+## Two-axis naming convention
+
+> **Read once at the top of this file; the rest of the skill is written against it.**
+
+The `.peaks/` workspace is partitioned by **two orthogonal axes**. Every path in this SKILL.md uses one of them; mixing them is the original `.peaks/<sid>/` / `.peaks/_runtime/<sid>/` bug class this slice corrects.
+
+| Axis | Path root | Holds | When to use |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **change-id axis** (reviewable artifacts) | `.peaks/<changeId>/...` | PRD, RD plan, code-review, security-review, test-cases, handoff capsules, gate targets | The artifact should be reviewable on its own and survives across sessions for the same change. Change-id is the unit of work. |
+| **session-id axis** (ephemeral state) | `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/...` | Session bindings (`.peaks/_runtime/session.json`), live in-flight state, the per-session project-scan and tech-doc scaffold while the session is open | The artifact is session-scoped and only meaningful while the parent session is live. |
+| **sub-agent axis** | `.peaks/_sub_agents/<sessionId>/...` | Sub-agent dispatch records, sub-agent heartbeats, per-sub-agent shared channel entries, sub-agent artifact outputs | A sub-agent ran in a parent session. The axis nests under the parent session-id; sub-agent outputs are flushed into the change-id root on commit. |
+
+**Which CLI commands operate on which axis:**
+
+- **change-id axis** (reviewable artifacts): `peaks request init`, `peaks request transition`, `peaks request show`, `peaks request lint`, `peaks request repair-status`, `peaks scan diff-vs-scope`, `peaks scan acceptance-coverage`. Inputs reference `.peaks/<changeId>/...`.
+- **session-id axis** (ephemeral state): `peaks session info`, `peaks session start`, `peaks session finish`, `peaks session list`. Reads/writes `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/session.json`.
+- **sub-agent axis** (under parent session-id): `peaks sub-agent dispatch`, `peaks sub-agent heartbeat`, `peaks sub-agent share`, `peaks sub-agent shared-read`. All output paths are under `.peaks/_sub_agents/<sessionId>/...`.
+
+**Placeholder convention used in this file:**
+
+- `<changeId>` / `<change-id>` — the change-id axis. Use when describing a path that lives at `.peaks/<changeId>/...` (root-level, NOT inside `_runtime/`).
+- `<sessionId>` / `<session-id>` — the session-id axis. Use when describing a path that lives at `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/...` or `.peaks/_sub_agents/<sessionId>/...`. The long form `<session-id>` is used inside bash / shell examples where `<sessionId>` would break parsing.
+- The bare `<sid>` placeholder is **forbidden** in new content — it is ambiguous between the two axes. Legacy occurrences are replaced by this convention; new content must use the right axis label.
+
+**Cross-references:**
+
+- Slice `2026-06-05-change-id-as-unit-of-work` (commits `48958fc` + `928eb53`) — established the change-id axis as the canonical root for reviewable artifacts (`src/shared/change-id.ts:131,335`, `src/services/scan/acceptance-coverage-service.ts:155`).
+- Slice `005-session-runtime-dir-regression` (commit `178a47e`) — added the `getSessionDir()` resolver at `src/services/session/getSessionDir.ts` and routed 4 stragglers that were constructing `.peaks/${sessionId}` (no `_runtime/`) through the canonical resolver. Defense-in-depth scan: `tests/unit/services/session/session-dir-canonical.test.ts`.
+- Slice `006-5th-writer-changeid-path` (this slice) — disambiguates the SKILL.md placeholders and adds the regression test `tests/unit/skills/skills-skill-md-naming.test.ts` that mechanically enforces (a) zero bare `<sid>`, (b) every `.peaks/<X>/` reference has an axis label, (c) the "Two-axis naming convention" callout is present in `peaks-solo`, `peaks-rd`, `peaks-qa`.

 These two contracts are non-negotiable. The previous prose-only phrasing let the LLM skip the browser gate entirely when an auth wall appeared, and let screenshots land in the project root because the LLM forgot to pass `filename`. Both fail modes are blocking violations; the rules below are what a reviewer should hold the skill to.
 
