Decide ship, skip, or defer
Read the execution contract before starting. Validate the final receipt with its parameterized verification.argv, replacing {python}, {skill_dir}, and {receipt} with concrete local values.
Name one user, one job, the smallest API or interaction contract, and one observable success metric. Compare the proposal with existing capability and require an observed failure before replacing anything.
Return exactly one recommendation:
SHIP: the user outcome, scope, proof, owner, and rollback are concrete.SKIP: existing capability already satisfies the outcome or value is below cost.DEFER: a named dependency or evidence gap prevents an honest decision.
Do not turn DEFER into an unbounded research backlog. State the single
observation that would reopen the decision.
