Skills take the hq- prefix: they are HQ process workflows, not mesh workflows, and HQ is company-scoped now. hq-new-research, hq-graduate, hq-new-issue, hq-diagnose, hq-amend-design, hq-handoff, hq-sync-constitution, hq-status. Forward-looking prose becomes Novox Mesh or simply the mesh — the root README, AGENTS.md, the 00-META README, the mission's module example, and one to-be document that addressed 'someone working on HAL'. Three categories deliberately keep HAL, per ADR 0027: The monorepo is still called hal on the forge. repos.md, every code: field and every located-in: field name a repository that exists under that name, and renaming them in prose would make them false. The as-is layer and the research that measured it describe the system that runs, and that system is called HAL. 124 modules, 9 daemons, a dead containerised node — those are observations, not intentions. Records 0001-0026 are immutable. A record says what was decided when it was decided, and no record is edited for a name. Also repoints ADR 0022's link at the renamed skill — a path fix, which the immutability rule permits, not a change of meaning.

hq-handoff
Hands a settled design to a code repository. Authoritative playbook:
00-META/process/04-build-handoff.md.
Steps
- Confirm it is settled.
status: designed, and every claim traceable to a record in02-DECISIONS/. An open question in the text is a reason to runhq-new-research, not to build around it. - Name the owner. Set
code:from00-META/repos.md. If the repository does not exist yet, add it torepos.mdin the same change. - Read the as-is counterpart. What is being replaced must be written down in
03-DESIGN/00-as-is/before it is changed. Building against an undocumented as-is is how shipped behaviour gets lost. - Flip the status to
in-progress,updated:today. - Build in the code repository. HQ never carries implementation.
- On completion, run
hq-graduate's "when something ships" section.
Non-negotiable
- Every merge is a human checkpoint, without exception.
- Never open a pull request unprompted. A permissions list saying it is allowed is not a request.
- Work in an isolated worktree, never a shared checkout.
- Never push to the main branch.
