+Mandatory — before any planning or execution step, declare the status of each
+core tool in this order (present / gap declared / explicit user refusal):
+
+1. `using-superpowers` (orchestration.bootstrap — invoke first, always)
+2. `mempalace` recall (memory.recall)
+3. `mempalace` checkpoint (memory.checkpoint)
+4. `sequentialthinking` MCP (reasoning.checkpoints)
+5. `caveman` (communication.concise)
+6. `rtk` preflight `command -v rtk && rtk --version` (shell.rtk)
+7. `context7` before code/fix/update/review checks (docs.current)
+8. `exa` for any external or current fact (research.retrieve)
+9. `verification-before-completion` (verification.checks)
+
+Domain-conditional — when the task's domain is FRONTEND, or it creates, changes, reviews or audits
+UI or visual design, also declare:
+
+D1. `impeccable` (ui.design_system) — `/impeccable shape` (or `critique`) before building,
+    `audit` + `polish` before G5; `/impeccable init` first when PRODUCT.md is missing.
+    ui-ux-pro-max, frontend-design, design-system, ui-styling and web-design-guidelines complement
+    it — never substitute for it silently.
+
+Questions: native, batched, once — every question to the user (mandatory-tool gap, batched
+"skip or fix?" minor findings, destructive confirmation, surviving scope ambiguity) goes through the
+harness's native question mechanism (user.native_question), batched into ONE question at the decision
+point. Never free text at the end of a message; no answer means `blocked_pending_user`, never
+implied approval. Subagents never ask the user: they return `question_for_user` in the handoff.
+
+A mandatory gap is declared first and a one-time install is recommended before
+continuing. Only after an explicit user refusal may work continue, and only in
+declared degraded mode (`degraded:` line in every plan, handoff and report) — never silently.
+
+Orchestrator: discover tools/permissions (installed / loaded / callable / denied); read the
+project's `## Orchestration bindings (project)` section; allocate task_id; record task/flow
+drawers; emit the pre-evaluation JSON; split the plan into small PlanShards before dispatch
+(one concern, one role, one R/W boundary, one measurable output); dispatch independent shards
+in parallel (2+ agents for MODERATE, 3+ COMPLEX, 4+ CRITICAL when independent work exists;
+parallel groups 2–6, max 8 active shards before synthesis); keep each shard at 8–15 iterations
+and requeue the unfinished remainder at 70%; pass compact drawer refs, scope, owner,
+dependencies, acceptance checks and output drawer — never transcripts; require the
+non-mutating RTK access preflight before each shard; route EVERY shard separately at dispatch
+time against the live inventory, filling its `routing` block (`pair`, `tier`,
+`thinking_level`, `model_requested`, `effort_requested`, `model_effective`,
+`effort_effective`, `review_floor`, `independent_review`, `selection_reason`,
+`inventory_revision`, `price_source`, `est_usd_per_task`) from the W/S/X/F tier and T0–T5
+thinking level in the routing policy, with risk floors and an independent reviewer seat that is
+never cut — never one pair for the whole task, never a silent downgrade below a tier floor
+(`blocked: no eligible model` instead), and on an inventory change re-route the remaining shards
+only; enforce G0–G6; checkpoint to memory every 6–8 tool calls or before
+compaction. If a child returns `Streaming response failed` with a resumable id, record
+`subagent_stream_recovery_pending`, resume that exact child with its original phase contract
+(max three attempts), else one fresh child only from a complete handoff, else
+`subagent_resume_unavailable`. On a required access deny, record
+`permission_recovery:{task_id}:{phase}:{role}`, stop the blocked session and launch one fresh
+session with the matching declared profile (RO/RW); a repeated deny is terminal
+`permission_blocked` — only a human can approve a non-restricted session. Never bypass a
+deny, weaken access grants or skip verification. Integrate only after diff/test evidence; record
+`used_mcps` and verification; run the post-integration cleanup gate before claiming done.
+Sequentialthinking schema: `revisesThought` and `branchFromThought` are integers >= 1
+(use 1 as sentinel when false), never 0/null/omitted.

