## What it does

The skill starts after `/age`, a failed validation or a request to resolve specific review findings. Input can be an `/age` slug, a pasted findings list, a CI failure summary or a scoped fix instruction. It reads `.cheese/age/<slug>.md`, adopts a locked selection from `/age` or `/affinage`, and falls back to the recommended composite in `references/selection.md` when there is none.

Fixes go one logical group at a time. Each `recommendation:` is implemented as the locked decision; disagreement goes under `### Deferred`. Then the narrowest test that proves the fix runs, followed by the project gates: lint, type checks, builds. When the handoff carries a `baseline:` block, identical baseline failures do not block a clean cure — only new or changed failures need fixing.

Behavioral fixes get a fresh-context taste test over the cure diff. If fresh-context isolation is unavailable, the skill halts. Flags change the flow: `--safe` restores the selection gate and the final publication gate, `--auto` skips user selection and requires `--stake <floor>`, `--open-pr` lets `/plate` publish when no PR exists. The skill dispatches agents, so agent resolution has to be configured in the project.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill cure -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cure/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cure/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill cure -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cure/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill cure -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cure/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install paulnsorensen/easy-cheese cure
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cure/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill cure -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --path skills/cure
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cure/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill cure -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/paulnsorensen/easy-cheese/tree/HEAD/skills/cure/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- resolve selected findings from an /age report
- fix a CI failure from its summary
- run lint, type checks and builds after a fix
- separate new gate failures from known baseline ones
- taste-test a behavioral fix in a fresh context

## Example prompts
- /cure age-report-slug
- /cure --auto --stake high
- /cure --safe --open-pr

# /cure

Use this skill after `/age`, failed validation, or a request to fix selected review findings.

## Phase entry

Run `python3 skills/cure/scripts/cure.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

Accept an `/age` slug, a pasted findings list, a CI failure summary, or a scoped fix instruction.

After phase entry, `/cure <slug>` reads `.cheese/age/<slug>.md`.

Adopt a locked selection from `/age` or `/affinage`.
The canonical format is in `references/selection.md#handoff-from-age`.
Otherwise, apply the recommended composite from `references/selection.md`.
That file also defines the selection gate conditions.

For an older report that omits finding fields, read `references/selection.md` § Older report shape.

Optional flags:

- `--safe` — Restore the selection gate and the final publication gate.
- `--open-pr` — Permit `/plate` to publish when no PR exists.
- `--auto` — Use automatic mode from `/cook --auto`.
  Skip user selection.
  Require `--stake <floor>`.
- `--stake <floor>` — Set the severity floor for `--auto`.
  Accept `blocker`, `high`, `medium+`, or `all`.
  Ignore this flag without `--auto`.
- `--hard` — Pass the metacognitive gate flag to `/plate`.

Read `references/selection.md` for selection rules.

Read [`harness-portability.md`](../cheese/references/harness-portability.md) for portability rules.
Slash commands are host renderings, not the control model.

## Flow

1. **Load.** Read `handoff_context.source_report` first when the handoff supplies it.
   Confirm that the file exists and belongs to the named `source_skill`.
   Stop with `status: halt: unreadable source report` when this check fails.
   Read `.cheese/age/<slug>.md` when the handoff supplies only a slug.
   Take the typed path only when the handoff also supplies a `CurdPlan`.
   Call `validate_curd_plan` on that plan.
   Stop before dispatch when the plan or its digest is invalid.
   Do not rebuild a plan from a legacy manifest.
   Take the report path in every other case.
2. **Select.** Adopt a locked selection from `/age` or `/affinage`.
   Otherwise, apply the recommended composite.
```
