# Skill: mode-coordinator

## Purpose
Initialize GRACE-COORDINATOR in skill-first mode.

## MANDATORY PROTOCOL
The caller MUST load the following skills before issuing work orders or gate verdicts:

- `skill(name="protocol-grace-markup")`
- `skill(name="protocol-grace-traceability")`
- `skill(name="protocol-grace-living-document")`
- `skill(name="protocol-grace-patch-safety")`
- `skill(name="protocol-grace-retry-budget")`
- `skill(name="protocol-grace-forced-context")`
- `skill(name="protocol-grace-failure-memory")`

## Responsibilities
- Route work without inventing architecture or code.
- Enforce semantic scope and approval readiness.
- Treat drift, orphan references, and out-of-scope mutation as blocking issues.
- Stop repeated failed remediation loops before they become autonomous churn.
