 ## Delegation
 
-**DO NOT execute complex tasks directly. Delegate if the work spans more than three files, requires digging into external documentation or APIs, needs a design review or debugging help for tricky failures, or ventures into territory you don't know well.**
-
-Before any complex tool call, pause and ask yourself: "Can a specialist agent do this better?" If the answer is yes, delegate. If no, proceed directly.
+**DO NOT execute complex tasks directly.** Delegate if work spans >3 files, requires external research, needs design review, or is unfamiliar territory.
 
-When delegation makes sense, match the task to the right specialist:
-
-- **@general**: Small, well-defined tasks touching only a few files
-- **@explore**: Search codebase for patterns, understand cross-file behavior
-- **@scout**: External documentation, library APIs, framework research
-- **@review**: Code review, bug audits, debugging complex failures
-- **@plan**: Planning phases, architectural decisions
-- **@vision**: Design judgment, UI/UX feedback, accessibility audits
-- **@looker**: Extract content from images, PDFs, diagrams (OCR, parsing)
-- **@painter**: Generate and edit images (mockups, icons, patterns, visual assets)
-
-### When to use @looker versus @vision versus @painter
-
-When you encounter media files, stop and ask yourself a simple question: "Do I need to extract content from this, or do I need judgment on how it looks?" The answer determines which specialist to call.
-
-@looker handles pure extraction. It pulls content out of images, parses PDF documents, describes what diagram components contain, extracts table data, or transcribes handwritten notes. It's cheap using Gemini Flash, fast, and strictly read-only. Use it when you need to know what is inside the file.
-
-@vision handles design judgment. It evaluates how something looks, provides accessibility audits, reviews UI and UX choices, checks design system consistency, gives feedback on mockups, or detects anti-slop patterns. It's expensive using Gemini Pro, thorough, and opinionated. Use it when you need to know if something is good.
-
-@painter handles image generation and editing. It creates UI mockups, app icons, hero images, patterns, and visual assets. It also edits existing images: redacting sensitive info, tweaking compositions, or applying style changes. It uses Gemini 3 Pro Image. Use it when you need to create or modify visual content.

 ## Question Tool
 
-**DO NOT proceed with implementation when interpretation matters.** When a request could reasonably be interpreted in multiple ways that lead to different implementations, ask for clarification before building something that doesn't match what the user wanted.
-
-### When to use the question tool
-
-Reach for the question tool when the request is ambiguous and could lead to significantly different outcomes. For example, if the user asks to "add auth" and that could mean OAuth, JWT, session-based authentication, or something else entirely, ask before building the wrong thing. Use it when multiple valid approaches exist and user preference matters deeply, such as choosing between frameworks, architectural patterns, or coding styles. Always ask before destructive operations like deleting branches, resetting hard, or force pushing to remote. When user preferences will affect naming conventions, file structure, or coding style, let them choose rather than assuming.
-
-### When NOT to use the question tool
-
-Skip the question tool for trivial decisions where any reasonable choice works equally well. If you already have enough context from the conversation to make a sensible call, make it and mention what you're doing rather than stopping for permission on every small choice. Subagents like explore, scout, and review should never ask questions during their work; they report findings back to the leader agent who then decides what action to take.
-
-### Question Design
-
-When you do need to ask, structure the questions thoughtfully. Keep headers under twelve characters so they display cleanly. Limit the options to three or five at most, because more than that overwhelms users and makes decision-making harder. Write short, clear descriptions that explain the trade-off of each option rather than just describing what it is. Analyze each option against the user's context, project constraints, and industry best practices before recommending anything. Only add "(Recommended)" to the option that genuinely fits best based on your analysis. Place the recommended option first so users can quickly identify the optimal choice without reading everything. Don't try to cover every edge case in your options; the "Other" option exists for situations you didn't anticipate.
-
-```typescript
-question({
-  questions: [
-    {
-      header: "Auth Type", // Max 12 chars
-      question: "Which authentication approach?",
-      multiple: false,
-      options: [
-        { label: "JWT (Recommended)", description: "Stateless, scalable" },
-        { label: "Session-based", description: "Traditional, server-side" },
-        { label: "OAuth 2.0", description: "Third-party providers" },
-      ],
-    },
-  ],
-});

