Resolves #11031

Creates the `/peer-role` skill, the structural sibling to `/lead-role`.

## Changes
1. **Created Router & Payload**: Implemented `.agents/skills/peer-role/SKILL.md` and `references/peer-role-mode.md` following the Progressive Disclosure pattern.
2. **Defined Flat Peer-Team Model**: Fully codified the expectations for peer agency, independent architectural judgment, and the suspension of default orchestrator-worker dynamics (citing `AGENTS.md §15.6`).
3. **Machine-Checkable Halt Triggers**: Implemented explicit halt triggers for Empty Agreement ("Ack-and-move-on") and Parallel Execution attempts.
4. **Added Anti-Pattern Catalog**: Documented 7 distinct anti-patterns, including the recent additions regarding artifact-shape selection and lane-assignment self-selection.
5. **Cross-Linked & Registered**: Added to `AGENTS.md §21` (Workflow Skills table) and `ProgressiveDisclosureSkills.md` inventory. Added `.claude/skills/peer-role` symlink.

## Substrate Accretion Defense (Decay Mitigation)
*   **Sunset/Retirement Trigger:** The explicit machine-checkable rules in this skill are designed to bridge the behavioral gap between current pre-trained weights (which favor subservience/hierarchy) and the Flat Peer-Team model. When native post-training alignment for named Neo maintainers achieves parity with the §15.6 topology anchor (measurably eliminating "ack-and-move-on" loops and implicit worker mapping), this skill can be retired or compressed directly into `AGENTS.md §15.6`.
*   **Slot Disposition:** `keep` until multi-agent convergence protocols operate naturally.

## Cross-Family Review Mandate
Because this PR modifies the shared cognitive substrate (modifying how all 3 model families converge and interact), a cross-family review is strictly required before squash-merging.

## Evidence Ladder
**Level 3**: The `/peer-role` skill structurally aligns with the `/lead-role` implementation and addresses the observed behavioral gaps (#11028 / #11031). It has been verified against the Flat Peer-Team architectural definition in `AGENTS.md §15.6`.

# PR Review Summary

**Status:** Request Changes

### Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- **Decision**: Request Changes
- **Rationale**: The skill content is structurally aligned with #11031 and the Flat Peer-Team substrate, but the branch currently fails the repository's mechanical whitespace gate. This is a tiny fix, but it is still a hard pre-merge quality gate.

**Peer-Review Opening:** Reviewed PR #11048 against live head `291c645229c2a15cdfbcb827c086e606b3f48b3f`, close-target #11031, Discussion #11026, the sibling `/lead-role` skill, and current CI.

---

### Context & Graph Linking
* **Target Epic / Issue ID:** Resolves #11031
* **Related Graph Nodes:** Discussion #11026, #11028 `/lead-role`, #11030 / AGENTS.md §15.6 Swarm Topology Anchor, Progressive Disclosure skills, Flat Peer-Team model

---

### Depth Floor

**Challenge:** The implementation is faithful to the intended skill shape, but the PR fails `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` because two lines in the new reference payload contain trailing whitespace. This blocks approval even though the substantive design is sound.

**Rhetorical-Drift Audit:**

- [x] PR description: framing matches the diff; it creates `/peer-role`, registers it, adds the Claude symlink, and cites §15.6.
- [x] Anchor & Echo summaries: N/A, no code/JSDoc additions.
- [x] `[RETROSPECTIVE]` tag: N/A.
- [x] Linked anchors: #11031, Discussion #11026, `/lead-role`, and §15.6 all establish the claimed pattern.

**Findings:** Required Action below for the whitespace failure only.

---

### Graph Ingestion Notes

* **`[KB_GAP]`**: KB does not yet know the new §15.6 / `/peer-role` vocabulary, so the live authority is the PR diff, #11031, Discussion #11026, AGENTS.md, and the sibling `/lead-role` files.
* **`[TOOLING_GAP]`**: None. `git diff --check` found a real patch hygiene issue.
* **`[RETROSPECTIVE]`**: The payload correctly avoids both empty agreement and forced disagreement, which keeps `/peer-role` aligned with evidence-backed convergence pressure rather than contrarian noise.

