You are testing the setup-phase contract of the migrated command /create:feature-catalog.

# RUNTIME RULES
- Inline Codex execution. Do NOT call SpawnAgent / collab / Task / sub-agent.
- Gate 3 answer: D) Skip spec-folder creation. Stdin is closed.
- Do NOT load the paired YAML workflow. Stop at the end of section zero setup resolution.
- Do NOT write any files outside /tmp/. Read-only inspection of the command markdown is allowed.

# YOUR TASK

1. Read .opencode/commands/create/feature-catalog.md section zero (UNIFIED SETUP PHASE or equivalent).
2. Verify this command's section zero cites .opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md (the shared three-tier auto contract).
3. SIMULATE a dispatch of /create:feature-catalog:auto with the following PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS in the prompt body:

```
PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
  catalog_name: throwaway-catalog
  operation: create
  spec_folder: new
  execution_mode: AUTONOMOUS
```

4. Walk through Tier-1 logic step by step. Determine which Tier the resolution lands in.
5. Report:
   - Citation present: yes/no with line number
   - Section zero Tier reached: 1 / 2 / 3
   - Setup question emitted: yes / no (CRITICAL — yes under Tier 1 means migration failed)
   - Resolved field map: list each setup field with its final value
   - STATUS value: PASSED / BLOCKED / fail-fast error
   - Verdict: PASS or PARTIAL or FAIL
     - PASS = Tier 1 resolved without question
     - PARTIAL = Tier 2 reached logically
     - FAIL = legacy Q-block emitted or hang

# OUTPUT
One markdown message with the 6 report fields. Do not edit files. Do not call SpawnAgent.

# 🔒 UNIFIED SETUP PHASE

**STATUS: ☐ BLOCKED**

This command uses one consolidated setup prompt. Do not split setup questions.

### `:auto` Setup Resolution

Setup contract: see `.opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md`.

Under `execution_mode = AUTONOMOUS` (from the `:auto` suffix), follow the three-tier flow:

1. **Tier 1 — Resolve confidently** (contract §1): parse `$ARGUMENTS` flags + `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block (§2) + the Default Resolution Table below (§3). When every required field is resolved, persist to `{spec_path}/create-feature-catalog-config.json` when a spec is linked, otherwise `/tmp/create-feature-catalog-config.json` (shape: `skillName`, `operation`, `sourceStrategy`, `skillPath`, `catalogRoot`, `executionMode: "auto"`, `specChoice`, `specPath`, `memoryChoice`), bind runtime YAML placeholders, set `STATUS: PASSED`, load `.opencode/commands/create/assets/create_feature_catalog_auto.yaml`. End §0.

2. **Tier 2 — Targeted ask** (contract §1): when 1-2 required fields are genuinely ambiguous AND no default exists, emit ONE narrow question per ambiguous field. Command-specific Tier-2-eligible fields (per the Default Resolution Table below): `source_strategy`, `spec_choice`. **Ordering rule**: ask `source_strategy` before `spec_choice` when both are ambiguous — the source strategy can narrow whether a prior spec needs loading.

3. **Tier 3 — Fail fast** (contract §4): emit the named-missing-inputs error format with `/create:feature-catalog:auto` as the command name. Exit non-zero. Do not load YAML.

`:confirm` path stays unchanged — see the consolidated setup prompt section below.

### PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS Schema (for `:auto` non-interactive dispatch)

The dispatched prompt body may contain one structured marker block. Parse it before applying defaults. Grammar: see `auto_mode_contract.md` §2.

```yaml
PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
  skill_name: system-spec-kit  # hyphen-case skill folder name
  operation: update  # create | update
  source_strategy: hybrid  # existing-playbook | manual-list | hybrid
  skill_path: .opencode/skills/  # directory path
  catalog_root: .opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/feature_catalog  # derived path
  execution_mode: AUTONOMOUS  # from :auto suffix
  spec_choice: skip  # existing | new | update-related | skip | phase-folder
  spec_path: ""  # explicit path when applicable
  memory_choice: skip  # latest | recent3 | skip | n/a
```

Rules: see `auto_mode_contract.md` §2 (unspecified fields fall back to default; marker fields take precedence over `$ARGUMENTS` flags; unknown fields warn; malformed lines parse-error).

