Gate presentation

Return the following gate constants verbatim to the team lead. Do not summarize or interpret — these are frozen SHAPE; the Gate Presentation transport contract in swarm:workflow-rules governs how they are rendered.

Gate Presentation Catalog

Setup gate — launch Step 2; generated workflow step 3.

• question: "How would you like to set up the team?" · header: "Setup"
• options: "Ultra — reliability (Recommended)" / "Auto-configure mode, team, and research. Full team on the stronger model — reliable rule-following." · "Balanced — lower cost" / "Same auto-config, but members run a cheaper model — less reliable rule-following."
• digest: none (no run values). preview: none.

Team gate — launch Step 4; generated workflow step 4.

• question: "Does this team look right? Suggested team: [for each member: name — 2–4-word role axis]." · header: "Team"
• options: "Yes, looks good" / "Proceed with this team composition" · "I want to adjust" / "Swap a member, add more members, or remove some"
• digest: the roster as handles — every member's name plus a 2–4-word axis compressed from its identity line (a compression, not the identity line itself).
• preview (same on both options): the full roster as formatted markdown — numbered, every member with its full one-line identity. The full identity lines live here only.

Plan gate — launch Step 7; generated workflow step 5; /swarm:refine Step 3.

• question: "Is this plan final, or do you have remaining inputs? [digest]" · header: "Confirm"
• options: "Launch the team" / "Plan is final — start creating the team now" · "I have changes" / launch variant: "Adjust outcomes, mode, members, tier, or research first." — refine variant: "Adjust outcomes first (roster and tier are fixed; the diff base cannot be changed from this prompt)."
• digest, launch variant (delta-forward): ship definition (one line — its first appearance); compressed outcomes line (adjustable here, so decision content); scope line only if the reflection fork kept a pin (Option A: "[their word] specifically"); then handles — name-only roster, cost tier token, mode.
• digest, refine variant: diff base first (the silently-inferred correctness pivot); PR state (URL or (no open PR detected)); when the base is the default-branch fallback, inline: no PR detected — diff base falls back to the repo's default branch (<resolved-default>). Verify before launch.; compressed outcomes line; scope line only if the reflection fork kept a pin (Option A); branch under review; the one-line diff stat. Fixed fields (mode, tier, roster, phase arc, ship definition) are not decision content here — preview only.
• preview (same on both options): elaboration only, never a restatement of the digest — the outcomes verbatim (numbered, exact confirmed wording), the full roster with identity lines, and (refine variant) the fixed fields and ship definition; plus the closing line Rules: Active. Fields the digest carries at their only fidelity (mode and tier tokens in the launch variant; the digest one-liners) do not repeat here.

Approve gate — every mode's Approve phase.

• question: "Does this [subject] look right?" — [subject] is fixed by the mode skill: approach (code, general), diagnosis (triage), direction (writing) · header: "Approve"
• options: "Yes, proceed" / "Approve the [subject] — the team proceeds to Execute" · "I have changes" / "Adjust the [subject] before the team proceeds"
• digest: none beyond the question — the synthesis is unsplittable verbatim content; a lead-authored compression would breach the verbatim-relay rule.
• preview (same on both options): the facilitator's CONVERGED synthesis verbatim. The main-window relay still happens per the phase arc (it is the scrollback record and the AFK projection's source); the preview is what makes the synthesis readable inside the modal.
• standalone-sufficiency carve-out: this gate's sufficiency source is the verbatim relay that immediately precedes the modal, not a digest — compressing the synthesis into the question would paraphrase it.
• declared AFK carrier: every re-emission of this gate (an AFK restatement, a pulse re-emission, post-compaction) re-carries the synthesis verbatim. The lead's same-turn AFK restatement reuses the just-relayed verbatim synthesis in context; a cross-turn re-emission (the pulse's, or post-compaction) re-reads it from the facilitator's on-disk transcript (the Team Lead disk-read rule) unconditionally — drift is a cross-turn property, and silent compaction drift defeats self-detection. On that cross-turn path, never reconstruct it from memory; if the disk read fails, do not fall back to an in-context copy — surface the failure once, then hold the gate.

Finish gate — code-mode Refine (the unified pre-ship gate).

• question: "9/10+ confidence reached. How should the team finish?" · header: "Finish"
• options (thoroughness-descending): "Recursive refinement + independent review (Recommended)" / "Run the 9.25→10 refinement ladder (drives completeness to the full scope of the outcome), then an independent review loop (drives out functional defects via an independent reviewer) after the PR is created." · "Recursive refinement only" / "Run the ladder; no independent review loop." · "Independent review loop only" / "Skip the ladder; run just the independent review loop after the PR is created." · "Ship as is" / "Proceed straight to Deliver with no further review."
• digest: none. preview: none.

Refine gate — general-mode and writing-mode Refine.

• question: "9/10+ confidence reached. Run recursive refinement?" · header: "Refine"
• options: "Run recursive refinement (9.25 → 9.5 → 9.75 → 10) (Recommended)" / "Mandatory to 10 once started — rung commits along the way." · "Deliver now" / "Skip the ladder and proceed to Deliver."
• digest: none. preview: none.

Terminal gate — Deliver's keep-open/shutdown handshake, after the pulse-delete.

• question: "The work is delivered. Keep the team open or shut it down?" · header: "Team"
• options: "Keep the team open" / "Teammates stay available for follow-up work in this session." · "Shut down the team" / "This answer is the explicit shutdown instruction — the lead runs the shutdown protocol."
• digest: none. preview: none.
