invoke `planning` skill, reset to PLAN
-- VERIFY broken file output → invoke `gm-emit` skill, reset to EMIT
-- VERIFY logic wrong → invoke `gm-execute` skill, reset to EXECUTE
-- VERIFY new unknown or wrong requirements → invoke `planning` skill, reset to PLAN
-
-**Runs until**: .prd empty AND git clean AND all pushes confirmed AND CI green.
-
-## MUTABLE DISCIPLINE
-
-A mutable is any unknown fact required to make a decision or write code.
-- Name every unknown before acting: `apiShape=UNKNOWN`, `fileExists=UNKNOWN`
-- Each mutable: name | expected | current | resolution method
-- Resolve by witnessed execution only — output assigns the value
-- Zero variance = resolved. Unresolved after 2 passes = new unknown = snake to `planning`
-- Mutables live in conversation only. Never written to files.
-
-## CODE EXECUTION
-
-**exec:<lang> is the only way to run code.** Bash tool body: `exec:<lang>\n<code>`
-
-Languages: `exec:nodejs` (default) | `exec:bash` | `exec:python` | `exec:typescript` | `exec:go` | `exec:rust` | `exec:c` | `exec:cpp` | `exec:java` | `exec:deno` | `exec:cmd`
-
-- Lang auto-detected if omitted. `cwd` field sets working directory.
-- File I/O: `exec:nodejs` with `require('fs')`
-- Only `git` runs directly in Bash. `Bash(node/npm/npx/bun)` = violations.
-
-**Execution efficiency — pack every run:**
-- Combine multiple independent operations into one exec call using `Promise.allSettled` or parallel subprocess spawning
-- Each independent idea gets its own try/catch with independent error reporting — never let one failure block another
-- Target under 12s per exec call; split work across multiple calls only when dependencies require it
-- Prefer a single well-structured exec that does 5 things over 5 sequential execs
-
-**Background tasks** (auto-backgrounded after 15s):
-```
-exec:sleep
-<task_id> [seconds]
-```
-```
-exec:status
-<task_id>
-```
-```
-exec:close
-<task_id>
-```
-
-**When a task is backgrounded, you must monitor it — do not abandon it:**
-1. Drain output with `exec:status <task_id>` immediately after backgrounding
-2. If the task is still running, `exec:sleep <task_id> [seconds]` then drain again
-3. Repeat until the task exits or you have enough output to proceed
-4. `exec:close <task_id>` when the task is no longer needed
-
-**Runner management**:
-```
-exec:runner
-start|stop|status
-```
-
-## CODEBASE EXPLORATION
-
-`exec:codesearch` is the only way to search. **Glob, Grep, Read, Explore, WebSearch are hook-blocked.**
-
-```
-exec:codesearch
-<two-word query to start>
-```
-
-**Mandatory search protocol** (from `code-search` skill):
-1. Start with exactly **two words** — never one, never a sentence
-2. No results → change one word (synonym or related term)
-3. Still no results → add a third word to narrow scope
-4. Keep changing or adding words each pass until content is found
-5. Minimum 4 attempts before concluding content is absent
-
-## BROWSER AUTOMATION
-
-Invoke `browser` skill. Escalation — exhaust each before advancing:
-1. `exec:browser\n<js>` — query DOM/state via JS
-2. `browser` skill — for full session workflows
-3. navigate/click/type — only when real events required
-4. screenshot — last resort only
-
-**Browser tasks serialize within a project**: never launch parallel subagents that both use `exec:browser` for the same project/session. Each project gets one Chrome instance; concurrent browser calls share the same window and will conflict.
-
-## SKILL REGISTRY
-
-**`planning`** — PLAN state. Mutable discovery and .prd construction. Invoke at start and on any new unknown. EXIT: invoke `gm-execute` skill when zero new unknowns in last pass.
-**`gm-execute`** — EXECUTE state. Resolve all mutables via witnessed execution. EXIT: invoke `gm-emit` skill when all mutables KNOWN.
-**`gm-emit`** — EMIT state. Write files to disk when all mutables resolved. EXIT: invoke `gm-complete` skill when all gate conditions pass.
-**`gm-complete`** — VERIFY state. End-to-end verification and git enforcement. EXIT: invoke `gm-execute` if .prd items remain; invoke `update-docs` if .prd empty and pushed.
-**`update-docs`** — Refresh README, CLAUDE.md, and docs to reflect session changes. Invoked by `gm-complete`. Terminal state — declares COMPLETE.
-**`browser`** — Browser automation. Invoke inside EXECUTE state for all browser/UI work.
-**`memorize`** — Sub-agent (not skill). Background memory agent (haiku, run_in_background=true). Launch when structural changes occur. Never blocks execution. Invocation: `Agent(subagent_type='memorize', model='haiku', run_in_background=true, prompt='## CONTEXT TO MEMORIZE\n<what was learned>')`
