The 15 Skill(effort-*) citers now call mcp__model-router__route per phase
(orchestrate at a dispatch span, reflect/plan for the skill's own level,
apply at the bookkeeping tail, escalate at the verify-secure caps); built-in
judgment dispatches carry an explicit effort= param. lib/effort-shift.md is
the route doctrine, lib/model-gate.md the mod rule (route answer = witness,
/route on as remedy). Deleted: skills/effort-*, lib/effort-pins.txt/.sh,
lib/model-check.sh, their tests, the installers' re-apply blocks. The mod
drops its Skill(effort-*) bridge. The tracked model:/effort: frontmatter
stays as the off-state floor, census-locked equal to the rows
(lib/tests/effort-routing.test.sh rewritten, 140 checks; analyzer → xhigh).
Contract .claude/tasks/contracts/2026-10-10-model-router-w2b-1045.md, plan
r4 § W2-B: GATE 0 MET, verifier ECARTS(7) then CONFORME 10/10, security
PASS, full make test green (design-tool-gate env red only).
The 21st pack refresh (update-all 7.4) rewrites every 21st-* SKILL.md after
the superpowers refresh; the re-apply now sits after it, the census locks
the order in both scripts. Contract: criterion 3 anchor, shellcheck
directive authorized, tracked design-motion-principles copy gated.
- lib/effort-pins.txt (map) + lib/effort-pins.sh (idempotent re-apply)
replace the hardcoded brainstorming/writing-plans loop; called after the
last vendoring step of install-plugins.sh AND update-all.sh (the resync
dropped the pins until the next make plugin)
- design stack high uniform (last loaded wins), superpowers, agent-skills,
21st pack pinned from the map; skills-perso low, pdf-translate medium,
site-motion high
- doctrine: design stack loads paired with the first Read; one level per
stack (CLAUDE.global.md, lib/effort-shift.md)
- lib/effort-audit.py prints thinking coverage per scope (sub-agent records
carry no thinking count on ~94 % of requests)
- census map-driven + fixture suite lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh; docs
README/USAGE/CHANGELOG; contract + TODO plan
