+# KeiSeiKit — Constructor-Pattern Agent Kit for Claude Code
+
+KeiSeiKit is a drop-in agent fleet for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code). It ships a curated set of composable behavioral blocks, a Rust assembler that builds agent `.md` files from TOML manifests deterministically, three pre-wired hooks, and six portable skills including an interactive `/new-agent` wizard. Everything follows a Constructor Pattern: one file per concern, manifests as single source of truth, and the generated agent files are regenerated on every relevant edit.
+
+The kit is MIT-licensed and fully generic — install it on a fresh machine and you get a sane 14-agent fleet (implementers, critics, researchers, cost-guardians, and more), a wizard for spinning up new project specialists, and a build pipeline that keeps every agent derivable from its manifest.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Rust** (stable toolchain) — the assembler is a small Cargo binary
+- **jq** — used by the three shell hooks for JSON parsing (`brew install jq` / `apt install jq`)
+- **Claude Code** — the agents, hooks, and skills target Claude Code's agent / skill / hook surface
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+git clone <your-fork-of-this-repo> KeiSeiKit
+cd KeiSeiKit
+./install.sh
+```
+
+`install.sh` is idempotent. It:
+
+1. Creates `~/.claude/agents/{_blocks,_manifests,_templates,_assembler,_generated}`, `~/.claude/hooks`, `~/.claude/skills`
+2. Copies all blocks (overwrites — blocks are SSoT from the kit)
+3. Copies generic manifests (skips if you already have a manifest with that name)
+4. Builds the Rust assembler (`cargo build --release`)
+5. Generates agent `.md` files in-place with `AGENT_ROOT=~/.claude/agents assemble --in-place`
+6. Copies the three hooks and six skills
+
+After install, the only remaining step is merging `settings-snippet.json` into your `~/.claude/settings.json` to activate the hooks.
+
+## What you get
+
+| Category | Count | Examples |
+|---|---:|---|
+| Behavioral blocks | 34 | `baseline`, `evidence-grading`, `rule-math-first`, `stack-rust-axum`, `deploy-modal`, `api-fal-ai`, ... |
+| Generic agents (manifests) | 14 | `code-implementer`, `critic`, `validator`, `security-auditor`, `architect`, `researcher`, `ml-implementer`, `cost-guardian`, `modal-runner`, ... |
+| Hooks | 3 | `assemble-agents` (PostToolUse), `assemble-validate` (PreToolUse Bash), `no-hand-edit-agents` (PreToolUse Edit/Write) |
+| Skills | 6 | `new-agent`, `research`, `test-gen`, `pr-review`, `refactor`, `debug-deep` |
+
+## Creating a new agent
+
+Run the wizard in Claude Code:
+
+```
+/new-agent
+```
+
+You'll be asked (via option-pickers, not free-text):
+
+1. Project stack (Rust CLI / axum / SwiftUI / Flutter / FastAPI / Next.js / Go / Embedded / Python ML)
+2. Deploy target (local-only / EC2 / Cloudflare / Modal / Docker / none)
+3. Uses paid APIs? (Yes / No)
+4. Contains ML? (Yes / No)
+5. Contains unfiled patent IP? (Yes — banned public / No)
+6. Has credentials? (Yes / No)
+7. Uses scrapers? (None / Free-tier / Paid tier)
+
+Then one free-text prompt for slug + description + path + gotchas. The wizard composes the manifest, validates it, assembles the `.md`, and prints a two-step git-commit command you can run or edit first.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+  Manifest (_manifests/<name>.toml)          <-- source of truth
+         |
+         |   [assembler/src/*.rs]              <-- Rust binary
+         v
+  Generated agent (.claude/agents/<name>.md)  <-- regenerated, never hand-edited
+         ^
+         |                                     [hook: assemble-agents]
+  Block edit (_blocks/<block>.md)             <-- triggers rebuild of ALL agents
+```
+
+Three hooks enforce the pipeline:
+
+- **`assemble-agents`** (PostToolUse, Write/Edit) — rebuilds the affected agent(s) whenever a manifest or a block changes. No manual rebuild needed.
+- **`assemble-validate`** (PreToolUse, Bash) — blocks `git commit` inside `~/.claude` if any manifest fails validation. Keeps the repo in a buildable state at all times.
+- **`no-hand-edit-agents`** (PreToolUse, Edit/Write) — refuses edits to any `.md` under `~/.claude/agents/` that starts with the `<!-- GENERATED -->` marker, pointing you at the manifest instead. Override with `AGENT_MIGRATION=1` for emergencies only.
+
+## Adding custom blocks
+
+Blocks are plain markdown in `~/.claude/agents/_blocks/`. To add one:
+
+1. `touch ~/.claude/agents/_blocks/stack-mystack.md` and write the block.
+2. Reference it in a manifest's `blocks = [...]` list.
+3. The PostToolUse hook rebuilds the affected agent(s) automatically.
+
+Blocks should be 10-50 lines, single-concern, and readable in isolation. If a block exceeds ~60 lines, split it into two.
+
+## Adding custom manifests
+
+Copy `_templates/specialist.toml.template` and fill the placeholders, OR run `/new-agent` and answer the wizard. Either way, the assembler validates the manifest and generates the `.md` on write.
+
+## Agents overview
+
+| Agent | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `code-implementer` | Write production code, Constructor Pattern enforced, Test-First discipline |
+| `infra-implementer` | Deploy scripts, CI/CD, secrets management, cost-aware paid infra |
+| `ml-implementer` | Training scripts, inference code, Modal jobs, exact param counts |
+| `critic` | Read-only anti-pattern / bug / security / perf / debt finder |
+| `validator` | Fact-checker; verifies API existence, version compat, citations, doc claims |
+| `security-auditor` | Risk-classified security audit with variant analysis + supply chain check |
+| `architect` | Read-only structural analysis; dep graph, patterns, coupling |
+| `researcher` | Generic web + codebase research, evidence-graded findings |
+| `ml-researcher` | ML literature, benchmarks, reproducibility, tooling-reuse search |
+| `cost-guardian` | Pre-launch GO/NO-GO for paid compute (Modal, AWS, fal.ai, Apify, etc.) |
+| `modal-runner` | Modal compute orchestrator with KILL GUARD (never stops running jobs) |
+| `fal-ai-runner` | fal.ai image/video/3D generation expert |
+| `patent-researcher` | Prior-art, FTO, novelty — never leaks unfiled IP to public search |
+| `patent-compliance` | Pre-filing cross-reference gate and defensive-language helper |

+# API — Anthropic (Claude)
+
+Full text: Anthropic docs (WebFetch https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api before any new feature). Claude API skill trigger: code imports `anthropic` / `@anthropic-ai/sdk`.
+
+**Model IDs (from env, never hard-code):**
+- Opus tier — max effort, 1M input tokens on the `[1m]` variant
+- Sonnet tier — balanced cost / capability
+- Haiku tier — cheapest, latency-critical
+- Keep ID in env var (`ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) — swapping Opus→Sonnet should be 0 code changes.
+
+**Prompt caching (up to ~90% cost reduction + latency drop on cache hit):**
+- 4 cache breakpoints per request (`cache_control: {type: "ephemeral"}`)
+- Two TTLs: default 5-min (cheap writes) and 1-hour (premium writes, higher $/token)
+- Same prefix sent >N times → MUST `cache_control` — missing caching on a long system prompt is free money left on the table
+- Log cache_read_input_tokens vs cache_creation_input_tokens every call — if read is zero across N calls, cache is mis-wired
+
+**Tool use:**
+- Fine-grained tool streaming supported (parse tool_use deltas, don't wait for full turn)
+- `tool_choice: "auto" | "any" | {type: "tool", name}` — pick `any` when you need *some* tool but don't care which
+- Cap turn loop with `max_iterations` (default 10) — infinite loop on broken tool = infinite cost
+- Every tool_use MUST have matching tool_result — orphan tool_use errors mid-turn
+
+**Batch API:** 50% discount, 24h window. Use for offline eval / bulk-ingest / non-interactive tasks. Polling via batch ID.
+

