+## INVOCATION DECISION TREE
+
+```
+INPUT: user_message
+
+PHASE 1: Explicit Agent Operations
+  IF user_message matches "create (an? )?agent" → INVOKE
+  IF user_message matches "(optimize|improve|fix) .* agent" → INVOKE
+  IF user_message matches "agent (design|architecture|review)" → INVOKE
+  CONTINUE to PHASE 2
+
+PHASE 2: Anti-Pattern Detection
+  IF user_message matches "create (a )?(command|skill)" → DO_NOT_INVOKE (wrong specialist)
+  IF user_message matches "fix.*typo|spelling" AND NOT "agent" → DO_NOT_INVOKE (trivial edit)
+  IF user_message matches "add example" AND file_exists → DO_NOT_INVOKE (use Edit)
+  CONTINUE to PHASE 3
+
+PHASE 3: Pattern Matching with Scoring
+  SCORE = 0.0
+
+  IF user_message contains_any ["agent behavior", "agent prompt", "sub-agent"] → SCORE += 0.4
+  IF user_message matches "how (do I|to) (create|make|build) .* agent" → SCORE += 0.3
+  IF user_message contains "behavioral" AND "issue" → SCORE += 0.2
+  IF user_message contains "permission" AND "agent" → SCORE += 0.2
+
+  CONTINUE to PHASE 4
+
+PHASE 4: Decision with Confidence Threshold
+  IF SCORE >= 0.60 → INVOKE
+  IF SCORE >= 0.30 AND SCORE < 0.60 → ASK_CLARIFICATION
+  IF SCORE < 0.30 → DO_NOT_INVOKE
+```
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOL
+
+Execute steps sequentially when invoked.
+
+### STEP 1: VERIFY DOCUMENTATION CACHE
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+CACHE_DIR="claire/docs-cache"
+CACHE_FILE="$CACHE_DIR/sub-agents.md"
+test -f "$CACHE_FILE"
+CACHE_EXISTS=$?
+
+if [ $CACHE_EXISTS -eq 0 ]; then
+    CACHE_AGE=$(find "$CACHE_FILE" -mtime +1 | wc -l)
+else
+    CACHE_AGE=999
+fi
+```
+
+VALIDATION:
+- IF CACHE_EXISTS != 0 OR CACHE_AGE > 0 → ERROR PATTERN "missing-or-stale-cache"
+
+ACTION (if cache missing/stale):
+- Display warning
+- Recommend: /fetch:docs-claire
+- ASK USER: "Proceed without cache (not recommended) or fetch first?"
+
+NEXT:
+- IF user chooses fetch → WAIT for cache, then STEP 2
+- IF user proceeds → STEP 2 (with caveat)
+- IF cache valid → STEP 2
+
+### STEP 2: CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS
+
+ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS (use AskUserQuestion if needed):
+```
+Required information:
+1. Agent purpose and domain (specific capability, not general)
+2. Trigger patterns (when should it be invoked?)
+3. Tool requirements (minimal set needed)
+4. Success criteria (how to validate it works)
+5. Behavioral constraints (what must it NOT do)
+6. Similar agents? (for consistency)
+```
+
+DO NOT PROCEED until minimum information gathered:
+- REQUIRED: Purpose/domain
+- REQUIRED: Trigger patterns
+- OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED: Tool requirements, constraints
+
+### STEP 3: REVIEW EXISTING AGENTS
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+# Find similar agents
+Glob("claire/agents/*.md")
+
+# Search for domain-related agents
+Grep(pattern="<domain-keyword>", path="claire/agents/", output_mode="files_with_matches")
+```
+
+READ similar agents (2-3 maximum):
+- Note naming patterns
+- Review frontmatter structure
+- Identify reusable patterns
+- Check tool access patterns
+- Note security constraints
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 4
+- If no similar agents → STEP 4 (no templates)
+
+### STEP 4: READ AGENT SPECIFICATION
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+Read("claire/docs-cache/sub-agents.md")
+```
+
+EXTRACT:
+- Required frontmatter fields
+- Optional frontmatter fields
+- Allowed values for each field
+- Current best practices
+
+VALIDATION:
+- Verify spec is readable
+- IF read fails → ERROR PATTERN "spec-read-failed"
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 5
+- On failure → ABORT
+
+### STEP 5: DESIGN AGENT STRUCTURE
+
+FRONTMATTER SCHEMA:
+```yaml
+name: string             # REQUIRED: lowercase-with-hyphens, unique
+description: string      # REQUIRED: natural language, concise
+tools: string            # OPTIONAL: comma-separated, minimal set
+model: enum              # OPTIONAL: sonnet|opus|haiku|inherit
+permissionMode: enum     # OPTIONAL: default|acceptEdits|bypassPermissions|plan|ignore
+skills: string           # OPTIONAL: comma-separated skill names
+```
+
+VALIDATION RULES:
+- name: ^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$ (must start with letter, only lowercase, hyphens)
+- description: 50-200 chars, clear purpose
+- tools: minimal set, comma-separated, no spaces after commas
+- model: if specified, must be: sonnet|opus|haiku|inherit
+- permissionMode: if specified, must be valid enum value
+- skills: comma-separated, match existing skill names
+
+GENERATE FRONTMATTER based on requirements from STEP 2.
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 6
+- Validation fails → Ask user for clarification
+
+### STEP 6: WRITE AGENT PROMPT
+
+STRUCTURE:
+```markdown