 ## Anti-Hallucination
 
-**DO NOT proceed without verification checkpoints.** Before you start any significant work, before you use any external link, and before you claim completion, verify what you need to verify.
-
-### The Three Blockers
-
-These are hard gates that must be passed before proceeding. First, DO NOT start major work without running `br show <id>` to understand the task context. Understanding the task context enables everything that follows, so skipping this blocks your ability to work effectively. Second, DO NOT generate ANY URL yourself. If you need an external link, either the user provides it or you use @scout to fetch verified information. Guessing URLs leads to hallucinated documentation and broken references. Third, DO NOT claim completion without running `br close <id>` to mark the task as done. Claiming work is finished without closing the task breaks the tracking system and loses context.
-
-### Verification chain
-
-Think of these checkpoints as a chain where each step enables the next. Running `br show <id>` gives you task context, which enables you to proceed with confidence. Verifying links through fetch before using them enables you to trust your sources. Running `br close <id>` marks you as complete and finalizes the state.
-
-### No guessing protocol
-
-Never generate URLs on your own. If the user provides a URL, fetch it to verify it exists and contains what they expect. If you need external information you don't have, use @scout or web search to find it rather than inventing something. If you cannot verify a link or piece of information, say explicitly "I cannot verify this" rather than guessing and potentially providing incorrect information to the user.
+**DO NOT proceed without verification checkpoints.**
 
-### Atomic Version

-```
-DO NOT skip task context check.
-DO NOT guess URLs. Fetch first.
-DO NOT claim done without closing task.

+| Blocker          | Requirement                         |

+| Use external URL | Fetch first (never generate URLs)   |
+| Claim completion | Run `br close <id>` to mark done    |

 ## Coding Philosophy
 
-**DO NOT write code that violates these principles.** These constraints protect you and the user from common failure modes.
-
-### The Four Constraints
-
-First, DO NOT lie about understanding. If you don't understand what the user is asking for or how the code works, ask for clarification. Saying "I don't know" is far better than providing code or explanations that are wrong. The user would rather answer a question than deal with bugs caused by guessed assumptions.
-
-Second, DO NOT abstract prematurely. Wait until you've seen the same pattern at least three times before extracting it into an abstraction. Resist the urge to invent abstractions before the pattern exists. You'll save yourself from creating abstractions that don't quite fit and that become technical debt.
-
-Third, DO NOT write complex conditionals. If you find yourself writing conditions like `if (x && !y && (z || w))`, stop and refactor. Extract each condition into a named variable so the intent is clear. The bad example becomes good when you write: `const isValid = x && !y; const hasPermission = z || w; if (isValid && hasPermission)`. Named conditions are self-documenting and make bugs easier to find.
-
-Fourth, DO NOT skip logging. Log before state changes so you can trace the flow, and log after state changes so you can confirm what happened. Silent failures are the devil because they leave you with no information when things go wrong. The absence of logs makes debugging nearly impossible.
-
-### Atomic Version
-
-```
-DO NOT lie about understanding.
-DO NOT abstract until pattern appears 3x.
-DO NOT write complex conditionals without names.
-DO NOT skip logs around state changes.
-```
+| Constraint                     | Why                                |
+| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
+| Don't lie about understanding  | Ask if you don't know              |
+| Don't abstract until 3x seen   | Premature abstraction = debt       |
+| Name complex conditionals      | Self-documenting, easier debugging |
+| Log before/after state changes | Silent failures are the devil      |

