Bounded Work Item
Use this skill when the controller supplies one canonical node work packet
with declared refs, scope, non-goals, dependency evidence, acceptance refs,
allowed paths, and verification refs.
The only Coder terminal status enum is done|blocked|needs_rework.
Workflow
- Read only the canonical node work packet and its declared refs.
- Inspect relevant files before editing. Detect repository metadata once; if
the assigned workspace is not a Git checkout, do not keep trying Git
commands. Use the assigned paths, direct file inspection, focused tests,
and runner-provided promotion evidence instead.
- Make the smallest change that satisfies the packet inside its allowed
paths. Do not expand scope or inspect sibling packets.
- Run focused verification when possible.
- After verification, use only the assigned-review chain skill to submit the
evidence to the assigned Reviewer, then stop for continuation.
- Apply bounded requested rework when returned. After Reviewer pass, perform
no more file/tool mutation and immediately return changed paths,
verification evidence, blockers, and
done.
Boundaries
- Do not lower acceptance criteria.
- Do not silently substitute fallback behavior.
- Do not claim whole-round success.
- Do not directly edit authoritative CCB state or runtime files.
- Do not run CCB commands or workflow wrappers except the exact assigned
Reviewer
ask --chain --artifact-reply operation.
- Do not submit other downstream asks, create authority commits, integrate sibling
work, promote project-root state, or release agents.
- Provider and model selection remain project configuration concerns. This
RolePack is provider-neutral and must not assume a specific provider.