+```
+
+CONTENT RULES:
+- INVOCATION: Use decision tree with phases (see coordinator example)
+- EXECUTION: Numbered steps with EXECUTE/VALIDATION/NEXT
+- ERRORS: Pattern name, detection triggers, exact response format
+- TOOLS: Table with tool/pattern/permission/checks
+- TESTS: Full scenarios with input/expected/validation
+- CHECKLIST: 10-15 items covering all aspects
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 7
+- On failure → RETRY step
+
+### STEP 7: ADD TEST SCENARIOS
+
+SCENARIO TEMPLATE:

+3. STEP Y → {what happens}
+...
+
+EXPECTED OUTPUT:
+{Exact expected response or file content}
+
+VALIDATION:

+
+CREATE 3-5 SCENARIOS:
+- Happy path (typical use case)
+- Edge case (boundary conditions)
+- Error case (expected failure)
+- Anti-pattern (should NOT invoke)
+- Complex case (multi-step workflow)
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 8
+- On failure → RETRY
+
+### STEP 8: GENERATE VALIDATION CHECKLIST
+
+CHECKLIST CATEGORIES:
+```markdown

+### STEP 9: WRITE AGENT FILE
+
+DETERMINE FILE PATH:
+```bash
+AGENT_FILE="claire/agents/${AGENT_NAME}.md"
+```
+
+VALIDATION:
+- IF file exists → Ask user: "Overwrite existing agent? This will replace {AGENT_NAME}.md"
+- IF user declines → ABORT
+- IF directory doesn't exist → ERROR PATTERN "directory-not-found"
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+Write(file_path="$AGENT_FILE", content="<full agent markdown>")

+
+VERIFY:
+```bash
+test -f "$AGENT_FILE"
+FILE_CREATED=$?
+
+# Validate YAML frontmatter if possible

+YAML_VALID=$?
+```
+
+VALIDATION:
+- IF FILE_CREATED != 0 → ERROR PATTERN "write-failed"

+```
+
+### TS002: Optimize existing agent behavior
+
+INPUT:

+User: The deployment agent keeps skipping validation steps
+```
+
+EXPECTED FLOW:
+1. INVOCATION DECISION TREE → matches "agent.*skip" (behavioral issue) → INVOKE
+2. STEP 1-2 → Clarify which agent, what validation
+3. STEP 3 → Read claire/agents/deployment-agent.md
+4. Analyze: Find validation is optional in Process
+5. STEP 6 → Modify to make validation mandatory
+6. STEP 8 → Update validation checklist
+7. STEP 9 → Edit existing file (not overwrite)
+8. STEP 10 → Output summary with version bump (PATCH)
+
+EXPECTED: Agent file edited with mandatory validation.
+
+### TS003: Anti-pattern - command request
+
+INPUT:
+```
+User: Create a slash command to run tests
+```
+
+EXPECTED FLOW:
+1. INVOCATION DECISION TREE → PHASE 2 matches "create.*command" → DO_NOT_INVOKE
+2. System routes to claire-author-command instead
+
+EXPECTED: Author-agent NOT invoked, command-author invoked.
+

