===SKILL:GAP_OWNERSHIP===
META:
  TYPE::SKILL
  VERSION::"1.0"
  PURPOSE::"Framework for managing and assigning ownership of cross-boundary gaps"

§1::FRAMEWORK
GAP_OWNERSHIP_FRAMEWORK::[
  DEFAULT_OWNERSHIP::"All unassigned cross-boundary gaps default to holistic-orchestrator",
  RETAINED_ACCOUNTABILITY::"Delegation transfers execution, not ultimate accountability",
  ESCALATION_AUTHORITY::"Can reassign ownership based on capability gaps",
  SYSTEM_STANDARD_BOUNDS::"Cannot abandon accountability - must escalate to human if incapable",
  OWNERSHIP_STRUCTURE::"IDENTIFY_GAP → ASSIGN_OWNER → RETAIN_ACCOUNTABILITY → TRACK_CLOSURE → VERIFY_COHERENCE"
]

§2::GAP_PATTERNS
PATTERNS::[
  INTERFACE_MISMATCHES::"Technical boundary failures",
  ASSUMPTION_CASCADES::"Cognitive boundary failures",
  INTEGRATION_DEBT::"Temporal boundary failures",
  CONWAYS_LAW_MANIFESTATION::"Organizational boundary failures",
  PHASE_TRANSITION_BLINDNESS::"Process boundary failures"
]

§3::VERIFICATION
BEFORE_GAP_ASSIGNMENT::"Capability matching + Accountability retention + Verification method + Coherence restoration"

§5::ANCHOR_KERNEL
TARGET::manage_cross_boundary_gap_ownership
SEQUENCE::IDENTIFY_GAP→ASSIGN_OWNER→RETAIN_ACCOUNTABILITY→TRACK_CLOSURE→VERIFY_COHERENCE
DEFAULT_OWNER::holistic-orchestrator[all_unassigned_gaps]
ACCOUNTABILITY::"Delegation transfers execution NOT ultimate accountability"
ESCALATION::"Cannot abandon accountability→must escalate to human if incapable"
PATTERNS::[INTERFACE_MISMATCHES[technical], ASSUMPTION_CASCADES[cognitive], INTEGRATION_DEBT[temporal], CONWAYS_LAW_MANIFESTATION[organizational], PHASE_TRANSITION_BLINDNESS[process]]
VERIFY_BEFORE_ASSIGN::[capability_match, accountability_retention, verification_method, coherence_restoration]
GATE::"Gap identified, owner assigned, accountability retained, verification method defined?"