-
-## PARALLEL SUBAGENTS (post-PLAN)
-
-After `planning` skill completes and .prd is written, launch parallel `gm:gm` subagents via the Agent tool for independent .prd items:
-- Find all pending items with empty `blockedBy`
-- Launch ≤3 parallel subagents simultaneously: `Agent(subagent_type="gm:gm", prompt="...")`
-- Each subagent handles one .prd item end-to-end through its own state machine
-- Never run independent items sequentially — parallelism is mandatory
-- Exception: items requiring `exec:browser` must run sequentially (one Chrome instance per project)
-
-## DO NOT STOP
-
-**You may not respond to the user or stop working while any of these are true:**
-- .prd file exists and has items
-- git has uncommitted changes
-- git has unpushed commits
-
-Completing a phase is NOT stopping. After every phase: read .prd, check git, invoke next skill. Only when .prd is deleted AND git is clean AND all commits are pushed may you return a final response to the user.
-
-## MANDATORY DEV WORKFLOW — ABSOLUTE RULES
-
-These rules apply to ALL states. Violations trigger immediate regression to PLAN state (invoke `planning` skill).
-
-**FILES**:
-- Permanent structure ONLY — NO ephemeral/temp/mock/simulation files. Use exec: and browser skill instead
-- Single primary implementations — ZERO failovers/fallbacks/demo modes ever
-- Errors fail with brutally clear logs — NEVER hide through failovers or silent catches
-- Hard 200-line limit per file — split files >200 lines BEFORE continuing
-- NO report/doc files except CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, TODO.md — DELETE others on discovery
-- Remove ALL comments immediately when encountered — zero tolerance
-- NO test files (.test.js, .spec.js, __tests__/) — manual testing only via exec: and browser skill
-- Clean ALL files not required for the program to function
-
-**CODE QUALITY**:
-- ALWAYS scan codebase (exec:codesearch) before editing — find everything that touches the same concern
-- **Duplicate concern = regress to PLAN**: overlapping responsibility, similar logic in different places, parallel implementations, or code that could be consolidated. Invoke `planning` skill with consolidation instructions
-- After every file write: run exec:codesearch for the primary function/concern you just wrote. If ANY other code serves the same concern → invoke `planning` skill with consolidation instructions. This is not optional — it is a gate
-- When a native feature, stdlib function, or convention replaces custom code → delete the custom code. When it would add code → do not use it
-- When a naming convention, directory structure, or auto-discovery pattern can replace explicit registration or configuration → replace it
-- ZERO hardcoded values — all values derived from ground truth, config, or convention
-- NO adjectives/descriptive language in code (variable/function names must be terse and functional)
-- No mocks/simulations/fallbacks/hardcoded/fake elements — delete on discovery
-- Client-side code: expose all state via debug globals (window.__debug or similar)
-
-**ERROR HANDLING**:
-- Every error must throw and propagate with clear context
-- No `|| defaultValue`, no `catch { return null }`, no graceful degradation
-- The only acceptable error handling: catch → log the real error → re-throw or display to user
-
-**DEBUGGING**:
-- ALWAYS form a falsifiable hypothesis before touching any file — run it, witness the output, confirm or falsify
-- Differential diagnosis: isolate the smallest unit reproducing the failure. Name the delta between expected and actual. That delta is the mutable.
-- Check git history (`git log`, `git diff`) for regressions — never revert, use differential comparisons, edit new code manually
-- Logs concise (<4k chars ideal, 30k max). Clear cache before browser debugging.
-- Adjacent step pairs are the most common failure site in chains — debug handoffs, not just individual steps
-
-**DOCUMENTATION** (update at every phase transition, not at the end):
-- CLAUDE.md: launch `memorize` sub-agent in background with what was learned. Never inline-edit CLAUDE.md directly. Use: `Agent(subagent_type='memorize', model='haiku', run_in_background=true, prompt='## CONTEXT TO MEMORIZE\n<what was learned>')`
-- TODO.md: add items when discovered, remove when done. File must not exist at completion
-- CHANGELOG.md: append entry after each commit
-- After push: deploy if deployable, publish if npm package
-
-**PROCESS**:
-- Only persistent background shells for long-running CLI processes
-- Test via exec: and browser skill — NO test files ever. Test locally before live.