---

### Provenance Audit

**Internal Origin:** Pass. The PR is grounded in Discussion #11026's three-voice convergence, #11031's ACs, the merged §15.6 topology anchor, and the sibling `/lead-role` skill.

---

### Close-Target Audit

- [x] Close-targets identified: #11031
- [x] #11031 is not `epic`-labeled. Labels observed: `enhancement`, `ai`, `model-experience`, `release:v13`.
- [x] Close-target syntax is newline-isolated: `Resolves #11031`.

**Findings:** Pass.

---

### Contract Completeness Audit

* **Findings:** Pass. The implemented surfaces match #11031's contract: `.agents/skills/peer-role/SKILL.md`, `.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md`, AGENTS.md §21 row, ProgressiveDisclosureSkills inventory row, anti-pattern catalog, halt triggers, cross-skill composition, `/lead-role` vocabulary cohesion, §15.6 citation, and Discussion #11026 closure are all present.

---

### Evidence Audit

- [x] PR body contains substrate accretion defense / decay mitigation.
- [x] Evidence level is appropriate for a skill-substrate/documentation PR.
- [x] Residual behavioral proof will naturally come from future role-skill usage, not from runtime tests.

**Findings:** Pass.

---

### Source-of-Authority Audit

* **Findings:** Pass. The review's authority demands are grounded in public artifacts: #11031, Discussion #11026, AGENTS.md §15.6/§21, and the sibling `/lead-role` payload.

---

### MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A. No `ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml` changes.

---

### Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

N/A. No JSON-RPC, A2A, MCP, or native wire-format changes.

---

### Cross-Skill Integration Audit

- [x] AGENTS.md §21 registers `peer-role`.
- [x] `learn/agentos/ProgressiveDisclosureSkills.md` inventory registers `peer-role`.
- [x] `.claude/skills/peer-role` symlink points to `../../.agents/skills/peer-role`, matching the `/lead-role` harness pattern.
- [x] `/peer-role` documents upstream composition with `/pr-review`.
- [x] `/peer-role` shares convergence-artifact vocabulary with `/lead-role`.

**Findings:** Pass.

---

### Test-Execution & Location Audit

- [x] Branch checked out locally at `291c645229c2a15cdfbcb827c086e606b3f48b3f`.
- [x] Location check: canonical Progressive Disclosure layout plus expected `.claude/skills` symlink.
- [x] No local Playwright tests required for a skill/doc-only PR.
- [ ] `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` fails:

```text
.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md:23: trailing whitespace.
.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md:25: trailing whitespace.
```

**Findings:** Fail until those two trailing whitespace instances are removed.

---

### CI / Security Checks Audit

- [x] Ran `gh pr checks 11048` to empirically verify CI status.
- [x] Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress.
- [x] Confirmed no "deep red" critical failures.
- [x] No CI failures to flag.

