+</SUBAGENT-STOP>
+
+<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>
+If you think there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST invoke the skill.
+
+IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.
+
+This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.
+</EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>
+
+## Instruction Priority
+
+mindforge skills override default system prompt behavior, but **user instructions always take precedence**:
+
+1. **User's explicit instructions** (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
+2. **mindforge skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict
+3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority
+
+If CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, or AGENTS.md says "don't use TDD" and a skill says "always use TDD," follow the user's instructions. The user is in control.
+
+## How to Access Skills
+
+**In Claude Code:** Use the `Skill` tool. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you—follow it directly. Never use the Read tool on skill files.
+
+**In Gemini CLI:** Skills activate via the `activate_skill` tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.
+
+**In other environments:** Check your platform's documentation for how skills are loaded.
+
+## Platform Adaptation
+
+Skills use Claude Code tool names. Non-CC platforms: see `references/mindforge-tools.md` (Codex) for tool equivalents. Gemini CLI users get the tool mapping loaded automatically via GEMINI.md.
+
+# Using Skills
+
+## The Rule
+
+**Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action.** Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should invoke the skill to check. If an invoked skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to use it.
+
+```dot
+digraph skill_flow {
+    "User message received" [shape=doublecircle];
+    "About to EnterPlanMode?" [shape=doublecircle];
+    "Already brainstormed?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Invoke brainstorming skill" [shape=box];
+    "Might any skill apply?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Invoke MindForge Skill tool" [shape=box];
+    "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" [shape=box];

+    "About to EnterPlanMode?" -> "Already brainstormed?";

+    "Might any skill apply?" -> "Invoke MindForge Skill tool" [label="yes, even 1%"];
+    "Might any skill apply?" -> "Respond (including clarifications)" [label="definitely not"];
+    "Invoke MindForge Skill tool" -> "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'";
+    "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" -> "Has checklist?";
+    "Has checklist?" -> "Create TodoWrite todo per item" [label="yes"];
+    "Has checklist?" -> "Follow skill exactly" [label="no"];
+    "Create TodoWrite todo per item" -> "Follow skill exactly";
+}
+```
+
+## Red Flags
+
+These thoughts mean STOP—you're rationalizing:
+
+| Thought | Reality |
+|---------|---------|
+| "This is just a simple question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. |
+| "I need more context first" | Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions. |
+| "Let me explore the codebase first" | Skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first. |
+| "I can check git/files quickly" | Files lack conversation context. Check for skills. |
+| "Let me gather information first" | Skills tell you HOW to gather information. |
+| "This doesn't need a formal skill" | If a skill exists, use it. |
+| "I remember this skill" | Skills evolve. Read current version. |
+| "This doesn't count as a task" | Action = task. Check for skills. |
+| "The skill is overkill" | Simple things become complex. Use it. |
+| "I'll just do this one thing first" | Check BEFORE doing anything. |
+| "This feels productive" | Undisciplined action wastes time. Skills prevent this. |
+| "I know what that means" | Knowing the concept ≠ using the skill. Invoke it. |
+
+## Skill Priority
+
+When multiple skills could apply, use this order:
+
+1. **Process skills first** (brainstorming, debugging) - these determine HOW to approach the task
+2. **Implementation skills second** (frontend-design, mcp-builder) - these guide execution
+
+"Let's build X" → brainstorming first, then implementation skills.
+"Fix this bug" → debugging first, then domain-specific skills.
+
+## Skill Types
+
+**Rigid** (TDD, debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline.
+
+**Flexible** (patterns): Adapt principles to context.
+
+The skill itself tells you which.
+
+## User Instructions
+
+Instructions say WHAT, not HOW. "Add X" or "Fix Y" doesn't mean skip workflows.

