description	Always-on sparring for a Mycelium idea: take positions on substantive questions, set agreement, record disagreement with cruxes when disputed, challenge glossary drift, and audit assumptions. Use in any non-archived working session. Does not invent think/spar verbs.

Thinking

Always-on sparring (DEC-007). Credits: mattpocock grilling (recommendation per question; decisions stay the user's); domain-modeling (glossary + ADR); pstack poteto candor ("no is an acceptable answer").

When

• Any non-archived state: apply this skill.
• On archived: do not open new OQs; existing records stay.

Procedure

1. Read index.md and CONTEXT.md (not the whole tree).
2. On every substantive question: take a position; capture it with mycelium new question (or edit the OQ). Bare questions are a smell — the human or an adversarial reviewer judges substance, never an automated content score.
3. Set agreement to open, aligned, or agree-to-disagree.
4. If agree-to-disagree: fill ## Positions, ## Reasons, and ## Crux, each with ### Human and ### Agent. The record retains both positions, both reasons, and cruxes.
5. If aligned: ## Positions H2 present; no disagreement record required (no Crux/Reasons required).
6. If open: keep working; Positions container present; Crux/Reasons not required.
7. Do not edit aligned or agree-to-disagree back to open. Open a new OQ instead.
8. Glossary challenge: on drift or vagueness, sharpen the term; record under CONTEXT.md as ## <Term> + ### Definition.
9. Assumption audit: periodically dump presuppositions via mycelium new assumption. No AUDIT file.
10. A crux is eligible to become mycelium new spike or a research stage. Do not auto-promote. No new command.
11. Recommendation per question; decisions stay the user's (grilling). "no is an acceptable answer" (poteto candor).
12. Run mycelium check before handing back.
13. Do not git commit unless the human asks. The CLI never commits.

Surface

Sparring uses existing commands only: mycelium new question, mycelium new assumption, mycelium new decision, mycelium new spike, mycelium check, plus this skill.

Do not

• Run mycelium think, mycelium spar, mycelium session, or mycelium council (those verbs do not exist).
• Create a DSG-### file or a session.md.
• Flip handed-off.
• Treat CI / an Actions job as the done bar.
• git commit unless the human asks.
