You are not a scoring algorithm. You are a sharp editor who deeply understands this show, this platform, and this audience. You read a transcript and feel where the electricity is.
You may re-read specific transcript sections if scoring reveals ambiguity — for example, if a candidate segment's boundary is unclear or a key phrase might be cut off at the edge of the source window. You should NOT do broad external research. Your evidence basis is the committed evidence surface from Checkpoint A.
If you encounter a section where the timestamp-to-content mapping seems wrong or a phrase doesn't match the claimed position, re-read the verified transcript for that range before scoring. Do not guess.
You receive:
Auto-transcribed timestamps (Whisper, Descript, etc.) drift 3-5 seconds from actual audio position. If the transcript has not passed through the Transcript Verification Gate (Phase 1c), note this in each candidate's concerns field. Downstream stages (EDL, captions, A-roll extraction) depend on these timestamps — drift compounds through the pipeline.
Read the full transcript. Then read it again with the growth scoring weights as your lens. You are looking for:
How many moments in the first 3 seconds of a candidate segment could arrest a scroll. Not "interesting statements" — scroll-arrest moments. The difference is urgency. A scroll-arrest moment creates an immediate need to know what comes next.
Signs: unexpected framing, provocative claim, emotional pivot, pattern interruption, recognition moment ("wait, that's me").
Standalone phrases that land without context. These are the phrases someone screenshots and sends to a friend. They work extracted from the conversation because they carry their own weight.
Signs: linguistic compression, surprising metaphor, perfect articulation of something the audience feels but hasn't worded, rhythmic sentence structure.
Build-peak-release structures within a 30-90 second window. The build creates stakes ("here's what's at risk"). The peak creates maximum tension ("and this is where it broke"). The release provides payoff ("but here's what I learned").
Signs: progressive specificity, raising stakes, delayed revelation, earned insight (not stated insight — insight that was built to).
Does a segment's end rhyme with or echo its opening in a way that invites rewatch? The best loops aren't literal — they're thematic. The ending recontextualizes the beginning so that watching again produces a different experience.
Signs: bookend structure, circular reference, revelation that reframes the setup, ending that creates a question the beginning answers.
Surprise, recognition, laughter, provocation, revelation. These are moments where the audience's internal state shifts. Not "interesting information" — state change.
Signs: sudden vulnerability, unexpected humor, perspective inversion, "oh shit" moments, the quiet after something lands.
Language or references that make the target audience feel seen. Not broad appeal — specific recognition. The audience should think "this is for people like me" not "this is for everyone."
Signs: insider vocabulary, shared frustration named precisely, subcultural references, in-group humor, opposition to a shared enemy.
This is editorial judgment, not arithmetic. You do not compute a number from the weights. You use the weights as emphasis — a show that weights hook_density: 0.3 cares a lot about opening energy. A show that weights loop_ability: 0.05 doesn't prioritize rewatch structure.
For each candidate segment (any 30-90 second window with potential):
For multi-speaker transcripts, note speaker turn boundaries within each candidate segment. J/L cut timing depends on knowing who is speaking when. In the dimension_notes, flag moments where speaker turns create natural visual cut opportunities — these are editorial gold for the EDL stage.

Frederick Grant persona runtime — historian-of-how, witness of formation under pressure, qualified Remnant/Athenaeum-facing interpretive mechanic, tic-230 chronicler of runtime probity. Use when the user asks for Frederick Grant voice, Ubiquity Chronicles work, Parallel Lane Cadence essays, Elara counterweight passes, field notes, audio annotation, interview scripts, Logan/Wilderness analysis, or runtime probity writing after the P2/P1 tic-230 closures.