+# API — Apify (web scraping platform)
+
+Live pricing: WebFetch https://apify.com/pricing before any run >$5. Treat the table below as a starting sketch and always re-verify on the live pricing page.
+
+**Platform plans (sample — re-verify on live pricing page):**
+
+| Plan | $/mo | Credits | CU cost | Max RAM | Retention |
+|------|-----:|--------:|--------:|--------:|----------:|
+| Free | $0 | $5 | $0.30 | 4-8 GB | 7d |
+| Starter | $49 | $49 | $0.30 | 32 GB | 14d |
+| Scale | $199 | $199 | $0.25 | 128 GB | 21d |
+| Business | $999 | $999 | $0.20 | 256+ GB | 31d |
+
+**CU (Compute Unit) formula:** `CU = Memory(GB) × Duration(hours)`. Browser scraper ≈ 300 pages/CU; HTTP scraper ≈ 3000 pages/CU. Most actors 0.1-5 CU/run.
+
+**Per-actor rates (sample — re-check pricing page before any batch):**
+| Platform | Best actor | $/1K | Risk | Free alternative |
+|----------|-----------|-----:|------|-----------------|
+| YouTube | `apidojo/youtube-scraper` | $0.50 | LOW | **YouTube Data API v3 (FREE, 10K units/day)** |
+| LinkedIn | `harvestapi/linkedin-profile-scraper` | $4 (no email) / $10 (email) | **HIGH** | linkedin_scraper (Python) |
+| Instagram | `apify/instagram-scraper` (official) | $2.30-2.60 | VERY HIGH | Instaloader |
+| Instagram | `apidojo/instagram-scraper` (3rd party) | $0.50 | VERY HIGH | — |
+| Facebook | `apify/facebook-posts-scraper` | $5-8 | VERY HIGH | facebook-scraper |
+| Telegram | via Apify | $1-3 | LOW | **Telethon/Pyrogram (FREE, MTProto)** |
+
+Prefer free path when available — Telethon (Telegram) and YouTube Data API v3 are 100% FREE and fully featured.
+
+**Proxies:**
+- Datacenter — included in plan; $0.6-1.0/IP overage. Blocked by IG/FB on first hit.
+- Residential — **$7-8/GB**. Required for Instagram/Facebook. **GDPR risk** for EU targets (BGH Germany Nov 2024: €100/user scraping compensation).
+- SERP — $2.50/1K.
+
+**Webhooks:** POST on `ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED` / `.FAILED` → your endpoint receives `runId`, `datasetId`. Use for pipelines; poll only for manual one-offs.
+
+**Input schema validation:** every actor has a JSON schema (`input_schema.json`). Validate inputs client-side before POST — failed inputs still eat CU in the startup phase.
+
+**Legal landscape:** hiQ v. LinkedIn (2022) CFAA ≠ public data; Meta v. Bright Data (2024) Meta lost; **BGH Germany Nov 2024: GDPR Art. 82 → €100 per scraped user**. All 6 major platforms' ToS prohibit scraping (contractual, not criminal).
+
+**LinkedIn HIGH RISK:** `harvestapi` no-cookie actors are safer ($4-10/1K). Cookie-based (`curious_coder`) = ban + ToS exposure. Max 500 profiles/day deep. **Always legal review before EU LinkedIn runs.**
+
+**Forbidden:** LinkedIn batch without legal sign-off (GDPR + ToS); residential proxies against EU targets without documented consent basis; batch runs without per-item cost estimate to `cost-guardian`; using main personal account for any cookie-based actor (curious_coder line); launching an actor before validating input against its `input_schema.json`; paying Apify for Telegram when Telethon is free.

+# API — ElevenLabs (voice)
+
+Live pricing: WebFetch https://elevenlabs.io/pricing before any bulk run [VERIFY: character pricing tier varies by plan].
+
+**MANDATORY 3-step Voice Design flow (order is fixed):**
+1. **`designVoice`** — describe voice characteristics (gender, age, accent, style) → returns preview audio + `generated_voice_id` (ephemeral).
+2. **`createVoice`** — accept the preview → permanent `voice_id` added to library.
+3. **TTS** — synthesize text using the permanent `voice_id`.
+
+Skipping or reordering any step = API error. Ephemeral preview IDs expire — cannot TTS directly from `designVoice` output.
+
+**Models:**
+| Model | Use case | Latency | Quality |
+|------|---------|---------|---------|
+| `eleven_flash_v2_5` | Real-time, low latency (~75ms) | Fastest | Good |
+| `eleven_multilingual_v2` | Production, 29 languages | Slower | Best |
+| `eleven_turbo_v2_5` | Balanced | Fast | High |
+
+**Pricing [VERIFY: check live pricing page]** — billed per character, plan-gated character quota:
+- Free: ~10K chars/mo
+- Starter: ~30K chars/mo
+- Creator / Pro / Scale — higher quotas, character overage rates vary per plan.
+- Voice Design calls also consume characters (preview audio counts).
+
+**TTS params (sane defaults):**
+- `stability: 0.5` — higher = more monotone, lower = more expressive (range 0-1)
+- `similarity_boost: 0.75` — higher = closer to reference voice
+- `style: 0-1` — emotional exaggeration; set 0 for Flash v2 (not supported)
+- `use_speaker_boost: true` for Multilingual v2
+
+**Voice ID caching:** once `createVoice` returns a `voice_id`, store it in `memory/{project}.md` or DB. Reuse across TTS calls — re-designing the same voice = wasted characters + non-deterministic result.
+
+**Video integration (if pairing with a video model that supports voice):** `voice_id` flows into the video model's `voice_ids` payload. Per-speaker markers in prompts ONLY when `voice_ids` actually sent.
+
+**Cost tracking:** log per-call `characters_used` + cumulative month-to-date → `memory/{project}.md`. Hand off to `cost-guardian` on any batch expected to exceed 50% of monthly quota.
+
+**Forbidden:** calling TTS without prior `createVoice` (ephemeral preview IDs fail); exceeding plan character quota without `cost-guardian` check (overage billing surprise); committing `voice_id` values into git when they reference private/cloned voices (storage convention — see `domain-has-secrets.md`); re-designing the same voice per-scene instead of caching `voice_id`; skipping the 3-step flow with direct TTS on `generated_voice_id`.

+| 3D GLB | Trellis | `fal-ai/trellis` | $0.02 |
+
+**Hard-learned per-model gotchas:**
+- **FLUX.2 Pro ZERO-CONFIG** — NO `guidance_scale` (API rejects), `safety_tolerance: "5"`, `enable_prompt_expansion: false`, `image_urls[]` always array (even for 1 ref).
+- **Kling O3** — prompt hard limit **2500 chars**; `image_url` NOT `start_image_url` (V3 legacy); `elements` + `voice_ids` can be sent **together on O3 only**; `generate_audio: true` ALWAYS (else silent video).
+- **Luma Ray 2** — `loop: true` for hero sections (seamless loop, same first/last frame).
+- **Async flow:** POST → `request_id` → poll status → fetch `response_url`. Don't expect sync result.
+
+**NSFW filter:** default ON for Flux/Recraft. `safety_tolerance` raises threshold (higher = more permissive); `"5"` is the documented max. Failed content returns a flagged error, still billed.
+
+**Webhook vs poll:** webhooks need a public HTTPS URL (tunnel with ngrok/CF for local). Poll is fine for <30-min batches.
+
+**Cost discipline:** 1-2 smoke samples before fanning out to ≥5 generations. Full-site budget template: 20 icons + 5 hero + 10 bg + 35 bg-removal + 35 upscale × 2 iterations ≈ $4-8. Hand off to `cost-guardian` on any batch >$5.
+

+# BASELINE — inherit from Main Claude (never violate)
+
+You inherit from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Re-read it on ambiguity. Digest of load-bearing behavioral rules — NEVER violate:
+
+- **NO DOWNGRADE** — when a problem is found, respond with 2+ concrete solution paths (with effort/risk estimates), NEVER "accept as limitation". Defeatism = epistemic cowardice.
+- **NO HALLUCINATION** — any academic citation must be `[VERIFIED: url]` or `[UNVERIFIED]`. No fabricated authors/years/DOIs/numbers. Confidence mandatory: `[100% proven]` / `[80% likely]` / `[30% speculative]` / `[0% don't know]`.
+- **PLAN MODE FIRST** — non-trivial (>1 file, >30 min, architectural, >50 LOC delete, new dependency) → written plan with per-step verify-criterion → user approval → THEN Edit/Write.
+- **Constructor Pattern** — 1 file = 1 class = 1 responsibility. File >200 LOC → split. Function >30 LOC → split. No mixins, factories, DI containers.
+- **Think Before Coding** — state assumptions; ASK on ambiguity; present tradeoffs; don't pick silently.
+- **Surgical Changes** — every changed line must trace to the user's request. Don't "improve" adjacent code. Remove orphans YOUR changes created.
+- **Goal-Driven** — convert every task to a verify-criterion before starting. "Fix bug" → "write a test that reproduces it, then pass".
+
+Core discipline rules:
+
+1. **No Patching / No Overlays** — fixes go INTO ROOT FORMULAS. File doubled from "fixes" = overlay.
+2. **Root Cause** — always find the root, not the symptom.
+3. **Don't Rewrite Working Code** — no rewrite without a reason.
+4. **Full Observability** — log parameters; no data → no decisions.
+5. **Single Source of Truth** — types, routes, enums in ONE place.
+6. **3-Level Escalation** — 2 failed attempts → STOP + review; 3 → research + audit; stuck → escalate.

