You are testing the setup-phase contract of the migrated command /improve:agent.

# 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 allowed.

# YOUR TASK

1. Read .opencode/commands/improve/agent.md section zero (UNIFIED SETUP PHASE).
2. Verify it cites .opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md.
3. SIMULATE a dispatch of /improve:agent:auto with the following PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS block in the prompt body (these field names + example values come VERBATIM from this command's own §0 schema — they are guaranteed to match the command's expected keys):

```
PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
  target_path: .opencode/agents/debug.md  # required path matching .opencode/agents/*.md
  target_profile: dynamic  # optional; one of: handover | context-prime | dynamic; derived from target_path when omitted
  spec_folder: specs/041/008  # required spec folder path or explicit runtime folder
  execution_mode: AUTONOMOUS  # from :auto suffix
  scoring_mode: dynamic  # dynamic is the current supported scoring mode
  max_iterations: 5  # positive integer
```

4. Walk through Tier-1 logic step by step. Determine which Tier the resolution lands in.

5. Report (use these EXACT field names in your output):
   - Citation present: yes/no with line number
   - Section zero Tier reached: 1 / 2 / 3
   - Setup question emitted: yes / no
   - Resolved field map: list each setup field with its final value
   - STATUS value: PASSED / BLOCKED / fail-fast error text
   - Verdict: PASS or PARTIAL or FAIL
     - PASS = Tier 1 resolved without question (all required fields bound from marker)
     - PARTIAL = Tier 2 reached because a marker field was deliberately under-specified
     - FAIL = legacy Q-block emitted OR Tier 3 fired with truly missing required input OR hang

# CONSTRAINTS
- Do not edit files.
- Do not call SpawnAgent.
- Do not load the YAML workflow.

I’ll keep this read-only and stop at command setup resolution. Gate 3 is already answered as D, so I’m only going to inspect the command markdown and simulate the Tier logic from that text.

61:# 🔒 UNIFIED SETUP PHASE
69:Setup contract: see `.opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md`.
71:Under `execution_mode = AUTONOMOUS` (from the `:auto` suffix), follow the three-tier flow:
73:1. **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_folder}/improvement/agent-improvement-config.json` (shape: `targetPath`, `targetProfile`, `specFolder`, `executionMode: "auto"`, `scoringMode`, `maxIterations`, `agentName`), bind runtime YAML placeholders, set `STATUS: PASSED`, load `.opencode/commands/improve/assets/improve_deep-agent-improvement_auto.yaml`. End §0.
75:2. **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): `spec_folder`. **Ordering rule**: none needed; `target_path` absence is missing input, not ambiguity, and goes to Tier 3.
77:3. **Tier 3 — Fail fast** (contract §4): emit the named-missing-inputs error format with `/improve:agent:auto` as the command name. Exit non-zero. Do not load YAML.

# 🔒 UNIFIED SETUP PHASE

**FIRST MESSAGE PROTOCOL**: For `:confirm` or no suffix, the consolidated setup prompt MUST be your FIRST response. No implementation or file-modifying tool calls before asking. Lightweight read-only discovery to suggest a spec folder or load prior context is allowed, then ask ALL questions immediately and wait.

For `:auto`, do not emit the consolidated prompt by default. Resolve setup with the three-tier branch below, then load the auto YAML only after all required values are bound.

### `: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_folder}/improvement/agent-improvement-config.json` (shape: `targetPath`, `targetProfile`, `specFolder`, `executionMode: "auto"`, `scoringMode`, `maxIterations`, `agentName`), bind runtime YAML placeholders, set `STATUS: PASSED`, load `.opencode/commands/improve/assets/improve_deep-agent-improvement_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): `spec_folder`. **Ordering rule**: none needed; `target_path` absence is missing input, not ambiguity, and goes to Tier 3.