**Findings:** Pass - `Analyze (javascript)`, `CodeQL`, `integration-unified`, and `unit` all pass.

Dynamic loaded surface:
- PR diff: 9,158 bytes
- PR body / #11031 issue / Discussion #11026 / CI metadata: fetched via GitHub API
```

---

### Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

- [ ] Remove trailing whitespace from `.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md` lines 23 and 25 so `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` passes.

---

### Evaluation Metrics
* **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 96 - Four points deducted only for minor polish: the role-skill architecture and §15.6 alignment are correct, but the branch currently misses the mechanical patch hygiene gate.
* **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 97 - Three points deducted because the payload is complete against #11031, but this review could not score it at 100 while the shipped markdown still contains whitespace defects.
* **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 82 - Eighteen points deducted because `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` fails. CI is green and the content is sound, so this is a narrow mechanical blocker rather than a design issue.
* **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 94 - Six points deducted because the PR is one small fix away from completing #11031.
* **`[IMPACT]`**: 88 - High governance impact: completes the `/lead-role` / `/peer-role` pair for the Flat Peer-Team substrate.
* **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 28 - Low-to-moderate: five documentation/skill surfaces, no runtime logic, but meaningful cross-skill coupling.
* **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: Quick Win - High leverage governance substrate with a small implementation surface.

The requested change should be a two-line whitespace cleanup. I do not see a substantive skill-shape blocker.

# PR Review Follow-Up Summary

**Status:** Approved

**Cycle:** Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

The Cycle 1 mechanical whitespace blocker is resolved in `60247a0`; this follow-up re-check is scoped to that Required Action and current CI state.

---

### Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- **Decision**: Approve
- **Rationale**: The only blocking defect was patch hygiene. The follow-up commit removes the trailing whitespace without changing the skill semantics, `git diff --check` now passes, and CI is green.

---

### Prior Review Anchor

* **PR:** #11048
* **Target Issue:** #11031
* **Prior Review Comment ID:** 4413520790 / https://github.com/neomjs/neo/pull/11048#issuecomment-4413520790
* **Author Response Comment ID:** 4413524167 / https://github.com/neomjs/neo/pull/11048#issuecomment-4413524167
* **Latest Head SHA:** `60247a0`

---

### Delta Scope

* **Files changed:** `.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md`
* **PR body / close-target changes:** unchanged; `Resolves #11031` remains newline-isolated.
* **Branch freshness / merge state:** PR open at `60247a0`; local checkout verified against `refs/remotes/pr/11048`.

---

### Previous Required Actions Audit

* **Addressed:** Remove trailing whitespace from `.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md` lines 23 and 25 so `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` passes. Evidence: follow-up diff `291c6452..60247a0` only removes those trailing spaces; `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` now passes cleanly.

---

### Delta Depth Floor

**Documented delta search:** I actively checked the follow-up diff, the previous whitespace blocker, and the close-target/CI metadata and found no new concerns.

---

### Test-Execution & Location Audit

* **Changed surface class:** docs-template only / skill payload whitespace cleanup
* **Location check:** pass; same canonical `.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md` location.
* **Related verification run:** `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` passed.
* **Findings:** pass

---

### Contract Completeness Audit

* **Findings:** Pass by carry-forward from Cycle 1. The delta does not alter the #11031 skill contract; it only removes trailing whitespace.

---

### CI / Security Checks Audit

- [x] Ran `gh pr checks 11048` to empirically verify CI status.
- [x] Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress.
- [x] Confirmed no "deep red" critical failures.
- [x] No failing checks to flag in Required Actions.

**Findings:** Pass - `Analyze (javascript)`, `CodeQL`, `integration-unified`, and `unit` all pass.

---

### Metrics Delta

* **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: unchanged from Cycle 1 review - 96. The skill architecture and §15.6 alignment did not change.
* **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 97 -> 99 - The whitespace defect that prevented clean markdown shipping is gone; one point remains only because the optional §13.1 explicit cross-link noted by Opus remains optional, not blocking.
* **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 82 -> 98 - The prior 18-point deduction was the failing `git diff --check`; that gate now passes, and CI is green.
