What problem does it solve?

Culture provides a disciplined internal-thinking pass that helps the agent choose the right next action before asking the user anything, triggering other skills, or escalating work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Silent internal reasoning: restates the tension, names assumptions, explores trade-offs, runs a blast-radius shape check, and outputs a single decision back to the calling workflow skill.
  • User-facing conversation mode (opt-in): when the user explicitly opts out of writes, it renders dialogue instead of drafting specs or making changes.
  • Safety guardrails and invariants: enforces no production-code writes, commits, PRs, or repository mutations; the only permitted artifact is an opt-in notes handoff at session end.

Quick Start

Ask for internal guidance by saying: Use /culture to silently decide the best next step for my request before you ask me anything.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an agent decide its next action through internal reasoning before asking questions?

Workflow orchestration requires a silent internal reasoning pass to restate tensions, run blast-radius shape checks, and output a single next action decision before triggering user prompts or dispatch.

What is silent verdict routing in agent workflow orchestration?

Silent verdict routing is an internal reasoning mechanism that evaluates trade-offs and assumptions to select a safe next step, returning a single decision to the calling workflow skill without user interaction.

How do I perform blast-radius analysis before an agent dispatches a workflow action?

Blast-radius analysis runs during the internal reasoning pass, checking the potential impact shape of an action to ensure safe operation before the agent commits to a workflow dispatch or user escalation.

Can I use internal agent reasoning without risking production code writes or commits?

Yes, strict safety guardrails enforce no production-code writes, commits, PRs, or repository mutations, permitting only an opt-in notes handoff artifact at session end during internal reasoning.

Does workflow orchestration support a user-facing conversation mode for agent reasoning?

Yes, an opt-in user-facing conversation mode renders dialogue instead of drafting specs or making changes, but only when the user explicitly opts out of writes during the workflow session.

When should I not use silent internal reasoning for agent trade-off analysis?

Avoid using silent internal reasoning when your workflow requires immediate production-code writes, commits, or PRs, as the strict invariants only permit an opt-in notes handoff artifact at session end.
