name: civ-finish-quotes description: Add a Civilization-style ceremonial quote when a substantial task is truly complete. Use this whenever the user or agent is wrapping up a real deliverable such as a feature, refactor, analysis, design doc, process change, report, or writing task, even if they do not explicitly ask for a quote; skip short replies, tiny fixes, and unfinished work.

Civ Finish Quotes

Use this skill as a final completion ritual after a real piece of work is finished.

This skill is for the last step of a substantial task, not for ordinary chat. It should feel like a Civilization technology or wonder completion line: brief, ceremonial, and anchored by a real quote with an author and source.

Compatibility

• requires local python3
• expects access to this skill directory, especially scripts/ and assets/quotes/approved_quotes.jsonl

Trigger Gate

Default behavior: trigger this skill for almost all task closures that produced a real result.

Use this lenient gate:

1. The work has some concrete output. Examples: code/doc updates, analysis conclusion, decision, plan, verification, checklist completion.
2. The work is presented as done for this turn. Examples: "finished", "completed", "done", "ready", "交付", "完成", "发布".

Only skip this skill for clear non-completion micro replies:

• casual replies
• tiny fixes
• a single command answer
• brainstorming that has not been implemented
• tasks that ended with uncertainty or partial progress

Runtime Flow

When the trigger gate passes:

1. Summarize the finished task into a small JSON payload.
2. Call the local render script.
3. If it returns no_match, say nothing extra and end normally.
4. If it returns ok, read quote_text and needs_translation.
5. If needs_translation=true, translate quote_text into the user's language in the final reply.
6. Compose the final ceremonial block in the user's language with a fixed divider line.

Hard Rules

• Never invent, paraphrase, or "write something quote-like" yourself.
• Only output a completion quote when the renderer returns status="ok".
• The final quote body must come from the renderer's returned quote_text.
• The attribution must come from the renderer's returned author and source_title.
• If the renderer returns no_match, do not add a fallback quote, a hand-written ceremonial line, or a pseudo-quote.

Request Payload

Use this structure:

{
  "task_summary": "Implemented the new quote selection pipeline and documented the curation flow.",
  "deliverable_type": "code",
  "completion_class": "engineering",
  "completion_mode": "build",
  "keywords": ["pipeline", "selection", "curation", "script"],
  "user_language": "zh-CN",
  "recent_quote_ids": []
}

Completion Classes

• science: analysis, investigation, model design, research, root-cause work
• engineering: implementation, refactor, tooling, architecture, shipping a system
• governance: process, policy, permissions, stability, ownership, organization
• art-thought: writing, naming, concept shaping, knowledge organization, design rationale

Completion Modes

• breakthrough
• build
• organization
• insight

Render Command

Run:

python3 ./scripts/render_finish_quote.py --library ./assets/quotes/approved_quotes.jsonl --input-json '<JSON_PAYLOAD>'

The renderer returns:

• {"status":"ok","id":"...","quote_text":"...","needs_translation":true|false,"author":"...","source_title":"...","divider":"----------","selection_mode":"ranked|fallback","selection_profile":{...},"match_reason":{...},"rejected_candidates":[...] }
• or {"status":"no_match"}

Notes:

• selection_mode=fallback means the request looked like a completed task, but keyword matching was sparse; the renderer still selected a domain/mode-consistent quote to reduce misses.
• The selector enforces a relevance floor; if relevance is too low it returns no_match.
• The renderer keeps a small local history file and tries to avoid reusing the same quote within a rolling 24-hour window when other good candidates exist.
• By default it tries to store that history in the user cache directory, and falls back to a repo-local .cache/ when the runtime cannot write there.
• For design-document style tasks, governance/organization requests are remapped toward engineering/build semantics to reduce topic drift.
• For non-sensitive tasks, high-risk themes (race/colonial trauma/war-massacre style language) are filtered out by default.

Output Contract

The final quote block must:

• start with the fixed divider line ----------
• show only the user-language version of the quote body
• always include author
• always include source
• use only renderer-returned fields for quote body and attribution
• avoid extra commentary after the quote block

Use this shape:

----------

“<translated quote>”
—— <author>，《<source title>》
