+Load the package-root orchestration skill and follow it in full. Read it from the first path that
+exists:
+
+1. `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/SKILL.md` — when this package is installed as a Claude Code plugin.
+2. `../../SKILL.md` relative to this file — when the package is used from a checkout.
+
+The root skill ships with its relative resources (`protocol.md`, `policies/`, `workflows/`), which
+resolve against the same package root. This entrypoint is only a pointer: it is not an application
+configuration file and not a lighter variant of the core.
+
+The core is mandatory once installed: classification, capability resolution, dispatch, gates,
+verification, state and cleanup all come from the root skill. Do not execute work from this file.

+# BUG_FIX — reproduce and repair a defect
+
+**Flow**: Reproduce → Evidence → Hypothesis → Regression → Fix → Review.
+**Triggers**: "fix", "repair", "broken", a failing behavior report.
+
+## Mandatory
+
+- **`systematic-debugging`** — loaded before proposing any fix.
+- **Reproduce before fixing.** A fix proposed from a reading of the code, without an observed
+  reproduction, does not pass G1.
+- Exactly one falsifiable hypothesis at G2, recorded in `hypothesis:{task_id}`.
+- A regression test that is **observed RED** before the fix, then GREEN after.
+
+## Optional (trigger)
+
+- route-data-flow-tracer — the symptom crosses layers.
+- db-concurrency-specialist — an interleaving is suspected.
+- Browser automation (`playwright`) — the symptom is UI-visible.
+
+## Available
+
+Compact investigator scout (locate only), read-only exploration agent.
+
+## Roles and routing by phase
+
+| Phase | Roles | Pair |
+|---|---|---|
+| Reproduce / evidence | explore, route-data-flow-tracer, production-telemetry-collector | W/S T0–T1 |
+| Hypothesis (logic) | synthesizer | S T3 |
+| Hypothesis (money, concurrency, security) | db-concurrency-specialist, provider-webhook-specialist | X T3–T4 |
+| Regression test | test-engineer | S T2 |
+| Standard fix | backend-fixer / frontend-fixer | S T2 |
+| Money / concurrency / security fix | domain specialist | X T3 |
+| Review | code-reviewer (independent) | S T3; risk floors override upward |
+
+Evidence collection runs once per chain and is reused; re-investigation only after a write lands on
+covered files or a concrete named gap appears.
+
+## Gates
+
+Canonical gate names come from [protocol.md](../protocol.md); the detail after each dash is what
+that gate means in this flow.
+
+- **G0** Plan Approved — flow, ownership and reproduction scope defined
+- **G1** Evidence / Requirements Complete — reproduction plus evidence artifacts written
+- **G2** Hypothesis / Design Valid — a single falsifiable hypothesis
+- **G3** Test RED — the regression test observed failing
+- **G4** Build GREEN — fresh GREEN after the fix
+- **G5** Review PASS — independent review after integration
+- **G6** Verification Complete — smoke on the affected surface
+
+## Notes
+
+Unknown access or an environment failure is not a model reasoning failure — fix the gap or report it;
+do not escalate the tier to compensate. A test that fails in the area you touched is your work: fix
+it in the same session. Resolve required and optional capabilities per phase via
+[capabilities](../policies/capabilities.md); a missing mandatory item is declared first, recommended
+once, and only after explicit refusal carried as a `degraded:` line.

+# CONFIG — change configuration or schema deliberately
+
+**Flow**: Plan → Change → Validate → Review.
+**Triggers**: "configure", "migrate", "set up", "change the setting".
+
+## Mandatory
+
+- **The db-migration-author role writes any schema change — never hand-write a migration.**
+- A migration is a **two-step** change: run it, then regenerate and update whatever provenance
+  artifact the project keeps. The second step is not optional; without it the next release fails its
+  schema check.
+- Identify the exact version and effective configuration scope before editing. Configuration
+  precedence differs per domain — never diagnose from one file alone.
+- A rollback path is stated before the change is applied.
+
+## Optional (trigger)
+
+- provider-webhook-specialist — a payment or store webhook configuration is involved.
+- Platform-config MCP — a third-party app configuration is touched.
+- Provider SDK upgrade skill — an API or SDK version moves.
+- `context7` — any documented configuration surface, including familiar ones.
+
+## Available
+
+Infrastructure API MCPs, harness config skill.
+
+## Roles and routing by phase
+
+| Phase | Roles | Pair |
+|---|---|---|
+| Plan | planner | S T2 |
+| Standard config change | backend-fixer | S T2 |
+| DB migration (migration + provenance) | db-migration-author | S T3 |
+| Migration on money tables | db-migration-author | S T3 implementation + **X T4 review** |
+| Validate | verifier | W/S T1 |
+| Review | code-reviewer (independent) | S T3; risk floors override upward |
+
+## Gates
+
+Canonical gate names come from [protocol.md](../protocol.md); the detail after each dash is what
+that gate means in this flow.
+
+- **G0** Plan Approved — scope and rollback path recorded
+- **G1** Evidence / Requirements Complete — current effective configuration read, not assumed
+- **G2** Hypothesis / Design Valid — change design valid
+- **G3** Test RED — schema/consistency check observed failing where applicable, otherwise `not_applicable` with that reason
+- **G4** Build GREEN — migration applied, provenance updated, checks GREEN
+- **G5** Review PASS — independent review; X T4 on money tables
+- **G6** Verification Complete — smoke on the affected surface
+
+## Notes
+
+Do not import another harness's permission syntax and do not change global credentials. Validate
+native schemas rather than assuming a shape. Resolve required and optional capabilities per phase via
+[capabilities](../policies/capabilities.md); a missing mandatory item is declared first, recommended
+once, and only after explicit refusal carried as a `degraded:` line.

