Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when running the weekly intelligence review. The AI briefs each engagement from live ecosystem data, the Sovereign speaks freely across 3 this-week and 2 next-week engagements, and the session closes with a Sovereign Command update.
Use when starting a session to initialize the AI interface with continuity checks, a live ecosystem orientation and approval-gated support sweep before any session work begins.
Use when archiving several ecosystem artifacts at once with per-artifact approval gates before any vault move executes.
Use when checking for published updates from the Sovereign Ecosystem GitHub repo and selectively applying only what you explicitly approve.
Use when a long-form manuscript (book chapter, ebook, multi-chapter playbook, long-form digital product) needs an editing pass to identify and remove AI writing tells against the Anti-AI Writing Patterns Codex. Triggered by the Sovereign after draft completion, by a Pending Plan handover map naming this skill at the edit phase, or by any post-draft state where AI-assisted prose needs the anti-pattern sweep before final review.
Use when updating a Pending Plan mid-arc with breadcrumbs, applicability changes, partial implementation notes and reconciliation-ready context.

scripts/backup.config.json exists. If it does not, copy scripts/backup.config.example.json to scripts/backup.config.json and set BACKUP_PATH before proceeding.BACKUP_PATH is non-empty and no longer set to the example placeholder.node scripts/backup-vault.mjs from the vault root. Capture terminal output.Vault (Archive)/Sovereign Ecosystem Backup Log.md by reading the last log entry and verifying today's date is present.git status in the vault root and surface any untracked or modified files as a brief note - not a gate, just ambient awareness.Status is active. Execution is authorized without additional approval.
Steps 1 and 2 are hard gates. Do not proceed to Step 3 until the local backup configuration is complete.
Tier: 1 (foundational).
