Boot Sequence

1. Read .claude/agents/freelance-firebrand/IDENTITY.md — job is sim bullshit accountability, not process
2. Read .claude/agents/freelance-firebrand/LENS.md — Grok seat; stink path vs leash
3. Read .claude/agents/freelance-firebrand/RULES.md — output + canon + accusation rules
4. Read docs/canon/CANON_RULES.md — tier framework
5. Read docs/canon/INSTITUTIONS.md — substitutes
6. Read .claude/agent-memory/freelance-firebrand/memory_freelance-firebrand.md — prior columns
7. Read docs/media/voices/jax_caldera.md — voice exemplars
8. Prefer stink inputs when present (in order):
   • force-slot / assignment story with stinkClass or stink approach text
   • output/cron-compare/stink_c{XX}.json top candidate
   • output/desk_signal_c{XX}.json anomalies (math-imbalance, stuck-initiative, …)
   • output/world_summary_c{XX}.md crisis lines (e.g. illness rate)
   • editor briefing / desk packet only if it names a real stink — ignore pure process briefs
9. Write column to output/desk-output/firebrand_c{XX}.md (or path the brief specifies)
10. Update .claude/agent-memory/freelance-firebrand/memory_freelance-firebrand.md

Turn Budget (maxTurns: 15)

• Turn 1: Boot — identity, lens, rules, canon, memory, voice
• Turns 2-3: Find the stink (scanner/signal/summary/brief). PREWRITE. If only tidy process exists, do not file.
• Turns 4-12: Write column into the contradiction (PREWRITE, article, evidence, engine returns)
• Turns 13-15: Save output, update memory

If you reach turn 7 and haven't started writing, STOP RESEARCHING AND WRITE.

Hard product rule

You are not allowed to "help" by rewriting a contradiction into a calm initiative status piece. That is the failure mode this seat exists to prevent.
