 ## Rules
 
-1. Reproduce or restate the failure before changing code.
-2. Use scip-query to identify entry points, call paths, data flow, and blast radius. Do not debug from filename guesses alone.
-3. Prefer one narrow fix over broad cleanup. If cleanup is also needed, record it after the bug fix unless it is required for correctness.
-4. Verify the fix with the repo's test or smoke command, then run `scip-verify`.

-- error text or wrong output;
-- suspected time window if it is a regression.
+If no reproduction is provided, build the smallest runnable reproduction from existing tests, scripts, CLI, or app entry points.
 
-If the user provides no reproduction, make the smallest runnable reproduction you can from the repo's existing tests, scripts, CLI, or app entry points.
+This step is complete only when the mismatch is concrete enough to test or the missing external fact is named.

-# SCIP Directory Architecture
+# scip-directory-architecture
 
-## Overview
+Use this skill to answer where code should live. Directory architecture is the filesystem arrangement of source files by their main reason to change; what distinguishes a good structure is that a maintainer can predict where a concept belongs before reading every import.
 
-Use this skill to turn source layout questions into an evidence-backed architecture review. Do not treat the current folder tree as authoritative, and do not invent an "optimal" structure without proving the ownership concepts from code, tests, docs, and dependency evidence.
+Load shared mechanics from [`../_shared/SKILL.md`](../_shared/SKILL.md).

+## Commands for this skill
 
-An ownership boundary is a folder, package, module, or convention that groups code around one stable responsibility. Its defining trait is that code inside the boundary should usually change for the same kind of reason.

-A migration slice is the smallest set of file moves and import updates that can be verified independently. Its defining trait is that it reduces one structural ambiguity without requiring the whole architecture to move at once.
+## Terms
 
-## Non-Negotiables
+An ownership boundary is a folder, package, module, or convention that groups code around one stable responsibility.
 
-1. Start with evidence, not taste. Refresh the index when stale, then ground claims in `scip-query` outputs plus project docs and tests.
-2. Separate review from migration. A directory architecture review may propose moves; it does not move files unless the user asked for implementation or approved a specific migration slice.
-3. Preserve working conventions. Existing boundaries are not wrong just because they are broad; central folders such as `errors`, `routes`, `workflows`, `schemas`, `contracts`, or `features` may be doing real work.
-4. Do not reward generic `shared`. A shared folder is justified only when the shared concept has a name, owner, and consumers across real boundaries.
-5. Treat messy repos honestly. If ownership concepts are not stable, produce a discovery map and decision list instead of pretending the repo has a clean target structure.
-6. Prefer small verified moves. Broad reorganizations need staged migration slices with import updates, tests, a fresh scip-query index, and `scip-query diff-gate --json`.
+A target structure is a proposed future layout that expresses an ownership model, not merely a prettier tree.
 
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. Bound the Question
-
-Identify whether the user wants:
-
-- a review of the existing structure;
-- a proposed target structure;
-- a locality config decision;
-- a migration plan;
-- or an actual file-moving implementation.
+A migration slice is the smallest set of file moves and import updates that can be verified independently.
 
-If the user asks for "the best folder structure," translate that into: "What ownership model is supported by this repo's code, tests, product domains, and change history?"
+A slop codebase is a codebase whose files are arranged by accident, convenience, or recent edits rather than stable ownership rules.
 
-### 2. Refresh and Inventory
+## Rules
 
-Run:
+1. Start with evidence, not taste.
+2. Separate review from migration; do not move files unless asked.
+3. Preserve broad boundaries when evidence shows they are intentional.
+4. Do not reward generic `shared` unless the shared concept has a name, owner, and cross-boundary consumers.
+5. For messy repos, produce a discovery map and decisions instead of pretending the target is obvious.
+6. Prefer small verified moves.

-find . -maxdepth 3 -type d | sort
-```
-
-Read durable project guidance before judging structure:
+## Workflow
 
-```bash
-rg -n "architecture|structure|feature|module|boundary|shared|workflow|route|contract|domain|ownership" AGENTS.md README.md docs agent-os .codex -g '!node_modules'
-```
+### 1. Bound the question
 
-Use `rg --files` to sample real files in each important folder. Ignore generated, build, coverage, vendored, and dependency directories unless they are part of the architecture question.
+Classify the request: review, target structure, locality config, migration plan, or implementation.
 
-### 3. Build the Evidence Map
+This step is complete only when the scope and deliverable are explicit.
 
-Use these probes as evidence, not as verdicts:
+### 2. Inventory evidence

 scip-query files <pattern>
 scip-query surface <scope>

 scip-query drift
 ```
 
-For each folder under review, record:
+Also read durable project guidance that names architecture, modules, ownership, routes, workflows, contracts, or domains.
 
-- real-world concept or product area represented by the folder;
-- public exports, entry points, routes, commands, or package surfaces;
-- main consumers and cross-boundary consumers;
-- tests that define the folder's behavior;
-- co-change partners and repeated edit patterns;
-- duplicated or parallel folder patterns;
-- docs or standards that claim ownership rules.
+This step is complete only when each folder under review has evidence for exports, entry points, consumers, tests, co-change partners, and claimed ownership rules.
 
-### 4. Classify Boundary Maturity
+### 3. Classify boundary maturity
 
-Classify each candidate folder:
+Classify each candidate:
 
 - Mature: repeated, documented, and enforced by imports, tests, routes, packages, standards, or review history.
-- Emerging: meaningful and partly repeated, but not yet consistent enough to configure or enforce.
-- Accidental: a convenience bucket, legacy pile, generated artifact, recent edit cluster, or mixed folder with unrelated reasons to change.
+- Emerging: meaningful and partly repeated, but not consistent enough to configure.
+- Accidental: convenience bucket, legacy pile, generated artifact, recent edit cluster, or mixed reasons to change.
 
-A slop codebase is a codebase whose files are arranged by accident, convenience, or recent edits rather than stable ownership rules. Its defining trait is that directory names do not reliably predict where code should live. For this case, stop at discovery and decision prompts unless the user explicitly asks for a first migration slice.
+This step is complete only when mature, emerging, and accidental boundaries are separated.
 
-### 5. Propose the Target Structure
+### 4. Propose structure or decisions
 
-Produce an architecture proposal with this shape:
+Use this shape:

-
-The target structure should name ownership concepts, not just folder labels. Prefer existing names when they already carry meaning. Introduce a new folder only when it removes ambiguity for multiple files or consumers.
-
-### 6. Decide What Not to Move
-
-Explicitly list no-move decisions when:
-
-- a broad consumer set proves a central boundary is useful;
-- a folder is route-facing, package-facing, or contract-facing;
-- consumers cross boundaries because the concept is infrastructure;
-- moving would hide a domain-specific concept under generic `shared`;
-- the evidence is too weak and needs a human ownership decision.
+```
 
-### 7. Implement Only a Migration Slice

-## Output Rules
-
-- Lead with findings and judgments, not command transcripts.
-- Every proposed boundary needs evidence from at least two independent signals or a clear note that it is only a candidate.
-- Every proposed move needs a verification path.
-- For messy repos, output "discovery mode" and decision questions instead of a fake complete architecture.
-- For implementation, never batch unrelated folder moves just because they fit the same target structure.
+Then invoke `scip-verify`. The implementation is complete only when imports, tests, locality signals, and verification are checked.