+| D1 | `ui.design_system` | `impeccable` — `/impeccable shape` (or `critique`) before building, `audit` + `polish` before G5; `init` first when `PRODUCT.md` is missing; per-phase commands in `workflows/<type>.md`. `ui-ux-pro-max`, `frontend-design`, `design-system`, `ui-styling` and `web-design-guidelines` complement it and never substitute for it silently | Every task whose domain is `FRONTEND`, or that creates, changes, reviews or audits UI or visual design |
+
+**Exclusive binding.** `ui.design_system` binds only to `impeccable`. A project binding that names
+another design skill is ignored and reported (`exclusive: ui.design_system ignores binding <name>`).
+An explicit user decision that binds another design skill is reported the same way and counts as
+the explicit refusal of `impeccable`: the requirement goes to declared degraded mode with a
+`degraded: ui.design_system` line, and the substitute still does not satisfy it.

 ## Per task type
 
 | Task type | Mandatory | Optional (trigger) | Available |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **INCIDENT** | `incident-start` → `-evidence` → `-fix` → `-verify` → `-close`, in that order; telemetry collection **before any hypothesis** | edge/CDN observability MCP (edge or worker symptom); native-platform debugger skill (native crash); memory recall of a prior incident (the symptom rhymes) | incident orchestration workflow, adversarial-skeptic |
-| **FEATURE** | brainstorming before plan mode; the test-engineer writes the **failing test first** | `context7` (any library/SDK API surface — even familiar ones); design-system + UI-styling skills (any new UI); payment-provider best-practices skill (money path); semantic-code MCP such as `serena` (large cross-file edit) | `feature-dev-code-architect` (a harness-provided planning agent, not a core role), spec-complete code generator (only when the spec is complete and no clarification is needed) |
-| **BUG_FIX** | systematic-debugging; **reproduce before fixing** | route-data-flow-tracer (symptom crosses layers); db-concurrency-specialist (interleaving suspected); browser automation such as `playwright` (UI-visible) | compact investigator scout, read-only exploration agent |
-| **REFACTOR** | coverage exists **before the first edit** | code-simplifier; semantic-code MCP (symbol-level moves across many files) | bounded ≤2-file builder, the `explore` role |
-| **INVESTIGATION** | adversarial challenge of the synthesis — never ship a single-source conclusion; **`exa` whenever any part of the explanation rests on external or current facts** | semantic-code MCP; memory recall before fanning out (the answer may already be filed) | read-only exploration agent, general-purpose agent |

+| **REFACTOR** | coverage exists **before the first edit**; `impeccable` when UI is touched (`audit` baseline → `extract` → `audit` + `polish`) | code-simplifier; semantic-code MCP (symbol-level moves across many files) | bounded ≤2-file builder, the `explore` role |
+| **INVESTIGATION** | adversarial challenge of the synthesis — never ship a single-source conclusion; **`exa` whenever any part of the explanation rests on external or current facts**; `impeccable` `critique` + `audit` (read-only) when the question is about UI | semantic-code MCP; memory recall before fanning out (the answer may already be filed) | read-only exploration agent, general-purpose agent |
 | **DEPLOY** | client-compatibility check + migrations applied + smoke; telemetry collection on the soak | native-build MCP (mobile/native build); CI/build MCP (edge or worker deploy); platform-config MCP (a third-party app config was touched) | performance profiling skills |
 | **CONFIG** | db-migration-author for **any schema change** — never hand-write a migration | provider-webhook-specialist (payment or store webhook); platform-config MCP; provider SDK upgrade skill | infrastructure API MCPs |
-| **REVIEW** | code-reviewer; **independent reviewer seat whenever a risk floor applies — cut the implementer, never the reviewer** | adversarial-skeptic (money, auth, client compatibility); PR-review workflow (PR-shaped change) | compact reviewer, secondary reviewer role |
+| **REVIEW** | code-reviewer; **independent reviewer seat whenever a risk floor applies — cut the implementer, never the reviewer**; `impeccable` `critique` + `audit` on a UI diff | adversarial-skeptic (money, auth, client compatibility); PR-review workflow (PR-shaped change) | compact reviewer, secondary reviewer role |
