README

Excerpt

Skill: Start Session

Назначение

Построить адекватную модель проекта — правильную по структуре, заземлённую в код, знающую свои границы. Защитить проект, пока модель строится.

Три вида ограничений в этом протоколе — намеренно разной природы:

Вид	Где	Как трактовать
На действия (`INVARIANTS.md`, production-safety)	в коде/контракте	жёстко — guardrails
На внимание (порядок чтения, две оси памяти)	в этом skill	полезно — структура делает глубину достижимой
На глубину/выход доклада	—	нет таких ограничений — глубина диктуется запросом, не форматом

Никаких «доложи 3–5 строк». Минимум — пол адекватности, потолка нет.

Что делать

1. Прочитать слои памяти — обе оси
