pstack-map

name	pstack-map
description	Playbook map from Cursor pstack (Lauren Tan / poteto, MIT): match a playbook, load installed pstack when present, else house skills. House HITL wins on secrets, prod, irreversible git, unknown auth. Use for /pstack-map, pstack, poteto-mode, rigor playbooks, or when the user asks to use pstack without forking it. Not a pstack copy. Not control-graph Outer.

pstack-map

Load rule: This file is the map SoT. Expand references/map.md only to pick a playbook or fallback. Do not paste pstack playbook bodies, principle files, or control-graph / EVA rituals here.

// Signature
PM       : pstack-map (this skill)     // map plane
Pstack   : Lauren Tan pstack (MIT)        // SoT if installed
CG       : control-graph                  // Outer
EVA      : eva-emptiness                  // Inner when emptiness fires
ON       : odysseus-navigator             // judgment

// Axioms
A1  Map; do not copy. pstack bodies stay upstream.
A2  House HITL ⊨ irreversible  (secrets, prod, shared push, CV, auth unknown)
    — overrides pstack "never-block-on-the-human" on those rows only
A3  Cursor-only → skip or name fallback (Graphite land, benny Slack,
    sol/fable Task models, cursor-team-kit deslop)
A4  One home: CG Outer, EVA Inner, ON judgment, orchestrator workers
A5  Credit Lauren Tan / pstack MIT on every emit

Mission: Use pstack rigor on Grok without a second copy of pstack.

Activate / Skip

Signal	Action
/pstack-map · “use pstack” · poteto-mode · rigor playbook	load PM; emit Map
pstack already installed and playbook fits	load that pstack skill after the map; do not rewrite it
≤2-file obvious fix	Skip map lecture; one next step
user asked to fork/vendor pstack	refuse copy; point at NOTICE.md

Vendor verdict (this repo)

Move into this repo	Keep upstream	Skip on Grok
this map + HITL override	21 principles, 22 playbooks, unslop, how, why, architect, arena, swarm, …	Graphite merge-when-ready, benny, overnight yolo land, automate-me, make-bot-ui

Worth copying later only if: (1) pstack is not installable on the host, and (2) one leaf has no house owner. Then copy one file, keep Lauren Tan copyright, SHA in NOTICE. Default: do not copy.

Steps

1. Match one playbook (table below; full rows in map.md).
2. If pstack installed: load the named pstack skill or /poteto-mode. Else use house.
3. Set hitl: required iff secrets / prod / irreversible git / CV / auth unknown.
4. Name cg_hook / eva_hook. Do not inline Outer or EVA Inner.
5. Emit Map. Credit line required.

Playbook → house (short)

Playbook	House if pstack missing
investigation	how / why / structured-repo-explore
bug-fix, tdd	reproduce → fix → VERIFY cmds
feature, refactoring	CG Inner ≤7; smallest diff
prototype	throwaway; no production path
architect	architecture-synthesis; not coding-as-plan
arena / swarm	concurrent-cli-agents; parent owns VERIFY
interrogate	review + adversarial-audit
babysit	pr-babysit
shipping	tidy-commit-push; no auto-push
autonomous / orchestrate / autopilot-*	CG budgets; HITL on land
authoring a skill	portable-skill-author + skill-design-principles
session pickup / pause	agent-orchestrator resume (gap only)
worktree cleanup	git-worktrees
unslop / technical-writing	unslop if installed; else short formal English

---

Overrides (house wins)

pstack	Here
never-block-on-the-human	proceed on reversible work; pause on A2 rows
Graphite land / merge-when-ready	verify; wait for human push
poteto-agent	explore / coding / review; use poteto-agent only if pstack installed
sol / fable / opus roles	CG fast coding deep review; host default model
/loop until morning	CG max_loop_iters; stop on no_progress×2

Map (emit schema — this skill is SoT)

## Pstack-map
| Field | Value |
|-------|--------|
| **playbook** | (one name or skip) |
| **pstack** | installed: skill-or-mode \| missing |
| **house** | (owner skill names) |
| **cg_hook** | skip \| ORIENT \| PLAN \| HITL_* \| EXECUTE+budget \| VERIFY \| REVIEW_GATE |
| **eva_hook** | skip \| continue \| switch \| Ask |
| **hitl** | none \| required (reason) |

Composition

Concern	Owner	PM does
Outer / budgets / HITL shape	control-graph	cg_hook only
Inner emptiness	eva-emptiness	eva_hook only
hubris / overbuild	odysseus-navigator	optional after Map
dump rewrite	control-feeder	after Feed, map playbook
workers / worktrees	agent-orchestrator · git-worktrees	name, do not restate
pstack playbooks / principles	installed pstack	load; never paste

---

Anti-patterns

¬	Do
vendor pstack into this plugin	map + NOTICE
paste playbook.md into the turn	load the skill
silent Graphite / yolo land	HITL
second control plane	hooks only
drop credit	emit credit row

---

Done when

• One playbook named or skip
• pstack is installed or missing (honest)
• credit row present
• No pstack file copied; no CG/EVA bodies pasted
• hitl=required on A2 rows

Done_when artifact: Map block in the turn.
