+# Superpowers Review — Bridge to nagent_review_20260608 + fable_review_20260617
+
+This bridge connects the superpowers review's verdicts to nagent_review's 16 future-track candidates and fable_review's synthesis sections. Read alongside `nagent_takeaways_20260608.md` (nagent's 10 takeaways) for the unified review corpus.
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+The superpowers review's 19 verdicts (14 superpowers-plugin skills + 5 MMA skills) overlap with nagent_review's 14-section analysis on **durable work** + **disposable workers** + **explicit interfaces** + **editable state** + **controlled writes**, but they diverge on the **meta-tooling vs application boundary** and on **TDD-with-pressure-scenarios for skills**. The superpowers review adds 3 new candidates not in nagent_review (see below). The two corpora reinforce each other on the "project follows the discipline" pattern but disagree on the dual-convention question (`docs/superpowers/specs/` vs `conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md`); this is a user-driven choice, not a contradiction. The superpowers review recommends 25 deferred-rebuild changes (3 HIGH, 5 MEDIUM, 17 LOW); nagent_review recommends ~10 follow-up tracks. Together they form the input set for the user's deferred agent-directive rebuild.
+
+## Cross-Reference Table
+
+| Superpowers section | Verdict | Nagent candidate | Relationship |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| §2 brainstorming | PARTIAL + INTEGRATE-PARTIAL | §3.6 ("instruction priority" — person-level discipline vs project-level) | Independent |
+| §4 test-driven-development | PARITY + INTEGRATED | §10 ("durable tests" — nagent's principle that tests are durable artifacts) | Subsumes |
+| §5 verification-before-completion | PARITY + INTEGRATED | §10 (same as above) | Subsumes |
+| §6 systematic-debugging | PARITY + INTEGRATED | §10 (anti-rationalization as evidence-based discipline) | Extends |
+| §7 subagent-driven-development | PARITY + INTEGRATED | §5 (durable-work thesis shapes subagent dispatch) | Subsumes |
+| §9 dispatching-parallel-agents | PARTIAL + INTEGRATED | §5 (project's "disposable workers" thesis) | Independent (project chose sequential) |
+| §11 requesting-code-review | PARITY + INTEGRATED | §10 (review as evidence) | Subsumes |
+| §12 finishing-a-development-branch | ARCH-DIFF + INTEGRATED | §5 (project uses master-direct instead of branch workflow) | Independent |
+| §14 writing-skills | PARTIAL + INTEGRATE-PARTIAL | §10 (durable skills vs disposable skills) | Extends (adds pressure-scenario testing) |
+| §15 MMA cluster | PARITY + INTEGRATED | §3 (durable-work + disposable workers + explicit interfaces are MMA's design principle) | Subsumes |
+| §16 Dual-Convention | GAP + INTEGRATE-PARTIAL | §10 (single-convention principle; nagent uses one file per concept) | Contradicts (project has 2 conventions) |
+
+## The 3 New Candidates the Superpowers Review Adds
+
+1. **Pressure-scenario testing for skills** (HIGH priority, per decisions.md #2). The superpowers `writing-skills` skill establishes that skills should be TDD-tested via pressure scenarios (red-green-refactor). The project's MMA skills (5 in `.agents/skills/`) and the superpowers-style skills (`brainstorming`, `writing-plans`, etc. as applied to the project) have not been tested via pressure scenarios. The deferred rebuild should add pressure-scenario tests for each MMA skill + the project's spec-writing workflow.
+
+2. **Dual-convention resolution** (HIGH priority, per decisions.md #3). The project has 41 specs/plans in `docs/superpowers/` (per the superpowers-plugin defaults) AND 50+ tracks in `conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md` (per user choice Q4 = A). The two conventions coexist; the deferred rebuild should resolve this by adopting the conductor convention everywhere and migrating the superpowers-plugin files. nagent_review doesn't address this (it focuses on the data/principle level, not the file location).
+
+3. **The "agent vs agent-tool" boundary explicit rule** (MEDIUM priority, partially in §16). The superpowers skill `using-superpowers` distinguishes between agents that are CLIs (vs APIs), and the project's `conductor/workflow.md` §0 makes the meta-tooling vs application distinction. nagent_review addresses this implicitly via §2 (the Application vs Meta-Tooling section); the superpowers review surfaces it as an explicit "explicit boundary rule" candidate for the deferred rebuild.
+
+## The 2 Nagent Candidates the Superpowers Review Contradicts
+
+1. **The "single source of truth" principle.** nagent_review §10 cites nagent's principle that there should be a single canonical place for each artifact. The superpowers review §16 finds the project has TWO canonical places for specs/plans (`docs/superpowers/` + `conductor/tracks/<id>/`). The contradiction is a project-level violation of nagent's principle; the deferred rebuild should resolve this.
+
+2. **The "YAGNI ruthlessly" principle.** nagent_review §3 cites nagent's "YAGNI ruthlessly" as a load-bearing principle. The superpowers review's HIGH-priority recommended changes (3 items) might be over-engineering for the project's actual needs. The deferred rebuild should re-evaluate the 3 HIGH items against the YAGNI lens.
+
+## Pointer to Fable Review
+
+The fable_review (`conductor/tracks/fable_review_20260617/`) analyzes Anthropic's "Claude Fable" system prompt against Manual Slop. Its 13 sections + decisions.md identify ~17 conservative changes for the deferred rebuild. The superpowers review's 25 decisions overlap with fable_review on:
+
+- **§14 of fable** ("Anti-User Watchdog Patterns"): the project rejects Fable's persona-first approach; superpowers §1 (using-superpowers) confirms this via the project being PARITY (no persona engineering).
+- **§3 of fable** ("Fable's Refusal Architecture"): the project has no equivalent; superpowers §15 (MMA cluster) shows the project's Tier 4 QA is for diagnostics, not refusal.
+- **§13 of fable** ("Genuinely Useful Patterns"): the project's evidence-based discipline; superpowers §4-§6 (TDD, verification, debugging) confirm this.
+
+For the deferred rebuild: read fable_review alongside this track's `decisions.md` to get the full picture. The three reviews (nagent + fable + superpowers) are the user's deferred-rebuild input set.

+# Track Specification: Superpowers Skills Review — Direct Utilization in Manual Slop
+
+**Status:** Spec approved 2026-06-19 (brainstorming dialogue complete; awaiting user review of written spec).
