Brooks Harness orchestrates maintenance work on the brooks-lint plugin itself, running a sequential pipeline of skill-author, eval-curator, consistency-qa, trigger-boundary-auditor, and release-manager agents. Use it when a maintainer asks to add or edit skills, refresh evals, sync docs, audit trigger boundaries, or release brooks-lint.

H-Commission creates a WorkCommission grant from an active DecisionRecord only when manually invoked by an operator. It verifies source decision status and freshness, derives execution scope, snapshots the autonomy envelope, and stops before any execution.

H-Commission creates bounded execution authority from an explicit operator grant and never auto-triggers or infers approval from prompt text or tool schemas. Use it when an agent needs a manual human gate before executing scoped actions.

H-Compare compares two or more existing candidates under an explicit characteristic space, parity basis, and predeclared selection policy, returning trade-offs and a non-dominated set. Use it when you need rigorous multi-candidate comparison rather than a binding choice.

H-Decide routes one direct, unambiguous operator request to bind a bounded choice as a DecisionRecord. Use when the operator asks to decide, bind, or supersede a choice; h-frame, h-explore, and h-compare are independent capabilities, not mandatory phases.

H-Decide routes one direct, unambiguous operator request into a bounded binding choice using the haft CLI or MCP. Use it when an operator asks to bind, decide, or supersede an exact choice and provenance must be recorded honestly.

H Explore generates 3-5 genuinely distinct candidate approaches for a current question, keeping the weakest link of each visible. Use it when alternatives are needed or a favored approach is prematurely closing the search.

H-Explore generates 3–5 genuinely distinct candidate approaches for a current question, with the weakest link of each visible. Use it to keep alternatives live, inspect direct pattern bodies, and avoid premature convergence when exploring uncertain design or reasoning paths.

H-Frame shapes an engineering problem before a solution or project phase is assumed, separating observation from cause and proposed fix. Use it when a redesign, refactor, or proposal arrives before affected object, constraints, and acceptance basis are clear.

H-Frame shapes an under-articulated engineering problem without assuming a solution or forcing a project phase. It retrieves current first-principles source and creates a ProblemCard only on explicit save intent or a concrete receiving use.

H-Note persists a fact, observation, caveat, or small non-binding rationale in Haft project memory when the operator explicitly asks or current work supplies a concrete receiving use. Use it for 'remember this', 'запиши', or 'note for later' requests.

H-Note saves lightweight facts, observations, caveats, or small rationales to Haft project memory when the operator explicitly asks to remember something. Use it to persist non-binding context that later tasks can reference, not for ordinary reasoning.
