# tp-definition

## Runtime Contract

Use the returned `continuation.runtime_contracts` after `skill_continuation`. If absent, load
`../../meta/contracts/tp-definition.md` and `../../meta/contracts/gate-artifact-preparation.md`
through the supplied contract reader or bundled files.
Missing contract or invalid binding: stop. This skill owns TP content; gate-check owns readiness.

`instruction_only`: first load `../../meta/contracts/task-target-resolution.md` and `../../meta/contracts/interaction.md`.

<!-- AGDF-REQUEST-ACTIVATION-GUARD:START -->
## Request Activation

- `owner`: `request_activation_contract`
- `path`: `meta/contracts/request-activation.md`
- `policy_version`: `1`
- `guard_fingerprint`: `sha256:af2f01f9e18a3ba1c520faf0691aa1cd4a4299bdfa027cf83651c5d14319bfdc`

Decide effect from loaded instructions before AGDF action.

Abstain silently (no AGDF call) for assessment/explanation/comparison/recommendation/review/diagnosis/advice; hypothetical/example/error/code/quoted/negated delivery language; AGDF as subject; or a read-only constraint absent other delivery. Ambiguity is read-only: answer or ask one neutral question.

Activate for any requested file/code change however small, a binding gate artefact, explicit AGDF/control-lifecycle operation or unambiguous active-run action; delivery wins mixed intent.

Invocation proof: explicit user text/trusted ephemeral action, not discovery/selection, skill load, hooks, cwd, repo/control or prior runs.

Then pick one catalog route; non-authorizing, downstream checks remain.

## Executable Dispatch

Use listed MCP `agdf_dispatch` (load deferred; host prefix allowed): `skill_id` `tp-definition`, `presentation_language`, `working_directory`, and only bound `target_source`/`primary_target` and `run_id`. Never search unlisted tools.
If absent/failing: supplied schema-2 executable, child-only environment, immutable argv_prefix, declared arguments; `--skill tp-definition`, language and working directory.
For `--language`: Required presentation language for the latest natural-language user request as one well-formed BCP 47 tag. If the request explicitly asks for a response language, use that tag; otherwise use the dominant request language. Use en when mixed or ambiguous. A valid unsupported tag renders through the complete English pack. Missing or invalid input fails before governance evaluation.
`target_source`: `explicit_target` if request names `primary_target`; `continued_target` if it unambiguously continues confirmed target; `current_repository` if request names this/current repo with one matching repo active. Otherwise omit the pair; cwd has no target authority.
Quote shell values as data.
For a result with `terminal: true`, the entire assistant response must consist only of host_action.text, copied verbatim. Add no question, explanation, heading, citation, link or other surrounding text; do not translate or reformat it; invoke no later tool and stop.
On skill_continuation use only its target/control. Without that tool and a valid binding: `dispatcher_unavailable`; no runtime search, environment repair
or help retries. Dispatch never authorizes.

## Workflow

Follow the focused TP contract using the original request and answered conversation context.
Write only the supplied unapproved TP from approved PRD/SD and analyses, preserving uncertainty and explicit human approval.
After canonical recording, redispatch gate-check; use its fresh presentation and wait.