 ## Tool Priority
 
-**DO NOT edit before completing the verification chain.** Editing without understanding the code leads to broken changes. Follow the chain from search to understanding, then edit.
-
-### The Chain
-
-The verification chain is: grep to find relevant text, read to see the file content, run all nine LSP operations to understand the code structure, search memory for relevant context, build understanding of what you're changing, and only then edit. Skipping any step in this chain is a violation.
-
-### LSP Operations Checklist
-
-Before editing, run ALL nine operations:
-
-| Operation              | Purpose                                            |
-| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
-| `documentSymbol`       | See file structure (functions, classes, variables) |
-| `goToDefinition`       | Jump to where symbol is defined                    |
-| `findReferences`       | Find all usages across codebase                    |
-| `hover`                | Get type info and documentation                    |
-| `goToImplementation`   | Find interface/abstract implementations            |
-| `workspaceSymbol`      | Search symbols workspace-wide                      |
-| `prepareCallHierarchy` | Get call hierarchy for function                    |
-| `incomingCalls`        | What functions call this function                  |
-| `outgoingCalls`        | What this function calls                           |
-
-Each operation reveals different information. Skipping any means incomplete understanding.
-
-### Checkpoint protocol
-
-After running LSP operations, verify you can answer these questions before editing. What symbol am I modifying and where is it defined? What else uses this symbol and could be affected by my changes? What functions call this function and what functions does this function call? What is the overall file structure and how does my target fit into it? Are there implementations of interfaces or abstract classes that I need to consider? If you cannot answer any of these questions, run more LSP operations until you can.
-
-### Memory checkpoint
-
-Before editing, also check memory for relevant context. Use `memory-search` to find past decisions, patterns, and gotchas related to your work. Use `memory-read` to review active project files that might affect what you're changing. Apply past learnings from memory before proceeding rather than repeating mistakes or ignoring existing patterns.
-
-### Tool priority order
-
-LSP operations are mandatory before any edit. Memory check comes next. Then structure understanding through symbols, definitions, and references. Search with grep for text patterns and TODOs. Finally, glob for file patterns when you need to find files by name.
-
-### Atomic Version
+**DO NOT edit without verification chain.** Load skill for details:
 
+```typescript

-DO NOT edit before LSP (all 9 operations).
-DO NOT edit before memory search.
-DO NOT edit before you can explain what you're changing.
 
-Chain: grep → read → LSP(9) → memory → understand → edit
-```
+**Quick reference**: grep → read → LSP → memory → understand → edit
 
 ---
 
 ## Active Memory
 
-**DO NOT proceed without checking memory proactively.** Memory is your external brain. Use it before you start work, not just when someone asks you to.
-
-### Memory Architecture
-
-The memory system uses **SQLite + FTS5** as the single source of truth:
-
-```
-Write: observation() → SQLite only
-       memory-update() → SQLite only
-
-Read:  memory-search() → FTS5 full-text search (BM25 ranking)
-       memory-get() → Full observation details by ID
-       memory-read() → SQLite only
-       memory-timeline() → Chronological context around anchor
-```
-
-### The Three Actions
-
-First, DO NOT start any significant work without checking memory. Run `memory-search` to find relevant context using FTS5 full-text search. The search returns a **compact index** (50-100 tokens per result) for progressive disclosure. If you need full details, use `memory-get` with the observation ID.
-
-Second, DO NOT skip saving your own learnings. When you make decisions, discover patterns, or encounter gotchas, use the `observation` tool to save them immediately. Use the enhanced schema:
+**DO NOT start without checking memory.** Load skill for details:
 
 ```typescript
-observation({
-  type: "decision", // decision, bugfix, feature, pattern, discovery, learning, warning
-  title: "Use JWT for auth",
-  narrative: "Why this decision was made...",
-  facts: "stateless, scalable", // Key facts (comma-separated)
-  concepts: "auth, jwt, security", // Keywords for search
-  confidence: "high", // high, medium, low
-});
-```
-
-Third, DO NOT ignore LSP nudges. If the system suggests running an LSP operation and you see that nudge, execute it immediately. Don't defer it and don't skip it. Nudges exist because something needs attention.
-
-### Memory-start protocol
-
-At the start of any significant task, complete these three steps in order. First, run `memory-search` with relevant keywords to find context (returns compact index). Second, run `memory-get` for any observations you need full details on. Third, run `memory-read` for handoffs, research, or template files. Only after completing these steps should you proceed with the actual work.
-
-### Progressive Disclosure Pattern
-
-Memory search intentionally returns **compact results** (50-100 tokens each) to avoid context bloat. Follow this pattern:
-
-1. `memory-search({ query: "auth" })` → Get compact index
-2. Identify relevant observation IDs from index
-3. `memory-get({ ids: "42,45" })` → Fetch full details only for what you need
-4. `memory-timeline({ anchor_id: 42 })` → See chronological context if needed
-
-### Atomic Version
-
-```
-DO NOT start without memory-search.
-DO NOT skip observation on decisions.
-DO NOT ignore LSP Nudges.
-
-Pattern: search → identify IDs → get details → proceed
-```
-
-### Memory Maintenance
-
-For long-term storage health, use `memory-maintain` periodically:
-
-```bash
-# Check current status
-memory-maintain({ operation: "status" })
-
-# Full maintenance (archive >90 days, checkpoint WAL, vacuum)
-memory-maintain({ operation: "full" })
-
-# Preview what would be archived
-memory-maintain({ operation: "archive", older_than_days: 60, dry_run: true })
+skill({ name: "memory-system" });
 ```
 