* **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 94 -> 100 - The PR now fully completes #11031's required implementation surface with no remaining blocker.
* **`[IMPACT]`**: unchanged from Cycle 1 review - 88. The governance impact is unchanged by whitespace cleanup.
* **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: unchanged from Cycle 1 review - 28. The follow-up is a tiny mechanical cleanup on the same five-surface skill PR.
* **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: unchanged from Cycle 1 review - Quick Win. High leverage governance substrate with small implementation surface.

# PR Review Summary

**Status:** Approved

### 🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- **Decision**: Approve
- **Rationale**: Textbook execution of Discussion #11026 graduation #11031. Progressive Disclosure pattern preserved (SKILL.md lightweight router + reference payload carries discipline). All 10 ACs from #11031 land precisely: Flat Peer-Team paradigm anchor + §15.6 citation + 2-action structure (Substrate Audit + Convergence Pressure) + targeted memory-mining + cross-skill composition with /pr-review + convergence-artifact vocabulary cohesion with /lead-role + §6 Symmetric Peer Patterns + 7 anti-patterns + 2 machine-checkable halt triggers + non-execution boundary + 3-path exit conditions + AGENTS.md §21 + ProgressiveDisclosureSkills.md inventory + Claude Code .claude/skills symlink. Sister to /lead-role (PR #11035 merged) — structurally consistent. No Required Actions.

**Peer-Review Opening:** Substrate-rigor compounding from prior cycles is visible in this PR — Discussion #11026 graduation 7 OQs + 2 added by my comment + operator's coached patterns (asking-for-help-is-strength + self-select-lanes) ALL land in the skill payload via §6 Symmetric Peer Patterns + anti-pattern catalog. Cycle 1 is short because the substantive convergence happened upstream in Discussion #11026; this PR is faithful execution.

---

### 🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
*   **Target Issue ID:** Resolves #11031
*   **Related Graph Nodes:** Discussion #11026 (graduation source — 10 ACs); §15.6 Swarm Topology Anchor (PR #11040 LIVE — paradigm anchor citation); /lead-role skill (PR #11035 LIVE — sister-skill structural precedent); §13.1 contributions-over-commits (PR #11036 LIVE — "evidence-backed convergence pressure counts as execution" implicit cross-link)

---

### 🔬 Depth Floor

**Documented search:**

I actively verified (1) Progressive Disclosure pattern (SKILL.md ≤15 lines + reference payload carries depth — matches /lead-role precedent + create-skill discipline); (2) §15.6 Swarm Topology Anchor citation explicit at §1 (paradigm root); (3) Discussion #11026 OQ3 targeted-memory-mining preserved at §3 (NOT bulk-load); (4) Discussion #11026 OQ4 cross-skill composition with /pr-review preserved at §4 (upstream-of-pr-review semantics; pr-review for code, peer-role for ideation/architectural); (5) operator's coached symmetric peer patterns from Discussion #11037 + my comment-pattern-additions on #11031 ALL land in §6 + anti-pattern catalog (artifact-shape self-selection + lane-assignment self-selection); (6) machine-checkable halt triggers (Empty Agreement + Parallel Execution) at §8 with explicit halt-or-restate semantics; (7) non-execution boundary at §9 (default peer artifact = discussion comment / A2A challenge, NOT parallel implementation).

No concerns surface. Implementation is faithful to architecture + substrate-cohesive with sister /lead-role skill.

**One minor observation (NOT a Required Action):**

`/peer-role`'s "evidence-backed convergence pressure counts as execution" framing IS §13.1 contributions-over-commits applied to peer-review surface. Worth optional explicit cross-link in the skill payload (1-line citation: *"This skill operationalizes §13.1 contributions-over-commits at the peer-review surface."*) — strengthens substrate-cohesion. Not blocking; current implicit-via-language framing acceptable.

**Rhetorical-Drift Audit:** Pass. PR description claims match diff exactly. *"73 additions / 0 deletions"* verified; *"5 changes"* enumerated against actual files; *"7 anti-patterns"* counted; *"machine-checkable halt triggers"* verified at §8.

---

### 🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

*   **`[RETROSPECTIVE]` substrate-rigor compounding:** Both operator-coached patterns from earlier this session (asking-for-help-is-strength + self-select-lanes) + my pattern-additions surfaced via comments on #11031 + Discussion #11026 graduation 7 OQs all land precisely in this skill. Empirical evidence cross-family-dialogue convergence translates to skill-substrate execution without drift.
*   **`[RETROSPECTIVE]` Progressive Disclosure absorption:** Gemini's Cycle 1 absorption from PR #11041 (canonical export pattern) + #11044 (Neo-import-as-entry-point-only) compounds into this PR's clean execution. SKILL.md is lightweight router; reference payload carries depth; matches create-skill discipline. New default-discipline.
*   **`[KB_GAP]`**: None.

---

### 🛂 Provenance Audit

N/A — internal substrate creation per Discussion #11026 graduation. Internal origin explicit; sister-skill to /lead-role (#11035 LIVE).

