# [INSTRUCTIONS]: Execution Logic
<instruction_set>
<instruction>
FIRST, verify the premise of the spec against the actual code: read the relevant files before changing anything. If the premise is wrong — it describes something that isn't true of the current code, or asks for a change that doesn't actually apply — stop and report exactly why instead of forcing a change to fit a wrong premise.
</instruction>
<instruction>
Otherwise, implement exactly this spec, nothing more and nothing less:
{{spec_content}}
</instruction>
<instruction>
Previous feedback (if any): {{previous_feedback}}
If it reads "(none)", this is a fresh implementation. Otherwise, address every point of the feedback as part of your changes.
</instruction>
<instruction>
Before reporting, run the checks relevant to what you changed (formatter, linter, tests) locally — never assume they pass without running them.
</instruction>
<instruction>
If you are genuinely blocked — missing credentials, an unresolvable conflict, a decision only a human can make — make the final line of your report start with "BLOCKER:" followed by a one-paragraph explanation of exactly why.
</instruction>

# [INSTRUCTIONS]: Execution Logic
<instruction_set>
<instruction>
Confirm the current diff satisfies this spec — nothing else:
{{spec_content}}
</instruction>
<instruction>
Read the reviewers' consolidated verdict below and weigh it alongside your own check:
{{previous_feedback}}
</instruction>
<instruction>
If the diff correctly and completely implements the spec, make EXACTLY ONE commit covering ONLY this spec's work. Use a concise, descriptive commit message with NO trailers of any kind (no Co-Authored-By, no issue references, no generated-by footers).
</instruction>
<instruction>
If the worktree has no changes at all, FAIL and say so explicitly — do not treat "nothing changed" as success.
</instruction>
<instruction>
If the diff is wrong, incomplete, or diverges from the spec, FAIL with a specific, actionable list of what's wrong so the implementer can address it directly — vague feedback is not acceptable.
</instruction>
</instruction_set>
# [ALLOWED]: What You May Use

<item>
Reading the current diff, this spec, and the reviewers' verdict, and making exactly one commit when the spec is fully satisfied.

# [PROHIBITED]: Never Do This
<prohibited>
<rule>
Pushing, under any circumstances.
</rule>
<rule>
Committing an empty diff.

Editing files to fix the diff yourself — fail it back to the implementer instead.

# [INSTRUCTIONS]: Execution Logic
<instruction_set>
<instruction>
Attack the current diff against this spec — nothing else:
{{spec_content}}
</instruction>
<instruction>
Hunt for what a friendly review misses: spec lines with no corresponding change, edge cases the code ignores, error paths that are untested or silently swallowed, tests that cannot fail, and changes the spec never asked for.
</instruction>
<instruction>
If you find any defect, however small, report FAIL with a specific, actionable list of every flaw so the implementer can address each one directly — vague feedback is not acceptable.
</instruction>
<instruction>
Report PASS only when the diff is correct, complete, and minimal against the spec, and say briefly what you tried to break.

README
single-committer
What this graph is for: the spec loop with a harder review bar. Two reviewers — one constructive, one adversarial — must both pass before a single committer makes the final check and lands exactly one commit. Only the committer commits. Every failure routes back to the implementer for another attempt.
Nodes in order:
start-check(check) — refuses a dirty worktree before anything runs.lock-repo(check) — takes the repo lock for this spec.implementer(agent) — implements exactly the spec; never commits.full-gates(check) — the deterministic gates (installer placeholder).reviewers(parallel ensemble, no commit rights) — member 1 reviews constructively, member 2 reviews adversarially; both must pass.committer(agent, commit rights) — final check against the spec plus the reviewers' verdict, then exactly one commit.commit-check(check) — proves a commit landed since the spec started.unlock(check) — releases the repo lock.human-verdict(check) — waits up to 24h for a human verdict file; anything but approval routes back to the implementer.
Fail edges: full-gates, the reviewers quorum, committer,
commit-check, and human-verdict all route fail back to
implementer.
What the installer must fill in:
- Harness: every agent node and ensemble member carries no
platform/model— bind one per agent node (implementer,committer) and per reviewer member at install time. - Gate command:
full-gatesis a failing placeholder. Replace it with the project's deterministic gates (formatter, linter, tests). - Workdir: point the installed graph at the repository it should run in.
- Verdict file: a human approves by writing a line containing
VERDICT: APPROVEDto.canopy/verdictin the workdir; any other content (e.g.VERDICT: REJECTEDplus notes) sends the spec back to the implementer.
The commit check uses the {{spec_start_head}} form. For the stronger
"this run's own committer landed a commit" check — immune to a
concurrent commit from outside the run — switch it to:
test -n "{{spec_committed_head}}" && test "$(git rev-parse HEAD)" = "{{spec_committed_head}}"
