How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Boundary Enumeration
Tactics
- boundary-probing
Method
1. Identify all parameter dimensions of the artifact 2. For each dimension, determine nominal range and boundaries 3. Generate test values at boundaries (min, max, min-1, max+1) 4. Test claim validity at each boundary value 5. Record breakpoints where claim fails 6. Synthesize into validity envelope
Budget
| Size | Parameter dimensions | Values per dimension | Total probes | |---|---|---|---| | S | 3 | 4 | 12 | | M | 6 | 6 | 36 | | L | 10 | 8 | 80 |
Orchestration
1. Dispatch `parameter-space-mapping` to identify dimensions 2. Dispatch `extreme-value-generation` for each dimension 3. Dispatch `breakpoint-detection` at each extreme 4. Dispatch `validity-envelope-construction` to synthesize

- /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.
