System Manual — Task Router
system-manual routes System's lifecycle, identity, presets, settings, and peer
controls. Schema owns action names, fields, and types;
read one route below for unfamiliar or consequential work.
Task routes

| External attach diagnostics |

| ToolFamily/plugin settings |
ToolFamily settings |
| Context, notification, MCP, shell, daemon, avatar, soul, skills, or knowledge |
Read that owning tool's manual; System does not own its procedure. |
Everyday use
Use action with only that action's input fields and a short reasoning;
summarize is optional. Fetch the installed manual with
system(action="manual", input={}) and keep it unsummarized. settings is
read-only and its comment points to the owner; presets is allowed-only, so
pass an exact returned path. Availability is not authority. Normal waiting is
IDLE; positive sleep.delay is only a last-resort alarm without a reliable
completion notification, and pending notifications require intentional force.
name_set is immutable, name_nickname mutable, and neither moves the
address/workdir. Route mechanical Agent/Project address or workdir movement
through migration-guide.
notification owns reads/dismissals; context owns summarize/rebuild/molt and
provider replay.
Consequential use
- Refresh/preset:
reference/refresh-precheck/SKILL.md is the single
owner of same-runtime reload, preset swap/revert, source/venv cutover, and
failure recovery: one targeted preflight, exactly one refresh, and one
targeted receipt. Route update/source/install/nudge/mismatch diagnosis through
reference/runtime-update-checks/SKILL.md first. Refresh never installs,
upgrades, fetches, or repairs code.
- Peer recovery: use the exact target working-directory address within authority and
diagnose/communicate first.
lull, interrupt, suspend, cpr, and clear
require admin.karma=True; nirvana also requires admin.nirvana=True and
permanently destroys the target. Read reference/substrate-manual/SKILL.md.
Cache-miss budget
system-manual#cache-miss-budget remains an alias for
reference/settings-inventory/SKILL.md#cache-miss-budget; query SHOW first.
Runtime policy (v2)
system-manual#runtime-policy-v2 remains an alias for
reference/settings-inventory/SKILL.md#runtime-policy-v2-document-shape.