+**Initialized:** 2026-06-19
+**Owner:** Tier 1 Orchestrator (sole author; same pattern as `nagent_review_20260608` and `fable_review_20260617`)
+**Priority:** Medium-High (user-explicit; informs future conservative AI-directive improvements)
+**Type:** Research-only. No `src/` changes. No `tests/` changes. No `AGENTS.md` / `conductor/*.md` / `.opencode/agents/*.md` / `.opencode/commands/*.md` / `conductor/code_styleguides/*.md` changes. The track produces a reference document for the user's deferred rebuild (parallel to the deferred nagent-rebuild).
+**Format:** Conductor convention (per user choice Q4 = A). All artifacts at `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/`.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Overview
+
+This track produces a critical review of the **14 superpowers-plugin skills** against Manual Slop's existing AI-directive corpus and operational practice, with verdicts on which skills are already integrated, which are partially integrated (and where the gaps are), which are not integrated but should be, and which are explicitly not applicable to this project. The deliverable is a reference document the user will use **alongside `nagent_review_20260608` and `fable_review_20260617`** when the user eventually rebuilds the project's agent directives.
+
+The review covers all 14 superpowers-plugin skills, plus the project's 5 MMA-tier skills (in a single cluster section), plus the dual-convention problem (`docs/superpowers/specs/*.md` vs `conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md`) that the user explicitly flagged. The verdict taxonomy is hybrid: a **primary verdict** (nagent-style: `PARITY` / `PARTIAL` / `GAP` / `ARCH-DIFF` / `SUBSUMED`) plus a **secondary integration tag** (`INTEGRATED` / `INTEGRATE-PARTIAL` / `INTEGRATE` / `REJECT-WITH-REASON` / `N/A`).
+
+The track is **research-only**. No `src/` files are modified. No agent-directive files (`AGENTS.md`, `conductor/*.md`, `.opencode/agents/*.md`, `.opencode/commands/*.md`, `conductor/code_styleguides/*.md`) are modified. The actual conservative changes become **follow-up tracks** in the user's deferred rebuild.
+
+The user's framing (2026-06-19): "conservative changes incrementally to improve AI performance and quality standards of output. I'm not after speed, pure discipline, high grade inference, good tool use, and careful text generation." The review's lens is *AI quality* (discipline + inference + tool use + text generation), not AI speed.

+
+## 1. Current State Audit (as of commit `f0f404632`)
+
+### 1.1 Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
+
+| What | Where | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| **The project's agent-directive corpus** (the *target* the review evaluates against) | `AGENTS.md` (root, 200 lines); `conductor/*.md` (7 files, ~3,000 lines); `conductor/code_styleguides/*.md` (11 files, ~2,400 lines); `.opencode/agents/*.md` (6 files, ~1,100 lines); `.opencode/commands/*.md` (9 files, ~700 lines); `docs/*.md` excluding `superpowers/` (~16,000 lines across 40+ files including 36 `guide_*.md`) | The review reads this corpus; it does not modify it. |
+| **The superpowers plugin content** (the *subject* of the review) | `C:\Users\Ed\.cache\opencode\packages\superpowers@git+https_\github.com\obra\superpowers.git\node_modules\superpowers\skills\` | 14 skills, each with a `SKILL.md`. Read at the start of the review. |
+| **The project's 5 MMA-tier skills** (the *local comparison*) | `.agents/skills/{mma-orchestrator, mma-tier1-orchestrator, mma-tier2-tech-lead, mma-tier3-worker, mma-tier4-qa}/SKILL.md` | Mirrored at `.gemini/skills/` (legacy; left over from the Gemini CLI conductor-plugin era; should be re-evaluated in the deferred rebuild). |
+| **The chronology track** (the *immediate predecessor*) | `conductor/tracks/chronology_20260619/` | This track is `blocked_by chronology_20260619` per user directive. |
+| **The nagent_review corpus** (the *primary precedent*) | `conductor/tracks/nagent_review_20260608/` | 11 files; 4,969-line v2.3 rewrite is the template for this track's structure. The verdict taxonomy borrows `PARITY` / `PARTIAL` / `GAP` / `ARCH-DIFF` / `SUBSUMED` from this corpus. |
+| **The fable_review corpus** (the *secondary precedent*) | `conductor/tracks/fable_review_20260617/` | The cluster + synthesis pattern from this corpus is *not* used here (the superpowers review is smaller and single-author); but the "things I notice that don't fit the main sections" pattern (Section 16) is borrowed. |
+| **The intent_dsl_survey** (the *sibling reference*) | `conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/` | The user explicitly named this as a sibling. The bridge artifact (`nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md`) parallels this track's relation to nagent_review. |
+| **The dual-convention situation** (the *user-flagged finding*) | `docs/superpowers/specs/` (20 files) + `docs/superpowers/plans/` (21 files) co-exist with `conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md` + `plan.md` | The OLD convention is `conductor/tracks/<id>/` (started when Gemini CLI was actively used with the conductor plugin); the NEW convention is `docs/superpowers/specs/` + `docs/superpowers/plans/` (per superpowers-plugin defaults). Section 16 of the review analyzes the situation. |
+
+### 1.2 Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
+
+- **The synthesis report (`report.md`, 16 sections).** Does not exist. Will be authored by Tier 1 across 21 atomic commits.
+- **The 20-row comparison table (`comparison_table.md`).** Does not exist. Flat reference: one row per superpowers skill × verdict × recommendation.
+- **The decisions file (`decisions.md`, ~15-25 entries).** Does not exist. Sorted by priority; each entry has a "destination file" field so the user can batch the deferred rebuild.
+- **The nagent_takeaways bridge (`nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md`, ~150 lines).** Does not exist. Links this track's findings to `nagent_takeaways_20260608.md` and `fable_review_20260617/report.md` so the user can read all three reviews as a unified corpus.
+
+### 1.3 Pre-Existing Conditions the Track Must Respect
+
+- **Chronology is `current_phase=0` and not yet started.** The Phase 8 cross-check (165+ rows of `conductor/chronology.md`) is the dominant scope; this track cannot start until chronology ships.
+- **The project's TDD / verification-before-completion discipline** (per AGENTS.md "Critical Anti-Patterns") is *already* close to the superpowers-plugin's `test-driven-development` + `verification-before-completion` skills. The review's verdicts will reflect this (likely `PARITY` or `INTEGRATED-PARTIAL` for both).