### Default Resolution Table

| Field | Required | Resolves Via | Default | Tier-2 Candidate |
|-------|----------|--------------|---------|------------------|
| `skill_name` | Y | `$ARGUMENTS` first positional token, or marker `skill_name` | none | N |
| `operation` | Y | `$ARGUMENTS` second positional token, or marker `operation` | none | N |
| `source_strategy` | Y | marker `source_strategy`, or targeted source strategy choice | none | Y |
| `skill_path` | Y | flag `--path`, marker `skill_path`, or default | `.opencode/skills/` | N |
| `catalog_root` | Y | marker `catalog_root`, or derive from `skill_path` + `skill_name` | derived | N |
| `execution_mode` | Y | attached suffix `:auto` or marker `execution_mode` | `AUTONOMOUS` under `:auto` | N |
| `spec_choice` | Y | marker `spec_choice`, or targeted choice among existing/new/update-related/skip/phase-folder | none | Y |
| `spec_path` | Conditional | marker `spec_path`, or derived from `spec_choice` | none | N |
| `memory_choice` | N | marker `memory_choice`, prior-work detection, or default | `skip` when no prior continuity records exist | N |

```text
SETUP EXECUTION LOGIC:

1) Parse invocation shape
   - /create:feature-catalog <skill-name> [create|update] [--path <dir>] [:auto|:confirm]

2) Parse mode suffix
   - :auto detected    -> execution_mode = AUTONOMOUS (omit mode question)
   - :confirm detected -> execution_mode = INTERACTIVE (omit mode question)
   - no suffix         -> execution_mode = ASK

3) Parse positional tokens
   - token 1: skill_name (if present)
   - token 2: operation (if present)

4) Parse flags
   - --path <dir>

5) Determine which setup questions are required
   - Ask skill name only when missing
   - Ask operation only when missing or invalid
   - Ask source strategy always
   - Ask spec folder choice always
   - Ask memory loading only when existing spec is selected and memory files exist
   - Ask execution mode only when no suffix is present

6) Ask ONE consolidated setup prompt with only missing items

   Q0. Skill Name (if missing)
       - Required format: hyphen-case folder name

   Q1. Operation (if missing)
       A) create
       B) update

   Q2. Source Strategy (required)
       A) Derive from existing manual testing playbook when present
       B) Build from a manual feature list or operator-provided inventory
       C) Hybrid: derive what exists, then patch gaps manually

   Q3. Spec Folder (required)
       A) Existing
       B) New
       C) Update related
       D) Skip
       E) Phase folder

   Q4. Prior Work Context (when the existing spec has prior continuity records)
       A) Load most recent spec-doc record
       B) Load up to 3 most recent spec-doc records
       C) Skip

   Q5. Execution Mode (if no suffix)
       A) Interactive (:confirm)
       B) Autonomous (:auto)

7) Wait for user response and parse fields

8) Normalize setup outputs
   - skill_name
   - operation
   - source_strategy
   - skill_path (from --path or default .opencode/skills/)
   - catalog_root = [skill_path]/[skill_name]/feature_catalog
   - execution_mode
   - spec_choice
   - spec_path
   - memory_choice

HARD STOPS:
- Do not infer missing operation from context
- Do not split setup across multiple prompts
- Do not continue with missing required fields
```

Phase outputs:
- `skill_name`
- `operation`
- `source_strategy`
- `skill_path`
- `catalog_root`
- `execution_mode`
- `spec_choice`
- `spec_path`
- `memory_choice`

# PHASE STATUS VERIFICATION (BLOCKING)

Verify all required values are set before YAML execution:

| Field | Required | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- |
| create_agent_verified | Yes | `true` |
| skill_name | Yes | explicit, hyphen-case |
| operation | Yes | `create` or `update` |
| source_strategy | Yes | one of A/B/C normalized choices |
| skill_path | Yes | default `.opencode/skills/` if omitted |
| catalog_root | Yes | derived from skill name and path |
| execution_mode | Yes | `:auto` or `:confirm` |
| spec_choice | Yes | one of A/B/C/D/E |
| spec_path | Conditional | required for spec choices A/B/C/E |

Proceed only when all required fields validate.

The citation is present in section zero. One subtlety in the supplied pre-bound block: it uses `catalog_name` and `spec_folder`, while this command’s declared schema expects `skill_name` and `spec_choice`; I’m checking the shared contract before deciding whether those are aliases or unknown fields.

title: Auto Mode Contract Reference
description: Canonical three-tier `:auto` setup-resolution contract shared by every user-invokable `/command:*:auto` surface. Defines tier semantics (resolve → targeted ask → fail-fast), `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` marker grammar, default-resolution table format, fail-fast error template, `:confirm` invariance, and verification protocol.

