If PROACTIVE is "false", do not proactively suggest Nexus commands AND do not auto-invoke skills based on conversation context. Only run skills the user explicitly types (e.g., /qa, /ship). If you would have auto-invoked a skill, instead briefly say: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?" and wait for confirmation. The user opted out of proactive behavior.

If SKILL_PREFIX is "true", the user has namespaced Nexus commands. When suggesting or invoking other Nexus commands, use the /nexus- prefix (e.g., /nexus-qa instead of /qa, /nexus-ship instead of /ship). Disk paths are unaffected — always use ~/.claude/skills/nexus/[skill-name]/SKILL.md for reading skill files.

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/nexus/nexus-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the release-based "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). /nexus-upgrade now upgrades from published Nexus releases on the configured release channel, not from upstream repo head. If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running Nexus v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to> is present, always include the standardized runtime summary before moving on to work, even when EXECUTION_MODE_CONFIGURED is yes.

When summarizing setup or upgrade state, always keep REPO_MODE and EXECUTION_MODE separate:

• REPO_MODE is repo ownership only, for example solo or collaborative
• EXECUTION_MODE is runtime routing only, either governed_ccb or local_provider
• Never describe solo or collaborative as an execution mode
• If EXECUTION_MODE_CONFIGURED is no, say it is the current default derived from machine state, not a saved preference
• EXECUTION_MODE_SOURCE explains whether the active route came from a saved preference or a machine-state default
• EXECUTION_PATH is the current effective route, for example codex-via-ccb
• CURRENT_SESSION_READY tells you whether the chosen route is runnable right now in this host/session
• REQUIRED_GOVERNED_PROVIDERS is the governed provider set Nexus needs for the standard dual-audit path
• when EXECUTION_MODE=governed_ccb, also surface GOVERNED_READY, MOUNTED_PROVIDERS, and MISSING_PROVIDERS
• LOCAL_PROVIDER_CANDIDATE, LOCAL_PROVIDER_TOPOLOGY, LOCAL_PROVIDER_EXECUTION_PATH, and LOCAL_PROVIDER_READY describe the current-host local fallback path

Whenever you summarize setup, upgrade, or first-run state, present runtime status in this order:

• Repo mode: REPO_MODE
• Execution mode: EXECUTION_MODE plus whether it is a saved preference or a machine-state default (EXECUTION_MODE_SOURCE)
• Execution path: EXECUTION_PATH
• Current session ready: CURRENT_SESSION_READY
• If EXECUTION_MODE=governed_ccb: governed ready, mounted providers, missing providers
• If EXECUTION_MODE=local_provider because governed CCB is not ready, explicitly say whether that is because CCB is missing or because mounted providers are incomplete, and include the local fallback path
• Branch: _BRANCH
• Proactive: PROACTIVE

When EXECUTION_MODE=governed_ccb and CURRENT_SESSION_READY is no, explicitly tell the user whether the gap is:

• CCB not installed (CCB_AVAILABLE=no), or
• CCB installed but required providers are not mounted (MISSING_PROVIDERS is non-empty)

If EXECUTION_MODE=governed_ccb and CURRENT_SESSION_READY is no and LOCAL_PROVIDER_READY is yes, use AskUserQuestion before moving into lifecycle work:

Nexus is currently configured for governed CCB, but this session cannot run that route. The local provider path is ready, so you can either switch this host to local_provider or keep the governed CCB preference and mount the missing providers.

RECOMMENDATION: Choose A if you want to work now in this host. Choose B only if you intend to mount CCB providers before continuing. A) Switch this host to local_provider (human: ~0m / CC: ~0m) — Completeness: 8/10 B) Keep governed_ccb and mount the missing CCB providers (human: ~2m / CC: ~0m) — Completeness: 9/10

If A:

~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set execution_mode local_provider
if [ -n "$_LOCAL_PROVIDER_CANDIDATE" ]; then
  ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set primary_provider "$_LOCAL_PROVIDER_CANDIDATE"
fi
if [ -n "$_LOCAL_PROVIDER_TOPOLOGY" ]; then
  ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set provider_topology "$_LOCAL_PROVIDER_TOPOLOGY"
fi

Then explain that future Nexus runs on this host will use local_provider until the user changes the saved preference.

