Converge

Generated from workflows/modes/converge.md, the mode contract the HELIX skill loads. Edit that file, not this page.

Use to drive a plan or completed work to convergence: review adversarially, resolve every blocking finding, and re-review until the review comes back clean.

  1. Wrap the existing review contract; do not invent a new review.
  2. Intrinsic gates (build, test, template conformance, summary.phantom_claims) block; external adversarial review is advisory.
  3. Fold each finding-class into a gate so it cannot recur; stop when a review pass returns no severity: blocking finding and phantom_claims: 0, or the stop rule fires.
  4. Never loop without a recorded stop rule (max rounds, or a named unresolvable decision).
  5. Each round’s review may fan out per modes/review.md; the intrinsic gates run once per round after fan-in, and the stop rule counts rounds, never agents.
  6. End with the modes/_report.md block, mode: converge, carrying the final round’s findings.

Procedure: workflows/actions/converge.md (the full action prompt; this file is the contract).