# Auto Mode Contract Reference

This reference module defines the single canonical `:auto` setup-resolution contract used by every user-invokable `/command:*:auto` surface in spec-kit (`/spec_kit:*`, `/create:*`, `/improve:*`). Each command's §0 cites this contract and supplies only its own per-field Default Resolution Table + `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` field list. The contract semantics, marker grammar, error format, and verification protocol live here.

Origin: shipped in `.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/103-spec-kit-auto-mode-noninteractive-contract/001-deep-review-three-tier-setup/` (deep-review prototype) and generalized in `.../002-auto-mode-contract-generalization-to-all-commands/` (12-command rollout).

Related memory: `feedback_auto_mode_ask_only_when_ambiguous.md`, `feedback_codex_spawnagent_allowlist.md`, `feedback_gate3_no_tmp_exemption.md`.

---

## §1. Three-Tier Flow

`:auto` mode does NOT mean "never ask" (too rigid) and does NOT mean "always ask the full setup block" (too soft). It means "ask only when uncertain or ambiguous." This is achieved via three tiers, evaluated in order:

### Tier 1 — Resolve Confidently

When `execution_mode = AUTONOMOUS` (from `:auto` suffix), the command's §0 MUST attempt to resolve every required input from these sources in order:

1. **`$ARGUMENTS` flags** — explicit user-passed flags (e.g. `--max-iterations=10`, `--spec-folder=PATH`, command-specific flags)
2. **`PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block in the prompt body** — see §2 for grammar. Caller's explicit prompt-body binding wins over `$ARGUMENTS` when both are present
3. **Documented per-field defaults** — see the command's own Default Resolution Table (§3) for which fields carry sensible defaults

After resolution: if every required field has a value, persist the resolved map to the command's working-config file (e.g. `deep-review-config.json`, `plan-config.json`), set `STATUS: PASSED`, load the paired YAML workflow. Do NOT emit any setup question. End §0.

### Tier 2 — Targeted Ask

Use Tier 2 ONLY when Tier 1 leaves one or two required inputs unresolved AND each unresolved field is genuinely ambiguous AND no sensible default exists.

Constraints:
- Emit ONE narrow question per ambiguous field, naming only the ambiguous field. NEVER the full consolidated Q-block from the legacy setup phase.
- If two fields are ambiguous but one's resolution likely makes the other obvious (e.g. `review_target_type` may make `spec_folder` self-evident), ask the first one first; do not bundle multiple ambiguities into a single prompt.
- Missing required input (e.g. empty `$ARGUMENTS` with no marker for a required positional) is NOT ambiguity. Absence is a Tier 3 case.
- Wait briefly for user reply. If an answer arrives, merge it into the resolved map and re-run Tier 1 from the default-application step. If stdin is closed (`</dev/null`, redirected output, non-interactive dispatch) and no answer arrives, fall through to Tier 3. Never wait indefinitely.

### Tier 3 — Fail Fast

Use Tier 3 when `:auto` still has unresolved required inputs after Tier 1 and Tier 2, OR when Tier 2 produced no answer because stdin is closed.

Emit the named-missing-inputs error format (§4), exit non-zero, do NOT load the YAML workflow, do NOT emit any further setup question.

---

## §2. PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS Schema

The `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block is a structured marker the dispatched AI parses out of the prompt body. It allows callers to pre-bind setup field values without using individual `$ARGUMENTS` flags.

Grammar (YAML-style key/value, one field per line):

```
PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
  <field_name>: <value>  # optional inline comment
  <field_name>: <value>
  ...
```

Rules:

- The block opens with `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` (exact case-sensitive heading, followed by colon). Indentation MAY be inside a markdown fenced code block or inline in the prompt text.
- Each field is `  <key>: <value>` indented two spaces, one per line.
- Values are interpreted by the command's Default Resolution Table (§3). Field types and value enums are command-specific.
- Comments after `#` on a value line are ignored.
- Unknown fields produce a warning (do not abort), so callers may include forward-compatible fields.
- Fields not specified fall back to: command-specific Default Resolution Table → command-specific default value → unresolved (triggers Tier 2 or Tier 3 per §1).
- Malformed lines (e.g. missing `:`, malformed value type) emit a parse error naming the line. Known fields parsed before the error may still be used; remaining unresolved fields continue to Tier 2 or Tier 3.
- A second `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block in the same prompt body produces a duplicate-block error.

The marker block applies ONLY under `:auto`. Under `:confirm`, the block is informational and does not skip the consolidated question prompt.

