Run the tests-only adversarial gate after `/cook`. Route bounded corrective Cook continuations. Use this skill when the user says "press the changes", "harden this", "press before /age", or "/press". Do not edit production code. Do not dispatch a global Cook repair from Press.

/press Press is the adversarial pass that Cook dispatches inside its Press loop. /press <slug stays callable for a manual re run. It reports a GREEN pass to /age and a finding or coverage gap to Cook. Press never edits production code. Cook owns the implementation and first acceptance coverage. Press attacks the approved contract and reports each defect it exposes. Phase entry Run python3 skills/press/scripts/press.pyz wheypoint resolve ref <slug . authoritative uses the record; its working context is the first batched tilth read . not found proceeds cold; legacy shows its source and slug, then proceeds. gated , ambiguous , and error stop and show the payload. Show advisory stale commit and grounded path missing findings. Keep its record.revision id as <base ([§ Base revision](../cheese/references/handback contract.md base revision)). Inputs Cook dispatches Press automatically after its taste test on behavior work, so no invocation is needed. For a manual re run, Press accepts this invocation and hands off to Age on GREEN: After phase entry, Press reads .cheese/cook/<slug .md for the Cook handoff. auto selects the autonomous chain. See Auto mode . hard requests the optional final gate. Press forwards this flag to Age. open pr is publication permission. Only the user supplies it. Press forwards this flag to Age. Press never adds it. Press preserves the Cook durable flags: value without change. Press ignores the Cook taste test: value. Adversarial loop Ask one question: "Can the user's original complaint still occur while every test passes?" Select ONE relevant false success attack, not all four. Record the question, the attack, and why it threatens the claim. Confirm the acceptance check rejects that case. [ references/gap analysis.md ](references/gap analysis.md) lists the attacks and the evidence sequence. Press does not write first coverage. When it is missing, Press reports coverage gap . Replay the same attack after each Cook correction, with the same attack and test digest. Invalid evidence and a production tree change stop the run. The outcome table defines the caps. Press has no global dispatch: /cook action. Baseline aware gates Press preserves baseline aware readiness for project gates. The Cook baseline: line names one artifact. That artifact holds the settled state. Read the artifact through the baseline: path. Do not re flag a failure when its test and signature match the artifact. New or changed failures block the route. See [ ../cook/references/quality gates.md ](../cook/references/quality gates.md). Also see [ references/gap analysis.md ](references/gap analysis.md). Flow 1. Read — Load the approved spec, Cook handoff, and baseline block. Use canonical terms from .cheese/glossary/<slug .md when that file exists. 2. Inspect — Read the acceptance check before you add tests. 3. Attack — Add or run only adversarial tests. Do not change production paths. 4. Classify — Select green , finding , coverage gap , invalid evidence , or production changed . 5. Report — Write .cheese/press/<slug .md . Include the question, the selected attack, why it threatens the claim, the attempts, evidence, and review follow ups. 6. Hand off — Send GREEN to /age . Send a finding or coverage gap to Cook. Use [ code intelligence routing.md ](../cheese/references/code intelligence routing.md) for source changes. Use [ ../cheese/references/harness portability.md ](../cheese/references/harness portability.md) for portability. The reference states that slash commands are host renderings, not the control model. Press reports one readiness value. Map ready for /age to status: ok and next: age . Map follow up recommended to status: ok with concerns: <concern and next: age . Use this status for a GREEN pass that also records a review follow up. Age owns each recorded concern. Map finding to status: ok with concerns: <defect and next: cook . Map coverage gap to status: ok with concerns: coverage gap: <gap and next: cook . Map blocked to status: halt: <reason and next: done . blocked means invalid evidence or a production change. Auto mode auto runs the same adversarial loop. It also selects the next phase without a user prompt. Dispatch /age <slug auto after ready for /age or follow up recommended . Add hard when the user supplied it. Add open pr when the user supplied it. Stop after blocked , halt: correction cap , or halt: coverage gap . Do not dispatch Age. Honor the no chain directive when the caller supplies it. Write the Press handoff and stop. Do not start another phase. Cook's fan pathway owns this directive. The retired /ultracook orchestrator previously owned it. Test for the directive itself. Do not test for the source name. See [ ../cook/references/auto mode.md ](../cook/references/auto mode.md). Output Write .cheese/press/<slug .md at each Press result. Write the file with python3 skills/press/scripts/press.pyz write handoff artifact ; include one or more grounded <path[ start end] arguments. Use the canonical preamble: The handback contract defines the status: grammar. The preamble accepts no other keys. Put every Press value in the report body. artifact: names the consumed Cook report. Do not put attack evidence on this line. baseline: names the one artifact that Cook recorded. See [ ../cook/references/quality gates.md ](../cook/references/quality gates.md). Write these body sections under the preamble: Attempts — one row for each attempt. Give the attempt number and outcome. Evidence — the stable attack identity, the test digest, and the failing test for a finding. Review follow ups — each out of contract concern. Write none when the run records no concern. Age reads this section. Map the outcome to the terminal preamble: outcome status next GREEN ok age GREEN with a recorded concern ok with concerns: <concern age finding (an attack test exposes a defect) ok with concerns: <defect cook coverage gap ok with concerns: coverage gap: <gap cook second coverage gap in one Cook run halt: coverage gap done invalid evidence or production change ( blocked ) halt: <reason done third finding on the same attack halt: correction cap done sixth Press round that does not end green halt: press round limit done next: done is terminal. It never starts another phase. A next: cook handoff is a Cook correction ( correction = true ), for a finding or a coverage gap . Press then replays or reruns the same attack. Cook counts the rounds. Cook passes the round number and attack identity in the dispatch. Press emits halt: correction cap or halt: coverage gap only from that round number. A manual /press <slug run reads prior rounds from .cheese/press/<slug .md . references/gap analysis.md holds the caps, including the 6 round press round limit . Handoff Pipeline: culture → mold → cook (⇄ press) → age → cure → plate When Cook dispatched Press, return the handoff to Cook and stop. After a manual GREEN re run, use the shared [handoff gate](../cheese/references/handoff gate.md). Start the review with /age <slug . After a finding or coverage gap , hand off to Cook with the failing test or the gap named in the report. Forward hard , auto , and open pr to /age when the caller supplied them. Never add open pr . Rules Do not edit production code, production fixtures, or production adapters. Do not change the attack between replays. Do not treat out of contract behavior as an implementation request. Record it under Review follow ups . Report the run as ok with concerns on a GREEN pass. Preserve baseline aware readiness. Discipline Press uses evidence first. An unverified failure is not a finding. Name the outcome before each handoff decision. Name the attack digest. Stop if one value is missing. Do not guess.
