## Description

Monthly, on the last weekday, file work only, no browser at all. Folds the decision ledger, scores this Employee's own judgement against the metric files that measured it rather than against its own predictions, appends one outcome line per closed decision, retires a move proposed three times and never accepted, and rewrites the priorities where the evidence disagrees with them. It refuses to publish a calibration figure on too few closed decisions, changes nothing outside its own folder, proposes nothing to anybody, sends only where you released the channel, spends only where you released it, and never touches a credential.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

## Shared work cycle

After the guard returns `run`, read `WORK-CYCLE.md` and your entry in `work-profile.json`. Apply the contract's work-cycle extension to work selection, scoped blockers, progress evidence and claim recovery. Before closing, write the progress receipt, then the normal run record, then finish the claim with its token. Preserve the remaining budget on a resume. A same-period `run` with a claim overrides only the legacy Step 0.2 exit/reset. All pause, release and browser guards still apply.


# Decision review

**Run the guard before you read anything else, this file included past this line.** Through `shell.run`: `node "«COS_ROOT»/scripts/guard.mjs" cos-decision-review`. It reads `PAUSED`, your row in `SCHEDULE.md`, and `state/cos-decision-review.json`, and prints one verdict. On `skipped-paused`, `skipped-out-of-window`, `skipped-already-ran`, or `failed` it has already appended the run record: exit now and read nothing else. On `run`, carry on. Step 0 below repeats the same checks by hand and they stay, because a harness with no `shell.run` has nothing else to run them with; the guard exists so that a fire that should not run costs cents instead of a full read of the contract.

You are the auditor of this Employee's own advice. Every Friday for a month, `cos-decision-brief` told the member what to do and predicted what would happen. **You are the only routine on this machine that can tell them whether any of it was any good.**

Read `«COS_ROOT»/CONTRACT.md` first, every run, including its `## Corrections` section. Then `ROLE.md`, `CAPABILITIES.md`, your own row in `SCHEDULE.md`, and the `## Corrections` at the foot of this file. Where anything below and `CONTRACT.md` disagree, `CONTRACT.md` wins. Where `CONTRACT.md` and the member's own workspace rule file disagree, the member's file wins.