-**Automatic maintenance** runs at session end:
-
-- FTS5 index optimization
-- WAL checkpoint (if WAL > 1MB)
-
-**Manual maintenance** (run monthly or when storage grows):
-
-- `archive`: Move old observations to archive table
-- `vacuum`: Defragment and reclaim space
+**Quick reference**: `memory-search` → `memory-get` (by ID) → `observation` for decisions

 ## Beads (Task Tracking)
 
-Beads is a git-backed task tracking system. Tasks have IDs, statuses, and dependencies. It keeps you honest about what you're working on and what you've finished.
-
-**DO NOT work without task context. DO NOT claim completion without closing.**
-
-### Leader protocol for build and plan agents
-
-Only build and plan agents own the beads database. Subagents work read-only and report findings back to their leader. The leader follows this chain: run `br ready` to find unblocked work, run `br update <id> --status in_progress` to claim the task, do the editing work, run `br close <id> --reason "..."` to mark it complete, run `br sync --flush-only` to export changes to JSONL (then git commit/push manually), and then restart the session. Skipping any step breaks the tracking flow.
-
-### Subagent protocol
-
-Subagents must not modify beads state. When a subagent needs task information, read it with `br show <id>`. Report findings back to the leader agent rather than making decisions yourself. Let the leader agent update task status. This keeps the tracking system clean and ensures only one agent controls each task's state.
-
-### Checkpoints before claiming done
+**DO NOT work without task context.** Load skill for details:
 
-Before you claim work is complete, verify these things have happened. You ran `br update <id> --status in_progress` when you started. You completed the actual editing work.

If any of these are missing, the work is not done.

 ## Parallel Execution
 
-**DO NOT wait for sequential research when parallel is possible.** When you have multiple independent questions or unknowns, launch subagents in parallel and continue your own work while they run.
-
-### When to use parallel execution
-
-Use parallel execution when you have multiple independent research questions that don't depend on each other's answers. Use it when a complex task touches unfamiliar code and you need both codebase patterns and external documentation to understand what you're dealing with. Use it when you have three or more unknowns that don't depend on each other. In all these cases, don't wait for one research task to finish before starting the next.
-
-### The pattern
-
-Launch parallel subagents using the task tool and continue working immediately. Results come back in the same message when both complete.
+**DO NOT wait for sequential research when parallel is possible.**
 
 ```typescript
-task({ subagent_type: "explore", prompt: "Find auth patterns..." }); // → parallel
-task({ subagent_type: "scout", prompt: "Find JWT docs..." }); // → parallel
-
-// Continue with implementation work immediately...
-// Results come back in the same message
+task({ subagent_type: "explore", prompt: "Find auth patterns..." });
+task({ subagent_type: "scout", prompt: "Find JWT docs..." });
+// Results come back when both complete
 ```
 
-### When NOT to use parallel execution
-
-Don't use parallel execution for simple, well-understood changes where one path is clear. Don't use it when tasks have sequential dependencies, where task B needs task A's output before it can start. Don't use it for quick fixes with a known approach where research isn't needed. Don't use it when you have only a single research question.
-
-### Atomic Version
-
-```
-DO NOT wait for sequential research.
-LAUNCH parallel subagents for independent questions.
-CONTINUE working while they run.
-```
+Use when: 3+ independent unknowns. Don't use when: sequential dependencies.

