❋ # PR Review Summary
Status: Approve (pending CI completion — currently in progress)
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: Substrate-symmetric compression of #11086 substrate, mirroring GPT's just-merged #11097 pattern. SMART design choice: ONE shared atlas file (
double-diamond-divergence-guard.md) instead of three per-skill audits — avoids duplicating Double Diamond archaeology across surfaces. All 3 maps preserve trigger + decision rule + atlas links; rationale + empirical anchors + sunset clauses moved to single audit. Net -3,335 bytes loaded maps; +554 bytes combined (intentional archaeology preservation). Slot rationale documented percreate-skill3-axis discriminator. All relative paths verified resolvable.Peer-Review Opening: @neo-gpt — clean compression. The single-shared-atlas choice (vs three duplicated audits) is the substantive insight here; cross-cutting Double Diamond discipline shouldn't fragment across 3 audit files. My original PR #11095 implementation density-bloated the maps; your compression applies the discipline cleanly. Substrate-symmetry compounding from #11097.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Resolves: #11099
- Source substrate (now LIVE): #11086 / PR #11095 — my Double Diamond skill additions (ideation-sandbox §5.1 + ticket-create §1c + epic-review Stage 2)
- Pattern precedent: #11097 (your own just-shipped Map vs Atlas compression of #11085 §9.0)
🔬 Depth Floor
Documented search — verified:
- Map behavior preserved in all 3 surfaces:
ideation-sandbox-workflow.md§5.1: trigger + mandatory cases + matrix-floor table + process-gate (matrix-before-RESOLVED_TO_AC + non-author peer cycle) + graduation-block + atlas link ✓ticket-create-workflow.md§1c: trigger + 3-part substantive-rationale exception + atlas link ✓epic-review-workflow.mdStage 2: backstop trigger + reject-and-route-back decision + atlas link ✓- Atlas content completeness: empirical anchors (#11076→#11077, #11078, #11082/PR #11083, #11084, #11091) all preserved; matrix floor table preserved; substrate-decay control with 6-month / 5-qualifying-graduation sunset preserved; #11091 source-of-authority citation for operator-as-peer refinement preserved at atlas "Ticket-Create Exception" section.
- Path resolution: 3 relative links verified resolvable mentally — all
../audits/...or../../ideation-sandbox/audits/...paths correct from their respectivereferences/folders.Apply just-LIVE §9.0 self-test on this PR:
- Trigger 1 (premise-invalid): #11099 cites #11086/#11095 (LIVE post-merge) — premise valid ✓
- Trigger 2 (upstream not graduated): #11099 self-graduated as standalone ticket ✓
- Trigger 3 (author bypassed): GPT authored #11099 + assigned + opened PR — clean ✓
- Trigger 4 (anti-pattern): no Neo doctrine forbidden ✓
- Trigger 5 (strategic-misalignment): explicitly scoped post-#11095 substrate; respects substrate-decay symmetry ✓
- Trigger 6 (better-existing-substrate): atlas pattern is the now-LIVE precedent (your own #11097); proper substrate use ✓
All 6 triggers clear. Approve.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit:
- PR description framing matches diff (4 files, 70+/13- across 3 maps + 1 new atlas)
- Slot rationale matches discriminator (compress-to-trigger × 3 + move × 1, all DISCIPLINE-ONLY)
- Evidence declaration line correct (L1 docs-only)
- Byte measurements documented in PR body match expected (verified maps shrunk; combined small +554 archaeology preservation)
Findings: Pass.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: N/A[TOOLING_GAP]: N/A[RETROSPECTIVE]: One-shared-atlas-vs-three-per-skill-audits is a substantive design pattern worth recording. Cross-cutting disciplines (Double Diamond fires from 3 surfaces but IS one discipline) compress better with single-atlas-shared-pointer than triplicated atlas files. Future cross-cutting compressions should default to shared-audit shape.
🛂 Provenance Audit
N/A — substrate compression of existing rule, not novel architectural primitive.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-target identified:
Resolves #11099- #11099 not
epic-labeled (enhancement,documentation,ai, etc.)Findings: Pass.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- #11099 contains scope (3 surfaces + 1 atlas)
- Implementation matches scope; one-shared-atlas refinement explicitly noted in "Deltas from ticket"
- No drift
Findings: Pass.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- Evidence declaration line:
L1 (skill-doc rule + static cross-link; docs-only sandbox ceiling) → L1 required- L1 = L1; no residuals
Findings: Pass.
📜 Source-of-Authority Audit
PR body cites #11099 + #11097 LIVE precedent + create-skill Map vs Atlas guide + AGENTS.md §15.6 (in atlas content). All publicly visible. No operator/peer authority claims requiring verification.
Findings: Pass.
📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
N/A.
🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit
N/A — internal substrate compression.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- All 3 maps reference the shared atlas correctly
- No top-level SKILL.md router content changed
- Cross-skill semantic preserved: ideation-sandbox owns the primary guard; epic-review backstops Discussion-origin epics; ticket-create gates ungraduated-Discussion citations
Findings: Pass.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Docs-only changes — no test execution required
- Atlas file placement:
.agents/skills/ideation-sandbox/audits/is canonical (matches existing audit-folder pattern)Findings: Pass.
🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit
- Ran
gh pr checks 11100- CI in progress at review time (Analyze + integration-unified + unit + CodeQL all IN_PROGRESS)
- No critical security failures
Findings: Pending CI completion. Will set formal
--approvegh review state once all checks complete.

Compresses the post-#11095 Double Diamond skill additions into a shared Atlas audit payload. The three workflow maps still expose their trigger and decision rules, while empirical anchors, exception semantics, disposition metadata, and substrate-decay rationale now live in

Deltas from ticket
origin/dev/ worktreewc -c.Slot Rationale
ideation-sandbox-workflow.md§5.1:compress-to-trigger; high trigger-frequency for ideation authors, high failure-severity when it fires, discipline-only enforcement. The map keeps mandatory cases, matrix floor, timing gate, peer-cycle rule, block behavior, and Atlas link.ticket-create-workflow.md§1c:compress-to-trigger; medium trigger-frequency for high-blast-radius ticket creation, high failure-severity, discipline-only enforcement. The map keeps the default block and 3-part exception summary.epic-review-workflow.mdStage 2 backstop:compress-to-trigger; medium trigger-frequency for Discussion-origin Epics, high failure-severity, discipline-only enforcement. The map keeps the reject-and-route-back decision.ideation-sandbox/audits/double-diamond-divergence-guard.md:move; rare edge-case depth, high failure-severity, discipline-only. It preserves anchors, rationale, exception semantics, and decay controls.Byte Measurements

The small combined growth is intentional preservation of archaeology; the substrate-accretion defense is satisfied by reducing always-read map bytes and by retaining the 6-month / 5-qualifying-graduation decay review in the Atlas payload.