+- **The `.opencode/agents/` and `.opencode/commands/` configurations** (Gemini CLI era) are not used by OpenCode; they're leftover from the conductor-plugin era. Section 16 will flag this.
+- **The data-oriented error handling convention** (per `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md`) is philosophically aligned with the superpowers-plugin's `systematic-debugging` skill's "root cause before fix" stance; the review surfaces this alignment.
+- **The nagent_review's deferred rebuild** (per `conductor/tracks/nagent_review_20260608/spec.md` §10) is the *next major agent-directive overhaul* the user has queued. This track's recommendations are *additional* inputs to that rebuild, not a competing one.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Goals (Priority Order)
+
+| Priority | Goal | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| **A (primary)** | The synthesis report (`report.md`, 16 sections) covers all 14 superpowers-plugin skills + the 5 MMA skills cluster + the dual-convention + anything else cross-cutting findings. | The report is the deliverable. |
+| **A (primary)** | Every section ends with a hybrid verdict block (primary nagent-style + secondary integration tag). | The verdict block is the unit of actionability. The user uses the verdicts to plan the deferred rebuild. |
+| **A (primary)** | The 20-row `comparison_table.md` is the at-a-glance reference; the `decisions.md` is the prioritized rebuild backlog. | The two artifacts are how the user consumes the review at scale. |
+| **B (analytical)** | The "anything else" findings in Section 16 are bounded (one paragraph each) and don't balloon into a full re-review. | Scope discipline; bigger findings become follow-up tracks. |
+| **B (process)** | The `nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md` bridge points to the relevant sections of `nagent_review_20260608` and `fable_review_20260617` for cross-reference. | The user wants to read all three reviews as a unified corpus. |
+| **B (process)** | The verdict block template is consistent across all 16 sections (same fields, same vocabulary). | The self-review pass (Phase 8) is the check. |
+| **C (housekeeping)** | `conductor/tracks.md` is updated to register the track in the appropriate section. | Standard per-track convention. |
+| **C (housekeeping)** | The 21 commits are atomic with git notes attached per the project's convention. | `conductor/workflow.md` §"Task Workflow" step 9.2. |

+
+## 3. Functional Requirements
+
+### 3.1 The 16 Sections of `report.md`

+| 15 | MMA Skills Cluster | All 5 project MMA skills | Cluster (300-500 LOC; 5 sub-sections, each with its own verdict block) |
+| 16 | Dual-Convention + Anything Else | Cross-cutting | Medium (200-400 LOC; one paragraph per finding) |
+
+**Total report scope:** ~2,800-4,500 LOC across 16 sections. ~280 LOC average per section.
+
+### 3.2 The Verdict Block Template (per section)
+
+Every section ends with this block (verbatim):
+
+```markdown
+**Verdict.**
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| **Primary** | `<PARITY | PARTIAL | GAP | ARCH-DIFF | SUBSUMED>` |
+| **Integration tag** | `<INTEGRATED | INTEGRATE-PARTIAL | INTEGRATE | REJECT-WITH-REASON | N/A>` |
+| **Section size** | `<brief | medium | deep-dive | cluster>` |
+| **Cross-refs** | `<nagent_review_20260608 §X.Y, fable_review_20260617 §X.Y, intent_dsl_survey_20260612 §X.Y>` (if any; "none" if N/A) |
+
+**Rationale.** [1-3 sentences.]
+
+**Recommended change.** [1 sentence if INTEGRATE or INTEGRATE-PARTIAL; 1 sentence with reason if REJECT-WITH-REASON; blank otherwise.]
+```
+
+**Verdict vocabulary (locked):**
+
+| Primary | Definition |
+|---|---|
+| `PARITY` | Manual Slop already applies this skill fully. Nothing to do. |
+| `PARTIAL` | Manual Slop applies this skill with documented gaps. The gaps are the recommended change. |
+| `GAP` | Manual Slop does not apply this skill, and should. The full skill integration is the recommended change. |
+| `ARCH-DIFF` | The skill's design doesn't fit Manual Slop's architecture. Don't force-fit; flag the architectural mismatch in the rationale. |
+| `SUBSUMED` | The skill's purpose is achieved by another Manual Slop mechanism (e.g., the project's 4-tier MMA subsumes nagent's `--description` self-describing-executables pattern). Cite the subsuming mechanism. |
+
+| Integration tag | Definition |
+|---|---|
+| `INTEGRATED` | Already in place. The user can re-affirm in the deferred rebuild without code change. |
+| `INTEGRATE-PARTIAL` | Apply the skill where the gaps are. The "Recommended change" sentence specifies which gaps. |
+| `INTEGRATE` | Add the skill (or a Manual Slop-specific adaptation of it) to the agent directives. |
+| `REJECT-WITH-REASON` | Do not integrate. The "Recommended change" sentence is a reason (not a "do nothing"). |
+| `N/A` | The skill does not apply to Manual Slop's domain (Application + Meta-Tooling). |
+
+### 3.3 The `comparison_table.md` Format
+
+20-row table. Columns:
+
+| Skill | Primary verdict | Integration tag | Section LOC | Recommended change | Cross-ref |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+
+Where:
+- **Skill** = one of: 14 superpowers-plugin skills, 5 MMA skills (one row each), or "Dual-Convention + Anything Else" (one row).
+- **Cross-ref** = the relevant sections of `nagent_review_20260608` and `fable_review_20260617` (or "none").
+
+### 3.4 The `decisions.md` Format
+
+~15-25 entries, sorted by priority (HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW). Each entry:
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| **#** | Sequential ID |
+| **Priority** | HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW |
+| **Skill** | Which superpowers skill this is for |
+| **Change** | 1-sentence description of the conservative change |
+| **Destination file** | Where the change goes in the deferred rebuild (e.g., "AGENTS.md §Critical Anti-Patterns", "new `conductor/code_styleguides/superpowers_integration.md`", "new `.agents/skills/superpowers-bridge/SKILL.md`") |
+| **Effort** | S / M / L / XL (per `conductor/workflow.md` Tier 1 rules — no day estimates) |
+| **Evidence** | `report.md §N` + verdict block quote |
+
+**Empty-cell rule:** if the "Change" cell is empty, the entry is `PARITY` / `INTEGRATED` / `N/A` and the deferred rebuild doesn't need to do anything. Empty cells = no rebuild action.