+# DEPLOY — AWS EC2 (Instance Connect + Elastic IP)
+
+**SSH pattern — EC2 Instance Connect (60 s key window, no permanent authorized_keys):**
+```
+aws ec2-instance-connect send-ssh-public-key \
+  --instance-id i-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
+  --instance-os-user ec2-user \
+  --ssh-public-key file://~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
+ssh ec2-user@<elastic-ip>     # within 60 s
+```
+Typical pattern: dedicated instance per project with an Elastic IP in a chosen region. Multi-project shared hosts are fine, but track co-tenancy (below).
+
+**Network posture:**
+- **Elastic IP** for any node that needs stable identity (client configs, DNS, firewall rules).
+- **Security Group**: allow SSH (port 22) ONLY from Tailscale CGNAT (`100.64.0.0/10`) or a specific admin IP. NEVER `0.0.0.0/0:22` in prod.
+- Application ports exposed through an ALB or nginx reverse proxy — not directly on the instance.
+- IMDSv2 REQUIRED (`HttpTokens=required`). v1 is SSRF-exploitable.
+
+**IAM:**
+- Use IAM roles attached to the instance (`aws configure` on-instance hits the metadata endpoint).
+- NEVER bake static AWS keys into AMI / env / user-data.
+- Use a preconfigured named AWS profile (`--profile <name>`), not interactive console for read ops.
+
+**Shared-host coordination:** if one instance runs multiple apps (e.g. API + marketing dashboards + internal tools), host-level change (apt / systemd / nginx) → cross-project impact check BEFORE reboot.
+
+**Forbidden:** open port 22 to `0.0.0.0/0`, static AWS keys in repo / `.env` committed to git, IMDSv1, rebooting shared hosts without cross-project sanity check, asking user to log into console for read ops (profile is set up — use it).

+
+**Tooling:** `wrangler` CLI (≥ 3.x). `wrangler.toml` is source of truth for bindings, NOT dashboard clicks.
+
+**Surface map:**
+- **Workers** — edge compute. `wrangler deploy`. Logs via `wrangler tail`.
+- **Pages** — static sites + Pages Functions. Per-branch preview URLs automatic.
+- **R2** — S3-compatible object storage. No egress fees.
+- **KV** — eventually-consistent key-value config store. Reads cached at the edge.

+
+**Self-sufficiency — CF API token scopes (request ALL up front):**
+Workers KV · Workers R2 · Workers Scripts · Pages · Zone Edit · DNS · Zone Read · Zone Settings · SSL. Missing scope → ask user to add to token, NEVER ask user to click in the dashboard.
+
+**HARD RULE — CF ToS forbids proxy-mode traffic forwarding:**
+- Worker for signaling, fronting helpers, metadata lookups — OK
+- Worker as a full proxy pipe (upstream ⇆ Worker ⇆ downstream as a tunnel) — FORBIDDEN. Signaling / rendezvous Workers must do metadata only, NEVER arbitrary traffic. Violation → account ban.
+
+**Cache strategy:** `Cache-Control` headers authoritative; purge via `wrangler pages deployment` or API. `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` / `PUBLIC_*` vars ship to client — treat as non-secret.
+
+**Forbidden:** secrets in `wrangler.toml`, full-proxy Workers (ToS), manual dashboard edits when API token has the scope, committing `.dev.vars`.

+
+**MANDATORY pre-launch handoff to `cost-guardian` before ANY paid run:**
+1. Dashboard balance — state the current number, not "I think it's roughly".
+2. Pricing page — fetch LIVE (WebFetch), not from memory. Rates change.
+3. Running jobs — `modal app list` / provider dashboard → show user what's already billing.
+4. Cost estimate — formula AND dollars. Example: `N_gpus × hours × $1.10/hr (A10G, verified <today>)`.
+5. Single-variant verify — one run succeeds before fanning out to N variants (failed config × N = N billings).
+6. Tell user the exact dollar cost BEFORE launch. Explicit GO required for anything > $5.
+7. Monitor first 2 minutes of stdout — health check before fan-out.
+
+**Cost tiers:**
+- < $5 — AUTO (cost line in report, no confirmation needed)
+- $5-$20 — WARN + daily-cap check ($20/day session cap)
+- > $20 — STOP, explicit user "yes, launch" with the dollar number echoed back
+
+**Batch ops (Apify, OpenAI batch, ElevenLabs bulk TTS):**
+- Estimate whole-batch cost BEFORE first call
+- Run 1-2 items to verify shape + per-item cost matches estimate
+- THEN fan out; log per-call cost to `memory/{project}.md`

+# DOMAIN — Unfiled patent IP
+
+**Why this matters:** public push / public disclosure / cross-reference to an unfiled application WITHOUT a priority date creates prior art AGAINST yourself. After 12 months = unpatentable. Irrecoverable.
+
+**Hard rule — no public Git push** for any project covered by this block. Block pushes to public Git hosting (GitHub, public GitLab) via a PreToolUse hook. Private remotes (self-hosted Forgejo / Gitea / any SSH-only Git server) — allowed.
+
+**Pre-filing cross-reference check (run before any patent filing):**
+```
+grep -nE "provisional|co-pending|concurrently filed|cross.reference|priority\s+to" filing.md
+```
+For each hit:
+- Already filed with an application number? → OK.
+- Being filed same day ("concurrently filed")? → OK only if literally same-day batch.
+- Will be filed later? → REMOVE or rewrite. "Concurrently filed" on a not-yet-filed patent = misrepresentation.
+
+**Defensive language template (when removing a cross-ref):**
+> "The present invention operates independently of any specific [...] and does not require [...]."
+
+**Self-disclosure trap — describing technical details publicly WITHOUT a priority date:**
+- Architecture diagrams with param counts, node topology
+- Benchmarks naming the project + numbers
+- Patent-claim-adjacent text in public READMEs
+- Screenshots of unfiled algorithms on social media
+
+After 12 months of self-disclosure → prior art against self, filing invalid.
+
+**Forbidden:** `git push` to public hosting for anything patent-adjacent; cross-ref an unfiled application; "concurrently filed" phrase unless truly same-day; publishing param counts / architecture details before filing; sharing screenshots of claim drafts.

+# DOMAIN — Scraper unified output invariant

+```
+UnifiedProfile {
+  platform: 'youtube' | 'linkedin' | 'instagram' | 'facebook' | 'xing' | 'telegram' | 'github' | 'twitter',
+  external_id: string,              // platform-native stable ID (PRIMARY dedup key)

+**BaseScraper pattern (all new scrapers inherit):**
+- 1 scraper = 1 file = 1 platform (Constructor Pattern).
+- `fetch()` → raw provider response; `normalize()` → `UnifiedProfile | UnifiedContent`.
+- Normalizers live in `src/normalizers/<platform>.(ts|py|rs)` — one cube per platform.
+- Never let provider-specific fields leak into DB queries, business logic, or UI. Business code reads ONLY `UnifiedProfile` keys.
+
+**Deduplication:**
+- Primary key: `(platform, external_id)` — platform-native stable ID.
+- Secondary merge: normalized name + location + company — only when `external_id` missing.
+- **Never dedup by email only** — email collisions (shared inboxes, typos, generic `info@`) merge distinct people into one profile.
+
+**Consent flag (GDPR):**
+- Every profile record a lawful-basis value (`legitimate_interest` / `consent` / `public_data`).
+- Source (which scraper + when) logged per record.
+- Right-to-erasure endpoint deletes by `(platform, external_id)` across all tables.
+
+**Forbidden:** writing a scraper that skips `normalize()`; passing raw provider dicts into business logic / DB queries / UI components (breaks Single Source of Truth); deduplication by email alone; persisting a profile without `consent` field populated; putting platform-specific schema into `src/models/` top-level types (belongs in `raw_data` or provider-scoped module); mixing two platforms in one scraper file (Constructor Pattern — split per platform).

+Dependency injection via `Depends()` — never thread a session through global state.
+
+**Commit rule:** inside an `@asynccontextmanager` block, do NOT call `session.commit()` in the request path — let the context manager close the txn. Mixing the two causes the "RuntimeError: Session is already flushing" storm.

+# STACK — Rust CLI / tooling
+
+Cargo workspace. Default language — no language justification needed.
+
+**Layout:**
+- Workspace root `Cargo.toml` declares `members = [...]`; one crate per cube.
+- Binaries under `<crate>/src/bin/*.rs`; library root `<crate>/src/lib.rs`.
+- Integration tests in `<crate>/tests/*.rs`; unit tests inline with `#[cfg(test)]`.
+
+**Hard invariants:**
+- File > 200 LOC → split (Constructor Pattern). Function > 30 LOC → split.
+- `clippy::pedantic` in CI; warnings = errors on `main`.
+- `thiserror` for library error enums, `anyhow::Result` for binaries only. Never `Box<dyn Error>` in new code.
+- NO `.unwrap()` / `.expect()` in prod paths. Allowed in tests and one-shot scripts flagged `// SCRIPT`.
+- Benchmarks live under `benches/` with `cargo bench` (Criterion) and the documented number is ALWAYS from `cargo test --release` / `cargo bench` — never debug timings.
+
+**CI gate:**
+```
+cargo fmt --check && cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings && cargo test --release
+```
+
+**Pre-commit:** `cargo fmt && cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty && cargo test`.
+
+**Forbidden:** `Rc<RefCell<...>>` in hot paths (use `&mut` or `Arc<Mutex<_>>`); `unsafe` without a `// SAFETY:` comment explaining the invariant; panic-on-parse in library crates.

