chore(setup): initialize project with CLAUDE.md, MCP config, and conductor commands

- CLAUDE.md: full project guidance (architecture, MMA workflow, beads task lifecycle,
  code conventions, policy rules, commit guidelines)
- .mcp.json: manual-slop-tools MCP server registration (26+ dev tools)
- .claude/settings.json: Claude Code project settings
- .claude/settings.local.json: MCP server permissions
- .claude/commands/: 9 conductor slash commands (conductor-setup, conductor-status,
  conductor-implement, conductor-new-track, conductor-verify, mma-tier1 through tier4)

+description: Phase completion verification — tests, coverage, checkpoint commit
+---
+
+# /conductor-verify
+
+Execute phase completion verification and checkpointing.
+Run when a logical group of related tasks are all done.
+
+## Protocol
+
+### 1. Announce
+Tell the user: "Phase complete. Running verification and checkpointing protocol."
+
+### 2. Identify Phase Scope
+```powershell
+cd C:\projects\rook
+git log --oneline -20   # find the previous checkpoint commit
+git diff --name-only {previous_checkpoint_sha} HEAD
+```
+For each changed code file (exclude `.json`, `.md`, `.toml`, `.ini`):
+- Verify a corresponding test file exists in `tests/`
+- If missing: create one (analyze existing test style first via `py_get_code_outline` on existing tests)
+
+### 3. Run Automated Tests
+
+**Announce the exact command before running:**
+> "Running test suite. Command: `uv run pytest --cov=src/rook --cov-report=term-missing -x`"
+
+```powershell
+cd C:\projects\rook
+uv run pytest --cov=src/rook --cov-report=term-missing -x 2>&1 | Tee-Object logs/phase_verify.log
+```
+
+**If tests fail with large output — delegate to Tier 4 QA:**
+```powershell
+cd C:\projects\manual_slop
+uv run python scripts\claude_mma_exec.py --role tier4-qa "Analyze test failures. @C:\projects\rook\logs\phase_verify.log"
+```
+Maximum 2 fix attempts. If still failing: **STOP**, report to user, await guidance.
+
+### 4. Present Results and WAIT
+
+Display test results, coverage, any failures.
+
+**PAUSE HERE.** Do NOT proceed without explicit user confirmation.
+
+### 5. Create Checkpoint Commit
+
+After user confirms:
+```powershell
+cd C:\projects\rook
+git add -A
+git commit -m "conductor(checkpoint): end of phase {name}"
+$sha = git log -1 --format="%H"
+git notes add -m "Phase Verification`nTests: {pass/fail count}`nCoverage: {pct}%`nConfirmed by: user" $sha
+```
+
+### 6. Announce Completion
+Tell the user the phase is complete with a summary.
+
+## Context Reset
+After checkpointing, treat the checkpoint commit as ground truth.
+Prior conversational context about implementation details can be dropped.
+The checkpoint commit and git notes preserve the full audit trail.
