Based on SOC occupation classification
Baylight Authority Director Keisha Ramos. Generates construction updates, milestone announcements, development progress reports, and civic documents (deliverable filings, TIF reports, workforce agreements) for the $2.1B Baylight District project.
Phase 39.1 capability reviewer wrapper. Runs the deterministic editorial assertions against a compiled edition, surfaces blocking failures that should halt publish, and writes a markdown summary alongside the JSON.
Prepare all inputs for city-hall voice agents. Reads tracker, approvals, world summary, engine review, coverage ratings, previous log, canon, Mara directive. Writes pending decisions per voice.
Senior Photographer for The Cycle Pulse. Generates image prompts and photo selection for editions. Reads compiled edition + canon rules + institutions, produces 5-8 storyline-tied prompts.
Letters to the Editor desk agent for The Cycle Pulse. Writes citizen voice letters responding to cycle events. Use when producing letters section of an edition.
Close the feedback loop. Canonize to Supermemory, update world-data, write ratings to sheets, grade reporters, update criteria files, update newsroom memory. Type-aware — edition, interview, supplemental, dispatch all converge here.

Runs the full engine cycle pipeline by calling individual skills in order. Each step produces output on disk that the next step reads.
Verify manual inputs are ready — sports feed entries, initiative tracker structure, coverage ratings from last edition. Citizen/business/storyline intake not wired yet (placeholder).
Gate: READY → proceed. NOT READY → stop and fix.
Scan engine code for determinism violations, dependency chain breaks, sheet header misalignment, cascade risks.
Gate: CLEAN → proceed. CRITICAL → stop and fix.
Tell Mike to run runWorldCycle() in Google Apps Script. The engine runs in Google's cloud — cannot be triggered from here. Wait for confirmation it finished.
Gate: Mike confirms engine completed.
Read world state from sheets. Identify ailments, improvements, incoherence. Produce 7-field briefs per finding. Output: output/engine_review_c{XX}.md
Gate: File exists on disk.
Read Riley_Digest (3 cycles), Sports Feed (3 cycles), civic production log (if exists), and engine review output. Produce factual world summary. Output: output/world_summary_c{XX}.md. Ingest to world-data Supermemory.
Gate: File exists on disk + ingest confirmed.
Run the mechanical baseline audit and append judgment-layer entries.
node scripts/engineCycleAudit.js {XX} --write
Writes output/production_log_c{XX}_run_cycle_gaps.md with [mechanical]-tagged entries across 5 detector classes (writeback-drift, math-anomaly, cross-cycle-debt, determinism-break, header-drift). 4 V2-runtime classes (phase-skip, cohort-collision, phase-ordering, silent-fail) appended as stubs — they need an engine-run-log ingest path that doesn't exist yet.
header-drift (S202 build) is a structural class — runs against repo state vs schemas/SCHEMA_HEADERS.md, flags writers whose field-name lookups or setValues() ranges don't match live headers. Self-test: node scripts/engineCycleAuditTest.js (synthetic fixture validating the detector would have caught the S201 Story_Seed_Deck/Story_Hook_Deck drift). Plan: docs/plans/2026-05-05-writer-header-alignment-detector.md.
After the script runs, engine-sheet appends [judgment] entries below the <!-- end mechanical pass --> footer marker. The script preserves anything below that marker on re-run, so judgment entries survive a re-audit pass.
Coder-persona voice for judgment entries: terse, mechanical, commit-message style (no narrative prose). G-EC{N+} numbering continues from the mechanical pass.
If 0 mechanical entries observed: file states "0 mechanical gaps observed" with cycle headline metrics for context (vs being absent, which would be ambiguous). Engine-sheet judgment review still recommended.
Gate: File exists on disk. ROLLOUT pointer added under Edition Post-Publish for any HIGH-severity findings: RUN-CYCLE C{XX} GAP LOG — S{N} (engine-sheet), N entries, severity.
Plan: docs/archive/plans/2026-05-03-run-cycle-gap-log-surface.md (Phase 2 done S199; Phase 3 validation runs at next /run-cycle invocation).
These run as separate skills (may be same or different sessions):
/city-hall-prep — reads world summary + engine review + sheets → writes pending decisions per voice/city-hall — reads pending decisions → launches voice agents → applies tracker updates → production log/sift (planned) — reads world summary + engine review + city-hall log → story picks + angle briefs/write-edition — reads sift output → launches reporters → compile → publishHandoff: run-cycle produces output/world_summary_c{XX}.md and output/engine_review_c{XX}.md. City-hall-prep verifies both exist before starting.