3. **Tier 3 — Fail fast** (contract §4): emit the named-missing-inputs error format with `/improve:agent: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:
  target_path: .opencode/agents/debug.md  # required path matching .opencode/agents/*.md
  target_profile: dynamic  # optional; one of: handover | context-prime | dynamic; derived from target_path when omitted
  spec_folder: specs/041/008  # required spec folder path or explicit runtime folder
  execution_mode: AUTONOMOUS  # from :auto suffix
  scoring_mode: dynamic  # dynamic is the current supported scoring mode
  max_iterations: 5  # positive integer
```

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 |
|-------|----------|--------------|---------|------------------|
| `target_path` | Y | `$ARGUMENTS` agent path, or marker `target_path` | none | N |
| `target_profile` | Y | marker `target_profile`, or auto-detect from `target_path` (`handover` -> `handover`, `context-prime` -> `context-prime`, otherwise `dynamic`) | inferred from `target_path` | N |
| `spec_folder` | Y | flag `--spec-folder`, marker `spec_folder`, or requires-ask | none | Y |
| `execution_mode` | Y | attached suffix `:auto` or marker `execution_mode` | `AUTONOMOUS` under `:auto` | N |
| `scoring_mode` | Y | marker `scoring_mode`, Q3 equivalent, or default | `dynamic` | N |
| `max_iterations` | Y | flag `--iterations`, marker `max_iterations`, or default | `5` | N |

**STATUS: ☐ BLOCKED**

**🚨 SINGLE CONSOLIDATED PROMPT - ONE USER INTERACTION**

This workflow uses a SINGLE consolidated prompt to gather ALL required inputs in ONE user interaction.

**Round-trip optimization:** This workflow requires only 1 user interaction for setup.

```
EXECUTE THIS SINGLE CONSOLIDATED PROMPT:

1. CHECK for mode suffix in $ARGUMENTS or command invocation:
   ├─ ":auto" suffix detected → execution_mode = "AUTONOMOUS" (pre-set, omit Q2)
   ├─ ":confirm" suffix detected → execution_mode = "INTERACTIVE" (pre-set, omit Q2)
   └─ No suffix → execution_mode = "ASK" (include Q2 in prompt)

2. CHECK if $ARGUMENTS contains an agent path:
   ├─ IF present (.opencode/agents/*.md) → target_path = detected value, omit Q0
   └─ IF missing → include Q0 in prompt

3. CHECK for --spec-folder flag:
   ├─ IF present → spec_folder = value, omit Q1
   └─ IF missing → include Q1 in prompt

4. CHECK for --iterations flag:
   ├─ IF present → max_iterations = value
   └─ IF missing → max_iterations = 5 (default)

5. List available agents for Q0:
   $ ls .opencode/agents/*.md

6. List recent spec folders for Q1:
   $ ls -d specs/*/ 2>/dev/null | tail -10

7. ASK user with SINGLE consolidated prompt (include only applicable questions):

   ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
   │ **Before proceeding, please answer:**                          │
   │                                                                │
   │ **Q0. Target Agent** (if not provided in command):             │
   │    Which agent would you like to evaluate and improve?         │
   │    [list agents found above]                                   │

   │ **Q1. Spec Folder** (if no --spec-folder flag):                 │
   │    A) Use existing spec folder: [list if found]                │
   │    B) Create new spec folder                                   │

   │ **Q2. Execution Mode** (if no :auto/:confirm suffix):            │

   └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

8. WAIT for user response (DO NOT PROCEED)

9. Parse response and store ALL results:
   - target_path = [from Q0 or $ARGUMENTS]
   - target_profile = [derived dynamic profile for the selected target]
   - spec_folder = [from Q1 or --spec-folder]
   - execution_mode = [AUTONOMOUS/INTERACTIVE from suffix or Q2]
   - scoring_mode = [dynamic from Q3]
   - max_iterations = [from --iterations or default 5]

10. SET STATUS: ✅ PASSED

**STOP HERE** - Wait for user to answer ALL applicable questions before continuing.

⛔ HARD STOP: DO NOT proceed until user explicitly answers
⛔ NEVER infer target agent from context, screenshots, or conversation history
⛔ NEVER auto-select spec folder without user confirmation
⛔ NEVER split these questions into multiple prompts
⛔ NEVER assume what the user wants based on open files or recent activity
```