-### Contract 1 — Screenshot path is mandatory and must land under .peaks/<sid>/qa/screenshots/
+### Contract 1 — Screenshot path is mandatory and must land under .peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/screenshots/
 
-Every `mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot` call **MUST** pass `filename` whose absolute path is **inside** `.peaks/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/`. Concrete form:
+Every Playwright screenshot tool call (via `peaks mcp call --capability playwright-mcp.browser-validation --tool browser_take_screenshot --args-json '<args>' --json`) **MUST** pass `filename` (in the args object) whose absolute path is **inside** `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/screenshots/`. Concrete form:
 
 ```bash
-mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot \
-  filename=".peaks/<sid>/qa/screenshots/<state-or-step>.png" \
-  fullPage=true

+  --tool browser_take_screenshot \
+  --args-json '{"filename":".peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/<state-or-step>.png","fullPage":true}' \
+  --json
 ```
 
-The default behaviour of Playwright MCP when `filename` is omitted or points outside that directory is to write a screenshot to the current working directory, which leaves `.png` files scattered at the project root. **This is a workflow violation.** If a screenshot does land outside `.peaks/<sid>/qa/screenshots/` for any reason (e.g. an upstream tool wrote there), QA MUST move it into that directory before declaring the test report complete; do not commit project-root `.png` files. Sanitise before retention: no login URLs, cookies, headers, tokens, storage state, browser traces, or screenshots/logs containing PII or SSO/MFA material.

 This rule is enforced by a Peaks-Cli preflight check inside this skill:
 
 ```bash
 # After every browser_take_screenshot batch and before declaring the test report complete:
-ls .peaks/<sid>/qa/screenshots/*.png 2>&1
+ls .peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/*.png 2>&1
 #   Expected: at least one .png file under the screenshots directory.

Use `mcp__playwright__browser_navigate` (launches headed browser), `mcp__playwright__browser_click` (simulate clicks on tabs/buttons/links), `mcp__playwright__browser_type` (type into inputs), `mcp__playwright__browser_select_option` (select dropdowns), `mcp__playwright__browser_fill_form` (fill complete forms), `mcp__playwright__browser_wait_for` (wait for async rendering), and `mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot` (capture state after each interaction). If login, CAPTCHA, SSO, or MFA appears, the visible browser is already open; wait for the user to complete login and explicitly confirm completion before continuing. Capture sanitized interaction sequences, sanitized screenshots per state, sanitized console (`browser_console_messages`) and network (`browser_network_requests`) failures. Close with `mcp__playwright__browser_close` when done. (Chrome DevTools MCP is an optional secondary surface for CDP inspection of an already-running Chrome on `:9222`; it does NOT launch a browser and cannot simulate user interaction.)
+4. **Frontend browser validation** — when the repository has a frontend or the change affects UI, launch the app and use Playwright MCP for real browser end-to-end validation. This means **simulating real user operations**: clicking buttons, filling forms, selecting dropdowns, navigating between pages, waiting for async data to render, and verifying each resulting state. Static screenshots without interaction are insufficient. Confirm Playwright MCP is installed via `peaks mcp list --json`; install through `peaks mcp plan/apply --capability playwright-mcp.browser-validation --yes` if missing. Route every browser interaction through the canonical `peaks mcp call` envelope:
+
+   ```
+   peaks mcp call --capability playwright-mcp.browser-validation --tool <toolName> --args-json '<argsObject>' --json
+   ```
+
+   The Playwright tool names that drive validation are: `browser_navigate` (launches headed browser), `browser_click` (simulate clicks on tabs/buttons/links), `browser_type` (type into inputs), `browser_select_option` (select dropdowns), `browser_fill_form` (fill complete forms), `browser_wait_for` (wait for async rendering), `browser_take_screenshot` (capture state after each interaction), `browser_close` (close the browser when done), `browser_console_messages` (read console failures), and `browser_network_requests` (read network failures). The bare server-and-tool MCP prefix is owned by the LLM runtime, not by the skill body — never bake the prefix into this SKILL.md or any artifact QA emits. If login, CAPTCHA, SSO, or MFA appears, the visible browser is already open; wait for the user to complete login and explicitly confirm completion before continuing. Capture sanitized interaction sequences, sanitized screenshots per state, sanitized console (`browser_console_messages`) and network (`browser_network_requests`) failures. (Chrome DevTools MCP is an optional secondary surface for CDP inspection of an already-running Chrome on `:9222`; it does NOT launch a browser and cannot simulate user interaction.)
 5. **Browser-error feedback loop** — if Playwright MCP observation surfaces a page error, console exception, broken network request, hydration/render failure, or visible regression, return the work to RD/development with the exact evidence. Do not pass QA until the fixed build is retested in the browser.
 6. **Security check** — run security review for the changed surface and dependency/config changes. Record findings, fixes, and unresolved risks.
 7. **Performance check** — run the project’s available performance check, build-size check, Lighthouse-equivalent check, or browser performance inspection appropriate to the change. Record baseline/after numbers when available.
