Slash commands (5)

  • /sota-skills:sota-audit

    Audit this codebase against the library — agree and pin the scope, route from the surfaces rather than from whatever happened to get loaded, map the trust boundaries, run the scanners, walk every applicable rules file's Audit checklist item by item, ask the questions that need a decision, then fix w

  • /sota-skills:sota-close

    End-of-session closure pass — retract what proved wrong and correct it everywhere it reached, hand off open items where the next session will trip over them, update the docs this session made false, re-derive every number from its source, and commit the evidence. Run it at the END of a working sessi

  • /sota-skills:sota-deep-audit

    The heavy audit — a hostile review of a whole repository by someone who will inherit it: the threat model reconstructed from the code and a control-presence matrix built against it, then code, history, decisions, results and forward plan, fanned out across independent agents, load-bearing claims re-

  • /sota-skills:sota-report

    Write a SOTA-skills field report for this session — where the guidance failed, was absent, was wrong, or was right and did not fire. Run it at the END of a working session, while the history is still in context.

  • /sota-skills:sota-resume

    Find and finish the open work in this project — inventory every tracker, checkbox and marker with a controlled search, classify what is actually actionable, agree the list, then execute one item at a time against the project's own verification. Run it at the START of a session.