+
+### 3.5 The `nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md` Bridge
+
+~150 LOC. Format:
+
+1. **TL;DR** (1 paragraph): "This bridge connects the superpowers review's verdicts to the nagent_review's 16 future-track candidates. The two corpora overlap on X, diverge on Y, and the superpowers review adds Z new candidates."
+2. **Cross-reference table** (~10-15 rows): one row per superpowers verdict that touches an nagent candidate, columns: superpowers section | verdict | nagent candidate | relationship (subsumes / extends / contradicts / independent).
+3. **The 3 new candidates the superpowers review adds** (not in nagent_review): one paragraph each, with verdict evidence.
+4. **The 2 nagent candidates the superpowers review contradicts** (if any): one paragraph each, with verdict evidence.
+5. **Pointer to fable_review** (1 paragraph): which fable_review sections the user should read alongside which superpowers sections.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Functional Requirements
+
+### 4.1 Process Discipline
+
+- All 21 commits are atomic (per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Task Workflow" step 9).
+- Every commit has a git note attached (per step 9.2) summarizing the section.
+- All tasks are recorded in `state.toml` with commit SHAs.
+- No day / hour / minute estimates in any track artifact. T-shirt size only.
+- The 1-space indentation rule applies to `metadata.json` and `state.toml` (the only Python-shaped files). Markdown is not Python; the rule doesn't apply to prose.
+- The "no diagnostic noise in production" rule doesn't apply (no `src/` changes).
+- The "HARD BAN: `git restore` / `git checkout -- <file>` / `git reset`" rule applies per AGENTS.md.
+- No new `src/<thing>.py` files (per AGENTS.md "File Size and Naming Convention" hard rule).
+- No new `scripts/audit_*.py` files (this is research-only; the deferred rebuild is the audit-script home).
+
+### 4.2 Documentation Conventions
+
+- The synthesis report uses the 1-sentence-per-line pattern for dense content (per `conductor/product-guidelines.md` §"AI-Optimized Compact Style").
+- The synthesis report uses tables for the verdict block (per §3.2 above).
+- All file:line references in the synthesis report are stable (the report is the durable artifact; the superpowers-plugin source may evolve).
+
+### 4.3 Audit Hooks
+
+This track is research-only; no `scripts/audit_*.py` scripts are added or modified. The deferred rebuild is the appropriate place for any new audit scripts (e.g., a "dual-convention auditor" that flags any new spec.md file appearing outside `conductor/tracks/<id>/`).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Architecture Reference
+
+- **`conductor/tracks/nagent_review_20260608/`** — the primary precedent. The verdict taxonomy (`PARITY` / `PARTIAL` / `GAP` / `ARCH-DIFF` / `SUBSUMED`) is borrowed from `report.md` §0.2. The "one section per pattern" structure is borrowed from §2.
+- **`conductor/tracks/fable_review_20260617/`** — the secondary precedent. The "anything else" cross-cutting findings pattern (Section 16) is borrowed from §2 ("In dialogue with the intent DSL survey"). The cluster-sub-agent dispatch pattern is *not* used (single-author is simpler for the smaller corpus).
+- **`conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/`** — the sibling reference track. The user named this as a sibling; the bridge artifact (`nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md`) parallels this track's relation to nagent_review.
+- **`conductor/tracks/chronology_20260619/`** — the immediate predecessor. This track is `blocked_by chronology_20260619` per user directive (2026-06-19).

+
+## 6. Implementation Phases (10 phases, 21 commits)
+
+| # | Phase | Scope | Commits |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **Setup** | Create track directory. Write skeleton files (this `spec.md`, `metadata.json`, `state.toml` with `current_phase=1`, `report.md` with 16 section headers + empty bodies, `comparison_table.md` with column headers, `decisions.md` with template, `nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md` empty). Update `conductor/tracks.md` "Active" section to register the track. | 1 |
+| 2 | **Sections 1-4** (1 brief + 3 deep-dives) | `using-superpowers`, `brainstorming`, `writing-plans`, `test-driven-development`. | 4 |
+| 3 | **Sections 5-8** (3 deep-dives + 1 medium) | `verification-before-completion`, `systematic-debugging`, `subagent-driven-development`, `executing-plans`. | 4 |
+| 4 | **Sections 9-14** (2 brief + 2 medium + 2 brief) | `dispatching-parallel-agents`, `receiving-code-review`, `requesting-code-review`, `finishing-a-development-branch`, `using-git-worktrees`, `writing-skills`. | 6 |
+| 5 | **Section 15** (MMA cluster) | 5 sub-sections: `mma-orchestrator`, `mma-tier1-orchestrator`, `mma-tier2-tech-lead`, `mma-tier3-worker`, `mma-tier4-qa`. Each with verdict block. | 1 |
+| 6 | **Section 16** (cross-cutting) | Dual-convention analysis + "anything else" findings (one paragraph each). | 1 |
+| 7 | **Side artifacts** | `comparison_table.md` (20 rows), `decisions.md` (~15-25 entries), `nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md` (bridge). | 3 |
+| 8 | **Self-review** | Per the brainstorming skill: placeholder scan, internal consistency, scope check, ambiguity check. Fix inline. | 0 |
+| 9 | **User review** | User reviews `report.md` + side artifacts. Approves or iterates. | 0 |
+| 10 | **Finalize** | Update `state.toml` to `current_phase=10`. Register track as "Recently Completed" in `conductor/tracks.md`. Update `metadata.json` with final statistics (commit count, LOC, verdict distribution). | 1 |
+
+**Total commits:** 1 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = **21 atomic commits**.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Verification Criteria
+
+The track is "done" when all of the following are true:
+
+- [ ] `report.md` has all 16 sections present and non-empty.
+- [ ] Every section ends with the hybrid verdict block (per §3.2).
+- [ ] `comparison_table.md` has all 20 rows (14 superpowers + 5 MMA + 1 dual-convention).
+- [ ] `decisions.md` has 15-25 entries, sorted by priority (HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW), with empty cells for `PARITY` / `INTEGRATED` / `N/A` verdicts.
+- [ ] `nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md` exists with the 5-part bridge structure (TL;DR + cross-reference table + new candidates + contradictions + fable pointer).
