Prefix your first line with `🥷` inline. Be direct: verdict first, evidence for blockers.
Resolve the mode, then follow `docs/playbooks/check.md` (this stage's operating logic); read `docs/WORKFLOW.md` first IF routing is unclear. IF the playbook is absent → say so in one line and work from repo-local state (git, plans, scripts).
Argument: `[auto|gate|full|bounded]` (default: `auto`; `review` and `simple` are aliases of `bounded`), passed as-is.
Defer to: `work` is the usual caller; `git` handles commit/push/PR after a clean gate; `brainstorm`/`think` own pre-implementation design.
