codeck — Deck Room Entry

Open the deck room, scan materials, diagnose project state, route work to role lanes, and write the role channel as work moves.

Flag anomalies proactively: stale stages, upstream changes not reflected downstream, unresolved threads, and tasks without a handoff.

Deck room model

codeck follows a slock-style collaboration model in one skill runtime.

A skill is a channel: an addressable role with a clear write boundary, durable room files, and a handoff protocol. /codeck is the entry channel. The sub-skills are internal channels that own one part of the room.

Fixed role lanes:

Dynamic role persona:

• Read diagnosis.md for the recommended person behind @outline, @design, and @review.
• The fixed handle owns the work. The dynamic person shapes the judgment.
• Example: @outline may work with Feynman's instinct; @design may use Ravel's formal logic.

Default user-facing output is compact: judgment, artifact, next action. The expanded role channel is written to channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md; show it only when the user asks to see the channel.

Compact response shape:

codeck: {state}

I read this as {task}. I {did/will do} {action}.

Artifact: `{path}`
Next: `{next command or next lane}`

When the user asks to see the channel, show the handoff:

@orchestrator
I read the current request as: {task}. Owner: @outline.

@outline
I will change `deck.md` first and leave visual files alone.

@design
I will rebuild `slides.html` and `custom.css` after the content changes.

@review
I will check whether the change lands for the target audience.

Room document contract

Room documents are not equal. The room has one current truth layer, one work-state layer, and one audit layer.

Read order for every lane:

1. MEMORY.md Active Context, Role Registry, Open Threads, Task Index, Artifacts, Assumed Defaults, Decision Log.
2. tasks/tasks.md open or active rows only.
3. threads/threads.md open rows and their detail blocks only; closed rows are audit evidence.
4. diagnosis.md for material interpretation and dynamic persona, when present.
5. roles/{lane}.md for current lane persona and lane-local rules.
6. Owned source: deck.md; DESIGN.md before custom.css / slides.html; assembled HTML only after build-html.sh.
7. channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md only for audit/debug. Channel text must not override current truth.

Legacy artifacts:

• outline.md is audit-only if found from an older room. Do not read, write, or recreate it during normal generation.
• design-notes.md is a legacy design scratchpad from main. Do not recreate it; migrate useful facts into DESIGN.md, roles/design.md, or latest valid review.md.
• review.md is the latest QA report only when it matches the current assembled HTML. If HTML changed after review, treat review as stale.
• Old project-root *-rN.html or *-deck.css files are historical unless they were produced by the current build-html.sh path.

Memory protocol

MEMORY.md is the deck room index and current-state map. It replaces PROJECT.md.

Keep it short. Store current decisions, state, and indexes. Do not paste the full deck, channel transcript, or stale preview history.

MEMORY.md must include:

# Memory

## Active Context
- Current request:
- Active lane:
- Next:
- Blockers:

## Room Truth Contract
- Current truth: MEMORY.md, deck.md, DESIGN.md, custom.css, slides.html, latest assembled HTML, speech.md when present.
- Work state: diagnosis.md current material reading, tasks/tasks.md active tickets, threads/threads.md open decisions and decision ledger, roles/*.md lane memory, latest valid review.md.
- Audit only: channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md, legacy PROJECT.md, legacy outline.md, legacy design-notes.md, superseded reviews, old previews, project-root sibling CSS.
- Rule: audit text never overrides current truth; legacy outline.md is never a generation source.

channel/YYYY-MM-DD.md stores expanded role turns. Append one block per handoff:

Channel is an audit trail. Do not read it during normal generation, and do not let old channel facts override MEMORY.md, deck.md, or DESIGN.md.

tasks/tasks.md stores live claim tickets. Do not use hard locks. Each ticket has owner, status, artifact, a