+- [ ] No `src/` / `tests/` / `AGENTS.md` / `conductor/*.md` / `.opencode/agents/*.md` / `.opencode/commands/*.md` / `conductor/code_styleguides/*.md` changes (research-only).
+- [ ] Self-review pass complete (placeholder scan, internal consistency, scope check, ambiguity check).
+- [ ] User has reviewed and approved the final report + side artifacts.
+- [ ] `conductor/tracks.md` updated to register the track.
+- [ ] All 21 commits are atomic with git notes attached.
+- [ ] `state.toml` final state is `current_phase=10` and `status="active"` (until archived per the chronology track's archive convention).
+- [ ] No new `src/*.py` or `scripts/audit_*.py` files created (per AGENTS.md hard rules).
+
+---
+
+## 8. Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Impact | Likelihood | Mitigation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Section verdict inconsistency (some sections use `PARITY`, others use `GAP` for the same condition) | Medium (the `comparison_table.md` becomes hard to scan) | Medium | The verdict block template (§3.2) is fixed; the self-review pass (Phase 8) catches inconsistencies. |
+| The "anything else" findings in Section 16 balloon into a full re-review of the codebase | Medium (scope creep) | Medium | Section 16 has a hard limit: findings are *one paragraph each*. Anything bigger becomes a follow-up track and is logged in `decisions.md`. |
+| `decisions.md` becomes a wish-list rather than prioritized conservative changes | Low (the user reviews before approving) | Medium | The user-review gate (Phase 9) is the check. The decisions.md format requires a "Destination file" field so the user can spot scope-creep recommendations. |
+| `nagent_takeaways_superpowers_20260619.md` bridge is too thin | Low (it's a small artifact) | Low | The bridge is intentionally ~150 LOC; it's a pointer, not a co-equal report. |
+| The 21 commits become hard to review (user has to read 21 git notes) | Low (atomic commits are the project's convention) | Low | The commits are mechanical; the user reviews the *report* as a single document, not the commit-by-commit progression. |
+| The dual-convention section (16) argues for a position the user disagrees with | Low (user-review gate catches it) | Medium | The section presents both options (keep conductor convention vs. adopt superpowers convention vs. split by artifact type); the user picks in the deferred rebuild. |
+| Chronology track takes longer than expected and delays this track | Low (no impact on this track's quality) | High | This track is `blocked_by chronology_20260619`; the order is fixed. The chronology track is on its own clock. |
+| The superpowers plugin updates between the start of the review and the end | Low (the report is a snapshot) | Low | The report notes the plugin version / commit at the start of Phase 2 and is dated 2026-06-19. If the plugin updates mid-review, the report flags the version mismatch in the verdict rationale. |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Out of Scope (Explicit)
+
+1. **Modifying any agent-directive file in the project.** The recommendations go in `decisions.md` for the deferred rebuild.
+2. **Building any recommendation.** The deferred rebuild is its own track (per user; parallel to the nagent_review's deferred rebuild).
+3. **Reviewing every external AI corpus** (nagent, Fable, Claude, OpenAI, etc.). The superpowers plugin is the named subject; the project's MMA skills are the local comparison; everything else is referenced only when directly relevant.
+4. **Doing a "review of all 14 skills in equal depth."** Some skills (e.g., `using-superpowers`, `using-git-worktrees`) are foundational and get a brief verdict; some (e.g., `brainstorming`, `test-driven-development`, `writing-plans`) get full deep-dives because they shape every track the project runs.
+5. **Rewriting or migrating `docs/superpowers/specs/*.md` → `conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md`.** The dual-convention analysis is in Section 16; the migration (if any) is the deferred rebuild's work.
+6. **Adding new `.opencode/agents/*.md` files, new `conductor/code_styleguides/*.md` files, or new `scripts/audit_*.py` scripts.** The report may *recommend* these; the rebuild creates them.
+7. **Running automated tests.** The track is research-only; verification is the brainstorming-skill self-review plus user review.
+8. **Creating new `docs/Readme.md` or `docs/AGENTS.md` entries.** The report is at `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/`; it is not in the docs index.
+9. **The user's deferred nagent-rebuild itself.** The recommendations in `decisions.md` are *additional* inputs to that future track; the rebuild is not this track.

+# Apply HIGH-Priority Recommendations Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Execute 2 of the 3 HIGH-priority recommendations from `superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md`: (1) add "spec-first is mandatory for any creative work" to the Session Start Checklist, and (2) add pressure-scenario + rule-coverage tests for each of the 5 MMA skills.
+
+**Architecture:** Tier 1 Orchestrator sole author (no Tier 3 delegation needed; scope < 200 LOC + 1 doc edit). Read-only on `.agents/skills/mma-*/`. Read-write on `conductor/workflow.md` + new `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python (pytest), Markdown, TOML. No new dependencies.
+
+**Spec reference:** `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_apply_high_20260705/spec.md`
+
+**Blocked by:** `superpowers_review_20260619` (shipped 2026-07-05, commit `137868a1`; blocker cleared).

+
+## Phase 1: Session Start Checklist Update
+
+Focus: Add item 13 to `conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist" closing recommendation #1 from `superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md`.
+
+### Task 1: Edit Session Start Checklist
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist"
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read current Session Start Checklist**
+
+Run: `Select-String -Path "conductor/workflow.md" -Pattern "Session Start Checklist" -Context 0,15`
+Expected: see the 12-item list.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add item 13 after item 12**
+
+Insert the following text after item 12 (Check `conductor/tracks.md` for active tracks):
+
+```markdown
+13. **Spec-first is mandatory for any creative work.** Before writing any code, scaffolding any project, or taking any implementation action for a new feature, fix, or refactor, you MUST have an approved spec (`conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md`) and plan (`conductor/tracks/<id>/plan.md`) per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Planning Session Workflow". Ad-hoc edits (single-line fixes, comment updates, formatting) are exempt; anything that touches 3+ files or adds new behavior requires a spec. Per `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/report.md` §2 (PARTIAL+INTEGRATE-PARTIAL verdict for the brainstorming skill).
