I’ll run this as a focused deep-research iteration and write only the requested iteration artifact. I’ll first inspect the core R1 evidence and agent/command surfaces, then synthesize the highest-leverage findings with line citations.

● skill(sk-deep-research)

I’ve got the deep-research contract loaded. I’m narrowing this first pass to the command-orchestrator layer question plus 063 dispatch/verdict evidence, because those unblock the reusable test template and downstream Call B.

The R1 report confirms the central mismatch: Call B reached the thin mutator, while the discipline lives in the command workflow. I’m now reading the actual command YAML/scripts and agent bodies to pin down dispatch/verdict contracts rather than infer them from the report.

I found one additional concrete seam beyond the R1 narrative: the YAML emits flat legal-stop detail keys, while the reducer currently looks for `details.gateResults`, so a future Call B verdict should check producer/consumer compatibility rather than only event names. I’m drafting the iteration artifact now.

Wrote iteration 1 findings to:

`.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/060-sk-agent-improver-test-report-alignment/003-followup-research/research/iterations/iteration-001.md`

Key added finding: 063 should invoke `/improve:agent ... :auto --spec-folder=...` for Call B, and its verdict should test command artifacts plus producer/consumer journal compatibility—not just event-name greps.

The first iteration already answered Call B shape, grep contracts, and agent classification well. I’m shifting this pass to the weaker cross-cutting pieces: grading rubric design and a reusable layer-selection template, with a quick check against the 001 synthesis and 059 rubric source.

The evidence points to a useful new split: the 059 rubric grades implementation output, while 063 needs to grade orchestration evidence and the fidelity of the harness itself. I’m checking the command and helper seams one last time so the written iteration can be concrete.

I’ve got enough distinct evidence for a non-duplicative iteration: the new value is a command-orchestrator grading rubric plus a preflight template that would have caught the 060/002 runner drift before R1. I’ll write the iteration file now at the exact requested path.

I’ll run this as a focused single deep-research iteration: first load the skill context and prior iteration evidence, then inspect only the weak spots needed for new findings, and write the exact iteration file.

● skill(sk-deep-research)

I’ve got the deep-research skill context loaded. I’m going to compare prior iteration coverage against the R1 evidence, then target the likely under-answered areas instead of rereading everything.

The first two iterations already answered most RQs broadly. I’m pivoting to the suggested weak seam: whether 063 should be test-only or implementation-plus-test, and what exact command-runner/artifact compatibility constraints make that decision.

The key new clue is that the 060 fixture contains only target-agent mirrors and a benchmark sentinel, not the `/improve:agent` command or `sk-improve-agent` scripts. I’m checking whether the follow-on runner must copy command/skill surfaces into the sandbox or run from repo root with absolute target/spec paths.

There is a real `run-benchmark.cjs` script, so CP-045’s gap is more precise than “script missing”: the YAML references the script in its catalog but never invokes it in `step_run_benchmark`. I’m reading that script’s CLI shape to make the 063 contract concrete.

One more narrow check: the fixture sentinel may not be wired to `run-benchmark.cjs` at all, so I’m verifying whether 063 should require the JSON benchmark report/state event rather than a sandbox sentinel file.

**Iteration 3 written** to:

It adds new findings on the 063 command-capable sandbox shape, benchmark report-backed grep contract, fixture completeness gap, layer-selection template addition, and whether 063 should be test-only vs implementation-plus-test.

Prior iterations already answer the broad rubric and Call B shape, so I’m shifting iteration 4 toward the least-covered cross-cutting gap: classifying other meta-agents by where their discipline actually lives, then tying that back to reusable test-layer selection.

The agent classification was already broad in iteration 1; the more valuable delta is a packet decision: 063 should be scoped as implementation-plus-test if it wants green command-flow results, because two executable seams are still open. I’m reading just those seam lines now.

The iteration adds new value around 063’s scope decision, RED/GREEN grep contracts, and a reusable layer-owned evidence matrix for future meta-agent stress tests.

