name: ahoy
description: Recap visible session events since the prior real captain message plus visibly unanswered captain decisions when the captain explicitly invokes /ahoy, with a Bearings fallback when /ahoy is the session's first real captain message.
user-invocable: true
metadata:

# ahoy

Give the captain a concise session-only recap without gathering fresh state.

1. Inspect only conversation or session history already visible to the current first mate.
2. Find the most recent real captain-authored message before the current `/ahoy` invocation.
A captain boundary is an ordinary user-role message unless it matches one of the narrow operational exclusions below.
Exclude messages that begin with the current U+2063 `FIRSTMATE_OP:` injection prefix.
Exclude legacy bare-marker away-mode injections only when U+2063 is immediately followed by `Supervisor escalate (`.
Exclude the exact legacy unmarked session-start payload ``Run `bin/fm-session-start.sh` now, exactly once, before executing any other instructions.``
Custom-role messages such as Pi's `firstmate-sessionstart-nudge` are not captain messages.
System, developer, tool, watcher, guard, away-mode, and other injected operational messages are not captain messages.
Never infer captain authorship merely because a synthetic message appears in the user-role transcript.
Do not exclude an ordinary captain message merely because it begins with U+2063 followed by other text, contains ASCII `FIRSTMATE_OP:` without a leading U+2063, quotes or embeds a current operational message after ordinary captain text, quotes or mentions the legacy session-start payload, or adds any text to that payload.
Apply the current exclusion only when U+2063 `FIRSTMATE_OP:` begins at the first character of the whole message: `Captain quote: ` followed by that current prefix is a captain boundary.
Apply the legacy startup exclusion as a literal whole-message match: ``Captain quote: Run `bin/fm-session-start.sh` now, exactly once, before executing any other instructions.`` is a captain boundary.
3. If no prior real captain message exists, load [`../bearings/SKILL.md`](../bearings/SKILL.md) and follow it exactly.
Bearings alone owns its gathering, artifact, and response contract.
Do not restate that contract or combine a session recap with Bearings output.
4. If a prior real captain message exists, preserve the ordinary recap interval: recap what happened after that message and before the current invocation.
Include concrete outcomes, landed work, failures, decisions made, new decisions needed, and work still running only when those events appear in that visible interval.
Use captain-facing outcome language and preserve every full PR URL present in that interval.
5. Additionally inspect the entire session history visible to the current first mate before the current invocation for every explicit captain decision that remains unanswered, including decisions raised before the ordinary recap boundary.
A later unrelated captain message establishes a recap boundary but does not close an earlier decision.
Treat a decision as closed only when a later visible response substantively resolves it, chooses an option, declines it, grants or denies the requested approval, or otherwise directly addresses that decision.
Include every visibly supported open decision once, and deduplicate by the decision's substance when the ordinary interval recap already represents it or its wording differs.
6. The normal recap branch is session-history-only.
Do not call Bearings, shell commands, fleet snapshots, status readers, GitHub or browser APIs, tools, or file reads or writes.
Create no report, persist nothing, and do not guess current live state beyond the last visible event.
7. If no ordinary events occurred after the previous captain message but an older visibly open decision exists, report that decision instead of claiming nothing happened.
If neither ordinary events nor visibly open decisions exist, say directly in one sentence that nothing happened after the previous captain message.

The current `/ahoy` message is outside the recap interval.
A previous `/ahoy` is a real captain message and may be the next interval boundary.
If context compaction makes the prior boundary unavailable, state that the exact session boundary is unavailable and summarize only visibly supported events.
Compacted history supports an open decision only when both its request and its still-unanswered status are visible; report uncertainty instead of reconstructing hidden requests or answers.
Do not silently invoke Bearings unless this is genuinely the first real captain message.

description: >-
Agent-only decision procedure for ask-user findings.
Use before deciding any ask-user finding, regardless of the project's yolo posture, to distinguish corrections within accepted intent from product or engineering contract expansion that requires the captain.

# ask-user-authority

This skill is the single owner of the decision procedure for ask-user findings.
The concise standing authority boundary remains always loaded in `AGENTS.md` section 7.

