feat(skill): one generic skill by default, carrying a working method and an answer form

Browse source 
The operator built a 2313-concept bundle from one project's own documentation,
asked it a question in his own words, and judged the result unusable. The
generated skill was an audit contract: all its discipline sat on the accounting
-- markings, denominators, budget lines, source pointers -- and none of it on
understanding the question, searching again, or writing one coherent answer.
Two sentences actively forbade the second of those.

**The two forbidding sentences are gone and their replacements are tested from
both sides.** "Do not go looking for context the pre-pass deliberately
withheld" read as "one run per question", and no wording of the operator's
question put the right document inside a single run's cut -- so a rule against
a second run was a rule against finding it at all. "Not something to retry with
a narrower question" generalised a budget-refusal case into the same ban.
SS 2.2 of the contract said the first of them, so the contract moved with the
skill rather than being left to disagree with it: a second pre-pass run with
other terms, and a fetch of a concept the payload NAMED, are reachable; SS 9's
two real boundaries -- directory enumeration, the verdict layer -- are not.

**Two new sections, and the checker requires them.** `## Working method`: read
the bundle's map, put the question into the bundle's own words, split a broad
question into 2-4 sub-questions, search per sub-question, read what lay just
outside the cut and search again with its words, same method across several
bundles, then assemble ONE answer ordered by sub-question, saying which source
holds and what is not covered. `## Answer form`: the questioner's language,
plain prose, no `below_k`, no digests, no budget lines, no denominators; short
textbook-style references (document + section, plus bundle where several were
read); and the audit trail written only when the questioner asks for it or
into a document that travels without the skill. `REQUIRED_SECTIONS` follows the
template and the contract's new SS 2.5 and SS 2.6 -- never the other way round.

**The generic skill becomes what `okf skill` and `okf project` write.** A
per-bundle skill's numbers go stale the moment its bundle is rebuilt, one copy
per consuming project, and a project with two bundles installs two
near-identical skills; the generic form carries no bundle's numbers and names
`okf card` for them. `--for-bundle` is the opt-in for the instantiated copy,
which still refuses out loud on a stale pairing -- safe to keep, not enough to
keep default. `rule_bundle_identity` learned to tell a generic skill from an
unfilled template by the frontmatter name the generator writes, so the template
still fails for the opposite reason: it declares no identity because it is
unfinished.

`okf skill <bundle>` writes a consumption skill for **that** bundle, with its
identity and its numbers measured into the text — which is what makes the file
stale the moment the bundle is rebuilt. `okf skill --generic` writes one
installable skill for **any** bundle instead:
**`okf skill --out <dir>` writes one installable skill for ANY bundle. That is

The generic skill carries no bundle's id, no ref and no count; it tells its
reader to run `okf card <bundle>` first. The card is **derived on every run and
never written into the bundle**, so there is no second artefact that can
disagree with the bytes beside it.

rather than a wrong answer; that is why it is no longer the default.

explicitly names as reachable. **The payload names the best-ranked withheld
concepts (§ 5.3), and those are reachable**: running the pre-pass again with
other terms, or fetching a named concept, is another measurement under the
same rules, not a way around the first one. What stays forbidden is § 9's
two: enumerating a directory the profile does not declare derived, and
reaching the verdict layer.
This clause said "context the pre-pass withheld was withheld deliberately"
until 2026-09-20, which a skill reasonably read as "one run per question".
Measured on a 2313-concept bundle, the first run's cut is one ranking's
answer to one wording, and no wording of the operator's question put the
right document inside the cut — so a rule against a second run is a rule
against finding it at all. The `withheld` block exists in the shape it does
so that a second run can be aimed rather than guessed.
3. The skill MUST declare the cut in its output rather than reporting as though
it had read the bundle. An undeclared cut is a denominator failure (§ 5)
dressed as an answer.
4. A conformant skill MAY be handed a payload by any transport. The transport is
not part of this contract.
### 2.5 Working method
A conformant skill MUST state a **working method** — how a question becomes
searches — and MUST NOT state one that stops at a single run.
1. It MUST tell its reader to read the bundle's own map before searching, and
to put the question into the bundle's terms. A bundle in one language and a
question in another share few tokens, and a pre-pass matching tokens then
ranks on almost nothing.
2. It MUST tell its reader to split a broad question into sub-questions and to
run the pre-pass per sub-question.
3. It MUST say that several runs are permitted and expected, and MUST NOT
contain a sentence forbidding a second run with other terms. Both the
`withheld` near misses (§ 5.3) and § 2.2 exist so that the second run can
be aimed.
4. Where more than one bundle is in scope, it MUST tell its reader to run the
same sub-questions against each and to keep each piece of material
attributed to its bundle.
5. It MUST tell its reader to assemble ONE answer — ordered by sub-question,
stating which source holds where sources disagree and with which version,
and saying what the bundle does not cover.
### 2.6 Answer form
A conformant skill MUST state an **answer form**, and that form MUST put the
answer before the audit trail.
1. The answer is written in the questioner's language, whatever language the
bundle is in, in ordinary prose.
2. The instrument's vocabulary stays out of it: withholding-rule names,
digests, budget lines and the word *denominator* describe how the answer
was produced, not what it says.
3. Source references are short and of the kind a textbook gives — the document
and the section, plus the bundle where more than one was read.
4. The audit trail of § 3, § 5 and § 7 — the markings, the three counts, the
ref, the rules the declined concepts fell under — is written when the
questioner asks for it, or into an artefact that will travel without the
skill (§ 8's document mode), and otherwise MAY be omitted from the answer.
The obligation to HOLD a marking and a source for every claim is unchanged:
what this clause governs is what the reader is made to read.

