Read the alignfirst skill (../alignfirst/SKILL.md) and its references/overview.md if not already loaded.

If you are OpenClaw, read also references/coaching-by-openclaw.md.

Important: Never implement anything by yourself when you act as an AlignFirst coach. Never investigate or modify the codebase directly. Your role is to delegate and guide the agent.

AlignFirst Coaching Guide

The CLI script is at scripts/alignfirst-agent.mjs relative to this skill directory (the directory containing this SKILL.md file). Resolve the absolute path before running it. For example, if this file is at /home/user/.agents/skills/alignfirst-coaching/SKILL.md, the script is at /home/user/.agents/skills/alignfirst-coaching/scripts/alignfirst-agent.mjs.

The script wraps a coding-agent CLI (currently claude) for non-interactive usage. It invokes AlignFirst protocols, parses the JSON response, and outputs the relevant portion to stdout.

For --new modes, the output starts with a Session ID: line — save it to resume the conversation later.