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the edit**
+
+Run: `Select-String -Path "conductor/workflow.md" -Pattern "Spec-first is mandatory"`
+Expected: 1 match in the Session Start Checklist section.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add "conductor/workflow.md"
+git commit -m "conductor(workflow): add Session Start Checklist item 13 (spec-first is mandatory for any creative work)"
+git notes add -m "Phase 1 Task 1. Closes recommendation #1 from superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md (HIGH-priority). The Session Start Checklist now includes item 13 making the spec-first discipline explicit, closing the partial-coverage gap identified in superpowers_review §2.4 (ad-hoc edits were bypassing the spec-first rule)." <commit_sha>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: MMA Skill Discipline Tests
+
+Focus: Author `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` with 5 test classes (one per MMA skill), each with 3+ pressure scenarios + 2+ rule-coverage assertions per the `writing-skills` Discipline-Enforcing Skills methodology. Closes recommendation #2.
+
+### Task 2: Write the test file
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read the 5 MMA skills**
+
+Run: `Get-Content ".agents/skills/mma-orchestrator/SKILL.md"`, `Get-Content ".agents/skills/mma-tier1-orchestrator/SKILL.md"`, `Get-Content ".agents/skills/mma-tier2-tech-lead/SKILL.md"`, `Get-Content ".agents/skills/mma-tier3-worker/SKILL.md"`, `Get-Content ".agents/skills/mma-tier4-qa/SKILL.md"`
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the test file**
+
+Create `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` with the following structure (5 test classes; each with 3+ pressure scenarios + 2+ rule-coverage assertions):
+
+```python
+# tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py
+"""Pressure-scenario + rule-coverage tests for the 5 MMA skills.
+
+Per the superpowers writing-skills skill (Discipline-Enforcing Skills):
+3+ combined-pressure scenarios per skill + 2+ rule-coverage assertions.
+
+Generated by superpowers_review_apply_high_20260705.

+# Track Specification: Apply HIGH-Priority Recommendations from `superpowers_review_20260619`
+
+**Status:** Spec approved 2026-07-05 (user directive "go for it on those recommendations").
+**Initialized:** 2026-07-05
+**Owner:** Tier 1 Orchestrator (sole author; meta-tooling domain; no Tier 3 delegation needed for ~150 LOC scope).
+**Priority:** Medium-High (closes 2 of 3 HIGH-priority items from `superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md`; HIGH-priority #3 already executed 2026-07-05 in commit `508baa69`).
+**Type:** Meta-tooling refactor + test infrastructure. No `src/`, `tests/` product code, or agent-directive file changes OUTSIDE of `conductor/workflow.md` (one documentation edit) and a new `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py`. The 5 MMA skills in `.agents/skills/` are read-only (verification subject, not modified).
+
+---
+
+## 0. Overview
+
+This track executes 2 of the 3 HIGH-priority recommended changes from the `superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md` backlog. The third (dual-convention cleanup; moving `docs/superpowers/` to `conductor/archive/superpowers/`) was already executed in commit `508baa69` on 2026-07-05.
+
+The track delivers:
+
+1. **Recommendation #1:** Add "spec-first is mandatory for any creative work" to the `conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist" as a new item (item 13). Closes the partial-coverage gap identified in `superpowers_review_20260619/report.md` §2.4 ("the project enforces this for new tracks but bypassed for ad-hoc edits").
+2. **Recommendation #2:** Add pressure-scenario testing for each MMA skill. The MMA skills in `.agents/skills/` (mma-orchestrator, mma-tier1-orchestrator, mma-tier2-tech-lead, mma-tier3-worker, mma-tier4-qa) are discipline-enforcing skill documents. The `writing-skills` superpowers skill (§"Testing All Skill Types" → "Discipline-Enforcing Skills") prescribes pressure-scenario testing as the verification mechanism. This track implements the test infrastructure and 3+ scenarios per skill.
+
+The deliverable is `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` (new test file) plus 1 documentation edit (`conductor/workflow.md`). The MMA skills themselves are not modified — they are the verification subjects.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Current State Audit (as of commit `508baa69`)
+
+### 1.1 Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
+
+| What | Where | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Recommendation #3: dual-convention cleanup | commit `508baa69` | 41 files (21 specs + 20 plans) moved from `docs/superpowers/` to `conductor/archive/superpowers/`; git history preserved via `git mv`. |
+| Recommendation source (decisions.md) | `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md` | 25 entries; HIGH-priority items #1, #2, #3 documented. |
+| Recommendation source (comparison_table.md) | `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/comparison_table.md` | 20-row verdict table with HIGH-priority changes cited per skill. |
+| Session Start Checklist (current) | `conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist" | 12-item list (AGENTS.md, workflow.md, tech-stack.md, product.md, product-guidelines.md, DOD styleguide, Python styleguide, type-aliases styleguide, error-handling styleguide, docs/guide_*.md, tracks.md, [architecture fallback]). |
+| MMA skill set (current) | `.agents/skills/{mma-orchestrator, mma-tier1-orchestrator, mma-tier2-tech-lead, mma-tier3-worker, mma-tier4-qa}/SKILL.md` | 5 skills; all stable since the `tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616` track. |
+| Writing-skills TDD methodology | `C:\Users\Ed\.cache\opencode\packages\superpowers@git+https_\github.com\obra\superpowers.git\node_modules\superpowers\skills\writing-skills\SKILL.md` §"Testing All Skill Types" | Discipline-Enforcing Skills require 3+ combined-pressure scenarios (time + sunk cost + exhaustion) per skill. |
+| Test infrastructure baseline | `tests/conftest.py` | Defines 7 conftest fixtures (`isolate_workspace`, `reset_paths`, `reset_ai_client`, `vlogger`, `kill_process_tree`, `mock_app`, `live_gui`). |
+
+### 1.2 Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
+
+- **`conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist" — missing spec-first item.** The 12-item list covers WHAT to read (files + styleguides + tracks) but not WHEN to spec. Adding "spec-first is mandatory for any creative work" as item 13 closes the partial-coverage gap.
+- **`tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` — does not exist.** Will be authored by Tier 1 in Phase 2. Contains rule-coverage + pressure-scenario tests for each of the 5 MMA skills. ~5 scenarios × 5 skills = ~25 test cases + shared helpers.
+- **`conductor/workflow.md` §"Conductor Token Firewalling" — no reference to MMA skill discipline tests.** Will add a one-line reference so future agents know the tests exist and can extend them.
+
+### 1.3 Pre-Existing Conditions the Track Must Respect
+
+- **`conductor/workflow.md` is heavily cross-referenced.** Per the "Read it before you touch it" rule (the project's edit-workflow discipline), the new Session Start Checklist item must be cross-referenced correctly to existing items (especially `conductor/tracks.md` and the existing 12 items).
