CSLib Implementation Hard Skill

Hard-mode wrapper that delegates CSLib proof implementation to cslib-implementation-hard-agent subagent. Extends skill-cslib-implementation with:

• Single-phase dispatch context (H1): reads handoff JSON to identify next incomplete phase
• Territory parameters (H7): includes territory contract when dispatched from orchestrate-hard
• Anti-analysis contract (H2): passed in delegation context for agent enforcement
• Wrap-up discipline (H9): sorry_inventory populated in orchestrator handoff

Relationship to base skill: Structurally follows skill-cslib-implementation postflight pattern. Key difference: when orchestrator_mode=true, uses per-phase dispatch (H1) rather than whole-plan dispatch. Maintenance note: changes to skill-cslib-implementation postflight should be mirrored here.

Trigger Conditions

This skill activates when:

• /implement N --hard is invoked and task type is cslib
• Not currently routing-reachable: the routing-ladder collapse retired the skill-side routing/

routing_hard manifest blocks and their resolver. This skill is pending migration onto hard_contracts (a separate, not-yet-dispatched follow-on); until then it is reachable only by direct invocation, not through /implement --hard dispatch

• Note: skill-orchestrate's own hard-mode dispatch (both effort modes, one engine — the

formerly-separate hard-mode engine is deleted) resolves and dispatches the AGENT (cslib-implementation-hard-agent) directly via command-route-agent.sh, not this SKILL file; this skill's own activation is via the paths above.

Execution Flow

Stage 1: Input Validation

task_data=$(jq -r --argjson num "$task_number" \
  '.active_projects[] | select(.project_number == $num)' \
  specs/state.json)
 
if [ -z "$task_data" ]; then
  return error "Task $task_number not found"
fi
 
task_type=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.task_type // "general"')
status=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.status')
project_name=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.project_name')
description=$(echo "$task_data" | jq -r '.description // ""')
 
if [ "$status" = "completed" ] || [ "$status" = "abandoned" ] || [ "$status" = "expanded" ]; then
  return error "Task is in terminal state [$status]"
fi

Stage 1.5: Hard-Mode Cost Note

session_flag_file="/tmp/.hard-mode-notified-${SESSION_ID:-$$}"
if [ ! -f "$session_flag_file" ]; then
  echo "[hard-mode] Hard mode active (cslib implementation). Cost: ~3-5x standard." >&2
  touch "$session_flag_file"
fi

Stage 2: Preflight Status Update

Source skill-base.sh once, then follow @.claude/context/patterns/skill-preflight-flow.md's Stage 2 (preflight status update):

source .claude/scripts/skill-base.sh
padded_num=$(printf "%03d" "$task_number")
skill_name="skill-cslib-implementation-hard"
operation="implement"
skill_preflight_update "$task_number" "$operation" "$session_id"

Stage 2b: Preflight Cache Warming

Ensure Mathlib cache is warm before delegating to the agent:

cd /home/benjamin/Projects/cslib && lake exe cache get 2>&1 || echo "Warning: cache fetch failed (non-fatal)"

This is non-blocking. Cache fetch failure does not prevent delegation. On a cache hit, this completes in ~1-2 minutes and prevents 30-45 minute Mathlib rebuilds during CI verification.

Stage 3: Create Postflight Marker

Follow @.claude/context/patterns/skill-preflight-flow.md's Stage 3 (marker creation):

skill_create_postflight_marker "$padded_num" "$project_name" "$session_id" "$skill_name" "$operation"

Stage 3a: Calculate Artifact Number

next_num=$(jq -r --argjson num "$task_number" \
  '.active_projects[] | select(.project_number == $num) | .next_artifact_number // 1' \
  specs/state.json)
 
if [ "$next_num" -le 1 ]; then
  artifact_number=1
else
  artifact_number=$((next_num - 1))
fi
 
artifact_padded=$(printf "%02d" "$artifact_number")

Stage 3b: Single-Phase Dispatch Context (H1)

When orchestrator_mode=true, determine the specific phase to dispatch:

if [ "$orchestrator_mode" = "true" ]; then
  # Read handoff JSON to find next incomplete phase
  handoff_file="specs/.orchestrator-handoff.json"
  if [ -f "$handoff_file" ]; then
    phases_completed=$(jq -r '.phases_completed // 0' "$handoff_file")
    next_phase=$((phases_completed + 1))
    echo "[hard-mode] Per-phase dispatch: targeting phase ${next_phase} (cslib)" >&2
  else
    next_phase=1
    echo "[hard-mode] No handoff found, dispatching cslib phase 1" >&2
  fi
fi

Stage 4a: Memory Retrieval (Auto)

if [ "$clean_flag" != "true" ]; then
  memory_context=$(bash .claude/scripts/memory-retrieve.sh "$description" "$task_type" "" 2>/dev/null) || memory_context=""
fi

# Literature briefing injection (independent of clean_flag)
lit_context=""
if [ "$lit_flag" = "true" ]; then
  lit_context=$(bash .claude/scripts/literature-briefing.sh 2>/dev/null) || lit_context=""
fi
 
# lit_context will be empty string if:
# - lit_flag is not "true" (skipped)
# - specs/literature/ sub-index is empty or missing
# - script exited with error

Note: lit_flag is independent of clean_flag. Using --clean --lit suppresses memory retrieval but still injects literature briefing. Literature briefing is gated solely on lit_flag == "true".

