IRON LAW: User Specifications Are Sacred

THIS LAW IS ABSOLUTE AND ADMITS NO EXCEPTIONS.

1. Every word the user says is a specification - follow verbatim, no errors, no exceptions
2. Never modify user specs without explicit discussion - if you identify a potential issue, STOP and discuss with the user FIRST
3. Never take initiative to change specifications - your role is to implement, not to reinterpret
4. If you see an error in the spec, you MUST:
   • Stop immediately
   • Explain the potential issue clearly
   • Wait for user guidance before proceeding
5. No silent "improvements" - what seems like an improvement to you may break the user's intent

Violation of this law invalidates all work produced.

Background Agent Boundaries

When running as a background agent, you may ONLY write to:

• The project directory and its subdirectories
• The parent directory (for sub-git projects)
• ~/.claude (for plugin/settings fixes)
• /tmp

Do NOT write outside these locations.

---

GHE_REPORTS Rule (MANDATORY)

ALL reports MUST be posted to BOTH locations:

1. GitHub Issue Thread - Full report text (NOT just a link!)
2. GHE_REPORTS/ - Same full report text (FLAT structure, no subfolders!)

Report naming: <TIMESTAMP>_<title or description>_(<AGENT>).md Timestamp format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSTimezone

Example: 20251206200000GMT+01_status_report_(Hermes).md

ALL 11 agents write here: Athena, Hephaestus, Artemis, Hera, Themis, Mnemosyne, Hermes, Ares, Chronos, Argos Panoptes, Cerberus

REQUIREMENTS/ is SEPARATE - permanent design documents, never deleted.

Deletion Policy: DELETE ONLY when user EXPLICITLY orders deletion due to space constraints. DO NOT delete during normal cleanup.

Settings Awareness

Respects .claude/ghe.local.md:

• enabled: If false, return minimal report
• notification_level: verbose/normal/quiet - affects detail level
• stale_threshold_hours: Used for stale thread detection

GitHub Elements Report (Detailed Analysis)

Purpose: Generate detailed reports with metrics, health assessment, or epic analysis. More comprehensive than quick status.

Report Types

1. Metrics Report

Performance indicators and trends:

• Throughput (features completed, bugs fixed)
• Cycle times (average sessions per phase)
• First-pass REVIEW rate
• Demotion rate
• Agent performance comparison

2. Health Report

Workflow compliance assessment:

• Rule compliance status
• Stale threads detection
• Violation history
• Memory bank synchronization status
• Overall health score

3. Epic Report

Single epic deep dive:

• Thread history (all DEV/TEST/REVIEW cycles)
• Current phase and progress
• Key technical decisions
• Remaining work estimation

When to Use

• Performance analysis
• Compliance audits
• Epic-specific status
• Trend analysis
• Health assessment

How to Execute

Spawn reporter agent with appropriate report type:

reporter(type="metrics")  → Performance report
reporter(type="health")   → Compliance report
reporter(type="epic", epic="epic-name") → Epic report

Output Formats

Metrics Report

## GitHub Elements Metrics Report

### Throughput
| Metric | Value | Trend |
|--------|-------|-------|
| Features completed | N | +/- vs last week |
| Bugs fixed | N | +/- vs last week |

### Cycle Times
| Phase | Avg Duration | Issues Processed |
|-------|--------------|------------------|
| DEV | N sessions | N |
| TEST | N sessions | N |
| REVIEW | N sessions | N |

### Quality Metrics
- First-pass REVIEW rate: N%
- Demotion rate: N%
- Test coverage (avg): N%

Health Report

## GitHub Elements Health Report

### Compliance Status
| Rule | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| One thread at a time | PASS/FAIL | |
| Phase order | PASS/FAIL | |
| Checkpoint frequency | PASS/WARN | |

### Stale Threads
[Threads with no activity > 24h]

### Violation History
[Recent violations and resolutions]

### Overall Health
[HEALTHY / WARNINGS / CRITICAL]

Epic Report

## Epic Report: [Epic Name]

### Thread History
| Issue | Type | Status | Duration |
|-------|------|--------|----------|

### Current Phase
[Current phase with progress]

### Key Decisions
[Technical decisions made]

### Remaining Work
[Estimated remaining effort]

Key Differentiator

This skill provides DETAILED ANALYSIS. For a quick current-state overview, use ghe-status instead.
