# Fabric Guide

Recommend the smallest sufficient path; do not invoke it. Core coding needs no advanced skill: answer `No advanced skill — use the core fabric_exec path.`

| Need | Recommend |
|---|---|
| Finite discover → fan-out → verify work | `/skill:fabric-workflow` |
| Independent roles and synthesis, optionally one model per seat | `/skill:fabric-council` |
| Different models compared by a judge, or read-only references executed by one actor | `/skill:fabric-fusion` |
| Work too large for one context window | `/skill:fabric-rlm` |
| Evidence-gated or transactional local-file mutation | `/skill:fabric-schema` |
| Typed semantic judgments or a code-owned observe → judge → act loop | `/skill:fabric-jev` |
| Jev watches coding work per turn or at settlement with deterministic policy | `/skill:fabric-foreman` |
| Persistent material peer advice | `/skill:fabric-advisor` |
| Persistent progress toward one measurable goal | `/skill:fabric-supervisor` |
| Strict feature-spec compliance, audited until verified | `/skill:fabric-spec` |
| One command that infers advisor versus supervisor | `/skill:fabric-ambient` |
| Durable actor team with mailboxes and CAS tasks | `/skill:fabric-swarm` |
| A step graph that must survive restarts or wait for human approval | `/skill:fabric-graph` |

Prefer the smallest sufficient mechanism. Distinguish workflow/council/fusion by execution shape, RLM by context size, Jev by code-owned loops and event-driven Main-turn advisors with typed judgments instead of per-tick reasoning turns, Foreman by lifecycle-driven coding supervision with a fixed judgment/policy loop, ambient roles by persistent reasoning, swarm by durable multi-actor coordination, and graph by one ordered step sequence that checkpoints each node and survives restarts. Jev runs are session-owned, not restart-durable.

## Completion criterion

Complete with one of three outputs: (1) `No advanced skill` plus one-sentence reasoning for core work; (2) one advanced recommendation, one-sentence reasoning, and an exact `/skill:...` command that preserves the user’s task as arguments; or (3) one discriminating question when two choices are genuinely tied. Never load or execute a recommended skill yourself.
