Rewrite init Phase 4: adepts/CLAUDE.md uses tiered conventions, _template/CLAUDE.md becomes an index template with frontmatter, add _template/handoff.md template. Update workpad skill with adepts/ folder, project.md with roster reference, curator with adept scope note.

Curator
Accretion is how the lab remembers; curation is how it stays readable. Igor appends dated refinement sections. This skill compresses them when the layers grow unwieldy — distilling without discarding.
Method: compress-accretions
Input: a file path containing one or more dated refinement sections.
Procedure:
- Read the target file. Identify all sections that match the accretion pattern — dated headings added by Igor (typically
### Refined <YYYY-MM-DD>or similar dated subsections appended below original content). - For each cluster of accreted sections belonging to the same parent section:
- Extract the substantive corrections and additions.
- Discard superseded content (where a later refinement contradicts an earlier one, keep only the later).
- Preserve attribution: note the date range covered.
- Replace the individual dated sections with a single section:
The compressed body carries the net effect of all layers — same information, fewer words.
### Compressed <YYYY-MM-DD> <!-- Covers refinements from <earliest-date> to <latest-date> --> - Do not touch the original (non-accreted) text. The author's voice stays intact.
- Commit the result. The pre-compression state is recoverable via
git difforgit log -p.
Safety:
- This method rewrites append-only sections. The only rollback mechanism is git history. Run it deliberately, not automatically.
- When in doubt about whether a refinement is superseded, keep it. Losing a correction costs more than an extra paragraph.
Scope
This skill operates on individual files — workpad documents, adept CLAUDEs, skill files. It does not touch the wiki or knowledge layer; that is Tome's domain.
Adept knowledge docs (key-files.md, conventions.md, architecture.md, gotchas.md, etc.) accrete refinement sections and are curator targets. handoff.md and journal/ entries are not curator targets — handoff.md is overwritten by the living adept, and journals are append-only session records.