+# Codex Tool Mapping
+
+Skills use Claude Code tool names. When you encounter these in a skill, use your platform equivalent:
+
+| Skill references | Codex equivalent |
+|-----------------|------------------|
+| `Task` tool (dispatch subagent) | `spawn_agent` (see [Named agent dispatch](#named-agent-dispatch)) |
+| Multiple `Task` calls (parallel) | Multiple `spawn_agent` calls |
+| Task returns result | `wait` |
+| Task completes automatically | `close_agent` to free slot |
+| `TodoWrite` (task tracking) | `update_plan` |
+| `Skill` tool (invoke a skill) | Skills load natively — just follow the instructions |
+| `Read`, `Write`, `Edit` (files) | Use your native file tools |
+| `Bash` (run commands) | Use your native shell tools |
+
+## Subagent dispatch requires multi-agent support
+
+Add to your Codex config (`~/.codex/config.toml`):
+
+```toml
+[features]
+multi_agent = true
+```
+
+This enables `spawn_agent`, `wait`, and `close_agent` for skills like `dispatching-parallel-agents` and `mindforge-swarm-execution`.
+
+## Named agent dispatch
+
+Claude Code skills reference named agent types like `mindforge:code-reviewer`.
+Codex does not have a named agent registry — `spawn_agent` creates generic agents
+from built-in roles (`default`, `explorer`, `worker`).
+
+When a skill says to dispatch a named agent type:
+
+1. Find the agent's prompt file (e.g., `agents/code-reviewer.md` or the skill's
+   local prompt template like `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md`)
+2. Read the prompt content
+3. Fill any template placeholders (`{BASE_SHA}`, `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}`, etc.)
+4. Spawn a `worker` agent with the filled content as the `message`
+
+| Skill instruction | Codex equivalent |
+|-------------------|------------------|
+| `Task tool (mindforge:code-reviewer)` | `spawn_agent(agent_type="worker", message=...)` with `code-reviewer.md` content |
+| `Task tool (general-purpose)` with inline prompt | `spawn_agent(message=...)` with the same prompt |
+
+### Message framing
+
+The `message` parameter is user-level input, not a system prompt. Structure it
+for maximum instruction adherence:
+
+```
+Your task is to perform the following. Follow the instructions below exactly.
+
+<agent-instructions>
+[filled prompt content from the agent's .md file]
+</agent-instructions>
+
+Execute this now. Output ONLY the structured response following the format
+specified in the instructions above.
+```
+
+- Use task-delegation framing ("Your task is...") rather than persona framing ("You are...")
+- Wrap instructions in XML tags — the model treats tagged blocks as authoritative
+- End with an explicit execution directive to prevent summarization of the instructions
+
+### When this workaround can be removed
+
+This approach compensates for Codex's plugin system not yet supporting an `agents`
+field in `plugin.json`. When `RawPluginManifest` gains an `agents` field, the
+plugin can symlink to `agents/` (mirroring the existing `skills/` symlink) and
+skills can dispatch named agent types directly.
+
+## Environment Detection
+
+Skills that create worktrees or finish branches should detect their
+environment with read-only git commands before proceeding:
+
+```bash
+GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
+GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
+BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
+```
+
+- `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` → already in a linked worktree (skip creation)
+- `BRANCH` empty → detached HEAD (cannot branch/push/PR from sandbox)
+
+See `using-git-worktrees` Step 0 and `mindforge-ship_extended`
+Step 1 for how each skill uses these signals.
+
+## Codex App Finishing
+
+When the sandbox blocks branch/push operations (detached HEAD in an
+externally managed worktree), the agent commits all work and informs
+the user to use the App's native controls:
+
+- **"Create branch"** — names the branch, then commit/push/PR via App UI
+- **"Hand off to local"** — transfers work to the user's local checkout
+
+The agent can still run tests, stage files, and output suggested branch
+names, commit messages, and PR descriptions for the user to copy.

+# Gemini CLI Tool Mapping
+
+Skills use Claude Code tool names. When you encounter these in a skill, use your platform equivalent:

+| `Task` tool (dispatch subagent) | No equivalent — Gemini CLI does not support subagents |
+
+## No subagent support
+
+Gemini CLI has no equivalent to Claude Code's `Task` tool. Skills that rely on subagent dispatch (`mindforge-swarm-execution`, `dispatching-parallel-agents`) will fall back to single-session execution via `mindforge-execute-phase_extended`.
+
+## Additional Gemini CLI tools
+
+These tools are available in Gemini CLI but have no Claude Code equivalent:
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `list_directory` | List files and subdirectories |
+| `save_memory` | Persist facts to GEMINI.md across sessions |
+| `ask_user` | Request structured input from the user |
+| `tracker_create_task` | Rich task management (create, update, list, visualize) |
+| `enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode` | Switch to read-only research mode before making changes |

