Tree-of-Sophia

Detect reviewed or repeated project processes that are candidates for automation, classify whether they are seed-ready, and route them to the right owner layer without granting schedule or mutation authority. Use when a reviewed session or repeated project slice reveals a recurring manual route and the honest question is whether it should stay manual, become a bounded skill, or become a playbook automation seed candidate. Do not use for one-off exploratory work, creative synthesis with no stable trigger or output, live scheduling requests, or hidden self-change.

Turn a reviewed session artifact into a bounded HARVEST_PACKET, route each reusable unit to the right AoA owner layer, and hand off to the next honest post-session skill when needed. Use when the source is a reviewed session transcript, compaction note, or recap and the real question is what should survive this session rather than merely what happened. Do not use for active or unreviewed sessions, raw session capture or indexing work, or when the only remaining object is already one repeated quest unit that just needs `aoa-quest-harvest` for the final promotion verdict.

Delegate one bounded child route through quest-passport law, local coding-agent execution defaults, hard gates for progression, self-agent, and stress posture, and governed return into reviewed closeout. Use when a parent route already has a real anchor and named outputs and the honest next move is a narrower child reviewer, evaluator, verifier, or leaf helper rather than a larger orchestration layer. Do not use when the route lacks an anchor, the outputs are unnamed, the work is `d3+` and still needs a split, or remote delegation is being used to bypass proof, approval, or closeout posture.

Make bounded infrastructure, configuration, service, or operational changes with explicit risk framing, proportional verification, and rollback thinking. Use when a change has runtime or deployment implications and needs stronger discipline than a normal code edit. Do not use for purely local code changes, or when the main need is approval classification or preview-first execution.

Classify drift, friction, proof gaps, ownership confusion, and repeated failure patterns from a reviewed session into a bounded diagnosis packet without mutating anything yet. Use when the next honest move is diagnosis before repair and the reviewed material points to repeated contradictions, blockers, or boundary blur. Do not use for live sessions, for issues that are already fully diagnosed, or when the real task is final quest-promotion triage.

Capture a meaningful architectural or workflow decision as an ADR or decision note, place it in the canonical decision surface, and verify the rationale stays discoverable. Use when structure, boundaries, tooling, or workflow expectations change and future contributors need to know why. Do not use for tiny self-evident edits or when the real problem is source-of-truth ambiguity rather than decision rationale.

Bridge provisional checkpoint evidence into one explicit reviewed closeout execution chain without turning notes into final harvest, progression, or quest authority. Use when a reviewed session artifact exists, checkpoint notes or closeout handoffs already carry focus hints, and the next honest move is to reread the reviewed artifact while driving donor harvest, progression lift, and quest harvest in that fixed order. Do not use for mid-session collection only, for hidden execution inside `aoa closeout run`, or when the request tries to mint final verdicts from checkpoint notes without reviewed evidence.

Design or extend contract-oriented validation at module, service, or workflow boundaries. Use when two components interact across a meaningful interface, downstream assumptions matter, or a smoke path needs an explicit contract. Do not use for purely local changes or when the real need is invariant or property testing instead of boundary validation.

Bring up a bounded local multi-service stack by rendering runtime truth, checking selector-aware host readiness, and launching through one explicit lifecycle entrypoint with a visible stop path. Use when profiles, presets, or overlays can change what starts and host readiness must be reviewed before launch. Do not use for remote deployment, pure diagnostics without launch intent, or generic infra-change work.

Express stable system or domain truths as invariant-oriented tests or checks rather than only fixed examples. Use when correctness depends on behavior that should hold across many inputs or states, such as monotonicity, idempotency, conservation, or structural rules. Do not use when no meaningful invariant is known yet or when the real task is auditing existing coverage instead of writing the properties.

Give the final promotion verdict on one repeated reviewed quest-shaped unit without collapsing skills, playbooks, orchestrator classes, proof, or memory into one layer. Use when a bounded quest-shaped work pattern has repeated, reviewed evidence exists, and you need the final honest verdict on whether it should stay a quest or move into the next owner surface. Do not use when the route is still active, only one anecdotal occurrence exists, the task is to invent net-new doctrine, or a broader reviewed session artifact still needs donor harvest, route forks, diagnosis, repair, or progression reflection first.

Lift reviewed session evidence into a bounded multi-axis progression delta with explicit unlock hints, quest reflection cues, and no fake single-score authority. Use when a reviewed session produced meaningful mastery evidence and you need progression legibility without mutating source role profiles or routing authority. Do not use when there is no reviewed evidence, when the request wants one universal power number, or when progression language is being used as hidden policy.

Turn reviewed session evidence into explicit next-route forks with likely gains, costs, risks, owner targets, and stop conditions so continuation stays legible instead of buried in chat memory. Use when a reviewed session ended with several plausible next moves and you need visible branch choices rather than a hidden recommendation. Do not use when there is only one obvious next move, when donor harvest still has not happened, or when the real question is final promotion of one repeated quest unit.

Turn a reviewed diagnosis packet into the smallest honest repair packet with checkpoint posture, rollback markers, health checks, and explicit owner-layer targets instead of silent self-mutation. Use when diagnosis already exists and the next honest move is a bounded repair plan or repair-ready packet. Do not use without a reviewed diagnosis, for playbook-scale rollout work, or for vague self-improvement rhetoric with no bounded target.
