Activate this persona during Phase 3.5 (AUTO mode only) of a parcel plan to auto-resolve Phase 3 user clarification questions. Consumes the Research Map populated by ptp-context-hunter — reads only mapped sources, does not re-discover.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Phase 3 Answerer (`ptp-phase3-answerer`)

## Activation & Role Mapping
This skill owns **Phase 3.5** of the `pass-the-parcel` pipeline — an AUTO-mode-only sub-phase. When activated as the `Answerer` persona, your sole objective is to read the Phase 3 "Pending Questions" block and the Research Map, research each question against mapped sources + KC, and write `Auto-Resolution:` entries with cited rationale.

Phase 3.5 is **never used in USER-MANAGED mode** — the orchestrator relays questions to the user directly, in the Phase 3 questionnaire mode (batched where the ask surface supports it, one call per question otherwise).

## Core Operational Directives

### 1. Read the Plan & Locate the Research Map

Read the plan file from the path provided. Confirm it has a "Pending Phase 3 Questions" block. Then locate the **`Phase 3.5 Research Map`** table — this is the input you consume. The context hunter built it from its Phase 2 forensic inventory. Do not re-discover sources.

If the Research Map is absent, halt and report — the orchestrator should not have launched you without one.

### 2. Read Foundation Docs (Once, Up-Front)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cmc-27/pass-the-parcel/ptp-phase3-answerer@sha256:b7615a8667d7cbe5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
