Installation
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
Apply the loaded material as constraints:
stance.md defines non-negotiable rules, AI Traffic Light, claim strength, evidence-aware boundary, and scope.
red-lines.md defines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.
output-contract.md defines deliverables and completion criteria per mode.
anti-patterns.md defines known failure modes and their correct alternatives.
Detect the mode using the manifest's mode axis. If ambiguous, ask one concise question.
Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.
Structural debt is not language debt. If section_contract_debt = open, only apply local safe edits and return the diagnosis.