+- **The 5 MMA skills are at `.agents/skills/`, NOT at `conductor/`.** The track creates a test file at `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` that READS the MMA skills from `.agents/skills/` and asserts on their content. The MMA skills themselves are unchanged.
+- **The `writing-skills` superpowers skill is the canonical reference for pressure-scenario testing.** This track follows the skill's "Discipline-Enforcing Skills" testing methodology: 3+ combined-pressure scenarios per skill, identify rationalizations, verify skill-with-skill compliance.
+- **No Tier 3 worker delegation needed.** The work is < 200 LOC of test code + 1 documentation edit. The Tier 1 orchestrator (current role) can author directly per the project's "Minimum viable delegation" principle (per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Task Workflow" step 4).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Goals (Priority Order)
+
+| Priority | Goal | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| **A (primary)** | `conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist" includes "spec-first is mandatory for any creative work" as item 13, cross-referenced correctly to the existing 12 items + `conductor/tracks.md` | Closes recommendation #1 from `superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md`. The user explicitly approved this. |
+| **A (primary)** | `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` exists with 5+ test cases per MMA skill (3 pressure scenarios + 2 rule-coverage assertions per skill = ~25 test cases total) | Closes recommendation #2 from `superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md`. The pressure scenarios follow the `writing-skills` skill's Discipline-Enforcing Skills testing methodology. |
+| **B (process)** | All test cases run in <5 seconds (no live_gui dependency, no MMA execution) | The tests are static-analysis of skill documents, not behavioral tests. They run as fast as `pytest tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` without fixtures. |
+| **B (process)** | `conductor/workflow.md` §"Conductor Token Firewalling" includes a one-line reference to the new test file | Future agents know the tests exist and can extend them. |
+| **C (housekeeping)** | Track closed per standard protocol: `state.toml` final, `tracks.md` row updated to Completed, git notes attached | Per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Task Workflow" steps 9-12. |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Functional Requirements
+
+### 3.1 `conductor/workflow.md` Session Start Checklist Update
+
+Add the following item to the Session Start Checklist (between the current item 12 "Check `conductor/tracks.md`" and the end-of-list separator):
+
+```markdown
+13. **Spec-first is mandatory for any creative work.** Before writing any code, scaffolding any project, or taking any implementation action for a new feature, fix, or refactor, you MUST have an approved spec (conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md) and plan (conductor/tracks/<id>/plan.md) per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Planning Session Workflow". Ad-hoc edits (single-line fixes, comment updates) are exempt; anything that touches 3+ files or adds new behavior requires a spec. Per `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/report.md` §2 (PARTIAL+INTEGRATE-PARTIAL verdict).
+```
+
+Renumber subsequent items if needed (currently the checklist ends at 12 with no item 13; this is a clean addition).
+
+### 3.2 `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` Test File
+
+The file MUST contain 5 test classes (one per MMA skill) plus shared helpers. Each test class MUST contain 3+ pressure scenarios + 2+ rule-coverage assertions per the `writing-skills` skill's Discipline-Enforcing Skills methodology.
+
+**Structure:**
+
+```python
+# tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py
+"""Pressure-scenario + rule-coverage tests for the 5 MMA skills.
+
+Per the superpowers writing-skills skill (Discipline-Enforcing Skills):
+3+ combined-pressure scenarios per skill + 2+ rule-coverage assertions.

+|---|---|---|
+| `mma-orchestrator` | Surgical Spec Protocol; Pre-Delegation Checkpoint; Persistent Tier 2 Memory; failure_count escalation; audit document references | (a) Tier 2 asked to write code without spec → must refuse; (b) Tier 3 worker failing repeatedly → must escalate; (c) Tier 4 QA error analysis → must include 20-word summary |
+| `mma-tier1-orchestrator` | Audit before specifying; Spec gaps not features; Worker-ready tasks; Root cause analysis; Reference docs | (a) Tier 1 asked to skip audit → must refuse; (b) Tier 1 spec missing root cause analysis → must reject; (c) Tier 1 spec missing reference docs → must reject |
+| `mma-tier2-tech-lead` | Atomic per-task commits; TDD enforcement; Persistent context; Anti-entropy state audit; Surgical delegation prompts | (a) Tier 2 batching 3 tasks into 1 commit → must refuse; (b) Tier 2 accepting worker code without Red phase test → must refuse; (c) Tier 2 adding new state variable without checking `__init__` → must refuse |
+| `mma-tier3-worker` | TDD mandatory; Failing test first; No architectural decisions; No unrelated file modifications; Stateless operation | (a) Tier 3 writing code before test → must refuse; (b) Tier 3 modifying file outside scope → must refuse; (c) Tier 3 making architectural decision → must refuse |
+| `mma-tier4-qa` | Stateless operation; Brief output (20-word); No fix implementation; Root cause analysis; Diagnostic tools usage | (a) Tier 4 implementing the fix → must refuse; (b) Tier 4 producing verbose output → must compress; (c) Tier 4 missing root cause → must reject |
+
+**Test framework:** pytest. Tests are static-analysis of skill documents (text-pattern assertions). No live_gui, no MMA execution, no sub-agent dispatches. Run time: <5 seconds.
+
+### 3.3 `conductor/workflow.md` Cross-Reference
+
+Add a one-line reference to `conductor/workflow.md` §"Conductor Token Firewalling" §1 (Tier 3 Worker) pointing to the new test file:
+
+```markdown
+- The 5 MMA skills (`mma-orchestrator`, `mma-tier1-orchestrator`, `mma-tier2-tech-lead`, `mma-tier3-worker`, `mma-tier4-qa`) are tested for discipline compliance via `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` (per `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md` HIGH-priority #2).
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Functional Requirements
+
+### 4.1 Process Discipline
+
+- **Atomic per-task commits** per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Task Workflow" step 9. Each Phase produces 1+ atomic commits with git notes.
+- **No day / hour / minute estimates** in any artifact (per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Tier 1 Track Initialization Rules").
+- **1-space indentation for Python** (per the project's hard rule).
+- **HARD BAN: `git restore` / `git stash*` / `git reset`** (per `AGENTS.md` §"Critical Anti-Patterns"). NOT touched.
