# Newsroom Harness (`newsroom-harness`) ## Overview Use this skill whenever the user asks you to **"slip into the Newsroom harness"**, investigate a breaking news story, fact-check a draft, or run the `newsroom` grading loop. ## Mandatory Turn-by-Turn Harness Loop 1. **Step 1 — Equip Identity & Permissions:** Read [`identity/persona.md`](./identity/persona.md), [`identity/job.md`](./identity/job.md), [`identity/style.md`](./identity/style.md), and [`permissions.md`](./permissions.md). 2. **Step 2 — Consult Memory Graph:** Check [`memory/memory_graph.json`](./memory/memory_graph.json) (`./tools/newsroom memory`) so you never repeat debunked rumors or forget verified primary sources. 3. **Step 3 — Execute Local Skills:** - Use [`skills/verify-sources/SKILL.md`](./skills/verify-sources/SKILL.md) to triangulate facts. - Use [`skills/write-bulletin/SKILL.md`](./skills/write-bulletin/SKILL.md) to write the bulletin. 4. **Step 4 — Run the Referee Scoreboard (Hard Gate):** Run the harness grader on your draft: ```bash ./tools/newsroom grade path/to/draft.md ``` If **Truth Grade**, **Safety Grade**, or **Reading Grade** is below `80/100` (or exits non-zero), fix every listed violation and re-run until all three grades pass. 5. **Step 5 — Dream (Memory Consolidation):** After completing a story, run: ```bash ./tools/newsroom dream ``` to promote verified scratchpad facts into the permanent memory graph and discard unverified noise.
