## Summary

Ralph audited the Gemini Playbook command surface generated for `ticket:20260515-gemini-playbook-commands` against ACC-001 through ACC-005. The review found no material findings and returned a bounded `clear` verdict.

## Target

The audit targeted the Gemini Playbooks extension command implementation: `loom-playbooks/commands/*.toml`, `loom-playbooks/gemini-extension.json`, and the package-local generator in `loom-playbooks/loom-playbooks.mjs`, as consumed by `ticket:20260515-gemini-playbook-commands`.

## Audit Scope And Lenses

Scope was limited to the Gemini command surface and the ticket's stated acceptance criteria: command/catalog alignment, top-level skill exposure absence, Gemini extension validation, product-surface leakage, and syntactic cleanliness.

The review lenses were audit, acceptance, TOML shape, catalog drift, Gemini skill exposure, product-surface leakage, generator safety, and evidence sufficiency.

Out of scope: live Gemini command invocation, root/Core Gemini extension validation, and exhaustive semantic review of every Playbook body beyond catalog equivalence, explicit macro preamble checks, and targeted leakage search.

## Context And Evidence Reviewed

- Ralph packet: `packet:20260515T234251Z-gemini-playbook-commands-audit` - bounded review contract and worker output.
- Implementation packet: `packet:20260515T233211Z-gemini-playbook-commands` - Gemini command generation output and validation summary.
- Ticket: `ticket:20260515-gemini-playbook-commands` - ACC-001 through ACC-005 and current closure claim.
- Spec: `spec:playbook-explicit-macros` - intended explicit macro behavior.
- Research: `research:20260515-gemini-playbooks-skills-root` - Gemini top-level `skills/` auto-discovery constraint.
- Prerequisite records: `ticket:20260515-playbook-skill-corpus-relocation`, `audit:20260515-playbook-skill-corpus-relocation`, `ticket:20260515-playbook-macro-catalog`, and `audit:20260515-playbook-macro-catalog`.
- Source files: `loom-playbooks/gemini-extension.json`, `loom-playbooks/commands/*.toml`, `loom-playbooks/loom-playbooks.mjs`, `loom-playbooks/playbooks/**/SKILL.md`, and absent `loom-playbooks/skills/**`.
- Validation observations from the Ralph review: command/catalog equivalence passed with 25 macros and 25 command TOML files; `loom-playbooks/skills/**` was absent; `gemini extensions validate "$PWD/loom-playbooks"` passed; `git diff --check` passed; explicit macro preamble appeared in all 25 prompts.

## Findings

None - no material findings within audited scope.

## Verdict

`clear` - within the reviewed scope, ACC-001 through ACC-005 are supported. The Gemini Playbooks extension has exactly one command TOML file per canonical Playbook macro, command descriptions and prompt bodies match `readPlaybookMacroCatalog()`, the top-level `loom-playbooks/skills/` directory is absent, Gemini extension metadata no longer frames the Playbooks surface as skills, Gemini extension validation and `git diff --check` passed, and reviewed command content preserves explicit macro/Core-routing framing without material contributor-only leakage.

This verdict does not itself close the ticket and should not be read as proof of live Gemini command invocation.

## Required Follow-up

The consuming ticket may close if it accepts the residual limits: no live Gemini command invocation was performed, root/Core Gemini validation was not run for this Playbooks-only change, and broad final docs/tests validation remains with `ticket:20260515-playbook-explicit-macro-docs-tests`.

## Residual Risk

- Gemini schema validation accepted the large embedded command prompts, but live invocation remains untested.
- Command generation writes the current catalog files but does not delete stale command TOML files if the catalog later shrinks or renames entries; current inspection found no stale extras.
- The audit did not perform exhaustive semantic review of every Playbook body beyond catalog equivalence, explicit macro preamble checks, and targeted leakage search.
