description: Restate the model-forward stance — go with Claude, not against it; skills are scaffolding; the durable core is goal-driven execution plus guardrails.

# /model-forward

Load the `model-forward` skill and apply its stance to the current session.

1. Restate the two invariants: goal-driven execution (anchor on the highest stated goal) and self-discipline guardrails (the 7 Laws).
2. Audit the current task for places where custom scaffolding fights a native Claude Code capability; list each with the native alternative.
3. Apply the decision rules from the skill before adding any new skill, hook, or wrapper to the workflow.
4. Close with one line naming which native capability was preferred, which scaffold (if any) was proposed for retirement, and that the operator decides.