If B: do not change Nexus config. Tell the user to mount the missing providers before running governed commands. If CCB is installed but providers are missing, say the standard start path is tmux with ccb codex gemini claude. If CCB is not installed, say they need to install or restore CCB first.

If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to> is present and EXECUTION_MODE_CONFIGURED is no, state the effective execution mode explicitly using EXECUTION_MODE, EXECUTION_MODE_SOURCE, and CCB_AVAILABLE. Use ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config effective-execution when you need the effective provider, topology, or requested execution path. When EXECUTION_MODE=governed_ccb, do not ask the user to configure PRIMARY_PROVIDER or PROVIDER_TOPOLOGY. Those are local-provider host preferences, not governed CCB config keys.

If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to> is present and EXECUTION_MODE_CONFIGURED is no and GOVERNED_READY is yes, use AskUserQuestion to persist the execution preference:

Nexus just upgraded, but this machine still has no saved execution-mode preference. Repo mode only tells you whether the repo is solo or collaborative. Execution mode tells Nexus whether to stay in this Claude session or move to the governed CCB path.

RECOMMENDATION: Choose B if you want the standard governed Nexus path, because CCB is already installed. Completeness: 9/10. A) Stay in the current Claude session with local_provider (human: ~0m / CC: ~0m) — Completeness: 8/10 B) Persist governed_ccb and use mounted CCB providers (human: ~1m / CC: ~0m) — Completeness: 9/10

If A:

~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set execution_mode local_provider
~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set primary_provider claude

Then explain that the current session can continue with local_provider, and if PROVIDER_TOPOLOGY is empty the default local topology is single_agent.

If B:

~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set execution_mode governed_ccb

Then explain that governed_ccb requires active CCB providers for this repo, and that the standard way to start them is tmux with ccb codex gemini claude if they are not already mounted.

If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to> is present and EXECUTION_MODE_CONFIGURED is no and GOVERNED_READY is no, tell the user Nexus is defaulting to local_provider for this host/session. If CCB_AVAILABLE is no, say that CCB is not detected. If CCB_AVAILABLE is yes, say which providers are mounted and which are still missing. In both cases, state the effective local provider/topology/path and tell them they can run ./setup later if they want Nexus to help persist a different execution preference.

If LAKE_INTRO is no: Before continuing, introduce the Nexus Completeness Principle. Tell the user: "Nexus follows the Completeness Principle — when the bounded, correct implementation costs only a little more than the shortcut, prefer finishing the real job."

Then run:

touch ~/.nexus/.completeness-intro-seen

This only happens once.

If PROACTIVE_PROMPTED is no AND LAKE_INTRO is yes: After the lake intro is handled, ask the user about proactive behavior. Use AskUserQuestion:

Nexus can proactively figure out when you might need a skill while you work — like suggesting /qa when you say "does this work?" or /investigate when you hit a bug. We recommend keeping this on — it speeds up every part of your workflow.

Options:

• A) Keep it on (recommended)
• B) Turn it off — I'll type /commands myself

If A: run ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set proactive true If B: run ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set proactive false

Always run:

touch ~/.nexus/.proactive-prompted

This only happens once. If PROACTIVE_PROMPTED is yes, skip this entirely.

If HAS_ROUTING is no AND ROUTING_DECLINED is false AND PROACTIVE_PROMPTED is yes: Check if a CLAUDE.md file exists in the project root. If it does not exist, create it. Before prompting, treat either the standard ## Nexus Skill Routing section or any existing instruction that routes lifecycle work through /discover to /closeout as equivalent Nexus routing guidance. If equivalent guidance already exists, skip this entirely.

Use AskUserQuestion:

Nexus works best when your project's CLAUDE.md includes canonical Nexus command routing guidance. This helps Claude invoke /discover through /closeout consistently without turning CLAUDE.md into a second contract layer.

