BUREAU packages 11 commands — including init, concept, build, qa, slop, review and auto — in one skill folder across four hosts, and its author argues a model asked for a page with no direction \"returns the centre of everything it has seen,\" which the review circuit is built to reject.", "body_md": "**Job: BUREAU** v7.10.0, MITLine guide of 2026-10-27Agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Hermes\n\n# Brief to launch,ten gates thatcan say no.\n\n**BUREAU gives a coding model the workflow of a design bureau:** concept, art direction, type, motion, accessibility, and a review circuit. Every page rides the same line, and the Tribunal can send it back.\n\n- pattern rules in the detector\n- 32\n- project checks beside them\n- 21\n- gates before a Tribunal\n- 10\n- hosts, one skill folder\n- 4\n\nProof\n\n## Every page gets a proof.\n\nThe detector marks a generic generated page in red pencil, with the same rules the command line runs. Flip to the reviewed version, or proof this page.\n\nArgument\n\n## A model draws the average. An editor marks it.\n\nAsked for a page with no direction, a model returns the centre of everything it has seen. That is not a prompt problem; it is a missing idea, a missing point of view and a missing review.\n\n**Concept before pixels.** Three directions that truly differ, each a blend of three designers on three axes, built from a survey of five verified references. No code before an idea, an emotional target and a world.\n\n**Craft with limits you can check.** Type, colour, composition and motion each have a reference and a budget; scripts measure what can be measured, from contrast and overflow to fingerprint divergence.\n\n**A review that can refuse.** Ten gates in order, evidence on every line, a ten-minute jury and a Tribunal in a fresh context. Invented proof, fake sends and hidden content fail whatever the score.\n\nCircuit\n\n## Ten gates. One Tribunal.\n\nEach gate scores 0 to 5 against its weight; any gate under 3.5, any P0 or any missing evidence fails the release. Changing a source file makes every later gate stale.\n\n**90+** Award Track\n\n**82–89** Pass\n\n**72–81** Conditional\n\n**< 72** Fail\n\n**Judge before you measure.** The design review is written before anyone reads the detector's output.\n\n**The builder is the weakest reviewer.** The Tribunal reads the work in a fresh context, or the run is declared degraded and cannot reach Award Track.\n\n**Ten minutes for the jury.** Ten to fifteen independent reviewers vote on every gate and every Law of UX; the best round inside the time box stands.\n\nCommands\n\n## Call it by what you need.\n\nType `/bureau` and a command, or ask in plain language; the router picks the command and loads only the references it needs.\n\n| Command | What it does | Leaves on disk | \n|---|---|---|\n| /bureau init | Writes the brief: audience, offer, sourced proof, non-goals. | `BUREAU.md` ,`config.json` | \n| /bureau concept | Five-source survey, three directions, a blend for each, three comps. | `survey.json` ,`decision.md` | \n| /bureau direction | Normative tokens, type specimen, colour in context. | `DESIGN.md` | \n| /bureau build | The real page, then seven refinement passes. | `refinement.md` | \n| /bureau motion | Five awarded motion references, then the grammar. | `MOTION.md` | \n| /bureau qa | Screenshots, contrast, overflow, fold and performance at five widths. | `.bureau/qa/` | \n| /bureau slop | The detector you are watching, with fixes. | `audit.json` | \n| /bureau review | Ten gates, Delivery Gate, jury, Tribunal. | `scorecard.html` | \n| /bureau figma | Variables and frames to code, or an honest fallback. | `tokens` | \n| /bureau ship | Copy and claims check, metadata, launch list. | `launch-checklist.md` | \n| /bureau auto | All of it, stopping at three human checkpoints. | everything above | \n\nShowCase\n\n## Four studios that do not exist.\n\nEach was built with the skill from a blend of three designers and given a phone composition of its own.
