name	capture-work-item
description	Freeform direct filing of an impl-side work item (bugs, refactors, tactical tasks). Filed records carry `origin: freeform` and `gap_id: null`. Invoked as livespec-orchestrator-beads-fabro:capture-work-item.

capture-work-item — Codex binding

Thin Codex binding for the capture-work-item operation of the livespec-orchestrator-beads-fabro plugin. The complete harness-neutral driving prose — the consent flow, the multi-step dialogue, the livespec_orchestrator_beads_fabro.* package calls, and the intake Definition-of-Ready semantics — is the plugin's own artifact at $PLUGIN_ROOT/prose/capture-work-item.md. FIRST resolve $PLUGIN_ROOT (next section), THEN read that prose file in full, then execute it end-to-end, binding its harness-neutral vocabulary to this runtime per ## Runtime bindings below. This binding adds NO operation behavior of its own.

Resolving the plugin root ($PLUGIN_ROOT)

Codex does NOT textually substitute a plugin-root token into SKILL prose, so resolve it explicitly, once, in this order:

1. If LIVESPEC_ORCH_PLUGIN_ROOT is set and non-empty, use it (explicit override for nonstandard dev setups).
2. Else if ./.claude-plugin/scripts/bin exists under the cwd AND ./.claude-plugin validates as this orchestrator plugin checkout (matching plugin manifest name), use $(pwd)/.claude-plugin.
3. Else use the newest valid installed cache root under $HOME/.codex/plugins/cache/livespec-orchestrator-beads-fabro/livespec-orchestrator-beads-fabro/<version>.
4. Else resolve the installed plugin's source.path from codex plugin list --json -m livespec-orchestrator-beads-fabro using a robust executable lookup (command -v codex, $HOME/.local/bin/codex, then $HOME/.bun/bin/codex). (the install flattens ./.claude-plugin, so that path carries scripts/ directly).

If resolution fails, STOP and surface those install instructions rather than improvising paths. Then read the prose:

cat "$PLUGIN_ROOT/prose/capture-work-item.md"

Runtime bindings

• <plugin-root> — the resolved $PLUGIN_ROOT above. Any python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/bin/<x>.py" invocation in the prose runs via the shell tool with <plugin-root> → $PLUGIN_ROOT.
• "ask the user" / "confirm with the user" / "surface" / "narrate" — conversational narration in this session (ask one question at a time).
• "read <file>" — reading the file directly. "write <file>" — writing the file directly. Python snippets — run via the shell tool against the bundled livespec_orchestrator_beads_fabro package (the wrappers self-bootstrap the import path).
• "the capture-impl-gaps / implement / groom operation" — the capture-impl-gaps, implement, and groom skills in this plugin (invoke them by name).
