Codifies the craft for resolving + composing the 5 axes (audience × channel × scenario × brand × governance) multiplicatively. Triggers on Quality Fabric, compose_UAT, compose_render, 5-axis composition, audience resolution, channel resolution, scenario resolution, brand register, governance binding, multiplicative-AND composition.

The craft turns the multiplicative-AND rule from doctrinal claim into authoring practice. Ratified by D-IH-86-CT alongside the parent rule. ## When to use this skill Read this skill before authoring or revising any **quality-bound artifact** — anything carrying an `audience:` frontmatter tag, any closure UAT, any sibling-repo deploy-triggering work, any brand-touching surface (deck slide body, dossier prose, web page, email body), or any Quality Fabric specialty canonical. This skill assumes you have already read [`akos-quality-fabric.mdc`](../../../.cursor/rules/akos-quality-fabric.mdc) (the *when*) + [`HOLISTIKA_QUALITY_FABRIC.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/canonicals/HOLISTIKA_QUALITY_FABRIC.md) (the parent meta-doctrine). ## Core principles ### Principle 1 — Resolve all 5 axes BEFORE drafting prose The most common failure mode is to draft the artifact first and reverse-engineer the bar after-the-fact. The bar then bends to fit the draft, not vice versa. Always: 1. **Audience** — FK-resolve `audience:` against `AUDIENCE_REGISTRY.csv`. Multi-audience → strictest constraint per downstream axis. 2. **Channel** — FK-resolve `channel:` against `CHANNEL_TOUCHPOINT_REGISTRY.csv` (optional today; advisory). Absence → audience-class default. 3. **Scenario** — FK-resolve `scenario:` against `PERSONA_SCENARIO_REGISTRY.csv` (optional today). Absence → parent-initiative scope description. 4. **Brand** — always non-null; the variable is the register (CORPINT-internal vs translated-external per `akos-brand-baseline-reality.mdc`). 5. **Governance** — always non-null; determined by asset class per `PRECEDENCE.md`. Cite the resolved axes in the artifact's frontmatter so the resolution is auditable. ### Principle 2 — Multiplicative-AND, not additive, not last-axis-wins When constraints from two axes appear in conflict, BOTH apply. Don't drop one. Don't average. Don't let the latest-considered axis win. The compose() function is a logical AND across all 5 axes; the artifact must satisfy every constraint from every axis. When constraints genuinely conflict (e.g., audience demands brevity but governance demands completeness), surface as inline-ratify gate per `akos-inline-ratification.mdc` — let operator pick the reconciliation rather than silently choosing. ### Principle 3 — Per-axis doctrine is the source of truth (don't infer from prior outputs) Don't infer brand voice from prior outputs you've authored; read [`BRAND_DO_DONT.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Marketing/Brand/canonicals/BRAND_DO_DONT.md). Don't infer channel norms from intuition; read the per-channel doctrine (when minted) or call out the gap explicitly in `notes:` frontmatter. Don't infer audience expectations from "what investors want"; read `AUDIENCE_REGISTRY.csv` row for the specific J-IN class. Each axis has a canonical SSOT; the skill is to consult the SSOT not to wing it. ### Principle 4 — Under-specified artifacts cannot reach PASS If any of the 5 axes is unresolvable (e.g., audience tag missing; can't determine the right strictness), the artifact is **under-specified** and cannot reach a PASS verdict in its UAT/UX bar. Either: - Resolve the axis (via inline-ratify per Principle 2 when contested). - Carry the under-specification flag explicitly in `notes:` frontmatter with a closure-target. Refusing to author under-specified artifacts is correct behaviour, not blocking behaviour. ### Principle 5 — Specialty canonicals inherit the fabric When authoring a new specialty canonical that materialises a compose() function (per parent rule RULE 7), the canonical: 1. Cross-references `HOLISTIKA_QUALITY_FABRIC.md` as parent meta-doctrine. 2. Names its compose() function explicitly (e.g., `compose_UAT(audience, channel, scenario, brand, governance) → 7-class UAT shape`). 3. Lands at `status: charter` if not yet exercised; promotes to `status: active` per QF §10 criteria. 4. Cites internal precedents per `akos-applied-research-discipline.mdc` RULE 1. 