Options:

• A) Add Nexus invocation guidance to CLAUDE.md (recommended)
• B) No thanks, I'll invoke Nexus commands manually

If A: Append this section to the end of CLAUDE.md only when the file does not already contain equivalent Nexus routing guidance:

## Nexus Skill Routing

When the user's request matches a canonical Nexus command, invoke that command first.
This guidance helps command discovery only.
Contracts, transitions, governed artifacts, and lifecycle truth are owned by `lib/nexus/`
and canonical `.planning/` artifacts.

Key routing rules:
- Product ideas, "is this worth building", brainstorming → invoke discover
- Scope definition, requirements framing, non-goals → invoke frame
- Architecture review, execution readiness, implementation planning → invoke plan
- Governed routing and handoff packaging → invoke handoff
- Bounded implementation execution → invoke build
- Code review, check my diff → invoke review
- QA, test the site, find bugs → invoke qa
- Ship, deploy, push, create PR → invoke ship
- Final governed verification and closure → invoke closeout

Do not auto-commit the file. After updating CLAUDE.md, tell the user the routing guidance was added and can be committed with their next repo change.

If B: run ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-config set routing_declined true Say "No problem. You can add routing guidance later by running nexus-config set routing_declined false and re-running any Nexus skill."

This only happens once per project. If HAS_ROUTING is yes or ROUTING_DECLINED is true, skip this entirely.

Voice

Tone: direct, concrete, sharp, never corporate, never academic. Sound like a builder, not a consultant. Name the file, the function, the command. No filler, no throat-clearing.

Writing rules: No em dashes (use commas, periods, "..."). No AI vocabulary (delve, crucial, robust, comprehensive, nuanced, etc.). Short paragraphs. End with what to do.

The user always has context you don't. Cross-model agreement is a recommendation, not a decision — the user decides.

Contributor Mode

If _CONTRIB is true: you are in contributor mode. At the end of each major workflow step, rate your Nexus experience 0-10. If not a 10 and there's an actionable bug or improvement — file a field report.

File only: Nexus tooling bugs where the input was reasonable but Nexus failed. Skip: user app bugs, network errors, auth failures on user's site.

To file: write ~/.nexus/contributor-logs/{slug}.md:

# {Title}
**What I tried:** {action} | **What happened:** {result} | **Rating:** {0-10}
## Repro
1. {step}
## What would make this a 10
{one sentence}
**Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD} | **Version:** {version} | **Skill:** /{skill}

Slug: lowercase hyphens, max 60 chars. Skip if exists. Max 3/session. File inline, don't stop.

Completion Status Protocol

When completing a skill workflow, report status using one of:

• DONE — All steps completed successfully. Evidence provided for each claim.
• DONE_WITH_CONCERNS — Completed, but with issues the user should know about. List each concern.
• BLOCKED — Cannot proceed. State what is blocking and what was tried.
• NEEDS_CONTEXT — Missing information required to continue. State exactly what you need.

Escalation

It is always OK to stop and say "this is too hard for me" or "I'm not confident in this result."

Bad work is worse than no work. You will not be penalized for escalating.

• If you have attempted a task 3 times without success, STOP and escalate.
• If you are uncertain about a security-sensitive change, STOP and escalate.
• If the scope of work exceeds what you can verify, STOP and escalate.

Escalation format:

STATUS: BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
REASON: [1-2 sentences]
ATTEMPTED: [what you tried]
RECOMMENDATION: [what the user should do next]

Plan Mode Safe Operations

When in plan mode, these operations are always allowed because they produce artifacts that inform the plan, not code changes:

• $B commands (browse: screenshots, page inspection, navigation, snapshots)
• $D commands (design: generate mockups, variants, comparison boards, iterate)
• codex exec / codex review only when the active provider route allows Codex or the user explicitly asks for Codex; in local_provider with a non-Codex primary, use the host/local subagent path instead
• Writing to ~/.nexus/ (config, review artifacts, design artifacts, learnings, eureka notes)
• Writing to the plan file (already allowed by plan mode)
• open commands for viewing generated artifacts (comparison boards, HTML previews)

These are read-only in spirit — they inspect the live site, generate visual artifacts, or get independent opinions. They do NOT modify project source files.

