CCF Common

Family File Contract

Before writing, resolve the canonical output and one stable working directory per task/artifact. Reuse explicit or established task paths; otherwise use project-root ccfa-workfiles/<purpose>/<artifact-id>/, with source/, assets/, cache/, and build/ only as needed. Update current files in place; do not scatter intermediates or create iteration copies. Preserve inputs and required evidence; clean only verified disposable files created by this task. Use UTF-8 text I/O and check Chinese text after saving or rendering. For file work, apply artifact-contracts.md and reuse the same paths across skill transitions.

Collaboration Contract

Before applying these shared controls, activate ccf-humanization unless its baseline is already active. Apply this entry once, then continue specialist work; do not recursively re-enter either preflight. Reuse applicable rules across contributors.

Keep one integrating owner and actively use other skills to resolve missing prerequisites or check material findings. Reuse applicable evidence; do not skip necessary groundwork to save tokens. Before finalizing, integrate contributions and verify affected results. Follow the conditional cooperation routes; avoid unrelated stages and duplicate reports.

Core Rule

This is the shared control module activated before every CCFA specialist, after ccf-humanization. It sets the task's scope, integrating owner, relevant prerequisites, evidence boundaries, and file paths while specialist skills produce research deliverables. Applying these controls does not run the maintenance workflow or require a governance report.

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode and references/handoff-modes.md. On a direct invocation, ensure Humanization's baseline has been read before applying these controls. Do not recursively restart either preflight. Reuse applicable rules across contributors and read only the shared references needed for the current decision.

Family Preflight

Resolve the requested result, scope/permissions, integrating owner, and missing or reusable prerequisites. Use references/routing.md for collaboration and references/handoff-modes.md for transitions. Apply evidence/privacy rules when handling sources or private material, artifact rules before file work, and review standards when assessing. Reuse loaded rules and known paths; create no intake form or state file merely to activate this skill. Continue the specialist task once the applicable controls are established. Reserve the maintenance workflow below for actual family-maintenance requests.

Shared Controls

Load only the references needed for the current preflight decision or maintenance task:

• references/routing.md: Use to resolve which CCFA skill owns a request and to avoid trigger overlap.
• references/task-modes.md: Use for exploratory/quick/standard depth, authorization-aware continuation, selective context, host-supported parallel work, and GPT-6 adaptation.
• references/review-output-standards.md: Use to keep numeric scoring, multi-reviewer panels, score-change conditions, and visible output quality consistent.
• references/handoff-modes.md: Use to interpret metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode.
• references/privacy-and-evidence.md: Use when handling manuscripts, reviews, rebuttals, private drafts, literature searches, or evidence claims.
• references/source-registry.yaml: Use as the shared source inventory for venue rules, review methods, exemplar records, and research-workflow references.
• references/ccf-a-venue-map.md: Use when a non-writing skill needs venue-family mapping without depending on ccf-paper-writer.
• references/skill-trigger-registry.yaml: Use as the canonical trigger registry; compare descriptions and agent prompts with the same ownership boundaries.
• references/artifact-contracts.md: Use whenever a skill creates or revises files; it defines ownership, canonical paths, minimal intermediate-file generation, overwrite-in-place defaults, task-scoped cleanup, and required retained history.
• references/ccfa-yaml-contract.md: Use for the shared ccfa.yaml project-state schema.
