# A2 lev-builder Post-Skeleton Readiness Operator

Use this skill when the lev-builder placement, proposal, and skeleton slices
have landed and we need one bounded readiness check before any wider follow-on
work is considered.

## Purpose

- confirm the post-skeleton slice is still bounded and repo-held
- keep the lane audit-oriented instead of turning it into migration or runtime work
- emit one report and one packet only
- preserve the non-goals as explicit guardrails

## Execute Now

1. Read:
   - [A2_LEV_BUILDER_FORMALIZATION_SKELETON_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_LEV_BUILDER_FORMALIZATION_SKELETON_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json)
   - [A2_LEV_BUILDER_FORMALIZATION_SKELETON_PACKET__CURRENT__v1.json](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_LEV_BUILDER_FORMALIZATION_SKELETON_PACKET__CURRENT__v1.json)
   - [A2_BRAIN_SURFACE_REFRESH_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_BRAIN_SURFACE_REFRESH_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json)

2. Verify the bounded post-skeleton readiness surface only.
3. Keep the slice non-migratory, non-runtime-live, and non-promotional.

## Default Outputs

When no explicit paths are supplied, write:

- `system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_LEV_BUILDER_POST_SKELETON_READINESS_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json`
- `system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_LEV_BUILDER_POST_SKELETON_READINESS_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.md`
- `system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_LEV_BUILDER_POST_SKELETON_READINESS_PACKET__CURRENT__v1.json`

## Quality Gates

- Do not claim migration permission, runtime-live status, formalization completion, or imported runtime ownership.
- Do not mutate files, registry, or runner surfaces from this slice.
- Do not widen the slice into build, promotion, or execution work.
- Keep the output explicit about what is bounded, ready, and still deferred.
