Adaptogen Run

adaptogen-run

You are in the adaptogen-run state of the adaptogen DAG. Entered from adaptogen-orient (existing skill, first pass), from adaptogen-build-new (freshly drafted skill's first real exercise), from adaptogen-critique (looping back for a fresh baseline after an edit), or from adaptogen-commit-confirm (confirming re-run, or a regression after git revert). This skill is self-contained regardless of which of those brought you here.

What must hold here, always

• Never dispatch this run inline in your own context. Use the Agent tool with a fully self-contained prompt. The dispatched agent inherits nothing from you -- no conversation history, no files you've already read, nothing. Anything it needs must be pasted into the prompt directly: the absolute path to the target, the concrete task, and (if looping back with a specific prior finding in mind) a task built to actually exercise that finding's code path.
• The one exception: leaf-agent mode. If you are yourself a subagent and cannot spawn a nested Agent, this collapses onto you directly -- run the target's procedure in your own context instead of dispatching. Check which mode you're in before doing anything else in this state; it changes every remaining instruction here from "dispatch" to "do directly."
• Never simulate. Whoever executes the target's procedure -- a dispatched agent, or you in leaf-agent mode -- must actually run it: actually call the tools the target's own text says to call, and report exactly what happened, including literal file paths, literal command output, literal edits made if the target itself edits things. A report that reads as plausible narrative without cited tool output is not a real run.
• The task must carry at least one concrete anchor: a real file path it will read, a real command it will run, a real prior state it will encounter. Scan the target for any if <condition> / file-existence branch, or (if the target is itself a DAG of sibling skills) any branch named in its own transition conditions, and seed the task so the run actually hits one -- a task with no concrete anchor produces a happy-path run that surfaces nothing for adaptogen-critique to work with.

Do this

1. Build the task: absolute path to the target's entry SKILL.md (which itself may route into sibling state-skills -- tell whoever runs it to follow the target's own routing, the same way this DAG expects to be followed), the concrete task with its anchor, and an explicit instruction to report literally what happened, not a summary of intent.
2. Dispatch via the Agent tool (or execute directly, in leaf-agent mode). Wait for the full report.
3. Capture the report verbatim -- you will paste it whole into adaptogen-critique, not a paraphrase of it.

Transition

• Report captured -> dispatch Skill(skill="adaptogen-critique") now. State explicitly: the target's resolved absolute path, the concrete task given, the dispatched (or self-run) report verbatim, and whether you are in leaf-agent mode (adaptogen-critique's own text branches on this). Skills share no context automatically -- name all four facts directly in that dispatch.
• The caller who invoked this pass explicitly scoped it to one bounded, reportable pass, and this is that bound -> report this run's own findings plainly and stop (STOP, no further dispatch). This overrides the default transition to adaptogen-critique only when the caller's stated bound is reached here, not by default.