I have enough new evidence for this iteration: the unresolved issue is broader than “wire run-benchmark”—063 also needs benchmark profile/fixture assets and a fixture-ID output materialization step. I’m writing the iteration file now.

Wrote Iteration 5 findings to:

`.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/060-sk-agent-improver-test-report-alignment/003-followup-research/research/iterations/iteration-005.md`

Key new contribution: 063 needs benchmark profile/fixture assets and fixture-ID output materialization in addition to command-faithful Call B, benchmark YAML wiring, and nested `details.gateResults` legal-stop evidence.

The first five iterations have largely answered the broad RQs; I’m focusing this pass on the remaining downstream decision: whether 063 should be one implementation-plus-test packet or split into RED methodology then GREEN wiring.

The key new decision is emerging: 063 should not combine methodology proof, command wiring, benchmark assets, and green verdicts unless it is deliberately scoped as a large implementation-plus-test packet. I’ll write that as the iteration’s contribution with concrete RED/GREEN exit criteria.

Wrote iteration 6 to the exact requested path:

`.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/060-sk-agent-improver-test-report-alignment/003-followup-research/research/iterations/iteration-006.md`

It adds a new packet-slicing recommendation: make 063 a command-flow RED methodology packet by default, reserve 064 for executable wiring/GREEN proof, and add a “verdict-mode honesty” gate to the meta-agent stress-test rubric.

The earlier iterations already cover the command-shape, rubric, and benchmark/legal-stop seams well. I’m narrowing iteration 7 to the remaining packet-authoring decision: whether 063 should rewrite CP-040..CP-045 in place or add successor command-flow scenarios.

I found a higher-leverage nuance than just “make all six command-flow”: CP-041 and CP-042 are actually valid leaf/body-discipline tests if supplied correctly, while CP-040/043/044/045 assert command-owned evidence. I’m writing iteration 7 around that overcorrection risk plus the CP ID policy for 063.

`.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/060-sk-agent-improver-test-report-alignment/003-followup-research/research/iterations/iteration-007.md`

Key new finding: 063 should avoid overcorrecting all six CPs into command-flow tests; CP-041/CP-042 are valid leaf/body-discipline tests if supplied with the five required inputs, while CP-040/043/044/045 require `/improve:agent` command-flow evidence.

I’ll run this as a focused single research iteration: first inspect the prior iteration outputs for gaps, then read only the evidence needed to add non-duplicative findings and write the iteration-009 markdown at the required path.

● skill(sk-deep-research)

I’ve loaded the deep-research contract and will keep this to one LEAF-style iteration: no sub-dispatch, no codebase edits, only the requested iteration artifact.

The prior iterations already cover the core layer-selection and grep contracts well. I’m targeting the remaining gap from iteration 8: how to package the final synthesis and whether 063 should absorb native RT alignment or leave it to the implementation handoff.

I found one new packaging issue worth capturing: expected-RED methodology evidence conflicts with the active playbook’s release-readiness model, so 063 should separate spec-local RED proof from active CP release contracts unless it can make those active scenarios pass honestly.

Wrote Iteration 9 findings to:

`.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/060-sk-agent-improver-test-report-alignment/003-followup-research/research/iterations/iteration-009.md`

The new contribution focuses on 063/064 handoff packaging: keep expected-RED methodology evidence spec-local unless active CP scenarios can pass under cli-copilot release rules, treat native RT-028/RT-032 as 064 repair/oracle work, and add “release-surface honesty” to the stress-test rubric.

I found the last useful gap: the loop’s reducer-side registry is stale even though the iteration files themselves have converged, so iteration 10 will document the source-of-truth rule for final synthesis and downstream handoff.

Wrote iteration 10 findings to:

`.opencode/specs/skilled-agent-orchestration/060-sk-agent-improver-test-report-alignment/003-followup-research/research/iterations/iteration-010.md`

Key result: convergence is marked `yes`, with the final new finding that the iteration markdown files must be treated as the synthesis source-of-truth because the reducer registry/state summaries are stale.
