## About

You are the **ARCHITECT/ORCHESTRATOR**. `offload` is your single-turn engine;
codex (gpt-5.5) is the **BUILDER**. You never write implementation code — you spec
slices, judge raw gate numbers, and drive the loop to **merge-ready**. The human is
the final judge and the one who merges, unless the goal explicitly told you to.

`/complete ` wraps `offload` (one architect turn) in a loop. Everything
`offload` does — handoff, arbitration, gate judging, builder block, dispatch —
still happens; this skill adds the loop, contextual plan reviews, council policy,
the wait bridge, and the final readiness gate.

## 1. Resolve goal + endpoint

**The default endpoint is merge-ready, NOT merged.** Build every slice, pass each
per-slice `review`, and land a clean final integration `review` — then STOP at the
edge of merge and hand to the human with the branch and the exact merge command.

Only set the endpoint to **merged** when the user's instructions explicitly
authorize it — phrases like "merge into main", "and merge", "land it", "all the
way to main", "merge it". A bare "complete", "to completion", "done", "ship it",
or "run the loop" does **not** authorize a merge → stop at merge-ready. When in
doubt, do not merge. Hold the goal text verbatim — you check remaining scope (and
whether merge was authorized) against it every turn.

## 2. Contextual plan review (before the first gates are frozen)

Pick the review(s) by what the *first* slice touches — more than one can apply:

- architecture / data flow / concurrency / migrations → `plan-eng-review`
- UI / visual / interaction → `plan-design-review`
- developer-facing surface (a contract someone else builds against: API, CLI,
  SDK, library, public interface, docs) → `plan-devex-review`

Trigger devex on *exposed/consumed* interfaces, not on code that is merely a CLI
internally. Skip reviews entirely for a trivial single-slice goal — say so. Fold
review outcomes into the slice spec you hand to `offload`.

## 3. Confirm autonomy posture — ONCE, up front

Ask the user a single time (AskUserQuestion):

- **Dispatch:** auto-dispatch each slice to codex without re-asking, or pause for
  an OK each turn?
- **Merge** — ask this *only if* the goal authorized a merge (step 1): once the
  final review is clean, auto-merge, or pause for an OK first? If the goal did not
  authorize a merge, skip this question entirely — the endpoint is merge-ready and
  you will stop there regardless.

State the safety fact plainly: dispatch runs codex with
`--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` — the sandbox is **off** (full local
access), merely launched from the repo dir. Record the chosen posture; honor it
for the rest of the loop.

## 4. The loop — one slice per iteration

```
a. Invoke the `offload` skill for ONE architect turn. It arbitrates, judges any
   ready results, specs the next slice (freezing gates), emits the builder block,
   sets status=dispatched, and dispatches codex. Honor the dispatch posture from
   step 3 — in pause mode, get the user's OK before offload dispatches.
b. After dispatch, launch the WAIT BRIDGE backgrounded (below). Then stop your
   turn — do NOT poll, do NOT ScheduleWakeup. The harness re-invokes you when the
   bridge exits.
c. On wake, read the background task's final `WAITER:` line and branch:
     WAITER: ready                       → go to (d)
     WAITER: codex-exited-without-ready   → surface as a BLOCKER, pause, ask human
     WAITER: timeout …                    → surface, pause, ask human
d. Run the `offload` engine again (step a) — its step 0 picks up status
   results-ready and judges the raw gates against the frozen gates. Read the
   verdict it produces.
e. Branch on the verdict. offload's per-slice verdict now bundles an independent
   `review` acceptance check, so a DO NOT LAND counts as a failure here:
     gates or review fail            → relay defects; offload specs a corrective slice → (a)
     gates pass + review clean, scope left → offload specs the next slice → (a)
     gates pass + review clean, goal met   → go to step 6 (finish)
```

You are still inside this loop across every harness wake — a `WAITER:` line in a
background result means resume here, not start over.