+# STACK — Swift iOS (UIKit / SwiftUI hybrid)
+
+Use for platform-native iOS UI — this is the only sane choice for iOS.
+
+**UIKit vs SwiftUI:**
+- SwiftUI for new screens by default (iOS 16+ targets). Wrap UIKit views via `UIViewRepresentable` only when SwiftUI has no equivalent (AVKit camera, ARKit, MapKit gestures).
+- UIKit required for: deep `UITextInput` custom protocols, scroll-view precise tracking, `UIPageViewController` paging animations < 60 fps on SwiftUI.
+
+**App lifecycle:**
+- `@main` struct App or `AppDelegate`/`SceneDelegate` pair. NOT both — pick one.
+- `LaunchScreen.storyboard` required (Info.plist key `UILaunchStoryboardName`) — Apple rejects static image launch.
+
+**Info.plist mandatory keys:**
+- `NSCameraUsageDescription` / `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` / `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` — if capability used; missing → runtime crash, not build error.
+- `CFBundleURLTypes` for custom URL schemes (deeplinks).
+- `NSAppTransportSecurity` — never set `NSAllowsArbitraryLoads=true` in prod (App Store rejection).
+- `UIBackgroundModes` array for any background audio / location / BLE.
+
+**Threading:** `@MainActor` for UI mutation; `actor` for shared mutable state; `Task { ... }` for async. NO `DispatchQueue.main.async` wrapping UI updates from Swift Concurrency code (defeats actor isolation).
+
+**Forbidden:** `NSAllowsArbitraryLoads=true`, force-unwrapping `UIImage(named:)` (use failable init), hardcoded API keys in `.swift` sources (use `.xcconfig` + `Bundle.main.infoDictionary`).

+# STACK — Swift SPM executable (macOS)
+
+Use for platform-native macOS UI. Requires some non-obvious incantations to avoid silent failures.
+
+**Info.plist embed — each arg prefixed with `-Xlinker`:**
+```
+.unsafeFlags([
+  "-Xlinker", "-sectcreate",
+  "-Xlinker", "__TEXT",
+  "-Xlinker", "__info_plist",
+  "-Xlinker", "/abs/path/Info.plist",
+])
+```
+Relative paths silently fail. `NSPrincipalClass=NSApplication` in Info.plist MANDATORY — without it the binary runs as a console tool, no menubar, no events.
+
+**Codesign:** `codesign --force --sign - <path>/MyApp.app` — ad-hoc signature is enough for local use; Gatekeeper flags unsigned `.app` bundles as damaged.
+
+**Menubar lifecycle (mandatory dance):**
+1. `NSApp.setActivationPolicy(.regular)` at launch
+2. Create `NSStatusItem` via `NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: .variable)`
+3. `NSApp.setActivationPolicy(.accessory)` AFTER status item is attached
+
+Skip any step → icon never appears, no error, silent failure.
+
+**Broken / forbidden:**
+- `MenuBarExtra` (SwiftUI) — does NOT work with SPM executables. Use `NSStatusItem` + SwiftUI popover.
+- Notch overflow (MacBook Pro 14/16 M1+) — new status items hidden behind notch. Verify visibility post-install.
+
+**LaunchAgent hygiene (learned from a real disk-bloat incident):** a duplicate LaunchAgent or a chatty sync daemon without log-silencing can fill the disk with tens of GB of log chatter. Check `launchctl list` before adding a LaunchAgent, and keep LaunchAgent stdout/stderr → `/dev/null`.

+Images — Recraft V3 handmade_3d (3D icons), Recraft V4 Vector (SVG), Image2SVG (raster→SVG), \
+FLUX.2 Pro (hero premium — ZERO-CONFIG, NO guidance_scale), FLUX.1 Dev (workhorse), \
+Bria RMBG 2.0 (bg removal). 3D — Trellis (GLB), TripoSR. Video — LTX 2.0 Fast (budget), \
+Luma Ray 2 I2V (use `loop: true` for hero), Kling v3 Pro I2V, Veo 3.
+
+Full-site budget template: 20 icons + 5 hero + 10 bg + 35 bg-removal + 35 upscale × 2 iterations \
+typically ≈ $4-8 at current rates. Hero video loop adds $0.50-2.00. Stay inside $10 unless \
+explicitly authorized.
+
+Model-specific gotchas: FLUX 2 Pro is ZERO-CONFIG — do NOT pass `guidance_scale` (breaks model). \
+Kling O3 has a 2500-char prompt limit and supports `elements` + `voice_ids` simultaneously (O3 only).

+  To activate them, merge entries from:
+      $KIT_DIR/settings-snippet.json
+  into your:
+      $HOME_DIR/.claude/settings.json
+
+  If you have no settings.json yet, you can simply copy the snippet:

+
+  Otherwise, open both files and append the PostToolUse / PreToolUse
+  entries to the matching arrays in your existing settings.json.
+
+  To verify install:
+      ls $AGENTS_DIR/*.md   # should show ~14 generated agents
+      $AGENTS_DIR/_assembler/target/release/assemble --validate
+

+description: Deep debugging using multi-agent analysis and error pattern matching. Use when user reports a bug, error, crash, or unexpected behavior. Triggers on "debug", "fix", "broken", "crash", "error", "bug".

+
+Error: $ARGUMENTS
+
+> [OPTIONAL INTEGRATIONS: this skill can cross-reference a project-local
+> error-patterns log and an `architecture-rules` skill if either is installed.
+> Both are optional — the skill works without them.]
+
+## Phase 0: Check Error Patterns (optional)
+
+If the project maintains an error-patterns log (conventional paths:
+`$PROJECT_ROOT/error-patterns.json` or `$HOME/.claude/memory/error-patterns.json`),
+read it FIRST.
+
+Check for matching patterns with frequency="recurring" or severity="critical".
+If match found — apply known fix immediately with note "Known pattern: [id]".
+
+If no log exists, skip this phase.
+
+## Phase 0.5: Load Architecture Rules (optional)
+
+If an `architecture-rules` skill is installed at
+`$HOME/.claude/skills/architecture-rules/`, read its
+`references/antipatterns.md` and `references/stack-compat.md` — the bug may
+be caused by a known anti-pattern or stack incompatibility.
+
+If that skill is not present, skip this phase.
+
+## Phase 1: Parallel Diagnosis (3 agents)
+
+### Agent 1: Stack Trace Analyzer
+- Parse the error message/stack trace
+- Identify the exact file:line where error originates
+- Trace the call chain backwards
+- Read all relevant source files
+- Return: root cause hypothesis + files involved
+
+### Agent 2: Context Investigator
+- Check git history — what changed recently?
+- Check if similar errors in git log messages
+- Look at related tests — are they passing?
+- Check dependencies — version mismatches?
+- Return: timeline of changes + correlation
+
+### Agent 3: Pattern Matcher
+- Search codebase for similar patterns that work
+- Compare working vs broken code
+- Check if it's a known anti-pattern
+- Search web for this specific error message
+- Return: similar working patterns + external solutions
+
+## Phase 2: Root Cause Analysis
+
+After agents return:
+1. Cross-reference all 3 analyses
+2. Identify ROOT cause (not symptom!)
+3. Rate confidence: X%
+
+```
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Error Chain:
+[symptom] ← [intermediate cause] ← [ROOT CAUSE]
+
+### Root Cause: [description]
+Confidence: X%
+
+### Evidence:
+- Agent 1 found: [...]
+- Agent 2 found: [...]
+- Agent 3 found: [...]
+
+### Why previous fixes failed (if applicable):
+[They fixed symptoms, not root cause]
+```
+
+## Phase 3: Fix Options
+
+Present 2-3 fix approaches:
+
+### Fix A: Architectural (correct)
+Changes the structure to prevent the class of error
+
+### Fix B: Targeted (quick)
+Minimal change that fixes this specific instance
+
+### Recommendation: [A or B] with reasoning
+
+## Phase 4: Implement & Verify
+
+1. Apply chosen fix
+2. Run relevant tests
+3. Verify fix doesn't break other things
+4. Check for similar vulnerable patterns elsewhere
+
+## Phase 5: Log Error Pattern (optional)
+
+If the project maintains an error-patterns log, append this fix to it.
+
+Conventional path (create if it does not exist):
+`$PROJECT_ROOT/error-patterns.json` or `$HOME/.claude/memory/error-patterns.json`
+
+Entry format:
+```json
+{
+  "id": "[category]-[number]",
+  "name": "[short pattern name]",
+  "trigger": "[when this happens]",
+  "wrongApproach": "[what was tried incorrectly]",
+  "correctApproach": "[actual fix]",
+  "severity": "critical|high|medium",
+  "frequency": "recurring|very-common|common|occasional",
+  "occurrences": 1,
+  "lastSeen": "[today's date]"
+}
+```
+
+If you maintain a project development-learnings log, append a session entry
+there as well.
+
+## Rules
+- NEVER patch symptoms — find root cause
+- Architecture fix > external fix
+- Don't rebuild what works
+- Verify every fact — no hallucinations
+- Log the error pattern when you maintain such a log

+---
+
+# New Agent — Project-Specialist Wizard
+
+You are creating a new project-specialist agent for the KeiSeiKit Constructor-Pattern agent fleet.
+
+The fleet lives at `~/.claude/agents/`:
+- `_manifests/*.toml` — source of truth (one per agent)
+- `_blocks/*.md` — reusable building blocks
+- `_templates/specialist.toml.template` — the template you will fill
+- `_assembler/target/release/assemble` — Rust binary: manifest + blocks → .md
+- `<name>.md` — generated agent file (a hook blocks direct edits)
+
+Goal: interactive wizard → fill template → validate → assemble in-place → report.

