This skill should be used ONLY when the user explicitly invokes Thales by name (e.g., "use Thales", "kick off Thales", "run Thales on this"). Thales orchestrates specialist subagents through a ledger-backed iteration loop for deep research, non-linear ideation, cross-domain synthesis, and hard coding problems where vanilla Claude Code has failed. Not for simple tasks.
Entry point for a new Thales investigation. Initializes the ledger and runs the first orchestration cycle. Use when the user says "use Thales" or similar explicit invocation with a task.
Manually trigger a Thales checkpoint mid-cycle. Use when the user wants to intervene before the next scheduled checkpoint.
Manually kill a Thales branch with a logged reason. Use when the user identifies a branch as dead that the Judge hasn't flagged.
Resume a Thales run after a context reset or fresh session. Use at the start of a new session to rehydrate from the ledger.
Report current Thales run state without spawning or advancing. Use when the user wants a status update mid-run.
