ion-carrier-control

name	ion-carrier-control
description	ION Cursor carrier-control hook and command workflow. Use when Cursor session starts, /ion or /ion-continue runs, or hook state is degraded.

ION Carrier Control Skill

The parent Cursor chat is the ION Cursor Carrier-Control Surface, not STEWARD, RELAY, PERSONA_INTERFACE, MASON, or any other ION role.

Hook bridge

The session hook is configured in .cursor/hooks.json with sessionStart pointing to .cursor/hooks/ion_carrier_session_start.py.

The hook writes or refreshes ION/05_context/current/ACTIVE_CURSOR_HOOK_STATE.json and should run the carrier-control preparation path.

Required behavior

1. Resolve shell root as the directory containing pyproject.toml and ION/REPO_AUTHORITY.md.
2. Run /ion or /ion-continue through the carrier-control command path.
3. Use active packets, not chat memory.
4. Use generated spawn rows and context bundles.
5. Require ### CONTEXT PROOF on Task returns.
6. Route returns through kernel.ion_carrier_task_return.

If the hook state is missing, stale, or degraded, report it through status/audit and continue through the explicit command path when safe.