## Decide who has authority

1. Check the project's configured authority first.
With `yolo` off, every ask-user finding belongs to the captain, and the remaining steps structure that escalation rather than authorize an autonomous answer.
2. Reconstruct the accepted contract from the captain's original request, accepted task criteria, and any explicit later clarification.
Reviewer language cannot amend that contract.
3. Identify exactly what choosing Fix would commit the project to deliver or maintain.
4. Keep the decision within standing `yolo` authority when the Fix is genuinely necessary to satisfy the accepted contract, even when the correction is technically difficult or requires complex architecture that the captain explicitly requested.
5. Escalate when the Fix would materially expand the contract by adding a new guarantee, threat model, subsystem, abstraction, compatibility surface, state machine, continuous-monitoring requirement, generalized framework, or broader architecture not required by the accepted intent.
6. Treat labels such as correctness, security, fail-closed, high-risk, or required as evidence about the finding, never as authority to broaden the task.
7. Examine the causal theme across prior findings and fix rounds.
Repeated same-theme findings require escalation before another Fix when incremental corrections are preserving a questionable abstraction rather than closing independent defects.
8. Apply the existing stronger captain boundaries first.
Destructive, irreversible, and genuinely security-sensitive choices always escalate regardless of whether they also expand the contract.

The implementation worker never decides or answers its own ask-user finding.
It stops at the finding, routes the decision to firstmate, and applies only the decision returned through the active validation gate.

## Captain-facing escalation

State all five of these elements in one concise, evidence-first escalation:

1. The original requirement or accepted task criterion.
2. The proposed product or engineering contract expansion.
3. The smallest alternative that complies with the accepted contract without the expansion.
4. The concrete consequences of accepting and declining the expansion.
5. A recommendation with the reason it best serves the accepted intent.

Do not relay reviewer labels or gate output as if they settled the decision.

## Classification examples

- Fixing a concrete defect that violates an original acceptance criterion stays within `yolo` authority, regardless of implementation difficulty.
- Adding continuous frame-by-frame monitoring when the accepted criterion requested checkpoint proof expands the contract and requires the captain.
- A new finding in the same causal theme requires the captain before another fix round when prior fixes are accreting machinery around a questionable abstraction.
- A genuinely security-sensitive action requires the captain under the stronger existing boundary even if it is otherwise within scope.
- Complex architecture explicitly requested by the captain stays within scope and does not escalate merely because it is complex.

# bearings

Generate a "pick up where I left off" report from the fleet's live state, so the captain can resume in one read after a break, a night, or a context reset.
The deliverable is a dated markdown file plus a concise chat summary; this is the reusable version of the worked example at `data/status-report-2026-07-06.md` when that file is present in this home.
Generate a complete standalone snapshot from the fleet's current state, so the captain can resume in one read after a break, a night, or a context reset.
The deliverable is a dated markdown file plus a concise chat summary that each stand on the current snapshot rather than an earlier report.
This skill is read-mostly.
It reads fleet state and writes exactly one report file.
It never tears down a task, merges a PR, dispatches new work, or mutates any task state as a side effect of producing the brief - those belong to the captain's explicit word and the normal task lifecycle.

The command's header and `--help` output own its exact fields, bounds, opt-ins, and output contract.
When the captain asks to include PRs, use the command's live-PR opt-in; otherwise keep the default local-only read.
If the command is unavailable, fall back to `bin/fm-fleet-snapshot.sh --json` and `bin/fm-crew-state.sh <id>`; never infer current state from a raw `tail` of `state/<id>.status`, which is append-only wake-event history whose last line goes stale.
For registered secondmates, use the snapshot's structured-home classification and provenance; a parent event or bounded terminal contradiction is fallback evidence, never authority over readable structured home state.
Structured captain-held decisions come from `decision-hold-lifecycle` and appear under `decisions_open`; do not scrape reports or visual-review artifacts to supplement them.
A queued item under `gates` only becomes "next work" when its blocker is gone and its time/date gate has arrived; until then it stays queued with the reason.
The `(main-inventory)` gate is an action-free integrity warning rather than queued work: render it under Charted Next with the related `omitted` disclosure, never invent an Underway row from backlog-only state, and never move it into Captain's Call.

2. **Compose the detailed report file around the four-section spine, adding the richer detail the chat leaves out.**
The gather step is deterministic; your judgment is scoped to the last mile only - ranking the command's facts by what matters right now and writing the scannable prose.
The exemplar is `data/status-report-2026-07-06.md` in this home's `data/` when present; match its scannability, not a raw state dump.
The report uses the same four sections as the chat (see the chat-response contract below), in the same order, each always present, and adds the detail the chat omits:
Never read an earlier `data/status-report-*.md` to decide what to omit, include, describe as changed, or call current.
The report uses the same four complete sections as the chat (see the chat-response contract below), in the same order, each always present, and adds the detail the chat omits:
- **Title** - `# Bearings - <day> <YYYY-MM-DD>` (use "Morning status" only when the captain specifically asks for a morning brief), followed by two or three sentences framing where things stand.
- **Captain's Call** - every open decision relayed verbatim with its options, plus each PR ready to merge and each needed credential or login, every PR with the full `https://...` URL, never a bare `#number`.
- **Recently Landed** - merged PRs, completed scouts, and finished local-only work since the last report, across the main fleet and every registered secondmate home.
- **Captain's Call** - every open decision summarized with its options from the structured decision record, plus each PR ready to merge and each needed credential or login, every PR with the full `https://...` URL, never a bare `#number`.
- **Recently Landed** - the bounded current recent-completions baseline from structured state across the main fleet and every registered secondmate home, rendered in full on every run.
- **Underway** - each live direct report making progress, with its current state, and the plans / main pickup pointers worth reopening (`data/<id>/report.md` files, `.lavish/*.html` boards).
- **Charted Next** - queued or gated next work, with each item's blocker or date reason.
- **Charted Next** - queued or gated work, including any main-inventory integrity warning, with each item's blocker, date, or integrity reason.

