HARD-GATE
Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.
Available Tactics
| Tactic | Role | |--------|------| | provocation-generation | Generate PO provocations from negated axioms | | assumption-enumeration | Surface assumptions to negate |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role | |-----|------| | assumption-perturbation | Perturb each axiom and observe consequences | | reversal-generation | Generate formal negations of axioms | | constructive-rebellion | Build alternatives from negated axioms | | destruction-synthesis | Synthesize negation outputs |
Execution Guidance
1. **Surface axioms**: Use assumption-enumeration tactic to identify paradigmatic assumptions 2. **Apply PO**: For each axiom, state "PO: [negation]" — suspend judgment 3. **Perturb**: Run assumption-perturbation to observe system response under negation 4. **Extract movement**: Use provocation-generation to find constructive directions 5. **Build alternatives**: Use constructive-rebellion to form viable solutions 6. **Synthesize**: Produce structured output via destruction-synthesis

- /formated-results
Closing skill for the research-executor, loaded as the last step of formated-specs. Summarize the design just produced into one research-result JSON fenced block in your reply. Do not execute the research.
Open skill - /formated-specs
Spec-slot skill for the research-executor. Emit the 4-layer DARE orchestration of the assigned topic as one research-graph JSON fenced block in your reply. Replaces the generic spec-writing step.
Open skill - /injection-fidelity
Loss-1 judge (codex role). Given one sample's de-identified dialogue and its PolicyCard, decide axis-by-axis whether the user-simulator enacted the card's per-axis pressure. Judge enactment of the card, never whether the research is good.
Open skill - /ladder-quality-order
Loss-2 judge (codex role). Over one topic's 6 shuffled research-design samples, pairwise-rank by quality using the D1–D5 standard. Emit the pairwise log; the harness computes the order and the ladder verdicts. Judge quality difference, never against academic standards.
Open skill - /optimization-loop
The optimizer brain for the ladder-foundry pretraining loop. Runs the two-level nested batch loop, delegates gating to gate_eval, attributes a failing batch to one weight (attribute-first), and recovers from disk after compaction. Control flow is fully scripted; only the
Open skill - /acu-nugget-recall
Tactic: Extract atomic units from one paper and score how much of a caller-supplied summary covers. Use for ACU-style binary or Nugget-style ternary recall checks; cannot run without a target summary.
