Skills

A skill is a small piece of policy the runner applies. Each skill has a markdown spec and a code-side runner.

ralph-loop

Retry policy with scope reduction. 5 attempts. On attempt 3+ skip optional work. On attempt 5 raise a typed gate with evidence.

gate-guard

Decides if an action needs human approval. Detects destructive shell commands, external publish, paid calls, and missing secrets. Stops and writes a gate file.

humanizer

Tone rules for public copy. Strips banned words: revolutionary, powerful, next-gen, seamless, unlock, leverage, delight. Cuts filler sentences.

daily-briefing

Rally uses this at start of a session. Reads prior runs, lists open gates, picks the top 3 things to do.

work-out-loud

Echo uses this after a ship. Appends a dated entry to the changelog. Past tense. Concrete. No claims of value.

content-refresh

Quill and Cipher use this when an outline changes. Re-renders one page without rebuilding everything.