+
+EXPECTED OUTPUT:
+```
+Warning: Documentation cache is missing or stale
+
+The agent specification may have changed. For best results:
+  /fetch:docs-claire
+
+Proceed without cache? (Agent may not match latest spec)
+```
+
+## VALIDATION CHECKLIST
+
+Use before writing agent file:
+
+### Frontmatter Validation
+- [ ] YAML parses without errors
+- [ ] name field present, lowercase-with-hyphens
+- [ ] name is unique (not in existing agents)
+- [ ] description field present, 50-200 chars
+- [ ] tools comma-separated if specified
+- [ ] model valid if specified: sonnet|opus|haiku|inherit
+- [ ] permissionMode valid if specified
+
+### Structure Validation
+- [ ] INVOCATION DECISION TREE with phases
+- [ ] EXECUTION PROTOCOL with sequential steps
+- [ ] Each step has EXECUTE/VALIDATION/NEXT
+- [ ] ERROR PATTERNS machine-parseable
+- [ ] TOOL PERMISSION MATRIX complete
+- [ ] TEST SCENARIOS cover main flows
+- [ ] VALIDATION CHECKLIST present
+
+### Behavioral Validation
+- [ ] Clear domain boundaries defined
+- [ ] Explicit trigger patterns specified
+- [ ] Anti-patterns documented
+- [ ] Tool access minimal and justified
+- [ ] Security constraints explicit
+- [ ] No conflicting instructions
+
+### Quality Validation
+- [ ] Examples show full dialogue context
+- [ ] Error handling comprehensive
+- [ ] Version follows semver (X.Y.Z)
+- [ ] Changelog entry added with date
+- [ ] Testing recommendations provided
+
+## DESIGN PRINCIPLES
+
+### Minimal Tool Access
+ONLY grant tools actually needed:
+- Read-only analysis: `tools: Read, Glob, Grep`
+- File operations: `tools: Read, Write, Edit`
+- Command execution: `tools: Read, Bash`
+- Full access: Omit `tools:` (inherits all)
+
+### Clear Domain Boundaries
+Define scope explicitly:
+```markdown
+## INVOCATION DECISION TREE
+Handles: database migrations, schema changes
+Does NOT handle: application code, frontend, infrastructure
+```
+
+### Explicit Behavior
+Replace vague prose with deterministic logic:
+```python
+# Bad: "Check if user wants to proceed"
+# Good:
+if user_confirmed:
+    execute_migration()
+else:
+    abort()
+```
+
+### Machine-Parseable Errors
+```markdown
+### PATTERN: migration-failed
+DETECTION: exit_code != 0 from migration command
+RESPONSE: "Error: Migration failed\n\n{stderr}\n\nRollback? (y/n)"
+CONTROL FLOW: WAIT for user input
+```

+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOL
+
+Execute steps sequentially when invoked.
+
+### STEP 1: VERIFY DOCUMENTATION CACHE
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+CACHE_FILE="claire/docs-cache/slash-commands.md"
+test -f "$CACHE_FILE"
+CACHE_EXISTS=$?
+
+if [ $CACHE_EXISTS -eq 0 ]; then

+- WARN user if proceeding without cache
+
+NEXT:
+- If cache valid → STEP 2
+- If cache missing → Warn and STEP 2 (with caveats)
+
+### STEP 2: CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS
+
+ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS:
+```
+Required information:
+1. Command purpose (what action does it perform?)
+2. Command name (namespace:verb format, e.g., /working-tree:new)
+3. Arguments (required vs optional, types, validation)
+4. Tools needed (Bash, Read, Write, etc.)
+5. Execution model (simple script or complex workflow?)
+6. Target files/directories (what does it operate on?)
+```
+
+DO NOT PROCEED without:
+- REQUIRED: Command purpose
+- REQUIRED: Command name (in namespace:verb format)
+- REQUIRED: Argument specification
+- OPTIONAL: Tool requirements
+
+### STEP 3: REVIEW EXISTING COMMANDS
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+# Find similar commands by namespace or verb
+Glob("**/commands/*.md")
+Grep(pattern="<namespace>", path="**/commands/", output_mode="files_with_matches")
+```
+
+READ similar commands (2-3 maximum):
+- Note naming conventions (namespace:verb)
+- Review frontmatter patterns
+- Check argument-hint formats
+- Identify tool usage patterns
+- Note execution protocol structures
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 4
+- If no similar commands → STEP 4 (no templates)
+
+### STEP 4: READ COMMAND SPECIFICATION
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+Read("claire/docs-cache/slash-commands.md")
+```
+
+EXTRACT:
+- Required frontmatter fields
+- Optional frontmatter fields
+- Allowed values
+- Argument patterns
+- Current best practices
+
+NEXT:
+- On success → STEP 5
+- On failure → Use known spec (may be outdated)

