--- name: check-corpus-readiness description: Checks whether the substacker corpus has enough material to justify a Curator run. Counts published posts, time-gates against the last review, and reports go/no-go with the specific gate that failed. Use before any Curator run, and on cold start to decide whether to propose sections yet.

- Checks whether the substacker corpus has enough material to justify a Curator run. Counts published posts, time-gates against the last review, and reports go/no-go with the specific gate that failed. Use before any Curator run, and on cold start to decide whether to propose sections yet. Trigger keywords: readiness, corpus ready, gate check, cadence gate, pre-flight.
Check Corpus Readiness
Gates
- Minimum 28 days since last Curator review (
ops/curator/YYYY-MM-DD-review.md). - Minimum 4 new published posts since last review.
- Cold start:
section-map.mdempty requires ≥10 posts incorpus/published/**.
Output
{
"ready": bool,
"gate_failed": str or None, # which gate, if any
"days_elapsed": int,
"new_posts": int,
"total_posts": int,
"rationale": str
}
Worked example
- Corpus has 21 posts. Last review 2026-03-10 (44 days ago). New posts since: 5. →
{ready: true, gate_failed: None, ...}. - Corpus has 15 posts. Last review 2026-04-05 (18 days ago). →
{ready: false, gate_failed: "28-day-floor", days_elapsed: 18, ...}. Skip this run. - Cold start, corpus has 9 posts. →
{ready: false, gate_failed: "cold-start-10-post-floor", ...}. Abort.
Guardrails
- Abort if corpus has shrunk. Posts disappearing is not a Curator concern.
- A user-invoked early run still reports
ready: falsewith a too-recent warning in the output, but doesn't block. Writer decides. - First step of every Curator run. If this fails, all other skills skip.

--- name: advisory-edit description: A strict advisory-only editing discipline for a writer who dictates ("speaks out") essays and wants help WITHOUT having their voice changed. The editor directs structure, flags grammar, and suggests strategic language — but never modifies the writer's text unless the writer explicitly says "apply" / "make that change" / "rewrite this." Produces a line-referenced, suggestion-only critique where every item is marked the writer's call. Four passes: structural, l

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Provides the house style for analyst-grade strategist writing — third-person register with sparing first-person, no em dashes, no "not X, not Y, not Z" negation cascades, numbered footnote citations rather than inline source parentheticals, specific opinion-signaling phrases, and topic-forward paragraph structure modeled on voice patterns observed in Damodaran's Musings on Markets and Thompson's Stratechery. Use when consolidating working notes into a finished long-form strategist or analyst report that must read as written by a senior human analyst rather than an AI assistant.

testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Renders a markdown report to a PDF using pandoc with xelatex (11pt serif body, 1-inch margins, numbered footnotes, formal heading hierarchy). Requires a one-time install of pandoc and a LaTeX engine on the user's machine — basictex on macOS or texlive-xetex on Linux. Does not attempt automatic install. Fails loudly with the exact install commands if pandoc or xelatex is missing on the user's PATH. Use when producing a finished strategist or analyst report PDF from a polished markdown source.

lyndonkl/worked-example-walkthrough
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Produces step-by-step computational walkthroughs of vector and matrix operations as a sequence of numbered "frames", showing the explicit state at each step. The text-equivalent of a 3Blue1Brown animation — each frame shows what changed and why, so the learner can re-trace the operation by hand. Use when the learner needs to *see* a computation unfold (eigenvalue computation, attention with 3 tokens, gradient descent step, SVD on a 2×2, layer norm on a 3-vector, softmax of a small input), when an explanation has been given but the learner needs to ground it in a worked example, or when introducing an operation that's intimidating in symbol form but trivial in pencil-and-paper form.
