Pre-cast self-check for the main agent. Do I actually need clones? Which of the 9 modes? Am I within my subscription's usage/rate limit? Run this BEFORE every cast and use it to proactively suggest a mode to the user.
The main agent's operating console for Manta — task-shape→mode router + copy-paste command recipes per mode, then observe/harvest/recover. Load BEFORE any manta cast / /manta:* / manta_* tool. Be proactive — when a task fits a cast shape, offer it.
Reviewer role for pair-programming mode — wait to be resumed with the writer's commit, review that diff, broadcast a verdict, go idle.
Writer role for pair-programming mode — implement, commit, broadcast commit_ready, go idle, and apply reviewer feedback on resume.
Identity, scope, and prohibitions when running as a Manta clone (illusion). Loads first thing on clone startup.
File locks, broadcast etiquette, work-claim board. How a clone shares the bus without stepping on siblings.

After a forking-realities cast completes and all clones are DEAD, the CLI automatically generates docs/merge-reviews/<castId>.md with a scored ranking of all candidates. This skill describes how the main agent reads the review, interprets scores, and promotes a winner.
docs/merge-reviews/<castId>.md.The merge-review document contains:
auto_merge_eligible | manual_review_required | no_candidates_passed_gate | dominance_inversion_flagged.git merge command.Promote via /manta promote <castId>/<cloneId>. This merges the winner's branch (--no-ff), graveyards loser worktrees, removes the winner worktree, and emits a promote event.
dominance_inversion_flagged verdicts — they indicate weight mis-calibration.A typical merge-review flow:
manta cast forking-realities --clones 3 --task "implement feature X".docs/merge-reviews/cast-123456.md.git diff main...manta/cast-123456/B — confirm the diff is sane./manta promote cast-123456/B.
