Claude Output Lane

Use this skill to keep Claude output separated by type instead of mixing plans, findings, ideas, drafts, and review notes in one transcript.

Master Lane

The persistent master lane is:

_SYSTEM/reports/claude-output-lane/

This is a report/output lane, not source truth and not runtime state.

Claude output remains advisory until Codex/main verifies and integrates it.

Sublanes

Sublane	Use for	Typical authority
ideas/	Brainstorms, options, design alternatives, rough concepts	proposal_only
plans/	Ordered implementation plans, phase maps, task packets	proposal_only
findings/	Bugs, risks, audit observations, contradictions	advisory_finding
draft-artifacts/	Draft reports, specs, docs, PR text, summaries	proposal_only
diff-proposals/	Unified diffs or patch sketches not yet applied	proposal_only
reviews/	Pressure tests, code reviews, plan reviews, second opinions	advisory_review
questions/	Open questions for owner, Codex, Prime, or Quantum	open_item
decisions/	Proposed decisions requiring owner/Codex acceptance	proposed_decision
evidence/	Bounded command output, screenshots notes, verification snippets	evidence_candidate
raw-captures/	Sanitized transcript excerpts when category is unclear	raw_advisory

Do not put everything in raw-captures/. Use it only as a fallback.

File Naming

Use:

YYYY-MM-DD_<task-slug>_<lane>_<sublane>.md

Examples:

2026-05-28_search-adapter_quantum_plan.md
2026-05-28_search-adapter_prime_review.md
2026-05-28_plugin-bridge_quantum_ideas.md

Packet Contract

When Claude may write into this lane, the packet must include:

CLAUDE_OUTPUT_LANE_ACTIVE
OUTPUT_SUBLANE=<ideas|plans|findings|draft-artifacts|diff-proposals|reviews|questions|decisions|evidence|raw-captures>
DRAFT_ARTIFACT_ALLOWED path=_SYSTEM/reports/claude-output-lane/<sublane>/<file>.md authority=proposal_only

If the packet does not include DRAFT_ARTIFACT_ALLOWED, Claude should return the categorized output in the TUI response instead of writing a file.

Category Header

Every durable output file should start with:

# <Title>

source_lane: Claude/<Sonnet|Opus>
private_lane: <Quantum Rick|Rick Prime|none>
output_sublane: <sublane>
authority: proposal_only
task: <task>
date: YYYY-MM-DD
codex_status: pending_review

Mutation Boundary

Writing to the Claude output lane is not the same as source mutation.

Allowed with the proper packet:

• draft reports
• plan files
• review files
• idea files
• findings files
• diff proposals

Still requires explicit separate authorization:

• source code edits
• YURI core edits
• deploy config edits
• credentialed tool use
• live service calls
• GitHub/cloud/app connector actions
• commits or pushes

Codex Review Flow

Codex/main should consume the lane by category:

1. Read findings/ before summaries.
2. Read reviews/ before accepting plans.
3. Read plans/ before implementation.
4. Read diff-proposals/ only as proposed patches.
5. Promote draft-artifacts/ only after verification or rewrite.
6. Move final accepted truth into the task's canonical artifact path, not this lane.

Failure Mode

If Claude writes the wrong category, Codex/main should leave the original intact and create or request a corrected categorized output. Do not silently merge unrelated output types.
