File contents

🔒 Prerequisites (Mandatory)

Before execution: 0. Mode Check: Verify .hub-mode and apply token-distiller guidelines.

Context Check: Read .specs/project/STATE.md, .specs/project/MEMORY.md, and .specs/project/LEARNINGS.md.
Knowledge Check: Follow the Knowledge Verification Chain.

Gold Standard Example (v2.3.0)

"Purity in structure leads to precision in execution."

🧩 Delegation Matrix

Phase	Sub-Skill	Primary Artifact	Purpose
DESIGN	`example-sub-skill`	`blueprint.md`	Logic design.

🛠️ Operational Protocols

1. Knowledge Verification Chain

Existing Code: Scan for established patterns in the repository.
Internal Specs: Consult .specs/features/ and STATE.md.
Global Mandates: Read .specs/codebase/GLOBAL_MANDATES.md.
Project Memory: Check .specs/project/MEMORY.md.
Flag Uncertainty: Never assume.

2. Safety Valve

If task complexity exceeds 5 interdependent modules, escalate to sdd-orchestrator.

3. Observable Governance (Mandatory v2.3.0)

Every artifact generated MUST include a structured metadata block.

Zero Local Memory: DO NOT create STATE.md, MEMORY.md, LEARNINGS.md, or tasks.md in this directory. Use .specs/ instead.

Metadata Protocol

Every artifact MUST include this block.

## 🚫 Prohibited
- NEVER create local memory files (`tasks.md`, `STATE.md`, etc.).
- NEVER skip the Knowledge Verification Chain.
