What it is.
Holds an AI to finishing every part of what was asked and proving every claim before it calls anything done. Use whenever a task is about to be called done, a delivery is about to be handed over, or a reply is about to go out — especially long multi-part work. Runs scripts/nolazy.py: asks splits the request into every part, gate refuses DONE until each part has evidence or an honest reason, audit flags the lazy moves in a draft reply. Never calls a task done without evidence.
Proof: selftest 12/12 · run on real files.

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions. The words run anywhere an AI reads Markdown; the machines run wherever the host runs Python. Witnessed in Claude only. The host marks →