+description: Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
+---
+
+# Dispatching Parallel Agents
+
+## Overview
+
+You delegate tasks to specialized agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions and context, you ensure they stay focused and succeed at their task. They should never inherit your session's context or history — you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination work.
+
+When you have multiple unrelated failures (different test files, different subsystems, different bugs), investigating them sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel.
+
+**Core principle:** Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.
+
+## When to Use
+
+```dot
+digraph when_to_use {
+    "Multiple failures?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Are they independent?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Single agent investigates all" [shape=box];
+    "One agent per problem domain" [shape=box];
+    "Can they work in parallel?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Sequential agents" [shape=box];
+    "Parallel dispatch" [shape=box];
+
+    "Multiple failures?" -> "Are they independent?" [label="yes"];
+    "Are they independent?" -> "Single agent investigates all" [label="no - related"];
+    "Are they independent?" -> "Can they work in parallel?" [label="yes"];
+    "Can they work in parallel?" -> "Parallel dispatch" [label="yes"];
+    "Can they work in parallel?" -> "Sequential agents" [label="no - shared state"];
+}
+```
+
+**Use when:**
+- 3+ test files failing with different root causes
+- Multiple subsystems broken independently
+- Each problem can be understood without context from others
+- No shared state between investigations
+
+**Don't use when:**
+- Failures are related (fix one might fix others)
+- Need to understand full system state
+- Agents would interfere with each other
+
+## The Pattern
+
+### 1. Identify Independent Domains
+
+Group failures by what's broken:
+- File A tests: Tool approval flow
+- File B tests: Batch completion behavior
+- File C tests: Abort functionality
+
+Each domain is independent - fixing tool approval doesn't affect abort tests.
+
+### 2. Create Focused Agent Tasks
+
+Each agent gets:
+- **Specific scope:** One test file or subsystem
+- **Clear goal:** Make these tests pass
+- **Constraints:** Don't change other code
+- **Expected output:** Summary of what you found and fixed
+
+### 3. Dispatch in Parallel
+
+```typescript
+// In Claude Code / AI environment
+Task("Fix agent-tool-abort.test.ts failures")
+Task("Fix batch-completion-behavior.test.ts failures")
+Task("Fix tool-approval-race-conditions.test.ts failures")
+// All three run concurrently
+```
+
+### 4. Review and Integrate
+
+When agents return:
+- Read each summary
+- Verify fixes don't conflict
+- Run full test suite
+- Integrate all changes
+
+## Agent Prompt Structure
+
+Good agent prompts are:
+1. **Focused** - One clear problem domain
+2. **Self-contained** - All context needed to understand the problem
+3. **Specific about output** - What should the agent return?
+
+```markdown
+Fix the 3 failing tests in src/agents/agent-tool-abort.test.ts:
+
+1. "should abort tool with partial output capture" - expects 'interrupted at' in message
+2. "should handle mixed completed and aborted tools" - fast tool aborted instead of completed
+3. "should properly track pendingToolCount" - expects 3 results but gets 0
+
+These are timing/race condition issues. Your task:
+
+1. Read the test file and understand what each test verifies
+2. Identify root cause - timing issues or actual bugs?
+3. Fix by:
+   - Replacing arbitrary timeouts with event-based waiting
+   - Fixing bugs in abort implementation if found
+   - Adjusting test expectations if testing changed behavior
+
+Do NOT just increase timeouts - find the real issue.
+
+Return: Summary of what you found and what you fixed.
+```
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+**❌ Too broad:** "Fix all the tests" - agent gets lost
+**✅ Specific:** "Fix agent-tool-abort.test.ts" - focused scope
+
+**❌ No context:** "Fix the race condition" - agent doesn't know where
+**✅ Context:** Paste the error messages and test names
+
+**❌ No constraints:** Agent might refactor everything
+**✅ Constraints:** "Do NOT change production code" or "Fix tests only"
+
+**❌ Vague output:** "Fix it" - you don't know what changed
+**✅ Specific:** "Return summary of root cause and changes"
+
+## When NOT to Use
+
+**Related failures:** Fixing one might fix others - investigate together first
+**Need full context:** Understanding requires seeing entire system
+**Exploratory debugging:** You don't know what's broken yet
+**Shared state:** Agents would interfere (editing same files, using same resources)
+
+## Real Example from Session
+
+**Scenario:** 6 test failures across 3 files after major refactoring
+
+**Failures:**
+- agent-tool-abort.test.ts: 3 failures (timing issues)
+- batch-completion-behavior.test.ts: 2 failures (tools not executing)
+- tool-approval-race-conditions.test.ts: 1 failure (execution count = 0)
+
+**Decision:** Independent domains - abort logic separate from batch completion separate from race conditions
+
+**Dispatch:**
+```
+Agent 1 → Fix agent-tool-abort.test.ts
+Agent 2 → Fix batch-completion-behavior.test.ts
+Agent 3 → Fix tool-approval-race-conditions.test.ts
+```
+
+**Results:**
+- Agent 1: Replaced timeouts with event-based waiting
+- Agent 2: Fixed event structure bug (threadId in wrong place)
+- Agent 3: Added wait for async tool execution to complete
+
+**Integration:** All fixes independent, no conflicts, full suite green
+
+**Time saved:** 3 problems solved in parallel vs sequentially
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+1. **Parallelization** - Multiple investigations happen simultaneously
+2. **Focus** - Each agent has narrow scope, less context to track
+3. **Independence** - Agents don't interfere with each other
+4. **Speed** - 3 problems solved in time of 1
+
+## Verification
+
+After agents return:
+1. **Review each summary** - Understand what changed
+2. **Check for conflicts** - Did agents edit same code?
+3. **Run full suite** - Verify all fixes work together
+4. **Spot check** - Agents can make systematic errors
+
+## Real-World Impact
+
+From debugging session (2025-10-03):
+- 6 failures across 3 files
+- 3 agents dispatched in parallel
+- All investigations completed concurrently
+- All fixes integrated successfully
+- Zero conflicts between agent changes
