Use when the user runs /skill:atlas or asks kimi-atlas to turn a rough coding request into elite, verified, human-gated implemented code — drives the deterministic INIT→OUTPUT state machine, dispatches the coder/scout/critic subagents, and never ships unverified.
Use when the user runs /skill:atlas-weave or asks kimi-atlas to implement a LARGER, multi-file change by decomposing it into a file-disjoint plan-DAG of nodes, running each node as an isolated inner atlas sub-run (≤3 at a time), and merging them through a combined-tree differential gate. The multi-agent extension of atlas; degrades byte-identically to a single atlas run on a 1-node DAG.
Use at session start (and after compaction) to resume an interrupted kimi-atlas run — whether a single-change `atlas` run or a multi-node `atlas-weave` graph run. If the cwd holds an unfinished `.atlas/<run_id>/` ledger, pick up from the durable on-disk state instead of restarting. Safe no-op when there is no `.atlas/` here.