+# DEPLOY — perform an authorized release
+
+**Flow**: Pre-checks → Deploy → Smoke → Soak.
+**Triggers**: "deploy", "release", "ship", "publish".
+
+## Mandatory
+
+- **Explicit target and release authorization.** Deployment permission is never inferred from a
+  completed build or a passing test run.
+- **Client-compatibility check** for any already-shipped client that must keep working against the
+  new backend (routes, response shapes, message keys).
+- **Migrations applied** and their provenance/rollback state verified before the release proceeds.
+- **Smoke checks** after the release, run for real, with output recorded.
+- **Telemetry collection on the soak** — a release is not closed on the deploy command's exit status.
+
+## Optional (trigger)
+
+- Native-build MCP — a mobile or desktop native build is part of the release.
+- CI/build MCP — an edge or worker deployment is involved.
+- Platform-config MCP — a third-party app configuration was touched.
+
+## Available
+
+Performance profiling skills, infrastructure API MCPs.
+
+## Roles and routing by phase
+
+| Phase | Roles | Pair |
+|---|---|---|
+| Pre-checks, compatibility, migration readiness | verifier, db-migration-author | W T0 collection; S T3 for migration readiness |
+| Deploy execution | verifier under explicit authorization | W T0 (discovered project command) |
+| Smoke | verifier | W T0 |
+| Soak / telemetry interpretation | production-telemetry-collector | W T0 collection, S T2 interpretation |
+
+Use the **discovered project deployment commands** from the project bindings section; this package
+bundles none.
+
+## Gates
+
+Canonical gate names come from [protocol.md](../protocol.md); the detail after each dash is what
+that gate means in this flow.
+
+- **G0** Plan Approved — authorization and target recorded
+- **G1** Evidence / Requirements Complete — pre-checks complete: compatibility, migrations, rollback path
+- **G2** Hypothesis / Design Valid — release plan valid
+- **G3** Test RED — `not_applicable` with that reason — a deploy does not fabricate a RED test
+- **G4** Build GREEN — build/release artifacts verified
+- **G5** Review PASS — review of the release diff where risk requires
+- **G6** Verification Complete — smoke plus soak evidence
+
+## Notes
+
+A failed compatibility or migration check blocks the release; it is not a warning to step over. If a
+rollback path does not exist, say so before deploying, not after. Resolve required and optional
+capabilities per phase via [capabilities](../policies/capabilities.md); a missing mandatory item is

+# FEATURE — plan and implement a feature
+
+**Flow**: Plan → TDD → Build → Test → Review → Verify.
+**Triggers**: "build", "add", "create", "implement".
+
+## Mandatory
+
+- **Brainstorming before plan mode.** Explore intent, requirements and design before any
+  implementation planning.
+- **The test-engineer writes the failing test first.** No builder is dispatched before G3 RED.
+- Discover project conventions and acceptance criteria before designing against them.
+- Independent review wherever a risk floor applies.
+
+## Optional (trigger)
+
+- `context7` — any library or SDK API surface, **including familiar ones**; training data lags.
+- Design-system + UI-styling skills — any new UI.
+- Payment-provider best-practices skill — the change touches a money path.
+- Semantic-code MCP — a large cross-file edit.
+
+## Available

+Code-architect role, code-explorer, spec-complete code generator (only when the spec is complete and
+no clarification is needed).

