What problem does it solve? Delegated gate questions pile up waiting for an owner or steward to rule on them, blocking work. This Skill automates the steward-gate ruling pass: when gate-tagged question items fire, it reads the delegation brief, rules within recorded bounds, and answers each item without overstepping authority. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bounded ruling pass: Reads ~/steward-handoff-brief.md for delegation bounds and artifact maps, then rules on each matched gate question only within that recorded delegation. - Additive artifact rulings: Appends each ruling to the must-read artifact's RULING section (additive-only) and answers the item with a decision summary shaped by the owner-briefing standard. - Authority guardrails: Parks owner-level decisions (scope changes, spending, new authority) as attention-flagged notes and enforces a binding never-list against approving manifests, judging memory claims, or editing others' items. - Use Case: A steward seat inherits delegation from a human steward; when gate-tagged questions arrive, the Skill rules on conformance and price-tag checks, notifies the asker via bus message, and escalates anything outside delegation. ## Quick Start Trigger the steward-gate automation when gate-tagged question items fire and have it rule on each matched item within the recorded delegation bounds.
