skill-creator-max

This SKILL.md is the conductor. It does not compose, design, build, or compress anything itself. It dispatches a fresh subagent per role, monitors its return, judges the typed artifact against a gate, and routes the next move. All of its power comes from the artifacts, never from reading a subagent's process (O1/O2). Keep this body thin — every heavy rule lives in roles/ and loads only into the dispatched subagent's context, never here.

0. Trigger discipline (this skill is expensive — protect the trigger)

Fire ONLY when the user is explicitly asking to author/build/create an agent skill. This skill spends a large token budget; a false trigger is costly.

Hard anti-triggers — never self-fire on: summarizing or writing daily/session memory, journaling, "recall/save what happened today" / "总结/记录今天的记忆", or any generic "create / make / summarize X" where X is not an agent skill. If skill-authoring intent is ambiguous, ASK one question before dispatching anything — do not spend the pipeline on a guess.

1. The pipeline — five typed artifacts (the conductor judges artifacts, not chat)

Each role runs in its OWN fresh subagent, handed only its role-pack + the upstream artifact(s). The conductor gates on the returned artifact, then routes.

The conductor itself produces the sixth artifact: the Decision Record + Learning Record (§7). Structure gates are L0 only — passing a gate is never evidence the artifact is substantively right (schema-valid ≠ true, pit 1). Substance is bought by the battery (§5) and by second-order spot-checks. Each artifact's charter + grounding: references/orchestration-anchors.md §1.

Two-stage structure check (greenfield build order). At stage 2 the Structure Contract names files the engineer has not built yet, so validate_structure does NOT check on-disk existence there. After the engineer stage the conductor RE-runs validate_structure --check-files so every unit's content_ref now resolves to a real file (fail-closed at that point). Reference-existence is an engineer-stage gate, not a guidance-stage one.

2. Dispatch protocol (O6 — four-piece packet, single writer)

Every dispatch carries four pieces: goal · output format (the artifact schema) · tools/sources · boundaries. One artifact has exactly one writer at any time. Parallel is legal only as (a) read-only intelligence (independent review/second-opinion, clean context, returns conclusions) or (b) mutually-exclusive shards with no shared write surface. Every dispatched role runs from a fresh context with no build-history leak — this is what decorrelates builder from grader (pit 5).

The battery dispatch carries three extra pieces its role-pack requires or it refuses/voids: budget (the pre-registered E9 rounds/marginal threshold), seeds[] (≥1 planted defect per lens, by the conductor — never the attacker), and required_tier (instance/model/human). See §5.

3. min() routing on gate failure (O3 — fix the smallest term, not the alarm)

行为正确性 ≈ min(spec 完整度, 结构承载力, eval 证据力). On any gate failure the conductor MUST emit a routing hypothesis: which upstream artifact/field is the smallest term (not "where it alarmed"). Route the repair budget there. The hypothesis is recorded in the Decision Record; if the repair does not clear the failure, the hypothesis is void and the failure-mode→stage map is corrected.

The failure-mode→owning-stage routing table: references/orchestration-anchors.md §2.

4. Two-tier gate economics (O4)

• High-leverage gates (first build, major version): independent, veto-holding, expensive — the battery (§5).
• Routine gates (each iteration, small edit): self-serve machine-runnable checklist distilled from incident history — never queue a fresh battery for a wording fix (don't send the Bar Raiser to check attendance).

5. Independent battery — O5 constitutional mandate

The builder's green light is NOT the end of evidence: builder + its own eval share a blind spot. At a high-leverage gate the conductor dispatches a fresh, build-history-blind subagent that attacks the built skill's observable behavior through roles/battery.md and records ONLY proven, reproducible breakages (PROVE-OR-FLAG). Before dispatch the conductor MUST (a) pre-register the E9 budget / marginal threshold (rounds cap + "N consecutive rounds no new P1/P2", scaled to spec.failure_cost) and (b) plant ≥1 seed per lens (a Coherence arithmetic contradiction, a Gaming existence-check cheat, a stale Evidence citation, an un-transcribable Reality rule, an un-clocked Foundation param) — a run that misses its seed is void. Stop is budget/marginal — never "N clean rounds" (the battery is asymptotic). At A33 high stakes, dispatch a DIFFERENT-VENDOR attacker for model-tier independence; roles/battery.md is self-contained (distilled from the vince-attacker lenses) so the default path needs no external skill.

effective_verdict = min(re-audit_verdict, battery_verdict); the written verdict may never exceed the battery verdict. A "green but visibly wrong" output is a gate FAILURE, not a pass. The lens rotation must periodically include an evaluator-audit lens (so cheating can't hide in the evaluation layer), and upstream-field author-homology is a standing battery check (E6 second shadow).

6. Capability ladder (O7 — earn autonomy with evidence)

Ships at O-L0 (every gate human-judged). Upgrade conditions are pre-registered (e.g. O-L1→O-L2: routine checklist N consecutive rounds zero disagreement with the human). Any serious incident auto-demotes one level (rollback before autonomy); demotion records its recovery condition.

7. Decision Record + Learning Record (O2/O8)

Every gate verdict is saved as a complete decision object: question · evidence (pointing at artifact entries) · options considered · options rejected + why · uncertainty · adjudicator · remediation path. A PASS with no rejected options is an un-thought signal. On pipeline close, emit a Learning Record with three fixed destinations: a checklist entry (O4), a Gotcha backfill (S6), and a KB revision (may weaken/overturn an existing article). The conductor self-gates this artifact through scripts/validate_decision (min-fold cap, O-L0→human adjudicator, learning-record completeness).