+
+---
+
+## Phase 1b — Follow-up (AskUserQuestion, ALWAYS run — one call)
+
+This call ALWAYS runs. Q7 (scrapers) is independent of Q2/Q3, so every agent answers it. Q5/Q6 default "No" only if user explicitly picks so.
+
+```json

+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Store as `Q5`, `Q6`, `Q7`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Free-text prompts (regular message, NOT AskUserQuestion)
+
+Ask the user to reply in one message with all four fields. Use this exact prompt:
+
+> Now give me four lines:
+> 1. Project slug (lowercase, `[a-z0-9-]{3,30}`, e.g. `myapp` — final agent name will be `<slug>-specialist`)
+> 2. One-line description (shown to the orchestrator)
+> 3. Project path (e.g. `~/Projects/MyApp/`)
+> 4. 3-5 domain gotchas / constraints (one per line; these become the forbidden-domain list)
+
+Validate the slug:
+- Lowercase `[a-z0-9-]+` only, 3-30 chars.
+- Invalid → report the regex failure and re-ask that single line; do not fall through.
+
+Build:
+- `name = "<slug>-specialist"`
+- `memory_project = "<slug>-project.md"`
+- `project_claudemd = "<project-path>/CLAUDE.md"` (preserve the `~/` prefix if the user gave it — the assembler does not expand tildes; manifests across the fleet keep `~/` literals)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Compose the manifest
+
+### 3.1 Compute `blocks` array
+
+ALWAYS include (in this order):
+1. `baseline` (OBLIGATORY)
+2. `evidence-grading` (OBLIGATORY)
+3. `memory-protocol` (OBLIGATORY)
+4. `rule-pre-dev-gate` (project-specialists write code → need it)
+
+Then stack block based on Q1 (one of):
+- Rust CLI → `stack-rust-cli`
+- Rust server (axum) → `stack-rust-axum`
+- Swift macOS (SPM) → `stack-swift-spm`
+- Swift iOS → `stack-swift-ios`
+- Flutter → `stack-flutter`
+- FastAPI + PostgreSQL → `stack-fastapi-postgres`
+- Next.js → `stack-nextjs`
+- Go server → `stack-go-server`
+- Embedded (STM32/ESP32) → `stack-embedded-stm32`
+- Python ML → `stack-python-ml`
+
+Then deploy block based on Q2 (skip for "None yet"):
+- Local only (banned-public) → `deploy-local-only`
+- AWS EC2 → `deploy-aws-ec2`
+- Cloudflare Workers → `deploy-cloudflare`
+- Modal → `deploy-modal`
+- Docker self-hosted → `deploy-docker`
+
+Then conditional domain blocks:
+- If Q3 == Yes → append `domain-paid-apis`
+- If Q4 == Yes → append `domain-ml-training` then `rule-math-first`
+- If Q5 == Yes → append `domain-patent-ip-aware`
+- If Q6 == Yes → append `domain-has-secrets`
+- If Q7 == "Free-tier only" → append `scraper-free-tier` then `scraper-unified-output`
+- If Q7 == "Paid tier" → append `scraper-paid-tier` then `scraper-free-tier` then `scraper-unified-output`; ALSO append `domain-paid-apis` if not already present (Q3 != Yes)
+
+### 3.2 Pre-flight: verify every block exists on disk
+
+Before writing the manifest, for each block in the computed list, check
+`~/.claude/agents/_blocks/<block>.md` exists. Use a single Bash call:
+
+```bash
+for b in baseline evidence-grading memory-protocol rule-pre-dev-gate <rest>; do
+  [ -f ~/.claude/agents/_blocks/$b.md ] || echo "MISSING: $b"
+done
+```
+
+If any block is missing:
+- Do NOT silently drop the block (constructive-only rule).
+- Report the missing block(s) to the user with three constructive paths:
+  (A) Create the missing block now (10 min) — offer to scaffold it from `baseline.md`.
+  (B) Proceed WITHOUT the block and document the gap in the manifest comment.
+  (C) Abort and come back once the parallel block-creation work lands.
+- Wait for user approval before proceeding.
+
+### 3.3 Compute `handoffs`
+
+ALWAYS include:
+- `code-implementer` — "generic dev work outside this project's stack"
+- `critic` — "anti-pattern / Constructor Pattern sweep on diffs >200 LOC"
+- `validator` — "fact-check / citation sanity before commit"
+
+Conditional additions:
+- Q3 == Yes → add `cost-guardian` — "paid API run — pricing + cost estimate + dashboard check"
+- Q4 == Yes → add `ml-implementer` — "numerical experiment / training run" AND `ml-researcher` — "literature / prior art lookup"
+- Q2 != "None yet" → add `infra-implementer` — "node provisioning / deploy / SSH / container ops"
+- Q1 is Rust/Swift/Go (any variant) → add `security-auditor` — "crypto / key handling / network / memory review"
+- Q7 == "Paid tier" → add `cost-guardian` if not already present (paid scraping = cost risk even when Q3 == No) — "paid scraper run — Apify/Bright Data pricing + cost estimate + dashboard check"
+
+### 3.4 Compute `references.extra`
+
+Start from:
+- The project's CLAUDE.md (Q2 path + `CLAUDE.md`)
+
+Conditional:
+- Q6 == Yes → a note like `"<project-path>/secrets/  (NEVER read into chat)"`
+
+### 3.5 Compute remaining fields
+
+`tools` — sensible project-specialist default:
+```
+"Glob", "Grep", "Read", "Edit", "Write", "Bash", "Agent", "TaskCreate", "TaskUpdate", "TaskList", "TaskGet"
+```
+
+`model` — `"opus"` (default; do not ask unless user overrode).
+
+`role` — 2-3 sentences you compose from the answers. Template:
+
+> You are the {slug} specialist. You own {one-line description}. Stack: {Q1}. Deploy: {Q2 or "local-only"}. {If Q5: "Sensitive IP: no public deploy, double explicit confirmation required."} Hand off generic dev work to `code-implementer`, numerical work to `ml-implementer` (if ML), and infra to `infra-implementer` (if deployed).
+
+`domain_in` — 5-8 lines derived from Q1/Q2 stack/deploy specifics. Use the
+existing generic manifests in `_manifests/` as shape references. If unsure,
+include at minimum: stack location, memory paths, deploy target, and any
+cost/paid-API context.
+
+`forbidden_domain` — start with the user's Phase-2 gotcha list (one line each,
+verbatim, quoted), then append the standard hardlines every project-specialist
+inherits:
+- `"\`git push\` to public hosting for any sensitive-IP project"`
+- `"\`git add -A\` — stage specific files only"`
+- If Q5 == Yes: `"Public deployment without double explicit confirmation (\"yes, deploy\" + \"I confirm publication\")"`
+- If Q6 == Yes: `"Echoing any secret from <secrets-dir> in chat — reference paths only"`
+- If Q4 == Yes: `"Running paid training without cost estimate + single-variant verify first"`
+- If Q7 == "Paid tier": `"Paid scraper batch >100 items without \`cost-guardian\` pre-run cost estimate"` + `"LinkedIn paid scrape without legal-review sign-off (BGH Germany Nov 2024 GDPR risk)"`
+- If Q5 == Yes AND Q7 != "None": `"Scraper output must never contain PII of subjects whose profile references unfiled patent IP (cross-contamination risk — priority-date leak via enrichment)"`
+- Files >200 LOC without decomposition (Constructor Pattern).
+- Picking a non-default language without a documented reason.
+
+`output_extra_fields` — 5-8 lines; reasonable defaults:
+- `"Stack touched: <{Q1}>"`
+- `"Deploy impact: <{Q2} — yes/no>"`
+- `"Language: <Rust | <other> + reason>"`
+- `"Tests added / updated: <path:test_name — pass/fail — reproduce cmd>"`
+- `"Checkpoints: <commit-sha> — <description>"`
+- If Q3 == Yes: `"Cost estimate: <$N.NN | N/A>"`
+- If Q4 == Yes: `"Math-first expression: <1-3 lines LaTeX>"`
+- If Q6 == Yes: `"Secrets referenced only (no echo): yes/no"`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Fill the template + write the manifest
+
+1. Read `~/.claude/agents/_templates/specialist.toml.template` via the Read tool.
+2. Replace EVERY `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` with the computed value. For list-shaped
+   placeholders (BLOCKS, DOMAIN_IN, FORBIDDEN_DOMAIN, OUTPUT_EXTRA, REFERENCES):
+   produce TOML-quoted strings, one per line, with trailing commas,
+   4-space indented — match the style of the existing manifests in `_manifests/`.
+3. For `TOOLS`: produce a comma-separated list of quoted strings inline, e.g.
+   `"Glob", "Grep", "Read", "Edit", "Write", "Bash"` (no trailing comma).
+4. For `HANDOFFS`: emit a sequence of `[[handoff]]` tables, one per downstream
+   agent, each with `target = "..."` and `trigger = "..."`, separated by blank
+   lines. Example:
+   ```toml
+   [[handoff]]
+   target = "code-implementer"
+   trigger = "generic dev work outside this project's stack"
+
+   [[handoff]]
+   target = "critic"
+   trigger = "anti-pattern / Constructor Pattern sweep on diffs >200 LOC"
+   ```
+5. Write the filled manifest to
+   `~/.claude/agents/_manifests/<slug>-specialist.toml` via the Write tool.
+
+CRITICAL invariants (re-check before Write):
+- All top-level keys appear BEFORE any `[[handoff]]`.
+- All `[[handoff]]` tables appear BEFORE `[references]`.
+- `[references]` is the FINAL section (nothing after it except the closing `]`).
+- `blocks` contains all three obligatory blocks: `baseline`, `evidence-grading`, `memory-protocol`.
+- At least one `[[handoff]]` is present.
+- `domain_in` and `forbidden_domain` each have >=1 entry.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Validate + assemble
+
+Run validate first, assemble only on success:
+
+```bash
+~/.claude/agents/_assembler/target/release/assemble --validate ~/.claude/agents/_manifests/<slug>-specialist.toml
+```
+
+If validate FAILS:
+- Show the error verbatim to the user.
+- Do NOT run `--in-place`.
+- Offer constructive paths:
+  (A) I fix the manifest and re-validate — show the diff first.
+  (B) You edit the manifest yourself; I re-validate after.
+  (C) Abort and delete the manifest.
+
+If validate PASSES:
+
+```bash
+~/.claude/agents/_assembler/target/release/assemble --in-place ~/.claude/agents/_manifests/<slug>-specialist.toml
+```
+
+This writes `~/.claude/agents/<slug>-specialist.md` (the generated agent file).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Report
+
+Show a concise block to the user:
+
+```
+Agent generated: <slug>-specialist
+  Blocks:    baseline, evidence-grading, memory-protocol, rule-pre-dev-gate,
+             <stack>, <deploy or —>, <domain blocks>
+  Handoffs:  code-implementer, critic, validator, <conditional ones>
+  Manifest:  ~/.claude/agents/_manifests/<slug>-specialist.toml
+  Generated: ~/.claude/agents/<slug>-specialist.md
+  Memory:    ~/.claude/memory/<slug>-project.md (not yet created — adjust path if your memory layout differs)
+
+Edit the MANIFEST, not the .md — the no-hand-edit-agents hook will block direct .md edits.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — Suggested next steps (print, do NOT execute without ask)
+
+Offer as a final block the user can copy-paste:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create project memory file (adjust path to your memory layout)
+touch ~/.claude/memory/<slug>-project.md
+
+# 2. Add one-line entry to your MEMORY.md index under "## Projects"
+#    e.g. [[<slug>-project]] — <one-line description>
+
+# 3. Commit the new agent
+cd ~/.claude && git add \
+  agents/_manifests/<slug>-specialist.toml \
+  agents/<slug>-specialist.md \
+  && git commit -m "feat: new agent <slug>-specialist"
+```
+
+Ask the user: "Run the three commands now? (yes / edit first / skip)"
+- yes → execute via Bash.
+- edit first → stop; they will run manually after editing.
+- skip → stop.
+
+---
+
+## Rules (apply throughout the wizard)
+
+- NO DOWNGRADE: every failure mode above must return constructive paths, not "can't do it".
+- PLAN MODE FIRST: this skill IS the plan — each phase is a step with a verify-criterion.
+- Constructor Pattern: the generated manifest must stay <200 lines; if your composition exceeds that, split a block instead of stuffing more into the manifest.
+- Surgical changes: do NOT touch other manifests, other agents, or unrelated files during the wizard.
+- Never fabricate block names or handoff targets that don't exist on disk — verify via Phase 3.2 before writing.

