The boot log has said `continuous_research — 4 role skills bound, 8 unresolved`
on every start. Those eight roles ran without the instructions their template
promised them, silently: `skills_loader` reports the miss and carries on.
Worse than the missing files was what the prompts described. v1 told the
harvester to sweep "RSS feeds, GitHub trending, HN front page, YouTube /
podcast RSS" — none of which exist. `harvest.rs` searches arXiv and nothing
else. A role prompt describing a machine that was never built is the failure
this codebase keeps paying for, so v2 describes the machine that exists.
Roles now match the pipeline: paper_reader (the harvest already ran; read the
manifest and the papers), signal_ranker (unchanged in spirit), script_writer
(the podcast half, which had no role at all).
Seven skills authored under skills/research/, kebab-case to match the loader —
team_template_loader.rs:177-181 documents the snake_case/kebab-case trap that
already unbinds skills elsewhere:
arxiv-daily what the harvest guarantees, so an agent does
NOT re-search arXiv and corrupt the seen-set
paper-to-project-relevance name a file or roadmap item, or say "no bearing"
duplicate-detection the seen-set catches identity; this catches the
same work under a different id
signal-to-noise-ranking novelty/relevance/depth, and the two biases to
resist (recency up, inconvenience down)
executive-summary-writing what it is / why it matters / what to do — decide,
do not hedge
obsidian-vault-conventions the vault is a human's live workspace; never
main, never reorganise, hash the body not the file
podcast-dialogue-writing write for someone on a treadmill; the 10-70 char
highlight bound is the API's, not a style rule
`web_fetch` dropped from mcp_bundles: runtime_provision.rs binds every mission
claw to `["clawmates_door"]` and never reads that field, so declaring it
instructed roles to use a tool that never arrived. The prompts say `curl` via
Bash, which is what they actually have.
Boot now reports `continuous_research — 11 role skills bound`, with no
unresolved clause. 344 tests pass.
