description	Persist the full working state into git (commit + tag + push + manifest artifacts) as a deterministic handoff snapshot. Use when the user requests Π / fork tax / full dump.

Skill: Fork Tax (Π)

Goal

Create a deterministic handoff snapshot via git: commit, tag, push, and in-repo manifest artifacts.

Use This Skill When

The user says "Π" or "pay the fork tax" or requests a "full dump" / "snapshot" / "handoff".

Do Not Use This Skill When

The user has not requested a handoff/snapshot.
You suspect secrets are present in the working tree (stop and redact first).
The workspace is shared and you are about to use blanket reset/restore/clean/add-all behavior without an explicit path scope.

Multi-Agent Guardrails

Assume other agents may be touching the same repo unless the user explicitly says you have exclusivity.
Treat unrelated dirty paths as live concurrent work, not as garbage to clear.
Never use repo-wide git reset, git restore, git clean, checkout rewinds, or similar destructive cleanup against shared dirt.
Prefer path-scoped staging (git add -- <paths>, git add -u -- <paths>) over blanket git add -A in shared workspaces.
If concurrent dirt cannot be safely absorbed, record it in .ημ artifacts as a blocker/residual instead of deleting or unstaging it.
For recursive submodule Π work, only update root pointers for submodule commits that were actually preserved/pushed; leave local-only or blocked dirt unstaged and documented.

Steps

Confirm repository root, current branch, and whether the workspace appears shared/concurrently modified.
Check git status and split dirt into: owned target paths, concurrent/unowned paths, and blocked/generated/runtime paths.
Run the smallest relevant verification on the owned target paths if available.
Write/update in-repo handoff artifacts (.ημ/Π_STATE.sexp, .ημ/Π_LAST.md, manifest hashes), explicitly noting concurrent dirt you did not absorb.
Commit only the owned/stageable repo-relevant changes; avoid destructive cleanup of unrelated work.
Create a deterministic Π tag.
Push branch + tag to remote (record failures verbatim if blocked).

Output

A Π commit and tag.
Updated .ημ/* handoff artifacts.
Verification notes (run or skipped with reason).
A clear record of concurrent dirt/blockers that were intentionally left untouched.