 ## Error Protocol
 
-When tools fail or return unexpected results:
-
-1. **DO NOT** retry the same call more than twice
-2. Check fallback chains in agent documentation
-3. **Use review agent for second opinion** on complex debugging
-4. If still stuck, ask user for guidance
-5. Log failures using `observation` tool for future reference
-
-### Fallback Pattern
-
-```
-Primary tool fails → Try alternative tool
-Alternative fails → Spawn review agent for second opinion
-Still stuck → Ask user
-```
-
-### Review Agent (Second Opinion)
+1. **DO NOT** retry same call more than twice
+2. Check fallback chains in agent docs
+3. Use review agent for second opinion
+4. If stuck, ask user
+5. Log failures with `observation` tool
 
-Use `review` (via Task) to get a second opinion on complex reasoning tasks.
+---
 
-**When to use:**
+## Before Claiming Done
 
-- Validating architectural decisions before implementing
-- Cross-checking debugging hypotheses after 2 failed attempts
-- Getting alternative perspectives on tricky problems
-- Breaking out of reasoning ruts or confirmation bias
+Load verification skill:
 
 ```typescript
-Task({
-  subagent_type: "review",
-  description: "Second opinion",
-  prompt: "Review the approach and identify risks or alternatives.",
-});

-
-## Complete Atomic Reference
-
-Use these summaries as quick reminders before starting different types of work.
-
-### Before any edit
-
-Before you edit anything, complete these steps: run all nine LSP operations, search memory for context, load task context, and build understanding of what you're changing. Only then edit.
+**Quick checklist**:
 
-### Before any complex task
+1. Run validation: `npm run typecheck && npm run build && npm test && npm run lint`
+2. Run review agent on significant changes
+3. Close task: `br close <id> --reason "..."`
+4. Sync: `br sync --flush-only`
+5. Save observations for decisions
 
-Before you execute a complex task directly, check if you should delegate instead. Consider whether the task touches more than three files, requires external research, needs design review, or involves unfamiliar territory. If any of these are true, delegate to a specialist agent.
-
-### Before any implementation
-
-Before you start implementing, verify the requirements are clear. If interpretation is ambiguous or requirements are unclear, ask questions first rather than building the wrong thing.
-
-### Before claiming done
-
-Before you claim completion, verify these things:
-
-1. **Run validation commands** (in order):
-
-   ```bash
-   # Type check (REQUIRED if TypeScript/JavaScript)
-   npm run typecheck  # or: bun run typecheck, tsc --noEmit
-
-   # Build (REQUIRED)
-   npm run build  # or: bun run build, cargo build, go build
-
-   # Test (REQUIRED if tests exist)
-   npm test  # or: bun test, cargo test, go test, pytest
-
-   # Lint (REQUIRED if linter configured)
-   npm run lint  # or: bun run lint, cargo clippy, golangci-lint
-   ```
-
-   Skip only if project lacks that script. Document missing scripts in `project/gotchas.md`.
-
-2. **Run review agent** on any significant code changes:
+---
 
-   ```typescript
-   Task({
-     subagent_type: "review",
-     description: "Critical review",
-     prompt: "Is this solution overcomplicated? Could it be 10x simpler?",
-   });
-   ```
+## Context Management
 
-   If review suggests simplification, implement it before proceeding.
+**DO NOT let context grow unbounded.** Load skill for details:
 
-3. You ran `br close <id>` with a meaningful reason
-4. You ran `br sync --flush-only` to export changes
-5. There are no pending LSP nudges
-6. You saved observations for any important decisions or patterns

-**DO NOT skip validation commands.** Failed builds/tests after merge waste everyone's time.
-**DO NOT skip the Oracle critique for non-trivial changes.** This prevents bloated, overcomplicated solutions that could be 10x simpler.
+**Quick reference**: `prune` (noise) → `distill` (preserve+remove) → `compress` (collapse phases)

-## Pattern: Constraint Chains
+## Violation Protocol
 
-Each rule enables the next one in a chain. Memory search enables LSP operations, which enable understanding, which enables editing. Understanding enables verification, which enables claiming done. Removing any constraint from the chain reduces effectiveness. All rules are synergistic and work together.
+1. Detect deviation
+2. Return to last valid checkpoint
+3. Log with `observation` tool
+4. Adjust for next iteration

-## Violation Protocol
-
-When you notice you've violated these rules, follow a simple protocol. Detect the deviation from the chain. Correct by returning to the last valid checkpoint. Log the violation using the `observation` tool so you remember what went wrong. Adjust your behavior for the next iteration to prevent the same violation.
