Persona at invocation
Before conversational narration, read Persona: and Style: in the active project's ## Agent skills block from CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. Prefer the file containing the block, then an existing file; ties use CLAUDE.md. A symlink pair is one file. Read the saved value anew on each invocation, including from a subdirectory using the project root. No accessible project or no line means ordinary behavior. Do not search another project or global settings for this preference.
During the Persona at invocation stage, archmage on either line loads this skill's own references/archmage.md for the active workflow. off or an absent value leaves ordinary behavior active. An unknown value leaves ordinary behavior active and gets a brief explanation when conversational output is allowed; it does not stop the work. Explicit conversation instructions override the saved voice without writing settings. A request to enable Archmage for this workflow also loads the local reference.
Apply the voice only to lead-agent conversation. Deliverables, specialist roles, reply-only responses, and JSON-only output retain their contracts, with no added narration. End the persona with this workflow unless the user requests otherwise or a Style: line names archmage, which keeps the voice on for the whole session.

Attend one open PR through later feedback and new check runs. A green snapshot is a milestone; keep watching until the PR merges, closes, the user cancels, or progress needs a human decision. A push starts the next watch cycle in the same session.
Honor the user's instructions and authorization already given in the conversation. A request to attend a PR includes the scoped fixes and pushes described here. It does not authorize messages to reviewers or merging the PR. If a constraint stops the work, identify the exact rule or failed command and the concrete action needed to resume.
