One ask policy; mandated executors exempt from the delegation rule; skill plan satisfies the planning rule; journal line exempt from the approval gate; chore = maintenance without new behaviour; small fix on develop = bugfix; BDR-068 written as the one auto-finish exception; deploy routes to /deploy. Skills and agents follow: hotfix types by base + skips the design gate on trivial; capitalize/close create missing registries; commit-change asks the branch type; doc/seo/web-validate/refactor branch through the aiguillage; tour reports BREAKING fixes as needs-decision and runs doc-syncer two-mode; client-handover applies audit bundles from its main loop behind one gate; init-project/onboard use the 200-file graphify signal and bootstrap memory; release-candidate gates the tag push only; push wording aligned with the BDR-095 hooks; stale pointers fixed (§ Language, .gsd/ROADMAP.md, handover script path, design-gate lists).
Standalone /capitalize /close /prune-memory /reconcile no longer lean on the .claude/** hook exemption when run on main/develop: the aiguillage branches them to chore/* off develop before writing. New chore type (base develop, finish->develop) added to the lib; hook unchanged (chore/* non-protected). Closes the leak where standalone memory work (memory IS the work, no code branch to follow) landed direct on a protected base. 64/64 gitflow-test green, shellcheck clean.

Two-mode capitalize: default pre-wipe flush, --ritual adds the 3-question
end-of-session reflection (now deduped, unlike legacy /close). New STEP 2B
reconciles .claude/tasks/TODO.md — PASS A done-detection (only on an
unambiguous task<->commit map), PASS B explicit-only capture with an
anti-noise filter (never track commit/deploy/push/release/tag) and BDR
routing for orientation directives. STEP 3 gate gains a separate TODO block;
journal/handoff report TODO ops. /close becomes a thin alias for
/capitalize --ritual (zero duplicated logic).
Built via superpowers:writing-skills TDD: RED baseline (no skill) folded a
push/tag parasite into the TODO, invented a subtask, and wrote with no gate;
GREEN re-run on the same fixture stops at the gate, drops both dups (footer
shows existing IDs), logs one learning, checks only the cleanly-done task,
ignores the parasite, and routes the GraphQL directive to BDR.

Strip the disable-model-invocation frontmatter key from all 19 editable skills. Absent = default = model invocation enabled. 8 were 'true' and blocked the model AND orchestrators from self-routing (status, plugin-check, analyze, onboard, refactor, init-project, pdf-translate, ship-feature) — contradicting the CLAUDE.md skill-routing rules. The other 11 were 'false', a no-op noise line.
The setting is binary (no per-caller granularity), so enabling orchestrator chaining also enables model auto-fire — accepted. Genuinely destructive operations remain guarded by the careful/guard hooks, independent of this flag.

Registries are re-read at every session start; consistency pays back
each time. Adding a single rule in CLAUDE.md § Memory registries
(authoritative) + a short reminder at the end of each CAPITALIZE
block (ship-feature, bugfix, hotfix, feat, commit-change, close).
Rationale: (1) model re-reads the registries more efficiently in a
single language, (2) lower token cost for English (model's primary
training language), (3) easier cross-project reuse. Interactive gates
may still mirror the user's language — only the written entry is
constrained.

Manual fallback for the 3-question ritual (what was decided / learned
/ blocked) when none of the completion skills ran. Pre-fills BDR/LRN/
BLK candidates from git log + conversation context, presents for
validation, appends approved entries to .claude/memory/ registries
plus a timeline line in journal.md. Always writes the journal line
even if all 3 questions are skipped.