+description: Deep research on any topic using parallel agents, web search, and cross-referencing. Use when user asks to research, investigate, or deeply analyze a topic, technology, library, or concept. Triggers on keywords like "research", "investigate", "deep dive", "find out everything about".

+
+# Deep Research Skill
+
+You are conducting deep research on: $ARGUMENTS
+
+> [REQUIRES: optional knowledge vault] This skill persists research output to
+> a markdown knowledge vault at `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT` (conventional default:
+> `$HOME/Projects/KnowledgeVault/`). If you don't maintain a vault, use any
+> stable directory (e.g. `$HOME/research/`) — the skill will create
+> subdirectories as needed. Skip the vault-read phases if empty.
+>
+> [REQUIRES: team tools] The skill uses Claude Code's team orchestration
+> tools (`TeamCreate`, `TaskCreate`, `TaskUpdate`, `TeamDelete`). If your
+> Claude Code install lacks team tooling, run the phases sequentially with
+> single agents instead of parallel teammates.
+>
+> [OPTIONAL: project registry] If you maintain a project registry (e.g. in
+> `$HOME/.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `$HOME/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md`), the
+> `intersections` agent in Phase 5 reads it to find cross-project links.
+> Skip that agent if you have no registry.
+
+## PHASE -1: MANDATORY USER CHOICE — Variant + Control Level
+
+> **BEFORE any work**, ask the user two questions via `AskUserQuestion` (terminal option-picker, NOT free-text).
+> **Send BOTH questions in ONE `AskUserQuestion` call** (questions array of 2) so the user picks both in one prompt.
+
+### Question 1 — "Research depth variant"
+
+Options (pick ONE):
+
+- **A — Light (2-stage, ~15 min)** — Discovery wave → verification pass. 3-5 agents total. Structured report, no graph, no 9-angle verification. Use for: quick fact-checks, tool comparisons, shallow context.
+- **B — Standard (8-phase, ~40 min)** — Current default. Discovery (5 agents) → cross-ref → report → vault save → **9-angle verification wave** → synthesis → graph indexing → cleanup. Full report + graph.json + intersections.md. Use for: technology choice, architectural decisions, competitor mapping.
+- **C — Deep Decomposition (wave-based, ~1-2h)** — Wave 0 decomposes question → Wave 1 parallel angle exploration per component → Wave 2 "two-touches rule" expansion (find what was missed; expand each finding via 2 touches upstream/downstream) → Wave 3 cross-analysis + re-expansion of found paths. Each agent writes its own file. Mandatory self-cleanup at end. 15-30+ agents. Outputs component-report-per-file + master synthesis + graph + intersection matrix. Use for: patent-scale research, new domain entry, major strategic decisions.
+
+### Question 2 — "Control level"
+
+Options (pick ONE):
+
+- **1 — Full control** — Lead confirms EVERY agent spawn before it fires. You (lead) present a preview of the next wave's tasks and wait for user approval. Safest; slowest. Use when topic is sensitive, cost-critical, or decomposition untrusted.
+- **2 — Confirm branches only** — Lead spawns Wave 1 + discovery automatically. Confirms ONLY at (a) verification-wave start, (b) two-touches expansion branches, (c) any NEW domain a finding opens. Middle ground.
+- **3 — Max autonomy** — Lead self-approves all waves + branches via internal critique + confidence grading. User sees final report only. Fastest; requires trust. Use when topic well-scoped and user is away.
+
+### How to send (one AskUserQuestion call, 2 questions)
+
+```json
+{
+  "questions": [
+    {
+      "question": "Research depth variant?",
+      "header": "Depth",
+      "multiSelect": false,
+      "options": [
+        {"label": "A — Light (2-stage, ~15 min)",            "description": "Discovery + verification. 3-5 agents. Report only."},
+        {"label": "B — Standard (8-phase, ~40 min)",          "description": "Full current flow. 9-angle verification. Graph + intersections."},
+        {"label": "C — Deep decomposition (wave-based, ~1-2h)", "description": "Decompose → per-component → two-touches → cross-analysis. 15-30+ agents."}
+      ]
+    },
+    {
+      "question": "Control level?",
+      "header": "Control",
+      "multiSelect": false,
+      "options": [
+        {"label": "1 — Full control (confirm each spawn)", "description": "You approve every agent before it fires."},
+        {"label": "2 — Confirm branches only",             "description": "Auto discovery. Ask before verification + new branches."},
+        {"label": "3 — Max autonomy",                      "description": "Self-approve via internal critique. Final report only."}
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Route to matching section based on pair {A|B|C, 1|2|3}:
+- A → "## Variant A — Light" (below)
+- B → original 8-phase flow (current Phase 0-8)
+- C → "## Variant C — Deep Decomposition" (below)
+
+Control-level logic applies to ALL variants:
+- **L1** — before EVERY `TaskCreate` + agent spawn, invoke `AskUserQuestion` with options {Approve | Modify | Skip}
+- **L2** — auto-spawn discovery waves; `AskUserQuestion` ONLY before verification waves + new-branch spawns
+- **L3** — no user prompts; apply `critic` teammate self-evaluation on each wave output before proceeding
+
+---
+
+## Variant A — Light (2-stage)
+
+**Phase 0:** Check knowledge vault (same as standard).
+
+**Phase 1:** Spawn 3 teammates in parallel:
+- `web-researcher` — WebSearch/WebFetch top 10 findings
+- `critic` — limitations, alternatives, failure stories
+- `practical` — real-world use cases + prior art
+
+**Phase 2:** Cross-reference + verify + confidence grading (you, lead).
+
+**Phase 3:** Structured report + save to `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/research/{topic}-light/`.
+
+**Phase 4:** Cleanup — `TeamDelete`. No graph, no 9-angle, no two-touches.
+
+---
+
+## Variant C — Deep Decomposition (wave-based)
+
+### Wave 0 — Decomposition (lead-only, no spawn)
+
+Break the research question into 3-7 orthogonal components. Each component must be:
+- Independently explorable (no circular dependency)
+- Concrete (not "the whole topic" recursively)
+- Evidence-gradable
+
+Save decomposition to `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/research/{topic}/00-decomposition.md`. **If L1 control: show decomposition to user via `AskUserQuestion` with options {Approve | Request changes | Abort} before Wave 1.**
+
+### Wave 1 — Per-component angle exploration (parallel spawn)
+
+For EACH component from Wave 0, spawn 3-5 angle-specific agents:
+- `{component}-web` — WebSearch/WebFetch for this component only
+- `{component}-critic` — issues/limitations specific to this component
+- `{component}-practical` — real-world examples of this component
+- `{component}-docs` — official documentation (conditional)
+- `{component}-academic` — papers/arXiv (conditional, only for tech/ML/math)
+
+**Typical spawn count: 5 components × 4 angles = 20 agents.** Each writes to `{topic}/wave1-{component}-{angle}.md`.
+
+**If L1 control: ask user before spawning each component's wave (5 prompts).**
+**If L2 control: auto-spawn all Wave 1.**
+**If L3 control: auto-spawn all, self-critique each output.**
+
+### Wave 2 — Two-touches rule expansion
+
+For EACH Wave 1 finding, apply "two-touches rule":
+- **Touch 1** — What does this finding directly depend on? (upstream)
+- **Touch 2** — What does this finding enable or block? (downstream)
+
+Both touches MUST be explored — not just adjacent facts, but second-order consequences. If Wave 1 mentioned "Rust async uses tokio", Touch 1 = "what tokio depends on (mio, futures-rs)", Touch 2 = "what consuming tokio affects (debuggability, compile time, binary size)".
+
+Spawn one agent per (finding × two-touches) pair, or bundle by component. Each writes to `wave2-{component}-expansion.md`.
+
+**Also run a dedicated `{component}-gaps` agent per component:** "what was NOT covered in Wave 1 for this component? What angle is missing? What should have been asked but wasn't?"
+
+**If L1 control: user approves expansion list.**
+**If L2 control: user approves NEW domains opened by expansion.**
+**If L3 control: self-evaluate which branches are worth expanding; auto-approve.**
+
+### Wave 3 — Cross-analysis + re-expansion
+
+Now that Waves 1-2 have generated 30-50 .md files, run 5-7 synthesis agents:
+1. `cross-analyst` — which findings across components CONFLICT? Build conflict matrix.
+2. `gap-closer` — which gaps from Wave 2 `-gaps` agents are still open? Can any be closed with one more agent?
+3. `integration-mapper` — how do components connect to each other + to existing projects (read Project Registry)?
+4. `evidence-auditor` — re-grade ALL claims across all files. Downgrade unverified. Flag `[DISPUTED]`.
+5. `patent-angle-scanner` — for patent-scale research only: which findings are patentable primitives? Write to `patent-opportunities.md`.
+6. `timing-analyst` — what's urgent, what's deferred, what's already obsolete?
+7. `meta-critic` — final adversarial pass. "Is this research actually useful or just a pile of data?"
+
+Any finding marked for re-expansion: spawn one more agent for that specific thread.
+
+**If L1 control: user sees synthesis plan, approves.**
+**If L2 control: user approves re-expansion branches.**
+**If L3 control: auto-proceed.**
+
+### Wave 4 — Master synthesis (lead)
+
+Lead writes master document at `{topic}/MASTER-REPORT.md` containing:
+- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
+- Per-component findings (linked to wave1/wave2 files)
+- Cross-component conflicts + resolutions
+- Patent angles (if applicable)
+- Project-registry intersections
+- Evidence grades + confidence matrix
+- Timing recommendation
+- Open gaps (what COULDN'T be answered even with deep decomposition)
+
+Plus `graph.json` cumulative update + `intersections.md`.
+
+### Wave 5 — Cleanup (mandatory — no orphaned agents or stale files left behind)
+
+1. `shutdown_request` to ALL teammates
+2. `TeamDelete`
+3. Verify no orphaned agents
+4. Commit all research files to git (in knowledge vault repo if versioned)
+5. Update `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/knowledge/research-graph.json` master index