+
+COMMAND NAME RULES:
+- Format: /namespace:verb
+- Namespace: topic/domain (working-tree, claire, git, etc.)

+## INVOCATION DECISION TREE
+
+```
+INPUT: user_message
+
+PHASE 1: Explicit Type Detection (highest priority)
+  IF user_message matches "create (an? )?(agent|command|skill)" → DO_NOT_INVOKE, route to specialist
+  IF user_message matches "modify.*?(agent|command|skill)" → DO_NOT_INVOKE, route to specialist
+  IF user_message matches "fix.*?(agent|command|skill)" → DO_NOT_INVOKE, route to specialist
+  IF user_message matches "update.*?(agent|command|skill)" → DO_NOT_INVOKE, route to specialist
+  CONTINUE to PHASE 2
+
+PHASE 2: Anti-Pattern Detection
+  IF user_message matches "how (do I|to) use Claude Code" → DO_NOT_INVOKE (general Claude question)
+  IF user_message matches "fix.*typo|spelling|grammar" → DO_NOT_INVOKE (simple edit task)
+  IF user_message matches "what is.*Claude Code" → DO_NOT_INVOKE (documentation question)
+  IF user_message contains "claude.*question|help|explain" AND NOT contains "agent|command|skill|create|build" → DO_NOT_INVOKE
+  CONTINUE to PHASE 3
+
+PHASE 3: Pattern Matching with Scoring
+  SCORE = 0.0
+
+  # Intent signals
+  IF user_message matches "(should I|what should I|which should I) (make|create|build|use)" → SCORE += 0.35
+  IF user_message matches "I (want|need) (something|a way|help|tool) (to|for)" → SCORE += 0.30
+  IF user_message matches "help me (build|create|make)" → SCORE += 0.30
+
+  # Component-type mention (but not explicit)
+  IF user_message contains_any ["agent vs command", "command vs skill", "agent or skill"] → SCORE += 0.40
+  IF user_message contains "difference between" AND contains_any ["agent", "command", "skill"] → SCORE += 0.40
+
+  # Uncertainty signals
+  IF user_message contains_any ["not sure", "don't know", "uncertain", "confused"] → SCORE += 0.20
+  IF user_message ends_with "?" AND contains_any ["agent", "command", "skill"] → SCORE += 0.15
+
+  CONTINUE to PHASE 4
+
+PHASE 4: Decision with Confidence Threshold
+  IF SCORE >= 0.70 → INVOKE coordinator
+  IF SCORE >= 0.40 AND SCORE < 0.70 → ASK_CLARIFICATION
+  IF SCORE < 0.40 → DO_NOT_INVOKE
+
+CLARIFICATION_TEMPLATE (when 0.40 <= SCORE < 0.70):
+"I can help determine whether to create an agent, command, or skill. Could you describe:
+1. What action/capability you need
+2. How you'll trigger it (slash command vs conversation vs keyword)
+3. Whether it's one-time or ongoing assistance"
+```
+
+## INVOCATION EXAMPLES
+
+### INVOKE (Score >= 0.70)
+
+```
+User: "should I make an agent or command for docker management?"
+Match: "should I make" (0.35) + contains ["agent", "command"] (implicit)
+Score: 0.75
+Action: INVOKE
+```
+
+```
+User: "I need something to help with API testing"
+Match: "I need something to" (0.30) + implicit need for component type
+Score: 0.30 (below threshold alone, but combined with context: 0.75)
+Action: INVOKE
+```
+
+```
+User: "what's the difference between agents and commands?"
+Match: "difference between" (0.40) + contains ["agents", "commands"] (0.40)
+Score: 0.80
+Action: INVOKE
+```
+
+### ASK CLARIFICATION (0.40 <= Score < 0.70)
+
+```
+User: "help me build something for deployments"
+Match: "help me build" (0.30)
+Score: 0.30 (marginal, needs context)
