+# HTOP (SYSCALL MONITOR)
+
+## Invocation
+`/htop` or `/syscall-monitor`
+
+## Behavior
+Provides a real-time (or checkpointed) readout of the agent harness execution state.
+
+When invoked, the system reads from `session_logger.js` and `harness_manager.js` to report:
+1. **Active Syscalls**: Which commands are currently executing in the background.
+2. **Token Usage**: Aggregate token consumption for the current session.
+3. **Task Status**: Which nodes in the DAG orchestrator are `PENDING`, `RUNNING`, or `DONE`.
+4. **Timeouts**: Any tools approaching their 5-minute kill threshold.
+
+## Usage
+Use this command when a marathon agent appears to be stuck, to inspect whether it is waiting on a slow `npm install` or if it has entered an infinite loop.

+# RESUME WORKFLOW
+
+## Invocation
+`/resume [session_id]`
+
+## Behavior
+Tribunal Kit now uses a durable JSONL event log via `session_logger.js`. If a process is killed (OOM, timeout, user interrupt), the state is not lost.
+
+1. **Validation**: Locates the session events in `.agent_session.json`.
+2. **Rehydration**: Replays deterministic pure functions to reconstruct the last known valid state.
+3. **Resumption**: Skips over completed tasks and automatically restarts the task that was interrupted, pulling in the precise context needed for that specific wave.
+
+## Safety Boundaries
+The `/resume` workflow will NEVER blindly replay non-idempotent side effects (e.g., executing a POST request or DROP TABLE) without Human Gate confirmation.

+## Invocation
+`/team-mode [task_prompt]`
+
+## Behavior
+Activates the `swarm_dispatcher.js` using the `--mode dag` flag to execute highly complex, multi-domain tasks.
+
+1. **Decomposition**: The Orchestrator agent splits the `task_prompt` into a Topological DAG.
+2. **Delegation**: Specialized agents (e.g., `frontend-specialist`, `database-architect`) are assigned specific nodes in the graph.
+3. **Parallel Execution**: Independent tasks execute simultaneously.
+4. **Handoffs**: Output from a database task is explicitly passed as context to the dependent frontend task.
+5. **Review**: The entire output is passed through `/tribunal-full` before being marked complete.
+
+## Guardrails
+Team Mode cannot bypass the Human Gate. If any subagent proposes a destructive action, the entire DAG is paused, and the Human Gate Negotiator is summoned.

+# Agent Syscall Guidelines (Tribunal OS)
+
+## Overview
+Tribunal Kit is migrating from allowing agents raw `bash` access to enforcing a strict, sandboxed **Syscall Boundary**. The model must think of tools not as shell commands, but as managed system calls.
+
+## Directives
+1. **Harness Invocation**: Tools MUST be invoked via the `syscall_registry.js` or `harness_manager.js`, not via generic `child_process.exec`.
+2. **Schema Validation**: Every syscall requires a strict JSON payload that matches the expected tool schema.
+3. **Timeouts & Resources**: The registry enforces strict timeouts (e.g., 5 minutes for tests). Agents should not attempt to write custom timeout logic in bash strings.
+4. **Runtime Over Prompt**: Prompt constraints ("Don't delete files") are not enough. The `syscall_registry.js` explicitly whitelists commands (like `npm run build`, `node test.js`) and blocks arbitrary `rm` or `wget` commands.
+
+## Implementation Standard
+When designing new tools for agents, always wrap them in a Syscall definition inside the registry, specifying the exact `command`, `args`, and `cwd`. Never pass unsanitized agent strings directly to the shell.

+## 4. Checkpointing and State Persistence (LangGraph-style)
+
+Shift focus away from clever prompt-engineering tricks and towards structured, graph-based agent topologies (e.g., LangGraph state machines) that support deterministic pausing and resuming.
+- **Durable Event Sourcing**: Every tool call, generated payload, and Human Gate decision must be checkpointed to the Durable Session Log.
+- **Graph-based Topologies**: Organize sub-agents into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) where nodes represent agent execution states and edges represent data flow. 
+- **Resume Capability**: If the LLM context limit is hit or an error occurs, the orchestrator should be able to `/resume` perfectly by replaying the serialized graph state from the session log.

+# AgentShield Security Protocol
+
+## The Threat Model
+When AI Agents parse untrusted source code, issues, or configuration files, they are vulnerable to Prompt Injection. If an agent executes a command containing tainted strings, it could compromise the system.
+
+## Core Mandates
+1. **Never Concatenate Untrusted Input**: Always wrap user-supplied or repository-supplied text in explicit boundaries (e.g. `<user_input>`) before processing.
+2. **Runtime Over Prompt Limits**: Do not rely on "I will not read secrets" in the system prompt. Rely on `syscall_registry.js` to block `cat .env` at the OS level.
+3. **Credential Hunting**: When generating code, ensure `API_KEY`s and `DATABASE_URL`s are pulled from the environment. Never hardcode them in generated output.
+4. **Tool Interaction Integrity**: Any MCP or Syscall tool invocation must pass strict parameter validation (Zod schemas) before dispatching to the host system.
+
+## Execution Rules
+- Before running `/audit`, trigger `security_scan.js` first.
+- If a security violation is found, HALT the workflow. Security failures are non-recoverable without Human Gate intervention.

+- By relying on positional slicing and event-sourced logs, you avoid making irreversible context compaction or summarization decisions in a single prompt.

