+name: triage
+description: Run the hourly PR-triage + issue-pickup + code-review + docs-sync loop. Equivalent to one tick of the c5074cd5 cron, on demand.
+---
+
+# /triage
+
+Manual invocation of the same prompt the hourly cron runs at :17 past each hour. Use when:
+- You want to clear backlog faster than the hourly cadence
+- You're testing a change to the cron prompt itself
+- The cron is session-only and the session has ended
+
+## Steps
+
+Run the full c5074cd5 cron flow:
+
+### Step 0 — Activate guards + replay learnings
+1. Invoke `Skill careful-mode` — load REFUSE/WARN/ALLOW lists.
+2. Read last 20 lines of `~/.claude/projects/-Users-hongming-Documents-GitHub-molecule-monorepo/memory/cron-learnings.jsonl`.
+
+### Step 1 — List
+```
+gh pr list --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo --state open --json number,title,author,isDraft,mergeable,statusCheckRollup,files
+gh issue list --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo --state open --json number,title,assignees,labels,body
+```
+
+### Step 2 — 7-gate verification per PR
+- Gate 1 CI · Gate 2 build · Gate 3 tests · Gate 4 security · Gate 5 design · Gate 6 line review · Gate 7 Playwright if canvas
+- Supplement A: `Skill code-review` on every PR
+- Supplement B: `Skill cross-vendor-review` on noteworthy PRs (auth/billing/data-deletion/migration/large-blast-radius)
+
+### Step 2a — Mechanical fixes only
+Fix on-branch + commit `fix(gate-N): ...` + push + poll CI. NEVER fix logic / design / auth issues.
+
+### Step 2b — Merge
+All gates pass + 0 🔴 from code-review + cross-vendor agreement → `gh pr merge N --merge --delete-branch`. Merge-commit only.
+
+### Step 3 — Docs sync after any merge
+`Skill update-docs` — measure test counts, don't guess. Open `docs/sync-YYYY-MM-DD-tick-N` PR, don't merge.
+
+### Step 4 — Issue pickup (cap 2 per tick)
+For each candidate issue: gates I-1..I-6, self-assign, branch, implement, draft PR, run `Skill llm-judge` against issue body + PR diff, mark ready only if score >= 4.
+
+### Step 5 — Status report + cron-learnings
+Report includes every subsection (use "none" if empty):
+- Merged: #A, #B
+- Fixed + merged: #C (gate-N fix)
+- Fixed + awaiting CI: #D
+- Skipped-design: #E (🔴 finding)
+- Picked up issue #F → draft PR #G (llm-judge: N/5)
+- Skipped issue #H (gate I-2)
+- Code-review summary: total 🔴/🟡/🔵
+- Cross-vendor pass/escalation
+- Docs PR: #K
+- Idle reason if nothing to do
+
+THEN: append 1-3 lines to cron-learnings.jsonl. Terse. Concrete next_action only.
+
+## Standing rules (inviolable)
+- Never push to main · Merge-commits only · Dark theme only · No native browser dialogs · Delegate through PM · Only PM mounts the repo
+- careful-mode REFUSE list ALWAYS blocks
+- code-review 🔴 ALWAYS blocks merge
+- cross-vendor disagreement on noteworthy PR escalates to CEO
+- llm-judge ≤ 2 blocks marking a draft PR ready

+## Agent operating rules (auto-loaded — read first)
+
+The following are project-level rules that override default behavior. They
+apply to every conversation in this repo, automated cron tick, and every
+subagent the orchestrator spawns.
+
+### Cron / triage discipline
+
+1. **Always read the most recent cron-learnings before reviewing PRs.** Open
+   `~/.claude/projects/-Users-hongming-Documents-GitHub-molecule-monorepo/memory/cron-learnings.jsonl`,
+   read the last 20 lines. Patterns recur — a finding that was a false-positive
+   last tick is likely a false-positive again. A fix that worked last tick is
+   likely the fix this tick. The SessionStart hook auto-injects this; read
+   anyway when starting a triage from the middle of a conversation.
+
+2. **Treat `docs/sync-*` PRs that touch CLAUDE.md or PLAN.md as ALWAYS
+   noteworthy.** Those two files are the agent-facing source of truth — a
+   bad merge there silently corrupts every future triage tick. Run code-review
+   skill at minimum, ideally cross-vendor-review too.
+
+3. **After any cron tick, write a 1-line reflection** to
+   `.claude/per-tick-reflections.md` (gitignored). Format: `2026-MM-DDTHH:MMZ
+   — what surprised me / what I'd do differently next tick`. This is for
+   YOUR future self; the cron-learnings JSONL is for the operational pattern
+   memory. They are distinct.
+
+### Hooks active in this repo
+
+The following ambient guardrails fire automatically (configured in
+`.claude/settings.json`). When a hook blocks a tool call, the response will
+include a `permissionDecisionReason` — read it carefully before retrying.
+
+| Hook | Event | Effect |
+|------|-------|--------|
+| `pre-bash-careful.sh` | PreToolUse:Bash | REFUSES `git push --force` to main, `rm -rf` at root/HOME, `DROP TABLE` against prod schema. WARNs on `--force-with-lease`, `gh pr close/issue close`. |
+| `pre-edit-freeze.sh` | PreToolUse:Edit/Write | Blocks edits outside the path in `.claude/freeze` if that file exists. Use to lock scope while debugging. |
+| `session-start-context.sh` | SessionStart | Auto-loads recent cron-learnings, freeze status, open PR/issue counts. |
+| `post-edit-audit.sh` | PostToolUse:Edit/Write | Appends every edit to `.claude/audit.jsonl` (gitignored). |
+| `user-prompt-tag.sh` | UserPromptSubmit | Injects warning into context when prompt mentions force-push / drop-table / "delete all" / etc. |
+| `subagent-stop-judge.sh` | SubagentStop | Off by default (touch `.claude/judge-subagents` to enable). When on, prompts the orchestrator to verify the subagent's output addresses the original task. |
+
+### Skills active in this repo
+
+These are documented in `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`. Invoke explicitly via
+the `Skill` tool — they are NOT auto-applied. The cron prompt invokes them
+at fixed steps; for ad-hoc work, decide if the skill matches your situation:
+
+- `code-review` — full 16-criteria rubric on a diff
+- `cross-vendor-review` — adversarial second-model review (use for noteworthy PRs)
+- `careful-mode` — the doc backing the bash hook above
+- `cron-learnings` — defines the JSONL format
+- `cron-retro` — weekly retrospective generator
+- `llm-judge` — score whether a deliverable addresses the request
+- `update-docs` — sync repo docs after merges
+
+### Standing rules (inviolable)
+
+- Never push directly to main — use feat/fix/chore/docs branches
+- Merge-commits only (`gh pr merge --merge`) — never `--squash` / `--rebase`
+- Never commit without explicit user approval EXCEPT on:
+  - Open PR branches you're fixing for a gate
+  - Issue-pickup branches you opened a draft PR for
+  - Docs-sync branches
+  - Main is untouchable without a merge
+- Dark theme only (no white/light CSS classes; pre-commit hook enforces)
+- No native browser dialogs (`confirm`/`alert`/`prompt`) — use `ConfirmDialog`
+- Delegate through PM, never bypass hierarchy
+- Only PM mounts the repo (`workspace_dir` bind-mount); other agents get isolated Docker volumes
+
