Measure first — a frozen evaluation of at least 10 distinct metrics, each scored 1–10 with evidence and the issues found, by a judge that is not the maker — then iterate, researching how others solved the weakest metrics, making one change, re-scoring and keeping only real gains, round after round with no cap, until the scores plateau on every metric.

+ Keep **one accountable integration owner**, who may also do tightly coupled implementation. A specialist
15
+ responsibility is not a continuously running session. Choose one owner, one owner with staged specialist
16
+ contributions, or persistent parallel workstreams according to the actual dependencies. A separate session must
17
+ justify independent checking, focused expertise with bounded context, or a genuinely parallel deliverable. It is a
18

19
+
20
+ When the person explicitly asks for a team or named specialists, provide them, but stage their contributions rather
21
+ than starting a permanent committee. For complex software cover architecture, senior domain development, independent
22
+ security review, QA and deployment/reliability. Compatible duties may share an owner, but an author cannot supply
23
+ its own independent acceptance. Do not add a manager who only forwards status. Use `crew_organization` to declare an explicit organization, goal, expertise map, decision domains, role profiles,
24
+ plan revision and resource envelope before `plan_propose`. The host includes this contract in the same plan card;
25
+ recruitment waits for its recorded approval. Use `appointment` on `crew_spawn` for peer or child placement, a distinct
26
+ system profile and a positive contribution cap. Delegated members can commission colleagues within their scope and
27
+ shared budget without new staffing cards. Legacy sessions still obey root/orchestrator restrictions.
28
+
29
+ Use organization `report` for scoped manager, member, team or passive organization visibility. Only actionable
30
+ recipients are woken. Use `propose` and independent `vote` operations for domain decisions; votes grant no execution
31
+ permissions. Versioned work moves from reported to independently verified to accepted, and changed versions invalidate
32
+ reviews. Read the durable record after restart; do not infer acceptance from a model saying done.
33
+
34
+ Loading this skill does not itself require a team. Small or tightly coupled work stays with one writer and
