+## 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 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:

 ```
 
-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.
