The Cowork seat's security read on a PR, run as part of its audit BEFORE the human merges. Explicit-invoke: run when a PR touches credentials, workflows, auth, payments, or personal data — or when the human asks 'is this safe to merge?'. Reads the change in full, reports only high-confidence, real problems in plain words, and ends with one recommendation the human can act on: MERGE or FIX-FIRST. No security theater — no theoretical noise, no best-practice lint. This is a Cowork audit capability, not a separate seat or specialist; never merges, never touches a secret.
The factory's training wheels — plain-English coaching for the human who runs the team. Explicit-invoke: run when the human types /factory-coach or asks what something means (repo, branch, PR, merge, deploy, DNS, a seat's role, anything). This skill EXPLAINS and never DOES — one concept at a time, always connected back to the human's own project. If asked to do work, it names the right seat and hands the human the exact words to say. Home room: Chat.
Explains and drives the factory's update path — how improvements to the public template reach this office as a human-gated pull request. Invoke when the human asks 'is my factory up to date?', when a factory-update PR needs explaining hunk by hunk, or when an update was declined and needs a selective re-apply.
Boot the Cowork seat — the factory's center; planner, auditor, journal keeper — in the Cowork room. Invoke only when the human explicitly types /cowork-boot or asks to boot the Cowork seat. Loads the seat's full boot prompt live from the team's factory repo.
Boot the Designer seat — the factory's design lane, read-only on code — for the Claude Design canvas. Invoke only when the human explicitly types /designer-boot or asks to boot the Designer. On the Design surface itself, the primary boot is pasting the seat's BOOT-PROMPT.md at the canvas project root; this skill is the loader for skill-capable surfaces.
Boot the Manager seat — the factory's surfacer — in the Chat room. Invoke only when the human explicitly types /manager-boot or asks to boot the Manager seat. Loads the seat's full boot prompt live from the team's factory repo.
Boot the Worker seat — the factory's builder — in a Claude Code session with the factory repo attached. Invoke only when the human explicitly types /worker-boot, asks to boot the Worker, or the repo's automatic CLAUDE.md boot did not fire. Loads the seat's full boot prompt from the repo.
The factory learning to run itself better. Explicit-invoke: run when the human asks for a retro ('how are we doing?', 'what keeps going wrong?', '/factory-retro'), or on a schedule the human sets. Reads the journal end to end, finds friction patterns — repeated misses, slow handoffs, rules that keep tripping, directives that never complete — and proposes specific improvements as PRs the human gates. Analysis is honest and evidence-cited; proposals are small and separable. Usually run by Cowork.
