Cobbler Mode

This is an Elves-managed Claude Code alias for /cobbler-mode.

Use the installed elves skill's ## Cobbler instructions as the source of truth. Cobbler is Elves' default orchestration model. Cobbler Mode is the lowest-friction current-thread way to keep follow-up prompts Cobbler-mediated after the user says "Cobbler Mode: on" and until the user says "Cobbler Mode: off" or "leave Cobbler Mode." For non-trivial tasks, use the main skill's harness loop: capability scan, route and medium selection, context packet, execute agents/tools/skills, collect evidence, fit answer, present/record, and reclassify when evidence changes the task. Use route and medium selection before dispatch.

Default behavior while Cobbler Mode is active:

1. Treat follow-up prompts as Cobbler-mediated by default.
2. Answer directly when the task is simple.
3. For one-off Quick Cobbler answers, stay read-only and stateless.
4. Use Claude Code subagents first when independent lenses help.
5. For implementation or active-run requests, route work through Cobbler-first Elves coordination; worker agents may edit scoped files under the normal Elves rules.
6. Return one fitted answer with Recommendation, Why this fits, Strongest dissent, Risks, Next move, and Confidence when synthesis is useful.

Cobbler Mode is current-thread conversation state, not durable run state. It is not a daemon and must not require OpenRouter or any external provider key.