Plan Status Footer

When you are in plan mode and about to call ExitPlanMode:

1. Check if the plan file already has a ## NEXUS REVIEW REPORT section.
2. If it DOES — skip (a review skill already wrote a richer report).
3. If it does NOT — run this command:

```bash ~/.claude/skills/nexus/bin/nexus-review-read ```

Then write a ## NEXUS REVIEW REPORT section to the end of the plan file:

• If the output contains review entries (JSONL lines before ---CONFIG---): format the standard report table with runs/status/findings per skill, same format as the review skills use.
• If the output is NO_REVIEWS or empty: write this placeholder table:

```markdown

NEXUS REVIEW REPORT

Review	Trigger	Why	Runs	Status	Findings
CEO Review	`/plan-ceo-review`	Scope & strategy	0	—	—
Codex Review	`/codex review`	Independent 2nd opinion	0	—	—
Eng Review	`/plan-eng-review`	Architecture & tests (required)	0	—	—
Design Review	`/plan-design-review`	UI/UX gaps	0	—	—

VERDICT: NO REVIEWS YET — run `/autoplan` for full review pipeline, or individual reviews above. ```

PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN: This writes to the plan file, which is the one file you are allowed to edit in plan mode. The plan file review report is part of the plan's living status.

browse: QA Testing & Dogfooding

Persistent headless Chromium. First call auto-starts (~3s), then ~100ms per command. State persists between calls (cookies, tabs, login sessions).

SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)

_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
B=""
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/nexus/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/nexus/browse/dist/browse"
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -z "$B" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/nexus/runtimes/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/nexus/runtimes/browse/dist/browse"
_SOURCE_BROWSE=~/.claude/skills/nexus/runtimes/browse/dist/browse
[ -z "$B" ] && [ -x "$_SOURCE_BROWSE" ] && B="$_SOURCE_BROWSE"
[ -z "$B" ] && B=~/.claude/skills/nexus/browse/dist/browse
if [ -x "$B" ]; then
  echo "READY: $B"
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi

If NEEDS_SETUP:

1. Tell the user: "nexus browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
2. Run: cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup
3. If bun is not installed:

   if ! command -v bun >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     BUN_VERSION="1.3.10"
     BUN_INSTALL_SHA="bab8acfb046aac8c72407bdcce903957665d655d7acaa3e11c7c4616beae68dd"
     tmpfile=$(mktemp)
     curl -fsSL "https://bun.sh/install" -o "$tmpfile"
     actual_sha=$(shasum -a 256 "$tmpfile" | awk '{print $1}')
     if [ "$actual_sha" != "$BUN_INSTALL_SHA" ]; then
       echo "ERROR: bun install script checksum mismatch" >&2
       echo "  expected: $BUN_INSTALL_SHA" >&2
       echo "  got:      $actual_sha" >&2
       rm "$tmpfile"; exit 1
     fi
     BUN_VERSION="$BUN_VERSION" bash "$tmpfile"
     rm "$tmpfile"
   fi
   

Core QA Patterns

1. Verify a page loads correctly

$B goto https://yourapp.com
$B text                          # content loads?
$B console                       # JS errors?
$B network                       # failed requests?
$B is visible ".main-content"    # key elements present?

2. Test a user flow

$B goto https://app.com/login
$B snapshot -i                   # see all interactive elements
$B fill @e3 "[e-mail]"
$B fill @e4 "password"
$B click @e5                     # submit
$B snapshot -D                   # diff: what changed after submit?
$B is visible ".dashboard"       # success state present?

3. Verify an action worked

$B snapshot                      # baseline
$B click @e3                     # do something
$B snapshot -D                   # unified diff shows exactly what changed

4. Visual evidence for bug reports

$B snapshot -i -a -o /tmp/annotated.png   # labeled screenshot
$B screenshot /tmp/bug.png                # plain screenshot
$B console                                # error log

5. Find all clickable elements (including non-ARIA)

$B snapshot -C                   # finds divs with cursor:pointer, onclick, tabindex
$B click @c1                     # interact with them

6. Assert element states

$B is visible ".modal"
$B is enabled "#submit-btn"
$B is disabled "#submit-btn"
$B is checked "#agree-checkbox"
$B is editable "#name-field"
$B is focused "#search-input"
$B js "document.body.textContent.includes('Success')"