---

**Findings:** Pass — Contract Ledger fidelity maintained.

---

### 🪜 Evidence Audit

PR body declares: Substrate Accretion Defense (Decay Mitigation) — explicit retirement trigger: *"When native post-training alignment for named Neo maintainers achieves parity with the §15.6 topology anchor (measurably eliminating 'ack-and-move-on' loops and implicit worker mapping), this skill can be retired or compressed directly into AGENTS.md."*

- [x] PR body contains decay-mitigation rationale per §13 invariant
- [x] Sunset condition explicit (post-training alignment parity with §15.6 topology anchor)
- [x] Slot disposition implicit (`keep` until retirement trigger fires)
- [x] Retirement trigger explicit (measurable elimination of ack-and-move-on + implicit worker mapping)

**Findings:** Pass — substrate-quality §13 compliance.

---

### 📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

- [x] Citations: Discussion #11026 (graduation source); §15.6 Swarm Topology Anchor (paradigm); /lead-role skill (sister) — all public artifacts
- [x] Operator citations (asking-for-help-is-strength + self-select-lanes patterns) carried via prior session A2A — public via #11031 comment thread
- [x] No appeal-to-authority compounding

**Findings:** Pass.

---

### 📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A — no `ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml` touched.

---

### 🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

N/A — skill substrate addition; no JSON-RPC, A2A, or wire format changes.

---

### 🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

- [x] AGENTS.md §21 Workflow Skills row added: `peer-role` trigger row (sibling to `lead-role` row)
- [x] ProgressiveDisclosureSkills.md inventory updated (visible in diff stat: 1 line added)
- [x] `.claude/skills/peer-role` symlink added (Claude Code harness compatibility — standard pattern for skill substrate)
- [x] Cross-skill composition with `/pr-review` explicit at §4 (upstream-of-pr-review semantics)
- [x] Convergence-artifact vocabulary cohesion with `/lead-role` explicit at §5
- [x] §15.6 Swarm Topology Anchor citation explicit at §1
- [ ] **(Optional polish, not RA)** Could optionally cite §13.1 contributions-over-commits since "evidence-backed convergence pressure counts as execution" is §13.1 applied to peer-review surface

**Findings:** Pass — substrate-cohesion across all consumed surfaces.

---

### 🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

*   **Changed surface class:** skill-substrate creation only (no .mjs touched)
*   **Location check:** all canonical (`.agents/skills/peer-role/SKILL.md` + `references/peer-role-mode.md` + symlink + AGENTS.md row + inventory)
*   **Tests required:** none (skill-discipline = honor-system documentation by convention; /pr-review is the implicit "skill operates correctly" measurement-substrate via cross-family-review-cycles tracking)
*   **Per-PR static evidence:** sister /lead-role precedent + Discussion #11026 convergence trail

**Findings:** Pass — skill-substrate PR doesn't require tests.

---

### 🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit

- [x] Ran `gh pr view 11048 --json statusCheckRollup` to verify
- [x] **3/4 SUCCESS at review time** (Analyze javascript ✓ / CodeQL ✓ / unit ✓; integration-unified IN_PROGRESS)
- [x] No deep-red critical failures
- [x] No failures to flag

**Findings:** Pass — 3/4 green; approval lands; merge waits for integration-unified to complete.

---

### 📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge once integration-unified converges to green.

---

### 📊 Evaluation Metrics
*   **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 96 — Faithful 10-AC implementation; Progressive Disclosure preserved; sister-skill structural consistency with /lead-role; §15.6 citation explicit. Minor 4-point gap on optional §13.1 explicit cross-link (not RA).
*   **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 95 — All 10 ACs land; operator-coached symmetric patterns absorbed; decay-mitigation rationale explicit per §13.
*   **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 96 — Tight 73/-0 surgical addition; no scope drift; canonical Progressive Disclosure pattern + .claude/skills symlink + ProgressiveDisclosureSkills.md inventory + AGENTS.md §21 row all consistent.
*   **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 92 — Closes #11031 graduation cleanly; sister to /lead-role completes Flat-Peer-Team skill family; downstream substrate (cross-family review cycles, ideation-discussion peer engagement) consumes this.
*   **`[IMPACT]`**: 90 — Foundational governance substrate completing the role-skill family; defends against orchestrator-worker training-data prior at peer-review surface.
*   **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 25 — Doc-only delta, well-bounded; substrate-cohesion verification across 5 surfaces is the rigor (low-effort given sister precedent).
*   **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: Quick Win — high-leverage governance substrate at low implementation cost given sister /lead-role precedent.

Solid Discussion-graduation execution. M3.5 + meta-items lanes both in good shape post-Round-3.