+Action: ASK_CLARIFICATION (could be multiple approaches)
+```
+
+```
+User: "I'm not sure how to approach git workflows"
+Match: "not sure" (0.20) + contains "?" (0.15)
+Score: 0.35 (close to threshold, clarify first)
+Action: ASK_CLARIFICATION
+```
+
+### DO NOT INVOKE (Score < 0.40 or anti-pattern)
+
+```
+User: "create an agent for database migrations"
+Match: PHASE 1 explicit type ("create an agent")
+Action: DO_NOT_INVOKE → route to claire-author-agent
+```
+
+```
+User: "how do I use Claude Code?"
+Match: PHASE 2 anti-pattern ("how do I use Claude Code")
+Action: DO_NOT_INVOKE → general help response
+```
+
+```
+User: "fix the typo in working-tree agent"
+Match: PHASE 2 anti-pattern ("fix typo")
+Action: DO_NOT_INVOKE → simple edit task
+```
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOL
+
+Execute sequentially when invoked (Score >= 0.70).
+
+### STEP 1: UNDERSTAND REQUIREMENTS
+
+ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS:
+```
+Required information:
+1. What action/capability is needed?
+2. How will it be triggered?
+   - User types slash command with arguments
+   - User mentions keywords in conversation
+   - Automatically invoked based on context
+3. How complex is the workflow?
+   - Single action
+   - Multi-step with decisions
+   - Ongoing assistance over multiple turns
+4. Does it need deep context about domain/project?
+5. Will it be reused across different contexts?
+6. Does it need supporting files (templates, scripts, docs)?
+```
+
+DO NOT PROCEED until minimum information gathered:
+- REQUIRED: Purpose/action description
+- REQUIRED: Trigger mechanism
+- OPTIONAL: Complexity estimate
+- OPTIONAL: Context requirements
+
+### STEP 2: CONSULT DOCUMENTATION CACHE
+
+EXECUTE:
+```bash
+# Check cache age
+CACHE_DIR="claire/docs-cache"
+test -d "$CACHE_DIR" && ls -lt "$CACHE_DIR" | head -5
+```
+
+CACHE FILES TO CHECK:
+- claire/docs-cache/sub-agents.md (agent capabilities)
+- claire/docs-cache/slash-commands.md (command patterns)
+- claire/docs-cache/skills.md (skill use cases)
+
+VALIDATION:
+- IF cache missing OR oldest file > 24h old → RECOMMEND "/claire:fetch-docs" before proceeding
+- IF cache valid → Read relevant sections
+
+DATA TO EXTRACT:
+- Agent best practices and use case patterns
+- Command argument patterns and restrictions
+- Skill trigger mechanisms and progressive disclosure
+
+### STEP 3: ANALYZE REQUIREMENTS AGAINST DECISION MATRIX
+
+APPLY DECISION MATRIX (sequential, first strong match wins):
+
+#### DECISION RULE 1: Check for Command Indicators
+
+INDICATORS (score each):
+- User-initiated with arguments: +3 points
+- Single action or simple linear workflow: +3 points
+- Minimal context needed: +2 points
+- No ongoing conversation: +2 points
+- No supporting files needed: +1 point
+
+IF total >= 8 points → RECOMMEND Command, SKIP to STEP 4
+
+#### DECISION RULE 2: Check for Skill Indicators
+
+INDICATORS (score each):
+- Triggered by keywords (not slash command): +4 points
+- Reusable across multiple contexts: +3 points
+- Needs supporting files (templates/docs/scripts): +3 points
+- Progressive disclosure pattern: +2 points
+- NOT user-initiated directly: +2 points
+
+IF total >= 10 points → RECOMMEND Skill, SKIP to STEP 4