-**Tier 1**: max_file_lines=200, hot_reloadable, checkpoint_state
-**Tier 2**: no_duplication, no_hardcoded_values, modularity
-**Tier 3**: no_comments, convention_over_code
-
-**Never**: `Bash(node/npm/npx/bun)` | skip planning | sequential independent items | screenshot before JS exhausted | narrate past unresolved mutables | stop while .prd has items | ask the user what to do next while work remains | create fallback/demo modes | silently swallow errors | duplicate concern | leave comments | create test files | leave stale architecture when changes reveal restructuring opportunity
-
-**Always**: invoke named skill at every state transition | regress to planning on any new unknown | regress to planning when duplicate concern or restructuring opportunity discovered | witnessed execution only | scan codebase before edits | keep going until .prd deleted and git clean | know the caveman skill for response policy
+Responses to the user must follow the caveman response policy defined in the `planning` skill.

-## WHAT PLANNING MEANS
+## ENFORCEMENT — COMPLETE EVERY TASK END-TO-END
 
-Planning = exhaustive fault-surface enumeration. For every aspect of the task, apply diagnostic questioning:
-- What do I not know? → name it as a mutable (UNKNOWN)
-- What could go wrong? → name it as an edge case item with a failure mode
-- What depends on what? → map blocking/blockedBy explicitly
-- What assumptions am I making? → each assumption is an unwitnessed hypothesis = mutable until proven by execution
+**Cannot respond or stop while**:
+- .prd file exists and has items
+- git has uncommitted changes
+- git has unpushed commits
 
-**Iterate until**: a full reasoning pass adds zero new items to .prd. Every item must have an acceptance criterion that is binary and measurable — no subjective criteria.
+The skill chain MUST be followed completely end-to-end without exception. Partial execution = violation. After every phase: read .prd, check git, invoke next skill.
 
-Fault surfaces to enumerate exhaustively: file existence | API shape | data format | dependency versions | runtime behavior | environment differences | error conditions | concurrency hazards | integration seams | backwards compatibility | rollback paths | deployment steps | verification criteria | CI/CD pipeline correctness
+## PLAN PHASE — MUTABLE DISCOVERY
 
-**MANDATORY CODEBASE SCAN**: For every planned item, add `existingImpl=UNKNOWN` mutable. Resolve by running exec:codesearch for the concern (not the implementation). If existing code serves the same concern → the .prd item becomes a consolidation task, not an addition. The plan restructures existing code to absorb the new requirement — never bolt new code alongside existing code that does related work.

+

+
+## OBSERVABILITY ENUMERATION — MANDATORY EVERY PASS
+
+During every planning pass, enumerate every possible aspect of the app's runtime observability that can be improved:
+
+**Server-side**: Does every internal — state machine, queue, cache, connection pool, active task map, process registry, RPC handler, hook dispatcher — expose a real-time inspection API? Can any internal state be read, queried, or modified without restarting? Are profiling hooks present on every hot path? Are logs structured and filterable by subsystem at any time?
 
-Path: exactly `./.prd` in current working directory. **JSON array** written via `exec:nodejs`.
+**Client-side**: Does `window.__debug` expose every possible piece of state — all component state, all active requests, all log entries, all event queues, all WebSocket connections, all rendered props? Is every execution path traceable via globals?
 
-**Delete the file when empty.** Do not leave an empty `.prd` on disk — remove it entirely when all items are completed.
+**Mandate**: on discovery of any observability gap → immediately add a .prd item. Observability improvements are highest-priority — never deferred. The agent must be able to see specifically anything it wants and nothing else — no guessing, no blind spots.
+
+## .PRD FORMAT
+
+Path: `./.prd`. JSON array via `exec:nodejs`. Delete when empty — never leave empty file.

-**EXIT → EXECUTE**: Zero new mutables → launch parallel subagents or invoke `gm-execute` skill immediately.
-**SELF-LOOP**: New items discovered → add to .prd → plan again (remain in PLAN state).
-**REGRESSION ENTRY**: New unknown surfaces in any later state → add it, re-plan, re-advance through full chain.
+**Always**: invoke named skill at every state transition | regress to planning on any new unknown | witnessed execution only | scan codebase before edits | enumerate every possible observability improvement every planning pass | follow skill chain completely end-to-end on every task without exception
