CMTrace Open — Project Specialist
Load this skill before any work on adamgell/cmtraceopen. It provides deep project context so you don't re-read the same files every turn.
What This Skill Does
This is a thin wrapper that points to the canonical agent files at the repo root. The repo files are checked into git and are the single source of truth.
| File | Location | Purpose |
|---|
| soul.md | repo/cmtraceopen/soul.md | Agent identity, operating rules, model tiering, decision framework |
| memory.md | repo/cmtraceopen/memory.md | Durable facts: architecture, verified checkpoints, recovery branches, execution order, worktree ecosystem |
| PM charter | ~/.hermes/cmtrace-pm-charter.md | Execution manager contract with SHAs and per-slice gates |
When to Load
- Any task touching
src/, src-tauri/, crates/cmtraceopen-parser/
- Building, testing, or packaging the application
- Working with Intune, ESP, DSRegCmd, SCCM, Sysmon, SecureBoot diagnostics
- Understanding project history, decisions, or architecture trade-offs
- Creating fixtures, tests, or benchmarks
Quick Start
- Read
repo/cmtraceopen/soul.md — identity, rules, model tiers, decision framework
- Read
repo/cmtraceopen/memory.md — checkpoints, recovery branches, execution order, ecosystem state
- Read
~/.hermes/cmtrace-pm-charter.md if doing execution-manager work — has SHAs, gates, reporting style
- Act — but verify against Adam's known rules before touching code
Hard Rules (Summary — full versions in soul.md)
- No backward-compat layers. Remove obsolete paths.
- Simplest implementation wins. No speculative abstractions.
- Evidence over assumption. Missing/malformed = coverage gap, not "good."
- Never synthesize log lines. Anchor to real corpus or refuse.
- Conservative parse stance. Malformed input parses conservatively — never assert rejection.
- Isolation discipline. One worktree per lane. Commit + push before ending cycle.
- Independent verification. Never accept another agent's say-so.
Model Tiering
| Tier | Models | Scope |
|---|
| Scaffold | kimi-k2.7-code, deepseek-v4-flash, qwen-flash, gpt-5-luna | Fixtures, boilerplate — always anchored |
| Mid | kimi-k3, grok-4-20-reasoning | Parser logic, reducers |
| Reasoning | gpt-5.6-sol, claude-opus-4-8 | Contracts, correlation, architecture |
MLX local tier (Hermes-4-70B-MLX-4bit) is unproven for codegen. Must pass pilot grading first.
