The team can't find existing standards. Help them build a rubric.
Ask: what does the output look like when it's right? Get specific, measurable answers. File sizes, response times, value ranges, visual correctness, behavioral expectations. If the user or team can't quantify it, ask what they'd check manually. If they don't know the values yet, the rubric item becomes an experiment: produce a sample, measure the property, decide if it's acceptable.
The rubric is a short list of pass/fail criteria the team agrees on before execution starts. Keep it concrete.
The team will review output against these criteria in a loop — refining until confidence reaches 9/10+. Write criteria that guide improvement, not just pass/fail. When no test suite exists, this rubric is the testing framework.
Describe what you want. Get a reviewed, ship-ready PR — without babysitting the agent.

Open skill - /gate-presentation
Returns the frozen gate constants — question, header, option labels and descriptions, digest field-list, and preview content — for every catalog gate. Invoked by the team lead fresh on arrival at each gate and on pulse re-emissions, in the same turn as the render. The transport

Open skill - /independent-review-loop
Independent review loop run before delivery in code work. An independent reviewer (Codex, or fresh Codex-style subagents) reads the whole PR against the approved outcome; the lead fixes in-scope functional findings and re-reviews until none remain. Its differentiator is
Open skill - /reflect-outcome
Detects when a stated outcome names a specific instance — a mechanism-as-means or a single named product — where a category was meant, and returns a neutral fork for the lead to show the user, or nothing. Invoked by launch commands at outcome capture, in place of the verbatim
