tmp

One turn. Author from this session (email/script/note). Write once. Recap the absolute path. Stop.

Invocation

/tmp [what]

Empty $ARGUMENTS + no already-visible dumpable blob → need task. Empty + visible blob (code fence / draft) → dump that.

When

Dump a one-off convo artifact. Not /handoff (no pickup no Goal/State/Next). Not .tmp/grunt/plans/. Not .tmp/grunt/implementations/. Not product source. Not OS /tmp.

Path

.tmp/grunt/{serial}-{slug}-{YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ}.{ext}

• serial: unpadded int ≥ 1, next after existing tmp dumps (own counter; not plan/handoff/implementation serials)
• slug: lower, non [a-z0-9] → -, collapse, trim 50
• stamp: UTC YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ
• ext: TMP_EXT or explicit .{ext} in args; else md

Write

TMP_NAME: <3-6 word name>
TMP_EXT: md
<artifact only>

TMP_EXT optional. Write any root filename under .tmp/grunt/ (not plans|roadmaps|handoffs|implementations|browser|orchestrator-logs|stash|sessions). Grok orchestrate-parent.js runs .rulesync/scripts/persist-tmp.mjs: serial/slug/ext from TMP_*, strips those lines, no YAML frontmatter, rewrites path + content. Write outside that root or missing TMP_NAME: is denied.

Host without that hook: name the file per Path yourself, or pipe the body to node .rulesync/scripts/persist-tmp.mjs --workspace {repo} and use its absPath.

Never rewrite an existing dump; new serial. Artifact file content after hook = artifact only (no TMP_* lines no YAML frontmatter).

Report

[tmp]: serial={int} path={abs}/.tmp/grunt/{serial}-{slug}-{stamp}.{ext}

Do not dump the body.

Rules

• One write. /tmp is not a mode.
• Secrets/tokens: refuse dump. Text artifacts only; no binary.
• Protocol: .rulesync/reference/cascade.md. Do not paste it here.
