name: titan-closeout
description: Close a Titan service-cohort session with role, risk, provenance, gate, verification, and next-owner summary. Use when a Titan service-cohort route needs this explicit bounded step. Do not use for hidden background agents, silent mutation, unreviewed proof sovereignty, or memory canonization without owner confirmation.
license: Apache-2.0
compatibility: Designed for Codex or similar coding agents with repository file access and an interactive shell. Network access is optional and only needed when repository validation or referenced workflows require it.

titan-closeout
Intent
Use this skill at the end of a Titan service-cohort session to close the local receipt without claiming final owner truth.
Trigger boundary
Use this skill when:
- a Titan receipt is ready to close
- Atlas, Sentinel, and Mneme posture needs one summary
- Forge or Delta gates were used and need visible closeout
Do not use this skill when:
- the session has no receipt
- closeout would replace owner-repo validation
- memory candidates are being promoted without owner confirmation
- receipt path
- operator summary
- gates used
- validation evidence
- memory candidates and owner-route hints
Outputs
- closed receipt or closeout packet
- role and boundary summary
- gate summary
- verification status
- next owner-repo action
Procedure
- load the active receipt, gate, ledger, console, and memory-candidate refs
- summarize Atlas route, Sentinel risk, and Mneme provenance state
- separate completed validation from remaining owner-repo review
- record whether Forge or Delta ever crossed their gates and with what evidence
- emit the next-owner summary without promoting candidate memory or proof claims
Contracts
- The skill is explicit-only and must not be invoked as hidden background behavior.
- Titan role, helper/control-plane, runtime implementation, memory, proof, and public-runbook authority stays in owner repositories: aoa-agents, aoa-sdk, abyss-stack, aoa-memo, aoa-evals, and 8Dionysus.
- Receipts, bridge ledgers, console state, replay artifacts, approval records, and memory records are witnesses or candidates, not final owner truth.
- Forge mutation and Delta judgment gates must remain distinct, operator-visible, and receipt-linked.
- Missing source refs, missing approval, missing validation, or unclear owner route must be named as stop conditions.
Risks and anti-patterns
- treating Titan vocabulary as permission to widen authority
- letting receipt, replay, console, or bridge state replace owner-repo evidence
- auto-approving Forge or Delta because a plan looks plausible
- promoting candidate memory, approvals, replay, or receipts into canon without owner review
- using the skill for an ordinary repo task that has no explicit Titan route
Verification
- confirm direct skill invocation or explicit Titan service-cohort request is present
- confirm lane, gate, source refs, and owner surface are named when relevant
- confirm Forge or Delta locked or allowed state matches recorded approval evidence
- confirm generated artifacts are marked witness, candidate, derived, or advisory rather than final truth
- confirm next validation, replay, repair, or owner-route follow-up is named before continuation

Adaptation points
- Extract a Titan-specific reusable technique into aoa-techniques only after repeated reviewed evidence exists; do not add pending IDs as placeholders.
- Keep repo-local command examples in owner docs or examples rather than hard-coding them into skill law.
- If a Titan surface graduates from scaffold to reviewed or evaluated, add review evidence before changing status.