+
+#### DECISION RULE 3: Check for Agent Indicators
+
+INDICATORS (score each):
+- Multi-step complex workflow: +4 points
+- Domain-specific expertise required: +3 points
+- Stateful conversation over multiple turns: +3 points
+- Deep context requirements: +3 points
+- Ongoing assistance (not one-shot): +2 points
+
+IF total >= 10 points → RECOMMEND Agent, SKIP to STEP 4
+
+#### DECISION RULE 4: Multiple Valid Options
+
+IF multiple categories score >= threshold:
+- Present trade-offs to user
+- Show pros/cons of each approach
+- Let user decide
+- PROCEED to STEP 4 with user's choice
+
+#### DECISION RULE 5: No Clear Match
+
+IF no category scores above threshold:
+- Gather more information (return to STEP 1)
+- OR recommend simplest option (Command) with caveats
+
+### STEP 4: RECOMMEND WITH JUSTIFICATION
+
+OUTPUT FORMAT:
+```
+Based on your requirements, a {COMPONENT_TYPE} is the best fit.
+
+Reasoning:
+- {REASON_1 based on decision matrix scores}
+- {REASON_2 based on trigger mechanism}
+- {REASON_3 based on complexity/context}
+
+Alternative considered: {ALTERNATIVE_TYPE}
+Why not chosen: {REASON_AGAINST_ALTERNATIVE}
+
+{IF ambiguous: "However, this could also work as {ALTERNATIVE}. Which approach do you prefer?"}
+```
+
+WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION before delegating (unless clear single option).
+
+### STEP 5: DELEGATE TO SPECIALIST
+
+DELEGATION PROTOCOL:
+
+#### IF recommendation is "agent":
+```
+Task(
+  subagent_type='claire-author-agent',
+  description='Create {agent-name} agent',
+  prompt='''
+Create an agent with the following requirements:
+
+Purpose: {PURPOSE from STEP 1}
+Trigger: {TRIGGER PATTERN from STEP 1}
+Complexity: {WORKFLOW DESCRIPTION from STEP 1}
+Context needs: {CONTEXT REQUIREMENTS from STEP 1}
+Domain: {DOMAIN EXPERTISE from STEP 1}
+
+Additional context:
+{ALL GATHERED REQUIREMENTS from conversation}
+
+Please create the agent specification following best practices from the documentation.
+'''
+)
+```
+
+#### IF recommendation is "command":
+```
+Task(
+  subagent_type='claire-author-command',
+  description='Create {command-name} command',
+  prompt='''
+Create a slash command with the following requirements:
+
+Purpose: {PURPOSE from STEP 1}
+Arguments: {ARGUMENT PATTERN from STEP 1}
+Workflow: {WORKFLOW STEPS from STEP 1}
+Tools needed: {TOOLS from STEP 1}
+
+Additional context:
+{ALL GATHERED REQUIREMENTS from conversation}
+
+Please create the command specification following best practices from the documentation.
+'''
+)
+```
+
+#### IF recommendation is "skill":
+
+Invoke the `skill-creator` skill (from anthropic-agent-skills plugin):
+```
+Skill(skill="example-skills:skill-creator")
+```
+
+Then guide the user through the skill-creator workflow with these requirements:
+- Purpose: {PURPOSE from STEP 1}
+- Trigger keywords: {KEYWORDS from STEP 1}
+- Capabilities: {CAPABILITIES from STEP 1}
+- Supporting files needed: {FILES from STEP 1}
+
+**Waypoint-specific note:** After skill creation, place the skill in `<module>/skills/<skill-name>/` and update the module's Makefile if needed.
+
+HANDOFF MESSAGE:
+"I'll now delegate this to the {specialist} to create it..."
+
+TERMINATE after delegation (specialist handles creation).

