Co Supervision

Co-Supervision

Use this skill when the user wants to configure how much autonomy the agent should use for the current project.

Scope

This skill manages ## Supervision Policy in RESEARCH.md.

If the user wants to configure both supervision and preferred skillpacks together, prefer co-customize and keep this skill focused on supervision only.

Flow

Use a preset-first flow:

choose a preset: manual, checkpointed, autonomous, or wild
confirm notification events
confirm approval gates
confirm stop target / limits
confirm resource rules
confirm idea-change handling
write the policy into RESEARCH.md

Precedence

RESEARCH.md ## Supervision Policy is the live working-state layer and overrides everything. .co-researcher/skills.yaml supervision is the project-default layer written by co-customize — only consulted when RESEARCH.md has no policy yet.

Constraints

Do not create a separate hidden config store for supervision.
Keep the policy human-readable.
If RESEARCH.md is missing, initialize it before editing.
wild is never implicit; require explicit user confirmation.