5. Cites at least one external research source if novel per RULE 2. ## Per-axis craft ### Audience axis - Resolve `audience:` against `AUDIENCE_REGISTRY.csv` (J-OP / J-AIC / J-IN / J-CU / J-PT / J-AD / J-ENISA / J-RC / J-CO). - Multi-audience tags use `;`-separated list; resolution picks the STRICTEST constraint per downstream axis. - Read the row's `register_class` + `delivery_format` + `voice_register` columns to derive per-axis constraints. ### Channel axis - Optional today (advisory per `akos-external-render-discipline.mdc` RULE 7). - When present, resolve `channel:` against `CHANNEL_TOUCHPOINT_REGISTRY.csv` (CHAN-EMAIL-OUTBOUND / CHAN-LINKEDIN-DM / CHAN-WEB-FORM / etc.). - When absent, fall back to audience-class default channel (look up in `AUDIENCE_REGISTRY.csv` `default_channel` column). ### Scenario axis - Optional today. - When present, resolve `scenario:` against `PERSONA_SCENARIO_REGISTRY.csv`. - When absent, scenario falls back to the artifact's parent-initiative scope description. ### Brand axis - Always non-null. - Variable: CORPINT-internal register (audience J-OP / J-AIC only) vs translated-external register (any other audience). - Read `BRAND_BASELINE_REALITY_MATRIX.md` §3 translation table; never render internal tokens to external audience. ### Governance axis - Always non-null. - Determined by asset class per `PRECEDENCE.md`. - For canonical CSVs: canonical-CSV gate per `akos-baseline-governance.mdc`. - For deploy-triggering work: per-vendor gate per `akos-deploy-health.mdc`. - For external-delivery surfaces: render-trail per `akos-external-render-discipline.mdc`. ## Pre-flight checklist 1. All 5 axes resolved BEFORE drafting any prose. 2. Frontmatter declares the resolved axes (`audience:`, `channel:` if known, `scenario:` if known, `linked_decisions:` for governance, brand register implicit in content). 3. Per-axis doctrine consulted (NOT inferred from prior outputs). 4. Multiplicative-AND composition applied; conflicts surfaced as inline-ratify (not silently chosen). 5. Under-specified axes either resolved OR explicitly flagged in `notes:` with closure-target. 6. If new specialty: cross-references QF parent + names compose() function + cites precedents. 7. UAT report's findings table addresses each axis (PASS/SKIP/N/A per axis). ## Anti-patterns - **AP1 — Reverse-engineer the bar from the draft.** The draft bends governance to fit; bad doctrine. - **AP2 — Drop the conflicting axis.** Multiplicative-AND violated; one stakeholder loses. - **AP3 — Last-axis-wins.** Whoever the agent thought of last wins; arbitrary. - **AP4 — Silent reconciliation.** Agent picks reconciliation without surfacing; operator can't audit. - **AP5 — Infer brand voice from prior outputs.** Doctrinal drift compounds across artifacts; the SSOT loses authority. ## Cross-references - Parent rule: [`akos-quality-fabric.mdc`](../../../.cursor/rules/akos-quality-fabric.mdc). - Parent canonical: [`HOLISTIKA_QUALITY_FABRIC.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/canonicals/HOLISTIKA_QUALITY_FABRIC.md). - Specialty SSOTs: [`UAT_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/canonicals/UAT_DISCIPLINE.md), [`UX_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Marketing/Brand/UX%20Designer/canonicals/UX_DISCIPLINE.md), [`INTER_WAVE_REGRESSION_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/canonicals/INTER_WAVE_REGRESSION_DISCIPLINE.md), [`INDEX_INTEGRITY_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/canonicals/INDEX_INTEGRITY_DISCIPLINE.md), [`DATAOPS_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Data/Governance/canonicals/DATAOPS_DISCIPLINE.md), [`MKTOPS_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Marketing/canonicals/MKTOPS_DISCIPLINE.md), [`TECHOPS_DISCIPLINE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Tech/System%20Owner/canonicals/TECHOPS_DISCIPLINE.md). - Axis SSOTs: [`AUDIENCE_REGISTRY.csv`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/Compliance/canonicals/dimensions/AUDIENCE_REGISTRY.csv), [`CHANNEL_TOUCHPOINT_REGISTRY.csv`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/Compliance/canonicals/dimensions/CHANNEL_TOUCHPOINT_REGISTRY.csv), [`PERSONA_SCENARIO_REGISTRY.csv`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Marketing/Resonance/canonicals/dimensions/PERSONA_SCENARIO_REGISTRY.csv), [`BRAND_BASELINE_REALITY_MATRIX.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/Marketing/Brand/canonicals/BRAND_BASELINE_REALITY_MATRIX.md), [`PRECEDENCE.md`](../../../docs/references/hlk/v3.0/Admin/O5-1/People/Compliance/canonicals/PRECEDENCE.md). - Sister skills: [`inline-ratify-craft`](../inline-ratify-craft/SKILL.md), [`applied-research-craft`](../applied-research-craft/SKILL.md), [`external-render-craft`](../external-render-craft/SKILL.md). - Ratifying decisions: D-IH-86-CT (this skill mint), D-IH-86-AU (parent rule ratification). --- > Source: [FraysaXII/openclaw-akos](https://github.com/FraysaXII/openclaw-akos) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
