# Gaia Curate

Read [CURATION-CORE.md](CURATION-CORE.md). This skill is discovery-only and processes one manually selected source page with at most five candidates.

1. Fetch the page and record its canonical URL, retrieval time, source lane, and source-native trend signals. Do not treat popularity as trust.
2. For each candidate, fetch a real upstream `SKILL.md`. Reject/defer a listing that cannot resolve to one. Parse non-empty `name` and `description` frontmatter; preserve host repository, cited origin/attribution, commit SHA when available, and SHA-256 content hash.
3. Normalize one candidate, exact-dedupe by canonical URL/content hash, then persist the complete JSON output of `gaia dev list --generic --json` before worker dispatch. Preserve it in the generic snapshot receipt; every mapping option must appear in the same separately supplied snapshot. Offer at most three mapping options plus the bounded `NEW_GENERIC` and `UNSURE` paths; `UNSURE` is recorded as `DEFER`.
4. Emit one `discovery-packet-v2` decision using `MAP`, `NEW_GENERIC`, `DUPLICATE`, `NOT_A_SKILL`, or `DEFER`, and validate it with [scripts/validate_discovery_packet.py](scripts/validate_discovery_packet.py) plus `--generic-snapshot <saved-cli-output.json>`. A `DUPLICATE` must repeat the candidate's canonical URL or content hash exactly. Use Yggdrasil II `basic|fusion` only for an L4-reviewable proposal; do not ask workers for legacy branches or stars. The validator retains v1 read compatibility, but v1 is not normative for new output.
5. Write the validated V2 packet to `registry-for-review/discovery-packets/`, present the L4 human shortlist, and stop. A shortlist is not registry acceptance. Only after L4 may the human append the schema-defined `l4Resolution` (vendor-neutral generic identity, named identity, and exact upstream `blob/.../SKILL.md` URL) and hand the resolved packet to `gaia push --from-file <packet.json>`. Never infer those fields from a candidate slug or listing URL.

Never gather or score evidence, assign manual grades/classes, calculate TM, calibrate stars, mutate registry files, regenerate docs, commit, push, or open a PR.
