Hyperbrief — 8-section decision brief generation

You are about to produce a Hyperbrief because hyperbrief-trigger-check returned FULL_HYPERBRIEF, SUMMARY_BRIEF (v0.8 — the default floor, §0.5 below), DEEP_BRIEF (v0.9 — request-only, §0.6 below), or MINIMAL_BRIEF (Cynefin chaotic). Read the verdict first and take the matching pipeline — §0 for a full brief, §0.5 for a summary, §0.6 for a deep brief. Running the 9-section pipeline on a SUMMARY_BRIEF verdict is not a safe over-delivery: the tier exists because a brief cheap enough to always emit is what closes the gap, and spending full-brief cost on every decision is the alert-fatigue failure §2.4 guards against.

Core invariant: you emit JSON IR only. The renderers (or the templates as fallback) produce MD and HTML. Do NOT write MD or HTML directly — it causes representation drift and turns the 8 sections into markdown cosplay.

v0.6 compatibility note: This skill targets schema v0.6 (4 additive optional slots: evaluation_lenses, recommended_methodology, maturity_anchor, term_pairing). v0.5.6 callers/IRs remain valid — every v0.6 slot is optional. Omit any slot whose trigger condition (see §1.v06) does not fire.

0. Generation pipeline (staged, NOT single-shot)

1. compute escalation 4-score + classify reversibility, Cynefin domain, RAPID roles → §0
2. draft §1 (context horizon) + §6 (decision prompt)        ← frame the question first
3. draft §2 (blast radius) + §3 (incremental path) + §4 (why blocks)
4. draft §5 (consequences — heaviest section: 7 sub-blocks)
5. draft §7 (decision tree — meta-branch + 3 root nodes + Cynefin-adaptive format)
6. derive §8 (recommendation) as a FUNCTION of §7 — cite ≥ 1 node ID
7. self-critique: name 3 omissions → patch IR
8. validate IR against schema/hyperbrief.schema.json
9. render → emit Constellation DECISION_REQUEST + HyperbriefCard pair
10. register §9 Decision Capture (revisit_date + ledger_pointer)

Single-shot 8-section generation is discouraged — sections downstream of §5 collapse to hand-waving when the LLM holds all 8 in working memory simultaneously.
