coordination-verb-broker-migration
by curiositech
Audit whether an enforced-coordination MCP has actually shrunk its ~19 legacy etiquette verbs into the 5 enforced tools — work/act/ask/recall/status — each carrying one denial shape and one transcript event, migrated through a real retirement path (intake-metadata, alias, or doc-history — never a parallel runtime), with zero legacy-verb calls once a body reaches compliance mode C4+. Use when reviewing a broker-collapse migration plan, gating a body's move from advisory (C0-C3) to enforced (C4+) coordination, or verifying IT-018 Broker Collapse compliance. NOT for the inbound trigger→spawn boundary that decides whether an event may spawn an agent at all (use fleet-event-spawn-trust), the capability-token cryptographic mechanism behind a denial (use agentic-zero-trust-security), designing how a swarm of agents invokes and shards work (use swarm-invocation-designer), or auditing an individual PR's mergeability (use agent-pr-authoring).
architecture-binder-of-record
by curiositech
Own whether a multi-document product-architecture binder is internally consistent, complete against its stated customer/contingency/architecture coverage, and honest about which older product ambitions it has absorbed, superseded, deferred, contradicted, orphaned, or rejected. Use when running a binder Architect of Record pass, before an implementation chain cites a binder chapter as ready, when a proof-gate owner is missing, or when reconciling the binder against the older ambition corpus (website, plans, examples, ADRs). NOT for auditing a single Claude Skill bundle's structure or frontmatter (use skill-hygiene), rendering a single-PM accept/reject verdict on one finished deliverable (use port-daddy-user-surrogate-pm-review), or sequencing/stewarding a roadmap's sidequests once a gap or operator decision has been surfaced (use legible-roadmap-with-sidequests).
agent-control-command-contract
by curiositech
Audit whether operator control verbs over live agent bodies — steer, interrupt, pause, kill, checkpoint, fork — are each modeled as a distinct claim with a real delivered/acknowledged/failed/expired/unsupported lifecycle, and whether command authorization reads authoritative lease/event state instead of a stale projection or UI state. Use when designing or reviewing a control panel's command contract, a daemon's control_commands schema, or a backend adapter's verb-support matrix before any control renders as clickable. NOT for designing DAG approval/gate routing UX (use human-gate-designer), worktree/file-lock coordination between concurrently running agents (use multi-agent-coordination), or swarm IPC/message-passing mechanics between agents (use swarm-invocation-designer).
articles-of-agreement-auditor
by curiositech
Audits an Articles of Agreement contract — the daemon-witnessed agreement every official Port Daddy agent signs covering registration, transcript reporting, tool-use gating, file claims, parley conduct, budget limits, and operator control — against the enforcement-beats-hope bar: a clause counts as safe only when it resolves to a concrete, daemon-observable mechanism with a defined denial shape, never a promise the agent might honor. Use when drafting a new agent's Articles, reviewing a compliance-level (C0-C6) claim, deciding whether a clause is genuinely enforced or merely documented, or auditing whether an agent's claimed identity can be trusted. NOT for securing the inbound event-to-spawn path (fleet-event-spawn-trust), designing the relay's transport PKI and signing keys (pd-relay-zero-trust), or tracking an agent's identity and reputation across its whole lifetime after it signs (agent-identity-continuity-reputation).
agent-issue-tracker-workflow
by curiositech
Discipline an AI agent needs to work an issue/task tracker (Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues) as the shared source of truth: pull the right next item instead of inventing work, search before creating to avoid duplicates, write actionable items with checkable acceptance criteria, keep status transitions honest, and link work to items via branches/PRs/commits so progress is legible. Use when an agent picks up tracker work, files a new issue, updates status, or closes an item. NOT for authoring the PR itself (use agent-pr-authoring), roadmap-level planning and prioritization (use legible-roadmap-with-sidequests), or the mechanics of multiple agents coordinating on the same codebase (use multi-agent-coordination).
agent-pr-authoring
by curiositech
Author a pull request an AI coding agent can actually get merged: a scoped, coherent diff; a Summary and Test Plan backed by real evidence; correct triage of required-and-blocking CI gates versus external/advisory checks (e.g. a Cloudflare Pages preview build); draft-while-WIP discipline; named fixup commits for real review findings; and a clean landing through a merge queue without force-pushing or bypassing branch protection. Use when opening, updating, triaging red CI on, or landing an agent-authored GitHub PR. NOT for this repo's internal release ceremony, actor embodiments, or contributor mirror-sync mechanics (use port-daddy-internal-dev), tracking backlog/issue lifecycle across a board (use agent-issue-tracker-workflow), or deciding what to build next / sequencing a roadmap (use legible-roadmap-with-sidequests).

agentic-app-architecture
by curiositech
Decide the overall shape of an agentic LLM application across five axes: interaction transparency, state/history/memory, context & caching economics, capability integration (tools/skills/MCP/secrets), and execution substrate & side effects. Use when architecting a new coding-agent console or a non-coding agent (research, document, image, or data-artifact producer) before implementation begins, or when auditing whether an existing agentic app hides its reasoning, treats the transcript as its only state, has no context/caching strategy, bolts on tools/secrets with no custody model, or ships side effects with no isolation, no human gate, or no receipt. NOT for implementation stacks once the shape is decided (rust-tauri-development), pure model/router selection (llm-router), prompt wording (prompt-engineer), or multi-agent coordination mechanics once the app-level shape exists (multi-agent-coordination, swarm-invocation-designer).
agent-labor-pricing-function
by curiositech
Design a pricing/packaging function for variable-cost agent labor: pick a pricing model (per-seat, usage/metered, credits/premium-requests, hybrid, outcome-based), align a value metric to delivered value that the buyer can predict, build a cost floor from real unit economics, and add guardrails (spend caps, budget preview, transparent metering) that prevent bill shock. Use when unblocking Port Daddy's Phase 2 pricing function, packaging a new agent-labor feature or tier, reviewing a draft plan against Cursor/Copilot pricing-trust incidents, or deciding what a buyer should be billed per task. NOT for implementing the billing/invoicing/payment system (use webapp-paywall-implementation), for real-time cost accrual telemetry during execution (use cost-accrual-tracker), or for runtime budget enforcement mid-DAG (use cost-optimizer).

Design RL simulation sandboxes, trajectory datasets, QLoRA/LoRA adaptation plans, eval harnesses, and rollback unhooks for agents learning specific coding behaviors beyond the base model. Use when building or reviewing tool-use training loops, offline trajectories, reward functions, self-improvement harnesses, or Port Daddy agent behavior curricula. NOT for generic ML tutorials, full model training operations, or production deployment without eval gates and safety unhooks.
advanced-rust-patterns
by curiositech
Expert-level idiomatic Rust API design — the patterns that make illegal states unrepresentable and abstractions zero-cost. Type-state programming (PhantomData state machines), newtype + sealed + extension traits, typestate builders, RAII guards & Drop ordering, the interior-mutability decision tree (Cell/RefCell/Mutex/RwLock/Atomic/OnceLock), enum-driven state machines, error architecture (thiserror vs anyhow), dyn vs generic dispatch & object safety, the impl Trait / GAT / RPITIT toolbox, and Deref-for-smart-pointers (and its abuse). Use when designing a Rust library's public API, encoding invariants in the type system, choosing a dispatch or error strategy, or reviewing Rust for idiom. NOT for borrow-checker firefighting / toolchain / test-runner workflow (use rust-with-claude-code), NOT for pd-console GPUI rendering/layout/panes (use gpui-rust-console), NOT for app packaging/notarization (use rust-app-distribution).