+| Review | code-reviewer (independent) | S T3; risk floors override upward |
+| Re-review (verify fixes landed) | code-reviewer | S T1, scoped to the fix range |
+
+The planning model must not execute all subtasks itself: X/F plans, S builds, W does mechanical work,

+# INCIDENT — resolve an operational incident
+
+**Flow**: Evidence → Hypothesis → Fix → Verify → Close.
+**Triggers**: production error, 5xx, stuck state, webhook failure, alert.
+
+## Mandatory
+
+- The phase commands run **in order**: `incident-start` → `incident-evidence` → `incident-fix` →
+  `incident-verify` → `incident-close`. Skipping or reordering invalidates the incident.
+- **Telemetry collection happens before any hypothesis.** A hypothesis formed before evidence is
+  rejected at G2, whatever it claims.
+- Respect incident authorization and the production read/write boundary. Only authorized remediation.
+- Exactly one falsifiable hypothesis reaches G2. Record it in `hypothesis:{task_id}`.
+- Close persists `runbook:{task_id}` (timeline, decisions, gaps) and `regression:{task_id}`.
+
+## Optional (trigger)
+
+- Edge/CDN observability MCP — the symptom is at the edge or in a worker.
+- Native-platform debugger skill — a native crash is involved.
+- Memory recall of a prior incident — the symptom rhymes with something already filed.
+
+## Available
+
+Incident orchestration workflow, adversarial-skeptic, read-only exploration agents.
+
+## Roles and routing by phase
+
+| Phase | Roles | Pair |
+|---|---|---|
+| Evidence | production-telemetry-collector ×N, route-data-flow-tracer, log specialist, DB/runtime specialist | 4× W/S T1–T2 + S log specialist + S DB/runtime specialist |

+| Fix (money, concurrency, security) | db-concurrency-specialist, provider-webhook-specialist | X T3 |
+| Regression test | test-engineer | S T2 |
+| Review | code-reviewer (independent) | S T3; risk floors override upward |
+| Verify / soak | production-telemetry-collector | W T0 collection, S T2 interpretation |
+
+Evidence agents run in parallel with disjoint scopes; fan-out minimum is 4 for a CRITICAL incident.
+Synthesis is sequential.

+Canonical gate names come from [protocol.md](../protocol.md); the detail after each dash is what

+- **G3** Test RED — the regression test observed failing
+- **G4** Build GREEN — fresh GREEN
+- **G5** Review PASS — independent review after integration
+- **G6** Verification Complete — domain smoke on the affected surfaces
+
+## Notes
+

+# INVESTIGATION — explain without unauthorized mutation
+
+**Flow**: Evidence → Synthesis → Challenge → Report.
+**Triggers**: "why", "analyze", "how does", "debug", "is it true that".
+
+## Mandatory
+
+- **Adversarial challenge of the synthesis — never ship a single-source conclusion.** The skeptic is
+  a separate agent that did not produce the synthesis.
+- All agents run `RO` (`edit: deny`, no provider writes). An investigation does not implement its own
+  proposed fix.
+- Every collector writes an evidence artifact with `file:line` refs, open questions and the source
+  revision. The artifact, not the agent's context, is the durable output.
+- **`exa` whenever any part of the explanation rests on external or current facts** — vendor or
+  library behavior local docs and `context7` do not cover, versions, prices, API changes, or the
+  same symptom seen in the wild. Such a claim made from training data alone does not pass G2. If
+  `exa` is not installed: state the gap first, recommend installation once, and only after an
+  explicit refusal continue in declared degraded mode with a `degraded: exa` line and those claims
+  labelled unverified.
+
+## Optional (trigger)
+
+- Semantic-code MCP — symbol-level questions across a large codebase.
+- Memory recall **before fanning out** — the answer may already be filed.
+
+## Available
+
+Read-only exploration agent, general-purpose agent, compact investigator scouts.
+
+## Roles and routing by phase
+
+| Phase | Roles | Pair |
+|---|---|---|
+| Evidence collection | route-data-flow-tracer, production-telemetry-collector, explore | W T0–T1 |
+| Evidence synthesis | synthesizer | S T2; X T3 if complex |
+| Adversarial challenge | adversarial-skeptic | S T3 |
+
+Fan-out follows the independent questions, with the minimums from
+[dispatch](../policies/dispatch.md): 2 MODERATE, 3 COMPLEX, 4 CRITICAL where independent scopes
+exist. Collectors run in parallel with disjoint scopes; synthesis is sequential.
+
+## Gates
+
+Canonical gate names come from [protocol.md](../protocol.md); the detail after each dash is what
+that gate means in this flow.
+
+- **G0** Plan Approved — questions and scopes defined
+- **G1** Evidence / Requirements Complete — evidence artifacts complete
+- **G2** Hypothesis / Design Valid — supported explanation, challenged
+- **G3** Test RED — `not_applicable` with that reason — an investigation does not fabricate a RED test
+- **G4** Build GREEN — `not_applicable` with that reason; no code is built
+- **G5** Review PASS — skeptic verdict recorded
+- **G6** Verification Complete — report states confidence and concrete gaps
+
+## Notes
+
+Reuse fresh evidence; a second read-only pass over the same scope with no write in between is a
+protocol violation. Report confidence and named gaps rather than a confident single narrative, and
+distinguish what was observed from what was inferred. Resolve required and optional capabilities per

+
+## Optional (trigger)
