Genuine ties: stop and report every tied candidate for captain choice. - Do not select by array order, harness name, or another arbitrary identity ordering. - Report duplicate concrete profiles as a configuration error. - -Account for every candidate visibly before selecting or escalating, naming its catalog evidence, provider relation, applicable quota and authentication facts, remaining uncertainty, fit and reasoning class, effective headroom, usable runway, likely-completion reasoning, and later pace or reserve evidence when used. +Account for every candidate visibly before selecting or escalating, naming its catalog evidence, provider relation, applicable quota and authentication facts, remaining uncertainty, fit and reasoning class, `spendPriority`, and runway-versus-horizon result. A blocked credential report must name `harness`, `model`, authentication surface, and concrete failure evidence; never emit a bare `Grok unauthenticated` statement. Never conclude with an unexplained "best quota" label. diff --git a/.agents/skills/running-gauntlet-loops/SKILL.md b/.agents/skills/running-gauntlet-loops/SKILL.md deleted file mode 100644 index 068099b103..0000000000 --- a/.agents/skills/running-gauntlet-loops/SKILL.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,80 +0,0 @@ ---- -name: running-gauntlet-loops -description: >- - Use when a crewmate must run a Gauntlet Loop or bounded quality loop inside its assigned task. -user-invocable: false -metadata: - internal: true ---- - -# Running Gauntlet Loops - -Matt Shumer named the Gauntlet Loop: split an ambitious artifact into independently judgeable parts, have separate builders and fresh critics compare the real work with a concrete bar, then repeat. -Loop engineering is broader; this skill is an in-task pattern. - -## Set the loop card - -- **Objective:** the exact outcome that must become true. -- **Metric:** inspectable evidence of improvement and success. -- **Boundary:** allowed changes, approval gates, budgets, risks, and stop conditions. - -Do not use "until perfect" as a boundary. -The task brief remains authoritative. -This skill does not authorize untracked subagents; Firstmate primaries keep using fleet dispatch, and a crewmate delegates only when its brief and harness permit it. - -## Run the gauntlet - -Inspect the artifact and bar, then split only independently buildable and judgeable parts. -Use different fresh critics, show them the card and real artifact without the builder's explanation, and return the largest evidenced gap for a changed strategy. -Stop on success, diminishing returns, a boundary, or required human judgment; use a fresh integration critic when separate parts must work together. - -## Universal Gauntlet prompt - -```text -Run a Gauntlet Loop inside this assigned task. - -OBJECTIVE: Create so that . -METRIC: Judge it against ; success is . -BOUNDARY: ; stop on