Stage 4: Prepare Delegation Context

Pass anti-analysis contract reference and territory params (when applicable):

{
  "session_id": "{session_id}",
  "delegation_depth": 1,
  "delegation_path": ["orchestrator", "implement", "skill-cslib-implementation-hard"],
  "timeout": 7200,
  "task_context": {
    "task_number": N,
    "task_name": "{project_name}",
    "description": "{description}",
    "task_type": "cslib"
  },
  "artifact_number": "{artifact_number}",
  "effort_flag": "hard",
  "model_flag": "{model_flag from command}",
  "plan_path": "{plan_path}",
  "phase_number": "{next_phase when orchestrator_mode=true, null otherwise}",
  "territory": "{territory params from orchestrate-hard dispatch, null if not provided}",
  "orchestrator_mode": "{orchestrator_mode}",
  "metadata_file_path": "specs/{NNN}_{SLUG}/.return-meta.json",
  "dispatch_seq": "{dispatch_seq from this skill's own delegation context, forwarded unchanged; omit if absent}"
}

Forward `dispatch_seq` unchanged. If this skill's own delegation context carries a dispatch_seq field, forward it into the sub-agent's delegation context above verbatim — the same pass-through treatment already given to territory. Never invent, increment, or recompute a value at this layer; only the orchestrator mints one. If absent, omit the field. See context/patterns/dispatch-report-not-termination.md.

CRITICAL: No source reading before delegation. The subagent handles all codebase exploration.

Stage 4b: Read Format Specification

format_content=$(cat .claude/context/formats/summary-format.md)

Stage 5: Invoke Subagent

Tool: Agent
Parameters:
  - subagent_type: "cslib-implementation-hard-agent"
  - prompt: [task_context, delegation_context, format specification, memory_context, lit_context]
  - description: "Execute hard-mode CSLib implementation for task {N} phase {next_phase}"

• If memory_context is non-empty, include it as a <memory-context> block after the format specification.
• If lit_context is non-empty, include it as a <literature-briefing> block after the memory context.
• Do NOT inject empty blocks when content is empty.

Include territory parameters in prompt when territory is non-null:

<territory-contract>
This is a hard-mode parallel dispatch. Territory rules are mandatory:
- Owned files: {territory.owned_files}
- Read-only references: {territory.read_only_files}
- See .claude/context/contracts/territory.md for full protocol
</territory-contract>

Stage 5b: Self-Execution Fallback

If Agent tool not used, write .return-meta.json with status: "implemented" before postflight.

Stage 5c: Continuation Loop Init

continuation_count=0
max_continuations=3
task_dir="specs/${padded_num}_${project_name}"
cat > "${task_dir}/.continuation-loop-guard" << EOF
{
  "session_id": "${session_id}",
  "continuation_count": 0,
  "max_continuations": 3
}
EOF

Postflight (ALWAYS EXECUTE)

Stage 6: Parse Subagent Return

metadata_file="specs/${padded_num}_${project_name}/.return-meta.json"
 
if [ -f "$metadata_file" ] && jq empty "$metadata_file" 2>/dev/null; then
    status=$(jq -r '.status' "$metadata_file")
    artifact_path=$(jq -r '.artifacts[0].path // ""' "$metadata_file")
    artifact_type=$(jq -r '.artifacts[0].type // ""' "$metadata_file")
    artifact_summary=$(jq -r '.artifacts[0].summary // ""' "$metadata_file")
    memory_candidates=$(jq -c '.memory_candidates // []' "$metadata_file")
    completion_summary=$(jq -r '.completion_data.completion_summary // ""' "$metadata_file")
    phases_completed=$(jq -r '.phases_completed // 0' "$metadata_file")
    phases_total=$(jq -r '.phases_total // 0' "$metadata_file")
else
    status="failed"
fi

Stage 7: Update Task Status (Postflight)

if [ "$status" = "implemented" ]; then
  bash .claude/scripts/update-task-status.sh postflight "$task_number" implement "$session_id" --phase-check=warn
fi
# On partial: keep status as "implementing" for resume

Stage 7a: Propagate Memory Candidates and Completion Summary

Same as skill-cslib-implementation Stage 7a + completion summary propagation.

Stage 8: Link Artifacts

Two-step jq pattern (Issue #1132 safety):

1. Filter out existing summary artifacts
2. Add new summary artifact

Regenerate TODO.md after linking.

Stage 8a: Lifecycle TTS Notification

if [ -f ".claude/scripts/lifecycle-notify.sh" ]; then
  bash ".claude/scripts/lifecycle-notify.sh" "$status" &
fi

Stage 9: Cleanup

Follow @.claude/context/patterns/skill-postflight-flow.md's Stage 9 (cleanup); this skill also removes .continuation-loop-guard, which is implementer-specific and not folded into skill_cleanup:

skill_cleanup "$padded_num" "$project_name"
rm -f "specs/${padded_num}_${project_name}/.continuation-loop-guard"

MUST NOT (Postflight Boundary)

After the agent returns, this skill MUST NOT:

1. Edit .lean files - All CSLib proof work is done by agent
2. Run lake build/test/lint - Verification is done by agent
3. Use lean-lsp MCP tools - Domain tools are for agent use only
4. Grep for sorries - Debt analysis is agent work
5. Write summary/reports - Artifact creation is agent work

PROHIBITION: If the subagent returned partial or failed status, MUST NOT attempt to continue,

complete, or "fill in" the subagent's work. Report partial/failed status and let user re-run

/implement --hard to resume.