---

## §3. Default Resolution Table

Every command MUST publish a Default Resolution Table in its §0 (after citing this contract). The table lists each setup field with the following columns:

| Field | Required | Resolves Via | Default | Tier-2 Candidate |
|-------|----------|--------------|---------|------------------|

Column meanings:

- **Field**: the field name (matches the schema in §2 and the question label in the legacy consolidated Q-block).
- **Required**: `Y` (must be resolved before YAML load) or `N` (optional).
- **Resolves Via**: ordered list of resolution sources, e.g. `flag → $ARGUMENTS` / `marker → PRE-BOUND` / `default → "<value>"` / `auto-detect from <other field>` / `requires-ask`.
- **Default**: the documented default value when no flag, marker, or auto-detection applies. May be `none` (no default — Tier 2 or Tier 3 candidate).
- **Tier-2 Candidate**: `Y` if a missing value can be resolved by ONE targeted question (per §1); `N` if absence triggers fail-fast (Tier 3).

A field is a Tier-2 candidate only when ALL of:
- No flag exists for it.
- No marker is provided.
- No sensible default exists.
- The field is genuinely required (Required=`Y`).
- A user choice is the only resolution path (ambiguity, not absence).

---

## §4. Tier 3 Fail-Fast Error Template

When Tier 3 fires, the command emits this exact format and exits non-zero:

```
[ERROR] /<command>:auto — required inputs unresolved under autonomous mode:
  - <field>: <why-unresolved>
  - <field>: <why-unresolved>
Resolution: provide via $ARGUMENTS flags, PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS: block, or switch to :confirm mode for interactive setup.
```

Rules:

- Replace `<command>` with the canonical command name (e.g. `spec_kit:deep-review`).
- One bulleted line per unresolved required field.
- `<why-unresolved>` is one short phrase: "missing — no flag, no marker, no default" or "ambiguous — Tier 2 received no answer (stdin closed)".
- Final line cites the three resolution paths verbatim.
- Do NOT load the YAML workflow.
- Do NOT emit setup questions in Tier 3.
- Exit code: non-zero (1 is the convention).

---

## §5. `:confirm` Invariance

The `:confirm` mode (interactive, with full consolidated Q-block) is unaffected by this contract. Commands MUST preserve their existing `:confirm` behavior exactly. The contract applies ONLY when `execution_mode = AUTONOMOUS` (from `:auto` suffix or explicit `--mode=AUTONOMOUS` flag).

Test invariant: a `:confirm` dispatch against any contract-adopting command MUST emit the original consolidated Q-block (Q0..Qn). Regression-check this per command after migration.

---

## §6. Verification Protocol

Each contract-adopting command requires four verification traces (dry-run mental dispatch traces against the command's §0):

### Trace A — Tier 1 pass
Dispatch with all required inputs resolvable (flags + markers + defaults). Expected: STATUS PASSED, YAML loaded, no question emitted.

### Trace B — Tier 2 targeted ask
Dispatch with exactly one ambiguous required field. Expected: ONE narrow question naming only that field; NEVER the full consolidated block.

### Trace C — Tier 3 fail fast
Dispatch with one or more truly missing required inputs (and stdin closed in non-interactive runtimes). Expected: error format from §4, exit non-zero, no YAML load.

### Trace D — `:confirm` regression
Dispatch with `:confirm` suffix and any inputs. Expected: existing full consolidated Q-block emitted.

Live verification (when feasible) extends the dry-run traces with actual non-interactive dispatches (codex `exec </dev/null`, opencode `run --pure ... </dev/null`, claude `--print`) capturing transcripts as evidence. Live verification confirms the contract works under real runtime stdin-closure conditions.

Evidence schema (one file per dispatch):
- Command invocation verbatim
- Full transcript
- Verdict footer: PASS / PARTIAL / FAIL / SKIP
- Optional: timing, model, runtime gotchas observed

Stored under `<packet>/evidence/<command-slug>-<trace>.txt`.

---

## §7. Adoption Checklist

For each command adopting this contract, the §0 of the command markdown:

- [ ] Adds a one-line citation: `Setup contract: see references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md`
- [ ] Provides its own per-field Default Resolution Table (§3) listing every Q-block field with the four columns
- [ ] Provides its own `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` field list (one row per setup field, matching the Default Resolution Table)
- [ ] Documents any command-specific Tier-2 ordering rule (e.g. "ask review_target_type before spec_folder")
- [ ] Updates frontmatter `argument-hint` to reference the new bypass capability
- [ ] Preserves the existing `:confirm` consolidated Q-block path untouched
- [ ] Authors §0 dry-run traces (A/B/C/D) and stores them under the adopting packet's `evidence/`

Commands that have adopted this contract:

