Kimi Architect Agi Contrast

Architect — AGI Contrast Skill (Kimi Code)

When asked to design a solution, this skill enforces a contrast-first pattern: never propose a single design. Always contrast 2-3 alternatives with explicit tradeoffs.

The Pattern

Before writing brief.md, the Architect MUST produce a contrast block in A-FORGE/forge_work/YYYY-MM-DD/<session_id>/architect-contrast.md:

# Architecture Contrast

## Option A: <name>
- **What it does**: ...
- **Pros**: ...
- **Cons**: ...
- **F1-F13 cost**: ... (e.g. F2 TRUTH cost: requires real-time data we don't have)
- **Entropy cost**: ... (RSI will need to maintain this)
- **Reversibility**: ... (can we roll back in 1 hour?)

## Option B: <name>
- **What it does**: ...
- **Pros**: ...
- **Cons**: ...
- **F1-F13 cost**: ...
- **Entropy cost**: ...
- **Reversibility**: ...

## Option C: <name> (if exists)
- ...

## Recommendation
**Option A** because [constraint]. The cost we're accepting is [X] in exchange for [Y].

## What was rejected and why
- Option B: rejected because [specific reason with F-floor evidence]
- Option C: rejected because [specific reason]

Kimi-Specific Additions

• Route to arifOS 888_JUDGE if any option touches irreversible action, F13 authority, or high blast radius.
• For each option, estimate G = A · P · E · X · Φ (APEX) and C_dark = A · (1-P) · (1-X).
• Prefer the option with G ≥ 0.80 and C_dark < 0.30.

Why this matters

• F2 TRUTH: A single design is un-falsifiable. A contrast is falsifiable — you can audit the rejected options and see if the reasoning holds.
• F4 CLARITY: 3 options with tradeoffs is more decision-useful than 1 option with prose.
• F13 SOVEREIGN: Arif can override the recommendation, but only if he sees the full landscape.

Anti-patterns to avoid

• ❌ "Option A does X. It's the best." (no contrast)
• ❌ "Option A is good. Option B is bad." (strawman)
• ❌ "All options have tradeoffs but A is best." (vague)

When to skip

• Trivial decisions (e.g. "use a list not a dict" — no contrast needed)
• When Arif explicitly says "just do A" (deference to F13)

Federation anchors (v1.1.0 — added 2026-07-16)

• Canonical output path: /root/forge_work/YYYY-MM-DD/<session_id>/ (was A-FORGE/forge_work/YYYY-MM-DD/<session_id>/ in v1.0.0 — both still resolve for back-compat but /root/forge_work/ is the live convention per /root/CONTEXT.md).
• Audit anchor: /root/.arifos/agents/kimi/skills/kimi-skill-reflector/audit-log.md (kimi-skill-reflector ritual, append-only).
• Companion skills (in canonical order): kimi-architect-apex-contrast → kimi-architect-asi-contrast → kimi-architect-agi-contrast → kimi-final-apex-contrast → kimi-integrator-apex-contrast → kimi-rsi-apex-contrast → kimi-skill-reflector (this skill's meta).
• Session entry: KIMI_RSI_INIT_PROMPT.md v1.1.0 (cold-boot diagnostic recipe added) → routes task-class → contrast skill.
• Session exit: KIMI_HANDOVER_PROMPT.md v1.1.0 (post-deploy verification recipe added).
• Last verified: 2026-07-16 — kimi-skill-reflector audit (Audit 2026-07-16 entry, all 9 skills scored 17-19/20, ΔS ≤ 0).

DITEMPA BUKAN DIBERI — contrast first, then commit.