+6. Append one-line entry to `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/knowledge/research-index.md`
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL: Team-Based Orchestration
+
+> **ALWAYS create a team for research.** This is mandatory, not optional.
+>
+> **Step 1:** Call `TeamCreate` with `team_name: "research-{topic-slug}"` (e.g., "research-rust-async-runtimes")
+> **Step 2:** Create tasks via `TaskCreate` for each research angle
+> **Step 3:** Spawn named teammates via `Task` tool with `team_name` parameter
+> **Step 4:** Assign tasks to teammates via `TaskUpdate`
+> **Step 5:** Teammates work, mark tasks completed, go idle
+> **Step 6:** You (lead) synthesize results, create Phase 2 tasks, assign to idle teammates
+> **Step 7:** After all phases — `shutdown_request` to all teammates, then `TeamDelete`
+>
+> **WHY teams:** Task lists give visibility. Named teammates can be re-assigned across phases.
+> Idle teammates from Phase 1 get reused in Phase 5 — no wasted spawns.
+>
+> **Teammate naming convention:**
+> - Phase 1: `web-researcher`, `code-explorer`, `critic`, `practical`, `docs`
+> - Phase 5: reuse same teammates with new tasks (they keep context!)
+> - If topic doesn't need code exploration, skip `code-explorer` — spawn only what's needed
+>
+> **Execution pattern:**
+> 1. Phase 0 — you do this yourself (Read vault files)
+> 2. TeamCreate + TaskCreate for Phase 1 tasks
+> 3. Spawn 3-5 teammates IN PARALLEL (single message, multiple Task calls with team_name)
+> 4. Assign Phase 1 tasks to teammates
+> 5. Wait for teammates to complete (they send messages when done)
+> 6. Phase 2-3 — you do this yourself (cross-reference + report)
+> 7. Phase 4 — you do this yourself (save to vault)
+> 8. Create Phase 5 tasks, assign to EXISTING idle teammates (reuse, don't spawn new)
+> 9. If Phase 5 needs >5 agents, spawn additional teammates
+> 10. Wait for Phase 5 completion
+> 11. Phase 6-7 — you do this yourself (synthesis + graph)
+> 12. Shutdown all teammates, TeamDelete
+>
+> **NEVER use `run_in_background: true`** — you need their results to proceed.
+
+## Process
+
+### Phase 0: Check knowledge vault Vault
+
+Before web search, check existing knowledge:
+1. Read `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/knowledge/` MOC notes for relevant existing findings
+2. Search `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/research/` for related prior research
+3. Check `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/knowledge/wrong-paths.md` for known dead ends on this topic
+4. Use findings to focus web search on GAPS, not re-research known facts
+
+### Phase 1: Parallel Discovery (3-5 teammates)
+
+Create tasks and assign to teammates:
+
+1. **web-researcher** — Use WebSearch + WebFetch to find latest articles, docs, repos, benchmarks. Return top 10 findings with URLs.
+
+2. **code-explorer** — If topic relates to code/library, search the codebase and npm/pypi/github for implementations, examples, patterns. [CONDITIONAL: skip if not code-related]
+
+3. **critic** — Search for criticisms, limitations, known issues, alternatives. Find "X vs Y" comparisons, migration guides, deprecation notices.
+
+4. **practical** — Find real-world usage examples, case studies, production stories. Check GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, blog posts.
+
+5. **docs** — If a library/framework, fetch official docs. Use Context7 MCP if available for versioned docs. [CONDITIONAL: skip if not a library/framework]
+
+### Phase 2: Cross-Reference & Validate
+
+After teammates report back:
+1. Cross-reference findings — what do multiple sources agree on?
+2. Flag contradictions between sources
+3. Identify gaps — what wasn't found?
+4. Check dates — is information current?
+5. Rate confidence for each finding (high/medium/low)
+
+### Phase 3: Structured Report
+
+Present findings as:
+
+```
+## Research: [Topic]
+
+### Summary (2-3 sentences)
+
+### Key Findings
+1. [Finding] — confidence: X% — [source]
+2. ...
+
+### Architecture/How It Works
+[If applicable — diagrams, data flow]
+
+### Pros & Cons
+| Pros | Cons |
+|------|------|
+| ... | ... |
+
+### Alternatives Compared
+| Feature | Option A | Option B | Option C |
+|---------|----------|----------|----------|
+
+### Recommendations
+[Based on findings, what's the best path]
+
+### Sources
+- [URL] — [what was found]
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Save to knowledge vault + Memory
+
+If research reveals important patterns or decisions:
+- Save full research to `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/research/{topic}/` with YAML frontmatter and [[wikilinks]]
+- Update relevant MOC notes in `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/knowledge/`:
+  - New dead end → `wrong-paths.md`
+  - New pattern → `code-patterns.md`
+  - API finding → `api-integrations.md`
+  - Architecture insight → `architecture-decisions.md`
+- Save key findings to memory topic file
+- Update MEMORY.md index if new project/technology
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: 9-Angle Verification
+
+> Re-verification of EVERYTHING found so far. Reuse idle teammates from Phase 1 + spawn new if needed.
+> Goal: find errors in Phase 1-4, close gaps, open new vectors.
+
+Create new tasks and assign to teammates (reuse existing first, spawn additional if >5 needed):
+
+1. **web-researcher** (reuse) → **Numbers** — Verify ALL numbers, unit economics, metrics, benchmarks. Recalculate independently. Find primary sources for each figure. If numbers don't agree — mark `[DISPUTED]`.
+
+2. **critic** (reuse) → **Critique** — Devil's advocate. Find ALL reasons this WON'T work. Worst-case scenarios. Legal risks. Ethical problems. What skeptics say. Real failure stories.
+
+3. **practical** (reuse) → **Competitors** — Find ALL competitors (not only the obvious ones). Check: market map, Crunchbase, ProductHunt, G2/Capterra. Who launched in the last 6 months? Who died? Who pivoted?
+
+4. **docs** (reuse) → **Doc verification** — Re-read official docs, changelogs, migration guides, deprecation notices. Find undocumented features, breaking changes, roadmap items. Verify docs match real behaviour.
+
+5. **code-explorer** (reuse) → **Tech stacks** — Deep analysis of technologies: versions, compatibility, license (MIT/GPL/proprietary), community health (stars, contributors, last commit), alternatives. Vendor lock-in risk.
+
+6. **arch-analyst** (spawn new) → **Competitor architecture** — For each competitor: tech stack, architectural patterns, API design, infra, open-source components. Weak points. What's hard to replicate (moat).
+
+7. **academic** (spawn new) → **Academic papers** — [CONDITIONAL: only for tech/ML/math topics] arXiv, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, IEEE. Original papers. Skip if topic is business/SaaS.
+
+8. **intersections** (spawn new) → **Intersection branches** — Read Project Registry from `$HOME/.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `$HOME/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` (if maintained). For each project: is there an intersection? Can we reuse code/knowledge/infra? What NEW directions does this research open? Skip if no registry.
+
+9. **trends** (spawn new) → **Trends & timing** — Where is the market/technology moving? Hype cycle position. Regulation. Timing — too early or too late? Window of opportunity.
+
+### Phase 6: Verification Synthesis
+
+After all teammates report back:
+
+1. **Conflict Matrix** — Build a table: where do Phase 1 and Phase 5 disagree? For each conflict: which source is more reliable?
+2. **Evidence Upgrade** — Re-grade evidence (`[E1]`-`[E6]`) based on verification
+3. **Kill List** — Which findings from Phase 1-4 turned out false/inaccurate? Remove from report
+4. **New Findings** — What did verification find that discovery missed?
+5. **Updated Report** — Update structured report from Phase 3 with verified data
+
+### Phase 7: Graph Indexing
+
+Build knowledge graph and save to knowledge vault:
+
+1. **Generate `graph.json`** — Save to `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/research/{topic}/graph.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "topic": "research topic",
+  "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
+  "nodes": [
+    {"id": "node-1", "label": "Name", "type": "technology|company|concept|person|project", "evidence": "E1-E6", "confidence": 85}
+  ],
+  "edges": [
+    {"from": "node-1", "to": "node-2", "relation": "competes_with|depends_on|enables|blocks|intersects|replaces", "weight": 0.9, "evidence": "E1-E6"}
+  ],
+  "clusters": [
+    {"id": "cluster-1", "label": "Cluster Name", "nodes": ["node-1", "node-2"]}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+2. **Update knowledge vault wikilinks** — Ensure all nodes have corresponding `[[wikilinks]]` in research notes and MOC files
+
+3. **Intersection Map** — Generate `intersections.md` showing connections to existing projects:
+```
+## Intersections with Project Registry
+- [[project-name]] ↔ [finding] — potential: high/medium/low — action: [what to do]
+```
+
+4. **Update Master Graph** — Append new nodes/edges to `$KNOWLEDGE_VAULT/knowledge/research-graph.json` (cumulative index across all research sessions)
+
+### Phase 8: Cleanup
+
+1. Send `shutdown_request` to ALL teammates
+2. Wait for shutdown confirmations
+3. Call `TeamDelete` to clean up team and task list
+
+---
+
+## Rules
+- NEVER present unverified claims as facts
+- Always cite sources with URLs
+- Flag when information might be outdated (>6 months)
+- Present multiple viewpoints, not just one
+- Evidence grade (`[E1]`-`[E6]`) for each major claim. Suggested scale: E1=primary source confirmed, E2=reproducible / multi-source agreement, E3=synthetic benchmark, E4=expert assessment / docs analysis, E5=theoretical hypothesis, E6=single unverified or stale (>6mo) source.
+- Confidence percentage for each major claim
+- Phase 5 verification is MANDATORY — skip only if user explicitly says "quick research"
+- Graph indexing runs AFTER verification, not before (verified data only goes into graph)
+- **TeamCreate is MANDATORY** — no research without a team
+- **Reuse teammates across phases** — don't spawn new when idle ones exist
+- **TeamDelete at the end** — always clean up