+- **No new `src/<thing>.py` files** (per `AGENTS.md` §"File Size and Naming Convention" HARD RULE). The track does not create new `src/` files. The only new file is `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` (test files are explicitly permitted).
+- **No modifications to `.agents/skills/mma-*/SKILL.md`** — the MMA skills are verification subjects, not modifications.
+
+### 4.2 Documentation Conventions
+
+- The new test file follows the project's test conventions: pytest, `from __future__ import annotations`, type hints, descriptive class/method names.
+- The test file's docstring explains the methodology (`writing-skills` skill + superpowers_review_20260619 §15 cluster + decisions.md HIGH-priority #2).
+- All cross-references use `conductor/<path>.md#<section>` format.
+
+### 4.3 Audit Hooks
+
+This track is meta-tooling; no `scripts/audit_*.py` scripts are added. The new `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` is the verification mechanism for the MMA skills.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Architecture Reference
+
+- **`conductor/workflow.md`** — primary edit target (Session Start Checklist + Conductor Token Firewalling §1 cross-reference).
+- **`.agents/skills/{mma-orchestrator, mma-tier1-orchestrator, mma-tier2-tech-lead, mma-tier3-worker, mma-tier4-qa}/SKILL.md`** — verification subjects (read-only).
+- **`conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/{report.md, decisions.md}`** — source of the HIGH-priority recommendations; specifically §2.4 (spec-first gap), §14.4 (pressure-scenario testing gap), §15 (MMA cluster summary), decisions.md HIGH-priority #1 and #2.
+- **`C:\Users\Ed\.cache\opencode\packages\superpowers@git+https_\github.com\obra\superpowers.git\node_modules\superpowers\skills\writing-skills\SKILL.md`** — canonical reference for pressure-scenario testing methodology (Discipline-Enforcing Skills section).
+- **`tests/conftest.py`** — pytest configuration reference (the new test file does not use any of the 7 fixtures; it is pure static-analysis).
+- **`docs/guide_testing.md`** — project's testing infrastructure documentation (cross-references for future maintainers).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Implementation Phases (3 phases, ~6 atomic commits)
+
+| # | Phase | Scope | Commits |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **Session Start Checklist Update** | Edit `conductor/workflow.md` to add item 13 ("spec-first is mandatory for any creative work"). | 1 |
+| 2 | **MMA Skill Discipline Tests** | Author `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` with 5 test classes (one per MMA skill), each with 3+ pressure scenarios + 2+ rule-coverage assertions per the `writing-skills` methodology. Run pytest to verify all tests pass. | 4 (test file + 1 commit per test class, or grouped) |
+| 3 | **Cross-Reference + Finalize** | Edit `conductor/workflow.md` §"Conductor Token Firewalling" §1 to add the cross-reference. Update `tracks.md` row to Completed. Update `state.toml` to `current_phase=3`. | 2 (cross-ref + finalize) |
+
+**Total commits:** 7 (1 + 4 + 2). All commits are atomic with git notes attached per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Task Workflow" step 10.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Verification Criteria
+
+The track is "done" when all of the following are true:
+
+- [ ] `conductor/workflow.md` §"Session Start Checklist" includes item 13 "Spec-first is mandatory for any creative work" with correct cross-reference to `superpowers_review_20260619/report.md` §2.
+- [ ] `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py` exists with 5 test classes (one per MMA skill) and 3+ pressure scenarios per skill.
+- [ ] All tests in `test_mma_skill_discipline.py` pass (`uv run pytest tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py -v` exits 0).
+- [ ] Test run time is <5 seconds (no live_gui or MMA execution).
+- [ ] `conductor/workflow.md` §"Conductor Token Firewalling" §1 includes the cross-reference to `tests/test_mma_skill_discipline.py`.
+- [ ] `conductor/tracks.md` row for this track is marked Completed.
+- [ ] `state.toml` final state is `current_phase=3` and `status="active"` (until archived).
+- [ ] No `.agents/skills/mma-*/SKILL.md` modifications.
+- [ ] No `src/*.py` modifications.
+- [ ] All 7 commits are atomic with git notes attached.

+
+## 8. Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| The Session Start Checklist item 13 phrasing is too verbose / overlaps with existing items | Low | Low | Cross-reference explicitly to item 5 (`conductor/tracks.md` already says "Read `conductor/tracks.md`"). Item 13 is the FRAMING (spec-first is mandatory), not a separate read. |
+| Pressure-scenario tests are tautological (test that the skill contains the rule, which is true by construction) | Medium | Medium | The tests verify that the rule is **prominently documented** (e.g., `MUST`, `NEVER`, `Required`) and **cross-referenced** to enforcement mechanisms (`conductor/workflow.md` + styleguides). A rule that exists but is buried in prose is the actual gap; the tests catch that. |
+| Test run time exceeds 5 seconds | Low | Low | Tests are pure file IO + regex assertions. No imports of `manual_slop.*`, no fixture invocations, no subprocess. Worst case: 41 file reads × 0.001s = 0.04s. |
+| The MMA skills change after the tests are written → tests break | Low | Medium | Tests verify rule patterns that are load-bearing for the skills' purpose. If a rule is removed, the test fails (correct behavior — flag for review). If a rule is rephrased, the test fails (acceptable; update the regex). |
+| The test file imports `mma-orchestrator` and friends, creating circular dependency | Low | Medium | The test file does NOT import from `.agents/skills/`. It only reads `.agents/skills/mma-*/SKILL.md` as text. No Python import = no circular dependency. |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Out of Scope (Explicit)
+
+1. **Modifying any MMA skill.** The track reads the skills, not edits them.
+2. **Adding new MMA skills.** The track tests the existing 5.
+3. **Pressure-scenario testing for superpowers-plugin skills themselves** (per `conductor/tracks/superpowers_review_20260619/decisions.md` #25 LOW-priority). The plugin source is at `C:\Users\Ed\.cache\opencode\...` and is not part of the repo.
+4. **Adding `scripts/audit_*.py` audit scripts.** The track uses `tests/` per the existing testing infrastructure.
+5. **Adding tests for `.opencode/agents/` legacy agents.** Per `superpowers_review_20260619/report.md` §16.2 (legacy cleanup is a separate follow-up track).
+6. **Modifying `conductor/code_styleguides/` styleguides.** The tests reference the styleguides by path; they don't modify them.
