--- name: just-define description: 'Goal-based Manifest builder. Encodes shared understanding into a verifiable Manifest — Deliverables, Acceptance Criteria, Global Invariants — deciding for itself how to interview. Use when the user asks to just define it, spec it lean, or make a manifest with minimal process.' argument-hint: '[task] [ to amend]' user-invocable: true --- Encode the conversation's shared understanding as a Manifest at `~/.manifest-dev/manifests/manifest-.md` (create the dir); how you interview is yours. No shared understanding in the transcript → invoke manifest-dev:just-figure-out first. A manifest path in the arguments means amend: targeted changes only, IDs stable, no renumbering. The Manifest is the acceptance contract — what the user accepts as "I'd ship the outcome of executing this" — and /do or /just-do executes it later with none of this conversation's context, so everything binding lives in the gate texts themselves. That gives a floor that isn't ceremony: - Follow the schema in this skill's own `references/SCHEMA.md` exactly — it is what the executor parses. - Every Acceptance Criterion and Global Invariant is one text — title, body, optional why — stating what done means, the evidence to inspect, and the threshold between PASS and FAIL, precise enough that two evaluations read the same thing. - Every gate declares "Judgment gate." or "Deterministic gate." — never inferred; an executor handed an undeclared kind is broken by it. - Anything whose violation would be unsafe or irreversible becomes a Global Invariant — never Process Guidance, never dropped for resisting verification. - Every manifest carries the ceiling invariant from the schema, verbatim — the one bound on the other side. - A criterion nothing can check is sharpened or dropped with a recorded assumption; only gates bind. Before finishing, give a plain-language digest — the pain, the plan, what gets built, the guardrails — and wait for a yes unless the caller is /just-auto or an amendment. Then emit the handoff (`` is the absolute path you wrote): ```text Manifest complete: To execute: /just-do For unattended execution, invoke /just-do as the execution entrypoint. /just-do reads the manifest and owns the manifest-completion contract: it sets that completion contract when the active harness exposes a goal-setting or continuation capability, or prints the manual copy-paste contract when not. just-define does not set a separate /just-do goal. ```
