Tend

/tend — the sheets stay true, and the aim stays high

Operator 2026-10-20, verbatim: "how can we make a skill that uses /steer to go through all sheets and keep them reasonable and consistent (with the best possible, to the limit aggressive) outcome.."

The two forces held together: reasonable and consistent means every number, date and status on a sheet is one the record holds. To the limit aggressive means the aim line (kind aim in docs/specs/vna/days180-events.json) is the target the work is measured against. An aim is never lowered to fit the evidence. When the evidence trails an aim, the gap becomes a row that closes it. An aim moves only on his word.

What the pass is for: coherence on three axes, then the skim (operator 2026-10-24)

Verbatim: "make things more cohesive, coherence and consistent across time scales and across categories … think of the skill command as a way to create coherence and then skim the cream of the Top with the flow chart."

• Across time scales. Every row names the horizon it serves (→ H-NN), and the Horizons chain runs backwards from 1000 years to today with no gap (R2). A row naming no horizon has no question it is sufficient for (AXIOM 1 W6): the pass names it, never ranks it.
• Across categories. A ticket is formulated in ONE place, its HOME (the sheet whose ID column carries it, or the spec), and every other sheet shows it by id and links home. Never a second copy of its text (P1, P6). A ticket ticked at home leaves every NOW sheet in the same pass.
• The skim. The cream is the open threads with the widest reach across categories and the nearest horizon. It feeds THE TOP, where START HERE's flowchart ends (F-14, ≤10 decision-ready rows, C1030). The cream is read off the threads, never chosen by feel.
• His words leave the sheet in the same pass that acts on them. A held word (its row STUCK, open or never declared) is listed with its gate, and this pass works that row itself: it edits the source, ticks the row with its commit, then closes the word to the Log. A STUCK row is never left for a runner that already refused it twice.
