+# POM — Produce Magnum Opus
+
+Use this skill whenever `/pom`, a POM project, or a fiction-production stage is active.
+
+## Prime law
+- Canonical project files beat chat and memory.
+- OMP native systems remain native: todo tracks live work; task runs agents; IRC coordinates; memory stores reusable lessons; approvals guard side effects; sessions preserve conversation.
+- POM owns orchestration, story canon, artifact contracts, stage gates, and delivery truth.
+- Never invent tool use, files, images, counts, citations, validation, ZIP tests, or completion.
+- Read only the references needed for the active stage.

+## Stage loop
+1. Read canonical state and relevant files.
+2. Initialize the native todo blueprint.
+3. Select the stage tool/model profile.
+4. Fan out independent specialist work once.
+5. Integrate and create canonical artifacts.
+6. Update only changed canon and ledgers.
+7. Run deterministic checks plus independent review.
+8. Call `pom_stage pass` only on PASS; otherwise block explicitly.
+9. Render real status, files, risks, and one next action.

+IDENTITY
+- OMP-native production kernel, idea → validated package, stages 0–8.
+- OMP executes models/tools/task/IRC/todo/sessions/approvals/compaction.
+- POM governs contracts/evidence/blockers/prompts/canon/artifacts/Git/validation/delivery.
+
+TRUTH
+- System + explicit user requirements > canonical files > manifest/ledgers > live OMP execution > vault projection > memory.
+- Never fake tool use, files, citations, images, counts, hashes, checks, ZIP tests, or completion.
+- Partial stays partial. Missing stays disclosed. Blocked stays blocked.
+
+STAGE GATE
+- Earlier stages complete.
+- Target stage actively running.
+- Required artifacts substantive and structurally valid.
+- Every acceptance criterion has project-relative evidence paths.
+- No unresolved blocker.
+- Deterministic report PASS.
+- Then, and only then, call `pom_stage` action `pass`.
+
+DELEGATION
+- One widest safe native task batch per independent wave.
+- Each specialist has objective, owned files, and acceptance conditions.
+- IRC vocabulary: CLAIM / QUERY / ANSWER / ALERT / HANDOFF / DONE.
+- IRC is terse; durable analysis goes into files or Hive ledger.
+- Main agent integrates and owns canon decisions.
+- Optional Swarm YAML for unattended fan-out/fan-in execution.
+
+PROMPTS
+- immutable POM law → selected personality → stage/autopilot fragment → executable stage contract → project override.
+- Hash and record every active fragment.
+
+ARTIFACTS
+- Canonical realpath containment; reject traversal and symlink escape.
+- Non-empty regular files only.
+- Preserve category/stage/version/status/bytes/SHA-256/rights/source/notes.
+- Artifact registration advances semantic patch version; canon categories also advance canon version.
+
+VISUALS
+- Status = peripheral truth.
+- HUD = persistent production state.
+- Working message = current semantic phase.
+- Cards = durable validation/Hive/milestone events.
+- Overlay = deliberate operator control.
+- Reward evidence, resolved blockers, clean handoffs, stage PASS, and verified archives—not activity.
+
+DELIVERY
+- Fresh archive.
+- Safe member names, no duplicates/encryption/unsupported methods.
+- Parse central directory; decompress every member; verify size + CRC-32.
+- Hash archive; write external verification report.
+- Disclose warnings and omissions.

+## Discovery and reading
+- read: files, directories, archives, databases, documents, internal URIs, static URLs; parallelize independent reads
+- glob: bounded path discovery
+- grep: bounded regex search
+- ast_grep: syntax-shape search
+- inspect_image: evidence-grounded image analysis
+- web_search: current public discovery; primary sources first
+- browser: authenticated, interactive, or JavaScript-only pages
+
+## Changing and computing
+- edit: grounded hash-anchored edits to existing files; reread after every edit
+- write: new files or intentional complete replacement
+- lsp: definitions, references, rename, diagnostics, code actions; mandatory for symbol-aware work
+- ast_edit: structural codemods when text edits are unsafe
+- eval: persistent multi-step computation, schemas, pipelines, local:// context, agent DAGs
+- bash: one real binary or short fact pipeline; never a shell program
+- debug: breakpoints, stepping, threads, variables, runtime state
+
+## Orchestration
+- task: widest safe specialist fan-out; one shared context, complete assignments
+- job: intervention only; results arrive automatically
+- irc: coordinate existing peers and avoid duplicate work
+- todo: exact phased execution state; every required item explicit
+- ask: only material user tradeoffs after exhausting sources
+- resolve: explicit pending-action approval
+- learn/manage_skill: reusable lessons and repeatable procedures only
+- generate_image: complete brief, generation/edit, then mandatory inspection
+
+## Profiles
+- creative: read/search, edit/write, eval, task/IRC/todo, image
+- research: read/web/browser, inspection, eval, task/IRC/todo
+- draft: read/edit/write, eval, task/IRC/todo, image
+- audit: read/search, AST/LSP, eval, task/IRC/todo
+- delivery: read/write/edit, short binaries/eval, checksums, ZIP, resolve
+
+## Law
+- native tool first; MCP only for trusted external capabilities
+- never use browser when read can retrieve static content
+- never use text rename when LSP can preserve symbol semantics
+- never poll agents unless all useful parent work is blocked
+- never duplicate native todo, task, IRC, memory, approval, compaction, or session truth inside POM

+# POM terminal UI
+
+## Surface hierarchy
+
+- status line: stage, progress, gate/blocker, Hive, approval, retry
+- HUD widget: persistent contract, evidence, blockers, active work
+- working message: exact current semantic phase
+- custom cards: validation, Hive, milestones, important events
+- tool renderers: compact call, partial update, pass/fail result, expanded evidence
+- `/pom` overlay: run, Hive, validate, evidence, vault, export, themes, settings
+- thinking lane: optional stage/execution annotation beneath visible thinking
+
+## Density
+
+- cinematic: three-line HUD, stage track, richer cards and coordination cues
+- rich: two-line evidence HUD and detailed cards
+- compact: one-line HUD and terse cards
+- minimal: status plus critical cards; no persistent widget
+
+## Motion
+
+- off: static semantic symbols
+- subtle: two-frame work pulse
+- full: four-frame activity cue and stronger live coordination feedback
+
+## Law
+
+Use OMP theme tokens and visual-width utilities. Never emit raw ANSI control sequences. Keep custom TUI optional: headless/RPC/ACP operation must still work through textual tools and canonical files.
