Scribe's record kinds get reached for interchangeably, and the moment of
choice is the only moment a correction is cheap. Rule 119 puts product
guidance in the instruction surfaces, so the docstring is where this
belongs — but a docstring that only documents parameters answers "how do I
call this" and leaves "should I be calling this at all" unasked.
The gap was lopsided. create_rule and start_planning already carried real
disambiguators; create_note — far and away the highest-volume surface —
carried none at all. The guidance sat in the rarest tool and was missing
from the most common one.
Each surface now opens with ONE deciding question in its own terms rather
than a pasted block:
create_note WHAT ELSE COULD HOLD THIS? note is right when nothing
is owed and nothing enforces
create_task IS ANYTHING ACTUALLY OWED? nothing owed -> note;
an arc -> start_planning
create_snippet SHAPE, OR ADVICE? a snippet is code with a
LOCATION
create_process FOLLOWED, OR READ? applies uninvoked -> rule
create_project_rule now points at the entity check too; it had only ever
covered rule-vs-rule scope.
The guard asserts STRUCTURE, never wording: each surface must name at least
two siblings. Pinning phrasing would make every improvement a test failure,
and a test that punishes editing is a test that gets deleted. Its second
half asserts the Args: block survives — the first check is satisfiable by
turning a docstring into an essay about the other tools, which would be a
worse contract than the one being fixed.
The guard caught two gaps on its first run, one of them its own: "design
system" is hard-wrapped across a line break in create_rule, so matching the
raw docstring reported it absent. _doc() now flattens whitespace. It also
caught start_planning naming only one alternative, which was true and is
now fixed.
Deliberately NOT built: an intent-router tool. It has a bootstrapping
problem — it is itself a tool that must be reached for — and MCP clients
already list every tool's description. Recorded in #3123; build it only if
wrong-surface reaches survive this.

FOLLOWED, OR READ? A process is invoked deliberately and worked through
|
|
start to finish. If it should apply whether or not anyone invokes it, it
|
|
is a rule (create_rule) — that is the whole difference between a procedure
|
|
and a standing instruction. If it is knowledge to consult rather than
|
|
steps to execute, it is a note (create_note).
|
|
|
|
AUTHOR IT AS A SHAPE, NOT A SCRIPT. A process's value is the accumulated
|
|
procedure — the steps, the taxonomy, the quality bar, the failure modes
|
|
worth guarding. It must not force anything the invoking conversation
|
|
didn't choose: no embedded approach mandates, no pre-granted approvals
|
|
(a fan-out opt-in, a permission to act), no assumptions that overwrite
|
|
the live request's intent. The conversation that invokes it supplies the
|
|
parameters and always wins where they disagree; write clarify steps to
|
|
seed from what the operator already said, not to re-ask it.
|
|
|
|
Args:
|
|
title: Process name, e.g. "Drift Audit" (required).
|
|
body: The full prompt to run later (markdown). Required.
|

tags: Plain-string tags, no # prefix.
|
|
force: Bypass the near-duplicate gate. By default, if a title- or
|
|
meaning-similar process already exists, creation is BLOCKED and the
|
|
existing one's id is returned so you update it instead. Set true
|
|
only for a genuinely distinct procedure.
|
|
|
|
Returns the created process, OR — when a near-duplicate is found and force
|
|
is false — {"duplicate": true, "existing_id": ..., "message": ...} (nothing
|
|
created).
|
|
|
|
The gate matters more here than for other kinds: every process becomes a
|

skill file that auto-surfaces on the operator's machine, so two near-identical

procedures don't merely bloat the corpus — they compete to be followed, and

which one wins is decided by a slug.