- **The cut is one run's answer, not the bundle's.** `withheld` states the

name. What you may not do is the two things § 9 forbids — enumerate the
directory, or reach the verdict layer.
- Know which you did. A claim resting on a concept a first run withheld is
still sourced; a claim resting on a concept you never delivered is not.
- Declare the cut in your output when the questioner asked for it. Reporting
as though you had read the whole bundle, when you were handed a bounded
window, is the denominator failure below with extra steps.
## Working method
Five steps, in this order. The pre-pass is step three, not step one: a question
asked in the wrong words reaches the wrong concepts however good the ranking is.
**1. Understand the question first.** Read the bundle's map before you search
it — what it holds, how many concepts, what the documents are called. Then put
the question into the bundle's own words: a bundle written in one language and
a question asked in another share few tokens, and the pre-pass matches tokens.
Take the terms from the bundle's own titles, not from your vocabulary.
**2. Split a broad question into 2–4 sub-questions.** One search for a question
with four parts returns the best eight concepts for the average of the four,
which is often the best eight for none of them. Write the sub-questions down;
they are also the shape of the answer.
**3. Search per sub-question. Several searches are normal, and searching again
is allowed and expected.** Run the pre-pass once per sub-question:
```sh
okf consume <BUNDLE_ROOT> --question "one sub-question" --out /tmp/p1.json
```
After each run, read two things: what came back, and what lay just outside the
cut. `withheld.nearest` names the best-ranked concepts that missed, with their
titles — if one of them is what you were after, that is a signal about the
WORDS, not a closed door. Search again with the words that concept uses, or
ask for it by name. There is no limit on runs and no penalty for a run that
found nothing; a run that found nothing is a measurement, and its denominator
is worth carrying.
**4. Several bundles, same method.** When more than one bundle could answer,
run the same sub-questions against each, and keep track of which bundle each
piece of material came from. A claim is attributed to its bundle as well as its
concept — two bundles can hold the same sentence with different authority.
**5. Put it together.** Order the material by sub-question, not by rank. Where
sources disagree, decide what holds NOW: the newest documentation or the
highest version wins, and say which version you read. Say plainly what the
bundle or bundles do not cover. Then write ONE coherent answer — not a list of
excerpts with the assembly left to the reader.
## Answer form
Write for the person who asked: in the questioner's language, whatever
language the bundle is in, and in ordinary prose.
- **Plain words.** The instrument's vocabulary stays out of the answer:
not `below_k`, not `withheld`, not a `sha256`, not a budget line, not the
word denominator. Those are how the answer was produced, not what it says.
- **Short source references, as a textbook gives them**: the document and the
section, and the bundle too when more than one was read — "R761 § 84.3" and
not a 64-character digest. A reader who wants the file can be told where it
is; a reader who wants the answer should not have to step over the plumbing
to reach it.
- **Say what is not covered** in one sentence, in the same prose. A gap stated
plainly is worth more than a table of rules nobody reads.
- **The audit trail is a choice.** The markings, the three counts, the ref and
the rules a concept was dropped under go to a file, or to the end of the

**The argument for a generator never rested on conformance, and still does
not.** It was made on what the skill has to state:
§ 5's denominators, § 7.6's breaking point and § 6.4's conditional-field list
are all per-bundle numbers. A generic skill can either leave them as holes -- the
template's own definition of unfinished -- or carry another corpus's numbers,
which is worse, because a stated cost that is false for this bundle is a
measurement failure and not merely a gap. Instantiating is what makes them true.
And with several bundles connected at once, a generic skill has nothing to
select on: each generated skill carries the bundle's id in its own name.
not.** It was made on what the skill has to state: SS 5's denominators, the
payload-cost section and SS 6.4's conditional-field list are all per-bundle
numbers, and a generic skill can either leave them as holes -- the template's
own definition of unfinished -- or carry another corpus's numbers, which is
worse.
**AND IT LOST 2026-09-20, TO A THIRD OPTION AND AN OPERATOR'S MEASUREMENT.**
The third option is `okf card`: the per-bundle numbers are DERIVED from the
bundle in under a second, so the generic skill neither invents them nor states
another bundle's -- it names the command that produces them. The measurement
is that the per-bundle form's cost is not hypothetical: it goes stale the
moment its bundle is rebuilt, one copy per consuming project, and a project
holding two bundles installs two near-identical skills (measured: identical on
281 of 313 and 311 lines). So `okf skill --out <dir>` writes the GENERIC form,
`okf project` installs it under one name that carries no bundle id, and
`--for-bundle` is the opt-in for the instantiated copy. That copy still
refuses out loud (`bundle_mismatch`) rather than answering from stale numbers,
which is what makes it safe to keep and not enough to keep it default.

same skill bytes.
