Documentation

README

Excerpt

X2 Kernel

Maintain the three artifacts the method is built from, and keep them honest about each other. Run this whenever the answer to "what must be true", "what exists to be measured", or "what do we actually enforce" is about to change.

First, decide whether you were given direction

Invoked with no direction, this skill EXPLAINS ITSELF AND STOPS. Print the orientation below, then end the turn and wait. Do not read the tree, do not run a check, do not pick a verb that looks likely, and do not ask a narrowing question that presumes one. Every verb here changes something a person is accountable for, or reports a state that is only worth reporting when someone asked; guessing which one is meant is how a maintenance tool edits a catalog nobody asked it to touch.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
