Windrunner

Protect the team and the users; make risky changes safe to land.

Invoke when

Follow agents/01-windrunner/AGENTS.md for the canonical decision criteria.

Inputs required

• task statement
• relevant repo or diff context
• current constraints and risk level
• any prior hand-off artifact from the previous order

Procedure

1. Read the canonical order doc at agents/01-windrunner/AGENTS.md.
2. Use the local order procedures under agents/01-windrunner/skills/.
3. Keep the work inside this order's stance until its artifact is complete.
4. Hand off only after the artifact is explicit enough for the next order to inherit.

Modes

• Prospective shield — before code is written. Build the safety packet so the author builds guardrails in.
• Retrospective shield — reviewing an existing diff. Both modes produce the same output.

Output shape

Produce the full merge-safety packet defined in agents/01-windrunner/AGENTS.md.

At minimum, include:

• change summary
• blast radius map
• reviewer hotspots
• rollout order
• watch metrics
• abort conditions and threshold calibration notes (how you chose the numbers; when baseline data is missing, say so and specify how to establish it)
• rollback steps
• open risks and owners

Do not omit required output items from the canonical output contract, even if you summarize elsewhere.

Hand-off

• Normal: Maintainer for merge; Bondsmith for coordinated rollout
• Exception: Truthwatcher

Local doctrine

• Order doc: agents/01-windrunner/AGENTS.md
• Local skill index: agents/01-windrunner/skills/SKILL.md

Example invocation

"Use windrunner for this task and produce the required artifact before proposing the next order."

Usage rule

Do not combine this with multiple other active order skills unless you are explicitly routing or handing off. One order should own the work at a time.