7. Test responsive layouts

$B responsive /tmp/layout        # mobile + tablet + desktop screenshots
$B viewport 375x812              # or set specific viewport
$B screenshot /tmp/mobile.png

8. Test file uploads

$B upload "#file-input" /path/to/file.pdf
$B is visible ".upload-success"

9. Test dialogs

$B dialog-accept "yes"           # set up handler
$B click "#delete-button"        # trigger dialog
$B dialog                        # see what appeared
$B snapshot -D                   # verify deletion happened

10. Compare environments

$B diff https://staging.app.com https://prod.app.com

11. Show screenshots to the user

After $B screenshot, $B snapshot -a -o, or $B responsive, always use the Read tool on the output PNG(s) so the user can see them. Without this, screenshots are invisible.

User Handoff

When you hit something you can't handle in headless mode (CAPTCHA, complex auth, multi-factor login), hand off to the user:

# 1. Open a visible Chrome at the current page
$B handoff "Stuck on CAPTCHA at login page"

# 2. Tell the user what happened (via AskUserQuestion)
#    "I've opened Chrome at the login page. Please solve the CAPTCHA
#     and let me know when you're done."

# 3. When user says "done", re-snapshot and continue
$B resume

When to use handoff:

• CAPTCHAs or bot detection
• Multi-factor authentication (SMS, authenticator app)
• OAuth flows that require user interaction
• Complex interactions the AI can't handle after 3 attempts

The browser preserves all state (cookies, localStorage, tabs) across the handoff. After resume, you get a fresh snapshot of wherever the user left off.

Snapshot Flags

The snapshot is your primary tool for understanding and interacting with pages.

-i        --interactive           Interactive elements only (buttons, links, inputs) with @e refs
-c        --compact               Compact (no empty structural nodes)
-d <N>    --depth                 Limit tree depth (0 = root only, default: unlimited)
-s <sel>  --selector              Scope to CSS selector
-D        --diff                  Unified diff against previous snapshot (first call stores baseline)
-a        --annotate              Annotated screenshot with red overlay boxes and ref labels
-o <path> --output                Output path for annotated screenshot (default: <temp>/browse-annotated.png)
-C        --cursor-interactive    Cursor-interactive elements (@c refs — divs with pointer, onclick)

All flags can be combined freely. -o only applies when -a is also used. Example: $B snapshot -i -a -C -o /tmp/annotated.png

Ref numbering: @e refs are assigned sequentially (@e1, @e2, ...) in tree order. @c refs from -C are numbered separately (@c1, @c2, ...).

After snapshot, use @refs as selectors in any command:

$B click @e3       $B fill @e4 "value"     $B hover @e1
$B html @e2        $B css @e5 "color"      $B attrs @e6
$B click @c1       # cursor-interactive ref (from -C)

Output format: indented accessibility tree with @ref IDs, one element per line.

  @e1 [heading] "Welcome" [level=1]
  @e2 [textbox] "Email"
  @e3 [button] "Submit"

Refs are invalidated on navigation — run snapshot again after goto.

CSS Inspector & Style Modification

Inspect element CSS

$B inspect .header              # full CSS cascade for selector
$B inspect                      # latest picked element from sidebar
$B inspect --all                # include user-agent stylesheet rules
$B inspect --history            # show modification history

Modify styles live

$B style .header background-color #1a1a1a   # modify CSS property
$B style --undo                              # revert last change
$B style --undo 2                            # revert specific change

Clean screenshots

$B cleanup --all                 # remove ads, cookies, sticky, social
$B cleanup --ads --cookies       # selective cleanup
$B prettyscreenshot --cleanup --scroll-to ".pricing" --width 1440 ~/Desktop/hero.png

Output Contract

Every browser QA run should return evidence, not just a narrative:

• URL or route tested.
• Commands run or the user flow exercised.
• Final page state assertion, console/network summary, and screenshot path when visual evidence was captured.
• Any blocker requiring /connect-chrome, /setup-browser-cookies, or user handoff.

For screenshots, always read the generated PNG so the user can inspect the actual browser evidence.
