Maintain Gradient's repo-local agent harness: skills, agents, settings, repo brief, and gate-aligned instructions. Trigger: /harness, /skill, /primitive.
Take one shaped Gradient docs/schema/profile task to merge-ready. Composes /shape, /implement, /code-review, /ci, /qa, /demo, and /refactor as needed. Stops before merge. Trigger: /deliver.
Assess Gradient's readiness for governed agent work across docs, schemas, profiles, harness, validation, evidence, and public-safe boundaries. Trigger: /agent-readiness, /readiness.
Dialectical premise-and-alternatives audit for a plan, spec, or context packet. Four moves: premise challenge (is this the right problem?), mandatory structurally-distinct alternatives, cross-model outside voice, user-ratified convergence. Named for Gary Tan's plan-ceo-review pattern; operationalizes the AGENTS.md "Diverge Before You Converge" doctrine at the plan-review stage. Use when: about to commit to a plan/spec/design, reviewing a ticket before shape, when "is this the right problem" would be useful, or any time a proposal smells like a symptom fix instead of a root-cause fix. Trigger: /ceo-review, /challenge, /premise-check.
Gradient gate audit and validation workflow. Use when checking whether a docs/profile/schema change is safe to ship in this scaffold. Trigger: /ci.
Review Gradient docs, profiles, schemas, and harness changes for public-safe boundaries, lifecycle consistency, and contract depth. Trigger: /code-review, /review, /critique.

Grooming here is product-contract triage. There is no backlog.d/ yet, so work
items live in user requests, docs, and explicit debt notes until a tracker is
added.
This repo now has backlog.d as the Work adapter v0, but no closure
detector beyond the tracer-bullet fixture. Until a detector exists, preserve
work references manually and mark closure mechanics unverified.
The load-bearing ship gate is ./scripts/validate.sh, plus reviewer
judgment for lifecycle semantics in docs/architecture.md and
docs/module-contracts.md when docs change.
Produce a concise candidate item with goal, lifecycle stage, files likely touched, acceptance criteria, evidence, and public-safe risk.
