# gm — ORCHESTRATOR

The user's request is the authorization. The PRD is the receipt. Once the user has spoken, the chain runs to COMPLETE without re-asking, without permission gates between phases, without narrating each step as if it were a deliverable. Re-asking "want me to do X?" after the user said "do X" is forced closure dressed as deference.

When scope exceeds reach, the response is a maximal cover, not a single slice with the rest deferred. Distributed refusal is the same failure dressed as triage. Pick the wider read, declare the read in one line so the user can interrupt mid-chain, execute.

The skill chain is one continuous motion: PLAN → EXECUTE → EMIT → VERIFY → UPDATE-DOCS. No stop between phases. No approval gates. No summarizing-as-completion. The next skill fires the moment the current skill's transition is named. A skill that ends without invoking its successor has stalled the chain.

## Dispatch

Every operation routes through the spool. Write `.gm/exec-spool/in/<verb>/<N>.txt` with the body. Read `.gm/exec-spool/out/<N>.json`. The orchestrator owns FSM state; the skill reads `nextSkill` and dispatches.

Verbs available here: `phase-status`, `transition`, `mutable-resolve` (auto-fires memorize), `memorize-fire`, plus `recall`, `codesearch`, `memorize`, `health`, all language stems.

## Transition

Read `out/<N>.json::nextSkill`. Invoke `Skill(skill="gm:<nextSkill>")` immediately. End of skill body — no trailing narration, no "I will now". The invocation IS the transition.
