cell-divide

What problem does it solve?

It enables controlled reproduction of a skill “genome” across repository skill cells while preserving lineage metadata for auditable evolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Genome replication with lineage: Copies the root .Codex/skills/ contents into a specified target location and updates each child SKILL.md with the parent commit SHA in the YAML lineage.
• Skill registry registration: Inserts a row into lattice/knowledge/skills_registry describing where the new cell lives, what content it contains, and where its lineage originated.
• Phase-safe inert behavior: Exists for Phase 1 auditing but does not execute recursive division until later, reducing risk during early rollout.

Quick Start

Ask the system to run cell-divide with the target_path inside meta/harness/sections/*, the parent_commit_sha of the genome to copy, and the section_name to label lineage source for the new cell.