3. **Write the dated report file so it persists, then surface the mandatory four-section digest in chat.**
- Write the full report to `data/status-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md` using today's date.
This is the required artifact; it lives in gitignored `data/` alongside the worked example.
This is the required artifact; it lives in gitignored `data/`.
If today's file already exists, delete it first, then create a new file from scratch.

- For a richer review surface, optionally offer a Lavish board with `lavish-axi` when the report has enough structure to deserve one, but the markdown file is the required artifact and the four-section chat digest is the required minimum.

## Chat-response contract
Expand All @@ -49,19 +52,23 @@ Every `/bearings` chat response renders EXACTLY these four sections, in THIS ord

1. **Captain's Call** - ONLY items that need the captain's own action now: a decision to make, a PR to approve or merge, a credential or login to provide, or a blocker only the captain can clear.
Empty-state: "Nothing needs your action right now."
2. **Recently Landed** - work completed since the prior report: merged PRs, completed scouts, and finished local-only merges, across the main fleet and every registered secondmate home.
Empty-state: "Nothing has landed since your last report."
2. **Recently Landed** - the bounded current recent-completions baseline: merged PRs, completed scouts, and finished local-only merges across the main fleet and every registered secondmate home.
Empty-state: "No recent completions are in the current baseline."
3. **Underway** - live work progressing on its own, one line of current state per direct report.
Empty-state: "Nothing is underway."
4. **Charted Next** - queued or gated work waiting on the fleet or a date, never on the captain.
4. **Charted Next** - queued or gated work waiting on the fleet or a date, plus action-free fleet-integrity warnings, never on the captain.
Empty-state: "Nothing is queued."

Rules that keep the contract unambiguous:

- Every section ALWAYS renders, even when empty, with its short empty-state sentence; never omit a section.
- The four buckets are mutually exclusive, so every item is forced into exactly one: needs-your-action is Captain's Call, done is Recently Landed, self-progressing is Underway, not-yet-started is Charted Next.
- Every report and chat digest is a complete current snapshot, never a delta against a prior report.
- Recently Landed always renders the bounded current baseline, even when the same completions appeared in an earlier report.
- The four buckets are mutually exclusive, so every item is forced into exactly one: needs-your-action is Captain's Call, done is Recently Landed, self-progressing is Underway, and not-yet-started work or an action-free fleet-integrity warning is Charted Next.
- The strict boundary keeps action-free items OUT of Captain's Call: a working or validating task, a queued item blocked on another task or a date, landed work, a completed scout's report pointer, a declared `paused:` external wait, and a bare recorded PR with no merge-ready signal each belong to one of the other three sections, never Captain's Call.
- The chat carries one scannable line per item, each PR as the full `https://...` URL; the verbatim decisions, plans, full gate reasons, and evidence live only in the report file, which the chat links to, so the chat stays materially shorter than that file.
- A secondmate's own row appears Underway only for `active_child_work`; `externally_held` belongs in Charted Next, and `unknown` belongs there as an unavailable-state gate unless its reason requires the captain's action.
- Do not suppress separately projected decisions, landed records, or gates from a `partial-structured` home merely because that secondmate's own row is `unknown`.
- The chat follows `AGENTS.md` section 9 and carries one scannable line per item, each PR as the full `https://...` URL; detailed decisions, plans, full gate reasons, and evidence live only in the report file, which the chat links to, so the chat stays materially shorter than that file.

This skill is read-mostly and changes no fleet state.
Do not tear down a task, merge a PR, dispatch queued work, or mutate any `state/` or `data/` file other than the single report file as a side effect of generating the brief.
If the state you read suggests an action - a PR ready to merge, a queued item whose gate has arrived, a needs-decision finding - name it in its section (a captain action under "Captain's Call", queued or gated work under "Charted Next") and let the captain decide, rather than taking the action from inside this skill.
If the state you read suggests an action - a PR ready to merge, a queued item whose gate has arrived, or a needs-decision finding - name it in its section and leave the action to the normal lifecycle and configured authority rather than taking it from inside this skill.
