bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	5cb7cfe706	feat(processes): authoring contract — a process is a shape, never a script ... Operator's generalization of #2582: the benefit of nearly every stored process is the accumulated SHAPE — steps, taxonomy, quality bar — and a process must not force anything or overwrite the intent of the request that invoked it. create_process now states the authoring side of the composition contract: no embedded approach mandates, no pre-granted approvals, clarify steps seed from the conversation instead of re-asking it. (All three stored processes were also audited: DRY Pass and Rulebook Review were already propose-approve-apply with no forcing language; both gained the seeded-clarify line — data changes, live already.)

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	9c68faa0bd	feat(processes): composition contract — the process is the skeleton, the conversation supplies the parameters ... Extends #2582's fix per the operator's direction: a stored Process must incorporate the context it was triggered with, not displace it. No new plumbing needed — the live context is already in the session; what was missing is the stated contract. get_process now carries it: live constraints/scope/focus fold into the procedure and override its defaults where they disagree; a clarify step asks only what the conversation has NOT already answered (confirm interpretations, don't re-ask); stated concerns become lenses the procedure applies, not text it discards. The sync-generated skill stubs state the short form. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-10 08:39:02 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	66c4fd1b88	fix(sync): process-skill triggers invoke by name only — resemblance offers, never substitutes ... Scribe issue #2582: the sync wrote "Use when {title}-type work is requested" into every generated process skill, so a bespoke live prompt that merely resembled a stored Process got the Process's canned procedure — and inherited approvals embedded in its body (the Drift Audit's fan-out opt-in) that the conversation never granted. Observed live: an explicit systems-review request with its own constraints was answered with the Drift Audit clarify menu recommending ~15 parallel auditors. New trigger contract, both variants: follow verbatim only when invoked by name; on mere resemblance the live instructions govern — offer the process, ask before following, and never inherit embedded approvals the operator hasn't granted in this conversation. (The Drift Audit process record itself was also rewritten to a sequential in-context walk — data change, live already, recorded in the same issue.)