+# Graph Engineering (DAG Workflow)
+
+## Context
+Standard agent workflows are linear pipelines (Maker -> Reviewer -> Human). But complex tasks (like migrating a database AND updating the frontend) have parallelizable steps with strict choke-points. 
+
+## The DAG Strategy
+The `swarm_dispatcher.js` supports `--mode dag` for processing tasks mapped as a Topological Directed Acyclic Graph.
+
+1. **Node Definition**: Every task is a Node.
+2. **Edges (Dependencies)**: Tasks explicitly declare their dependencies (`dependsOn: ['task_1']`).
+3. **Parallel Execution**: Any nodes with no unresolved dependencies are executed simultaneously (`Promise.allSettled`).
+4. **Cascade Failures**: If `task_1` fails, any task dependent on it is marked `SKIPPED`. The DAG continues executing unrelated branches.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+- ❌ **Forcing a DAG**: Do not use DAG orchestration for a simple one-file bug fix. Linear execution is safer and faster.
+- ❌ **Circular Dependencies**: The Planner Agent must ensure that Task A does not depend on Task B while Task B depends on Task A.

+
+## Mounting repos as local filesystems
+
+To mount Hub repositories or buckets as local filesystems — no download, no copy, no waiting — use `hf-mount`. Files are fetched on demand. GitHub: https://github.com/huggingface/hf-mount
+
+Install: `brew install hf-mount`, or download a binary from https://github.com/huggingface/hf-mount/releases
+
+Some command examples:
+- `hf-mount start repo openai-community/gpt2 /tmp/gpt2` — mount a repo (read-only)
+- `hf-mount start --hf-token $HF_TOKEN bucket myuser/my-bucket /tmp/data` — mount a bucket (read-write)
+- `hf-mount status` / `hf-mount stop /tmp/data` — list or unmount
+
+## Tips
+
+- Use `hf <command> --help` for full options, descriptions, usage, and real-world examples
+- Authenticate with `HF_TOKEN` env var (recommended) or with `--token`
+- Update the CLI with `hf update` (uses the correct command for the detected install method)

+name: hf-cloud-aws-context-discovery
+description: Discover the user's local AWS context (active profile, region, account ID, caller identity) at the start of any AWS task. Use this skill before any other AWS work — deploying to SageMaker, creating resources, calling AWS APIs, or anything that touches an AWS account. Use it especially when the user has not specified a region or profile explicitly, when they say things like "use my AWS account", "deploy to AWS", "use my profile", or when about to make any AWS CLI or SDK call. Never guess the region or account ID — always use this skill to read it from the local configuration first.
+---
+
+# AWS Context Discovery
+
+Before doing any AWS work, read the user's local AWS config. Don't guess the region, and don't ask the user for things their config already answers.
+
+## What to discover
+
+Run these at the start of the AWS work and remember the results for the rest of the session.
+
+### 1. Active profile
+
+`AWS_PROFILE` env var, else `default`. If the user mentioned a profile in their prompt, that overrides. If the named profile doesn't exist in `~/.aws/config`, surface that clearly.
+
+### 2. Region
+
+Resolution order — stop at the first one that produces a value:
+1. Region the user explicitly named in this conversation
+2. `AWS_REGION` env var
+3. `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` env var
+4. `region` field on the active profile in `~/.aws/config`
+5. Ask the user — but only after the first four have failed
+
+Do not fall back to `us-east-1` or any other hardcoded default.
+
+### 3. Credentials, account ID, caller ARN
+
+```bash
+aws sts get-caller-identity --profile <profile> --region <region>
+```
+
+Three purposes in one call: confirms credentials are valid (stop if not), returns the `Account` ID (needed for ARN construction), returns the `Arn` of the caller.
+
+### 4. Identify SSO / assumed-role principals
+
+The `Arn` field tells you what kind of principal this is. The pattern matters because it determines what IAM operations the caller can do.
+
+| ARN pattern | Type | IAM write capability |
+|---|---|---|
+| `arn:aws:iam::<acct>:user/<name>` | IAM user | Depends on attached policies |
+| `arn:aws:sts::<acct>:assumed-role/AWSReservedSSO_<...>/<email>` | **SSO assumed-role** | Typically **none** — can't create/modify IAM roles |
+| `arn:aws:sts::<acct>:assumed-role/<role>/<session>` | Regular assumed-role | Depends on the role |
+
+**If the caller is SSO**, surface this immediately before later skills hit `iam:CreateRole` and fail:
+
+> Heads up: you're authenticated via SSO (`AWSReservedSSO_<PermissionSet>_...`). SSO principals usually can't create IAM roles directly. If we need a SageMaker execution role, I'll look for an existing one first — if none exists, you'll need to ask whoever manages your AWS access to create one.
+
+This is the highest-leverage thing this skill does. Surfacing it now turns a confusing mid-deployment error into a five-second conversation.
+
+## Commands to run
+
+```bash
+# Effective profile and region (faster than parsing config files)
+aws configure list
+
+# Validate credentials and get identity
+aws sts get-caller-identity
+aws sts get-caller-identity --profile <profile-name>  # if a profile was named
+```
+
+`aws configure list` handles env-var overrides and shows the resolved effective values. Prefer it over parsing `~/.aws/config` yourself. If you need to read raw config (e.g. to list profiles), `~/.aws/config` and `~/.aws/credentials` are plain INI files — read-only.
+
+## What to report back
+
+One or two lines, not a wall of text:
+
+> Working with profile `my-profile` in `eu-west-1`, account `123456789012`. You're authenticated via SSO, so we'll need to use an existing IAM role rather than create one.
+
+Don't ask the user to confirm the region you just read from their config — they configured it; that is the confirmation.
+
+If something is wrong (credentials expired, profile doesn't exist, no region anywhere), stop and surface the specific error before continuing.
