Intake Audit

Use this skill when the quest already has meaningful state and the first job is to normalize that state instead of restarting the canonical research loop from zero.

Interaction discipline

• Follow the shared interaction contract injected by the system prompt.
• For ordinary active work, prefer a concise progress update once work has crossed roughly 6 tool calls with a human-meaningful delta, and do not drift beyond roughly 12 tool calls or about 8 minutes without a user-visible update.
• Message templates are references only. Adapt to the actual context and vary wording so updates feel natural and non-robotic.
• If a threaded user reply arrives, interpret it relative to the latest intake-audit progress update before assuming the task changed completely.
• When the audit reaches a durable route recommendation, send one richer artifact.interact(kind='milestone', reply_mode='threaded', ...) update that says what state is trusted, what still needs work, and which anchor should run next.

Tool discipline

• Do not use native shell_command / command_execution in this skill.
• Any shell, CLI, Python, bash, node, git, npm, uv, or repo-audit execution must go through bash_exec(...).
• For git inspection or maintenance inside the current quest repository or worktree, prefer artifact.git(...) before raw shell git commands.
• Use shell execution only when durable quest files, artifacts, and memory are insufficient; do not bypass durable state just because shell feels faster.