- `/spec_kit:deep-review` (prototype) — see `.../103/001-deep-review-three-tier-setup/`
- (to be appended as `.../103/002-...` rolls out)

---

## §8. Out of Scope

- Commands without paired YAML workflows (`/improve:prompt`, `agent_router`, etc.) — they have no setup-phase surface where the contract applies.
- Skill-internal `:auto` flows (sk-doc, sk-code routing, etc.) — those are skill SKILL.md surfaces, not `/command:*` surfaces.
- YAML workflow internal interaction gates (e.g. mid-loop approval gates) — handled by each YAML's own non-interactivity rules, not this contract.
- Cross-command `:auto` integration (e.g. `/spec_kit:plan:auto` chained into `/spec_kit:implement:auto`) — separate contract concern.

    97	### Default Resolution Table
    98	
    99	| Field | Required | Resolves Via | Default | Tier-2 Candidate |
   100	|-------|----------|--------------|---------|------------------|
   101	| `skill_name` | Y | `$ARGUMENTS` first positional token, or marker `skill_name` | none | N |
   102	| `operation` | Y | `$ARGUMENTS` second positional token, or marker `operation` | none | N |
   103	| `source_strategy` | Y | marker `source_strategy`, or targeted source strategy choice | none | Y |
   104	| `skill_path` | Y | flag `--path`, marker `skill_path`, or default | `.opencode/skills/` | N |
   105	| `catalog_root` | Y | marker `catalog_root`, or derive from `skill_path` + `skill_name` | derived | N |
   106	| `execution_mode` | Y | attached suffix `:auto` or marker `execution_mode` | `AUTONOMOUS` under `:auto` | N |
   107	| `spec_choice` | Y | marker `spec_choice`, or targeted choice among existing/new/update-related/skip/phase-folder | none | Y |
   108	| `spec_path` | Conditional | marker `spec_path`, or derived from `spec_choice` | none | N |
   109	| `memory_choice` | N | marker `memory_choice`, prior-work detection, or default | `skip` when no prior continuity records exist | N |

   112	SETUP EXECUTION LOGIC:
   113	
   114	1) Parse invocation shape
   115	   - /create:feature-catalog <skill-name> [create|update] [--path <dir>] [:auto|:confirm]
   116	
   117	2) Parse mode suffix
   118	   - :auto detected    -> execution_mode = AUTONOMOUS (omit mode question)
   119	   - :confirm detected -> execution_mode = INTERACTIVE (omit mode question)
   120	   - no suffix         -> execution_mode = ASK
   121	
   122	3) Parse positional tokens
   123	   - token 1: skill_name (if present)
   124	   - token 2: operation (if present)
   125	
   126	4) Parse flags
   127	   - --path <dir>
   128	
   129	5) Determine which setup questions are required
   130	   - Ask skill name only when missing
   131	   - Ask operation only when missing or invalid
   132	   - Ask source strategy always
   133	   - Ask spec folder choice always
   134	   - Ask memory loading only when existing spec is selected and memory files exist
   135	   - Ask execution mode only when no suffix is present
   136	
   137	6) Ask ONE consolidated setup prompt with only missing items
   138	
   139	   Q0. Skill Name (if missing)
   140	       - Required format: hyphen-case folder name
   141	
   142	   Q1. Operation (if missing)
   143	       A) create
   144	       B) update
   145	
   146	   Q2. Source Strategy (required)
   147	       A) Derive from existing manual testing playbook when present
   148	       B) Build from a manual feature list or operator-provided inventory
   149	       C) Hybrid: derive what exists, then patch gaps manually

- **Citation present:** yes, line 66

- **Section zero Tier reached:** 3

- **Setup question emitted:** no

- **Resolved field map:**
  - `skill_name`: unresolved; `catalog_name` is unknown under the declared schema
  - `operation`: `create`
  - `source_strategy`: unresolved; no marker/default
  - `skill_path`: `.opencode/skills/`
  - `catalog_root`: unresolved; depends on `skill_name`
  - `execution_mode`: `AUTONOMOUS`
  - `spec_choice`: unresolved; `spec_folder` is unknown under the declared schema
  - `spec_path`: unresolved / conditional
  - `memory_choice`: `skip`

- **STATUS value:** fail-fast error

- **Verdict:** FAIL

Reason: Tier 1 cannot resolve all required fields because the supplied pre-bound keys do not match section zero’s schema. `catalog_name` should be `skill_name`, and `spec_folder` should be `spec_choice`; `source_strategy` is also missing. Under the shared contract, missing required input is Tier 3, not Tier 2, and no legacy setup block should be emitted.