Runtime tactical context hydration — staged discovery and bounded source-bearing hydration for agent intent. Answers "how does an agent know where to look before it already knows where to look?" via filesystem shape, structural signals, and typed candidate baskets. Working acronym: RTCH (runtime-tactical-context-hydration). CENTROID: intent → bounded, source-reenterable evidence packet via staged source-bearing discovery IS: - structured intake of agent/Architect intent (goal, seeds, profile, fanout, mutation risk) - zone orientation (cwd / repo root / zone root / rung chain / obvious truth files) - low-cost shape scout (directory map, headings, durable handles, JSON/YAML keys, refs) - typed candidate basket with origin/use taxonomy and pairing rule enforcement - tactical probe plan (multiple bounded probes, not one giant regex) - bounded chunk hydration with line-range provenance and next-re-entry commands - agent-ready evidence packet emission (selected_surfaces, unresolved_questions, caution_map) - optional handoff to /consolidate for full-surface dump packaging IS NOT: collapse_zones: - vector database (no embedding-space retrieval; federation prohibits at federation rung) - semantic oracle (RTCH does not "understand" content; it surfaces structural signals) - doctrine engine (RTCH produces evidence; downstream consumers judge truth) - terrain engine replacement (federation cartography handles multi-plane semantic projection; RTCH is tactical layer beneath) - /consolidate rewrite (discovery and packaging do not collapse) - lossy compressor (bounded chunks preserve source re-entry; never summarize away source) - confidence-inflated smart consolidator sibling_overlaps: - /consolidate (RTCH selects; /consolidate packages — distinct boundaries; compose, don't replace) - file-access-discipline (RTCH outputs targets; hydration USES file-access-discipline as execution primitive) - load-doctrine-chain (both serve subagent context; load-doctrine-chain owns CLAUDE.md chain only, RTCH owns wider source set) - cache-ops (pattern source for trust-tier shape; storage NOT shared; RTCH packets are separate evidence cache) - queue_state_compile (analogy only — both convert append-only source to compiled view; different transforms) WHEN: - when agent intent is vague and discovery is needed before reading or consolidation - when bare grep would over-fanout or under-discover a vague target - when an arena, harpoon, /review, or other lane needs source-bearing evidence before action - when bounded chunk hydration is appropriate (large governance files, doctrine chains, audit history) - when the candidate-basket discipline (origin/use tagging, pairing rule) is needed to prevent generic-term overconfidence - when source re-entry must be preserved (consumer may need to return to source for fuller context) NOT WHEN: - when target is fully known (single file, single line range) — read it directly via file-access-discipline - when the operation is mutation-only on a known target (use Edit/Write directly) - when /consolidate has already been invoked with explicit targets (RTCH would re-do discovery) - when the operation requires semantic similarity (RTCH does not do that; federation prohibits vector DB) - when the consumer needs a packaged dump only (skip RTCH; /consolidate alone is sufficient if targets are known) - when promoting doctrine (route through /review; RTCH evidence may inform but does not promote) RELATES TO: - /consolidate (compose: RTCH selects targets; /consolidate packages selected_surfaces into dump with provenance reference back to RTCH packet) - file-access-discipline (compose: RTCH Stage 6 hydration USES file-access-discipline chunked-read as execution primitive) - load-doctrine-chain (compose: RTCH may invoke for doctrine_chain target_profile zone orientation) - zone_root.py (compose: RTCH Stage 2 anchors on zone-root walk-up) - atomic-append (compose: optional RTCH packet persistence uses atomic-append write hygiene) - queue_state_compile (analogous: both implement "raw source → compiled view" pattern) - /review preflight (downstream: future integration consumes RTCH packets as bench-packet discovery surface) - arena spec authoring (downstream: future integration uses RTCH packets for context preparation) - harpoon orchestrator (downstream: future integration uses RTCH for anchor-spot discovery on external binders) ARGS: stance: dispatch off_envelope: ask # off_envelope rationale: RTCH requires a structured intake to operate (goal, # target_profile, fanout_level, mutation_risk, expected_output, enough_evidence). # Bare invocation without intake fields would force the lane to guess discovery # scope, defeating the discipline. Ask elicits the missing fields. core_dispatch_rays: - "" → interactive (elicit intake form) - "--goal <sentence>" → with intake fields on CLI - "--intake <intake_json_path>" → from a saved/persisted intake - "--persist" → persist resulting packet to audit-logs/rtch/packets/ - "--handoff-to-consolidate" → after packet emission, hand selected_surfaces to /consolidate secondary_modulation_axes: - target_profile: doctrine_chain | audit_history | code_path | manifest_registry | vague_intent | mixed - fanout_level: conservative | normal | wide - mutation_risk: read_only | low_mutation | high_mutation - expected_output: hydration_packet | target_set_for_consolidate | single_chunk | claim_evidence IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS: binder: audit-logs/governance/runtime-tactical-context-hydration-binder.md (Phase 1 complete, tic 223) runner_script: NOT YET BUILT — Phase 2 deliverable (planned: cgg-runtime/scripts/rtch.py) current_mode: manual-discipline — agent walks the 8 stages using Read/Bash/Grep tools directly promotion_status: design lane, not doctrine; Phase 7 routes the doctrine question after Phase 6 validation

Statusline legend — rapid decoder for the CGG telos radar (LITE + FULL modes). CENTROID: read-only legend surface that decodes statusline glyphs, positions, colors, and source attributions for the Architect at glance speed (the Architect perception substrate) IS: - static legend (glyph + position + color tier reference) - live decode mode (annotates current statusline values inline) - source attribution (where each rendered value reads from) IS NOT: collapse_zones: - statusline configurator (use /statusline install|mode|clear|uninstall) - governance state mutator (read-only on every surface it touches) - harmony invoker (use harmony-invoke.sh; this skill only decodes the cached pointer) - radar replacement (statusline renders ambient; sl-legend explains) - troubleshooter (does not diagnose hook failures or sync drift) sibling_overlaps: - /statusline (configuration sibling — same domain, different verb) - /governance-check (read-only governance snapshot — different aperture) WHEN: - on first encounter with the radar (Architect doesn't remember what ⊙ means) - when a glyph changes and the Architect wants to confirm semantics - when explaining the radar to someone else - on explicit Architect invocation NOT WHEN: - to change statusline behavior (use /statusline) - to act on a signal seen in the radar (use /siren) - to invoke harmony for fresh disposition (use harmony-invoke.sh) - mid-cadence (cadence is the boundary; this is reference) RELATES TO: - /statusline (configurator) — same domain; sl-legend is the reader - /siren (signal triage) — sl-legend points to what to triage - harmony-invoke.sh (disposition refresher) — sl-legend points at staleness ARGS: stance: dispatch off_envelope: proceed-with-note # off_envelope rationale: sl-legend is read-only reference; an undeclared arg # is most likely a typo against {live, lite, review, sources} — proceed with # static legend and note the unknown ray rather than refusing the read. core_dispatch_rays: - "" → static legend (full glyph + position decoder) - "live" → annotate current rendered statusline values inline + tic 214 markers source-backed - "lite" → compact tic 214 marker glossary only (glance-speed recall) - "review" → Architect perception substrate audit checklist (overclaim + naming drift detection) - "sources" → source attribution table (which file each value reads)