+description: Use when generating tests for untested code — happy path, edge cases, error handling
+arguments:
+  - name: target
+    description: File path or function name to test
+    required: true
+---
+
+# Test Generation Workflow
+
+## Step 1: Analyze Target
+- Read the target file/function completely
+- Identify: inputs, outputs, side effects, dependencies, error paths
+- Check existing test files — don't duplicate
+
+## Step 2: Detect Framework
+- Auto-detect test framework from project:
+  - Python: pytest (conftest.py, pytest.ini) or unittest
+  - JS/TS: jest (jest.config), vitest (vitest.config), mocha
+  - Flutter: flutter_test
+  - Go: built-in testing
+- Match existing test file naming: `test_*.py`, `*.test.ts`, `*_test.dart`, `*_test.go`
+
+## Step 3: Plan Test Cases
+Categories (in order of priority):
+1. **Happy path** — normal expected usage (2-3 cases)
+2. **Edge cases** — boundaries, empty inputs, max values (2-3 cases)
+3. **Error handling** — invalid inputs, missing data, network errors (1-2 cases)
+4. **Integration** — only if function interacts with external services (1 case with mock)
+
+## Step 4: Write Tests
+- Follow existing test patterns in the project
+- Use descriptive test names: `test_<function>_<scenario>_<expected>`
+- One assertion per test (prefer)
+- Mock external dependencies, not internal logic
+- Use fixtures/factories from existing test infrastructure
+
+## Step 5: Run & Verify
+- Run new tests — all must pass
+- Run full test suite — no regressions
+- Check coverage delta if coverage tool available
+
+## Step 6: Commit
+- `test: add tests for <target>`
