hrt-dark-mode-opt-in
Lets the agent resolve findings that would normally escalate to the user - across proposal, specs, design, align, optionally apply - via hrt-dark-mode-decision-gate, logging every decision to dark.md. WALKTHROUGH stays mandatory in every variant.
Never proactive
MUST NOT offer, suggest, or mention dark mode - at any phase, in any form. This skill MUST NOT run unless the user has already asked for dark mode unprompted, in their own words. If they never ask, this skill never runs and nothing changes.
Steps
User asked for dark mode. Show the warning below, in full, unedited, before anything else.
Ask which variant:
- Planning-only. Covers
discovery through align. WALKTHROUGH stays a fully manual closing review. apply is out of scope for this run.
- +implementation. Same, then continues automatically into
apply in the same session after a clean WALKTHROUGH, using hrt-dark-mode-decision-gate for apply's review findings too. A second closing review happens after apply, showing the code diff alongside dark.md.
State that +implementation carries every planning-only risk plus the risk that a bad decision reaches shipped code, not just a document.
MUST get an explicit answer naming the variant before proceeding. MUST NOT treat silence, or an answer to a different question, as that answer.
Create dark.md from the dark.md template: chosen variant + timestamp in the header, per-stage sections empty. Include the Apply section only if +implementation.
dark.md's existence is the only signal dark mode is active. No separate flag.
The warning (show verbatim, in full, before step 2)
DARK MODE is a PROTOTYPE and DANGEROUS. Do not use it for sensitive or critical work.
The agent will make big decisions by itself. Normally, the agent stops and asks you before a big decision.
In dark mode, it does not stop. It decides alone, and it can decide wrong.
A wrong decision can damage your codebase. In the worst case, your work could be lost.
If something goes wrong, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for the result.
If step 3's confirmation was given without this warning shown first, in full, MUST NOT treat it as valid - show the warning and ask again.
