Ask HI

Answer questions about the HI Baseline from its skill graph and install mechanics. The references are a map: they hold the relations no single SKILL.md shows. The installed skill files hold the exact contract.

Steps

1. Classify the question to its branch below. A question that spans branches reads each branch's reference. Done when every named skill, artifact or mechanism in the question maps to one branch.

   Question about	Read
   Which phase or skill fits a task; how phases hand off	phase-graph.md
   Requirements: grill, brainstorm, flow lenses, glossary, architecture, spec, backlog	requirements.md
   Delivery: plan, workers, TDD, validation, behavior verification, goals, closeout	delivery.md
   Review, debugging, bug hunts, tech debt, research, security	quality.md
   Finder, prototypes, design, docs ingest, wiki, writing skills	discovery-and-docs.md
   Packs, install paths, Harness Adapters, prompt specs, rules, hooks, tools, release, drift	baseline.md
   Behavior that looks contradictory or a skill that seems unreachable	known-gaps.md

2. Ground each claim in the installed source the reference points to: .agents/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md and its references/ or phases/ files, or the repository file named for a mechanism. When the installed file and the reference disagree, the installed file wins; name the difference. Done when every claim in the answer has one source path.

3. Answer with the route first: the entry skill to invoke ($skill), its invocation mode, what it calls in order, the artifacts it writes and where, and where it stops. Use $show-me when the answer has three or more steps, branches or handoffs. Done when the asker can act without opening another document, and each source path is listed.

Vocabulary

• Phase: a lifecycle entrypoint skill under phases/; it routes and composes other skills.
• Explicit-only: the skill sets disable-model-invocation: true (Claude) or allow_implicit_invocation: false (Codex). Only a human can start it; tell the asker to type $<skill>.
• Model-invoked: an agent or another skill can start it from its description.
• Pack: a named set of skills, hooks and lint assets that hi installs; selection lives in .devpunks/settings.json.
