Operationalizing Expertise
Goal: turn tacit method into executable, auditable artifacts.
Quick Start (pick a track)
Track A: Static Distillation (corpus -> kernel)
Use when you only need a stable, parseable methodology (Lemelson-style).
Summary: corpus + quote bank + triangulated kernel + operator library + validators.
Full steps: references/WORKFLOWS.md.
Track B: Orchestrated Loop (kickoff -> deltas -> artifact)
Use when you want multi-agent sessions that compile into structured artifacts (Brenner-style).
Summary: kickoff -> deltas -> deterministic merge + lint -> artifacts.
Full steps: references/WORKFLOWS.md and references/ARTIFACTS.md.
Track C: Session Mining (your own practice)
Use when operationalizing your own repeated behaviors into a reusable skill.
- Find repeated prompts/actions in history (cass search).
- Extract triggers, actions, and avoided failures.
- Generalize into rules: "When X, do Y because Z."
- Validate against counter-examples.
If unsure, start with Track A then add Track B only if you need orchestration.

Core Invariants (must hold)
- Evidence-first: every rule cites anchors in the quote bank.
- Deterministic parsing: kernel/operator sections must be marker-bounded.
- Triangulation: kernel contains consensus only; disagreements go to DISPUTED/UNIQUE.
- Operator cards must include triggers, failure modes, and a prompt module.
- Validation gates are required; failing them blocks release.
- Provenance must be auditable (quote IDs, source file, page/section).
- Join-key contract: thread_id ties mail thread, tmux session, and artifact file.
- Memory feedback is opt-in and must be hygiene-gated.

tkersey/opt
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Orchestrate Codex skill optimization during active sessions through $cas goal control, $shadow single-session evidence, $tune diagnosis/refinement briefs, and the skill-optimizer custom subagent. Trigger for $opt, skill optimization loops, session-driven skill tuning, meta-skill audits, or explicit validated skill edits. Do not use for general code optimization, product optimization, or performance tuning.

tkersey/fresh-eyes-blunder-pass
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Run a targeted fresh-eyes blunder pass over code, specs, plans, adjudications, closure gates, skill edits, or negative-evidence ledgers. Trigger when asked to reread with fresh eyes, find obvious bugs, catch mistakes/oversights/omissions, check for embarrassing misses, or perform a second independent blunder pass before closure. Do not use as a substitute for implementation, adjudication, or verification; use it as the final falsification/check pass for those workflows.

Explicitly shadow, tail, watch, follow, monitor, supervise, or companion exactly one Codex session id/path through `$seq`, then apply a named target skill as an interpretation/reporting/proposal/action lens until the watched session stops.
