Based on SOC occupation classification
Resolve-and-promote security gate — verifies a Telegram (or other in/dm/*) chat id against the phonebook and, only when it resolves to owner, promotes it onto in/human/owner. Fail-closed; a stranger's message stops at an unresolved sighting.
Telegram bridge (daemon) — getUpdates messages become in/dm/telegram/<chat.id> conversation ingress; in/package/telegram/send delivers replies with sender=telegram receipts. A transport is just a package (zero kernel edits).
Runbook for diagnosing common lanius RUNTIME / operational failures — broker & bus errors ("CONNECT refused", "bad credential"), stray/orphaned processes, ports stuck in use, the daemon not dispatching, the web UI not loading. Use when something is failing at runtime (not a compile error or a logic bug) and you want the symptom → cause → diagnose → fix → prevent steps. Each file in this skill is ONE runbook entry, keyed by the symptom you actually see. Start here, match your symptom to an entry, follow it.
The journey → handoff → implement → verify pipeline for shipping substantial work on lanius, with deliberate model-tiering across the phases. Use when Tim asks to plan a feature, write or "knock out" handoff docs, implement a spec, or orchestrate implementation + verification — anything bigger than a quick edit. Encodes who plans vs implements vs verifies, which model/effort fits each phase, how to dispatch clean-context worker agents, and the containment + commit discipline that keeps the repo clean. Fable should *ALWAYS* follow the second-level workflow specified below.
How agents talk on Lanius - to the human (send_message vs ask_human), to coding workers (deliver/spawn/inbox), and to native/profile agents (agent catalog/run/spawn), when to speak unprompted vs stay quiet, when to set priority, shared-channel etiquette, and the failure-mail contract. Read before messaging the human, dispatching work to another agent, launching a native/profile agent, or coordinating in a shared room.
The chat/conversation view — owns the chat protocol on the bus and answers the chat-shaped conversation-list + introspection queries over local HTTP from the sqlite truth. Requires the history package.

| description | Re-pings unanswered human asks (capped) until answered, expired, or a delivery receipt shows a human already saw it on some channel. |
A cron sweep (no resident process) that re-surfaces unanswered in/human/owner
asks as signal/attention — which the notify package renders like any
other signal. Stops when: an answer arrives, the deadline default fires, an
obs/channel/<channel>/acked receipt names the ask (read receipts from
channels that have them; desktop only produces sent), or the nag cap (3)
is hit. Nag counts live in the kv table; causality threads each nag to its
ask via cause_id.
Tuning: the cron's payload = { after_secs = N } sets how stale an ask must
be before the first nag.