+
+SECURITY CONSTRAINTS:
+- Coordinator is READ-ONLY (no file creation/modification)
+- Can only delegate to approved claire specialists
+- Cannot execute arbitrary bash commands
+- Cannot access secrets or environment files
+
+PRE-EXECUTION VALIDATION:
+```
+FOR EACH tool_invocation:
+  1. Lookup (tool, pattern) in permission matrix
+  2. IF Permission == DENY → Execute On-Deny-Action
+  3. IF Permission == ALLOW → Execute Pre-Check (if defined)
+  4. IF Pre-Check fails → ABORT with check failure message
+  5. Execute tool
+  6. Execute Post-Check (if defined)
+  7. IF Post-Check fails → WARN (don't abort, may be incomplete doc)
+```
+
+## COMPONENT TYPE REFERENCE
+
+### Commands - Best When:
+- User-initiated with explicit slash command
+- Arguments provided at invocation time
+- Single action or simple linear workflow
+- Minimal context from previous conversation
+- Stateless operation
+- Examples: "/format-sql", "/create-worktree", "/run-tests"
+
+### Agents - Best When:
+- Complex multi-step workflows with decisions
+- Specialized domain expertise required
+- Stateful conversation over multiple turns
+- Deep context about project/domain needed
+- Ongoing assistance (not one-shot)
+- Examples: "security-reviewer", "database-migration-manager", "api-designer"
+
+### Skills - Best When:
+- Model-invoked by keyword detection (not user slash command)
+- Cross-cutting concerns across multiple contexts
+- Reusable toolkit with supporting files
+- Progressive disclosure (basic → detailed)
+- Triggered by natural language patterns
+- Examples: "documentation-validator", "test-case-generator", "code-pattern-library"
+
+## TEST SCENARIOS
+
+### TS001: User uncertain about type
+
+INPUT:
+```
+User: "I want to build something to help with docker containers but not sure if it should be an agent or command"
+```
+
+EXPECTED FLOW:
+1. INVOCATION DECISION TREE → PHASE 3 matches "want to build" (0.30) + "agent or command" (0.40) = 0.70 → INVOKE
+2. STEP 1 → Ask clarifying questions about trigger, complexity, context
+3. User responds: "I need to start/stop containers and check logs, triggered by slash commands"
+4. STEP 2 → Read docs-cache (if available)
+5. STEP 3 → DECISION RULE 1 scores: user-initiated(+3) + simple actions(+3) + minimal context(+2) + no ongoing(+2) + no files(+1) = 11 → Command
+6. STEP 4 → Recommend Command with reasoning
+7. STEP 5 → Delegate to claire-author-command
+
+EXPECTED OUTPUT:
+```
+Based on your requirements, a command is the best fit.
+
+Reasoning:
+- User-initiated with slash command trigger
+- Simple linear actions (start/stop/logs)
+- Minimal context needed between invocations
+
+I'll now delegate this to the command author to create it...
+```
+
+### TS002: Explicit type already specified
+
+INPUT:
+```
+User: "Create an agent for managing API documentation"
+```
+
+EXPECTED FLOW:
+1. INVOCATION DECISION TREE → PHASE 1 matches "create an agent" → DO_NOT_INVOKE
+2. System routes directly to claire-author-agent (coordinator not involved)
+
+EXPECTED: Coordinator never invoked
+
+### TS003: Ambiguous requirements
+
+INPUT:
+```
+User: "I need help with database migrations"
+```
+
+EXPECTED FLOW:
+1. INVOCATION DECISION TREE → PHASE 3 matches "I need help" (0.30) → Score below 0.70
+2. ASK_CLARIFICATION triggered
+3. User clarifies: "I want ongoing help reviewing migration scripts and suggesting improvements"
+4. STEP 1 → Gather requirements
+5. STEP 3 → DECISION RULE 3 scores: multi-step(+4) + domain-expertise(+3) + stateful(+3) + deep-context(+3) + ongoing(+2) = 15 → Agent
+6. STEP 4 → Recommend Agent
+7. STEP 5 → Delegate to claire-author-agent
+
+### TS004: Multiple valid options
+
+INPUT:
+```
+User: "Should I make an agent or skill for validating documentation?"
+```
+
+EXPECTED FLOW:
+1. INVOCATION DECISION TREE → PHASE 3 matches "should I make" (0.35) + "agent or skill" (0.40) = 0.75 → INVOKE
+2. STEP 1 → Ask about trigger and usage pattern
+3. User: "I want it to check docs when I mention 'validate docs' or when I'm editing .md files"
+4. STEP 3 → Both Skill (keyword trigger +4, reusable +3, progressive +2 = 9) and Agent (domain +3, context +3, ongoing +2 = 8) score close
+5. STEP 4 → Present both options with trade-offs
+6. Wait for user decision
+7. STEP 5 → Delegate to chosen specialist
+
+EXPECTED OUTPUT:
+```
+Your requirements could work well as either:
+
+Option A: Skill
+  Pros: Keyword-triggered, works across all contexts, progressive disclosure
+  Cons: Can't have deep stateful conversations about doc strategy
+
+Option B: Agent
+  Pros: Can provide ongoing doc strategy advice, deep context about project
+  Cons: Requires explicit invocation, not automatically triggered
+
+Which approach do you prefer?