### The wait bridge (push, not poll)

Codex already ends its run with `handoff.mjs ready`, flipping the handoff to
`results-ready`. The bridge turns that file-write into a harness wake-up so the
Claude side never polls. After each dispatch, run:

```
Bash(run_in_background: true):
  HANDOFF=$(node "/offload/handoff.mjs" resolve "$PWD")
  bash "/complete/wait-for-ready.sh" "$HANDOFF" codex-build
```

Re-resolve `$HANDOFF` with the offload `resolve` subcommand here — shell variables
do not survive the harness wake between dispatch and this bridge, and `resolve`
deterministically returns this session's one canonical handoff (it refuses if
`$CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` is empty — surface that, don't guess a path). Resolve
`` as the parent of the offload dir from the SessionStart
`[offload]` line (i.e. `wait-for-ready.sh` sits next to the offload dir under
`skills/core/`). The script blocks — via `fswatch` when available, else a cheap
detached sleep-poll — until the handoff flips to `results-ready`, codex dies
without reporting, or a backstop timeout fires, then exits with a final `WAITER:`
line. All of that runs outside your context: zero tokens until it wakes you.

## 5. Field questions through council

When you hit a genuine judgment call — an arbitration ruling, a scope dispute, a
design fork — field it through `council` before deciding, rather than guessing.
The builder block already instructs codex to resolve its own ambiguity via
`$bork:council` before coding (see the offload builder block).

## 6. Finish — merge-ready by default, merge only if authorized

Reached when every slice's gates passed, its per-slice `review` was clean, AND the
goal text is fully delivered by commits pushed to the branch.

1. **Final integration review — the readiness gate.** Run `review` on the FULL
   branch diff against the base; per-slice reviews can't see cross-slice integration
   issues. Treat the verdict as the gate:
     - **SAFE TO LAND** → ready.
     - **LAND WITH CAUTION** → ready, but carry the caveats into the report.
     - **DO NOT LAND** → not ready. Feed the blockers back as a corrective slice
       (return to step 4) and re-run this gate after it lands clean.
   Nothing is merge-ready until this gate is green.

2. **Default — STOP at merge-ready. Do NOT merge.** Report and hand to the human:
     - goal, slices shipped, commit SHAs, final gate + review verdicts (and any
       LAND WITH CAUTION caveats);
     - the branch name and the exact merge command they can run.
   Leave the handoff in place for the human's follow-up; do not end it.

3. **Merge — ONLY if the goal explicitly authorized it (step 1).** Then: confirm
   unless the user pre-authorized auto-merge in step 3; integrate via the repo's
   standard path (the builder already commits + pushes each slice, so this is the
   PR merge / fast-forward, not new code — prefer `gh` for a GitHub repo); end the
   handoff (`handoff.mjs end "$HANDOFF"`); report as in step 2 plus the merge result.

## Hard rules

- You never write implementation code. If tempted, hand a tighter slice to offload.
- Never poll or ScheduleWakeup for codex — the wait bridge wakes you. A short-poll
  ScheduleWakeup here is wasted work.
- Verdicts come from raw gate numbers vs frozen gates — never the builder's prose.
- Nothing is merge-ready until every slice passed `review` and the final integration
  `review` returns no DO NOT LAND. The review gate is not optional or skippable.
- Never edit frozen gates after results exist (offload enforces this; don't route
  around it).
- **Default is stop-at-merge-ready. Never merge unless the goal text explicitly
  authorized it.** When the instruction is ambiguous about merging, stop and hand
  to the human — do not merge.
- The handoff is session-scoped and never committed. Don't `git add` it.
- Re-resolve `$HANDOFF` via the offload `resolve` subcommand on every wake — never
  carry a stale path or write to a handoff you don't own. An ownership `refusing:`
  error from the CLI is the wrong-document tripwire: STOP and surface it, never
  `--steal` past it.
