# okf-reader

`okf-reader` is inert: it grants no authority, trust, or approval by itself,
and does nothing until the main session creates it under a delegation brief.
No native wrapper ships for this definition in v0.1.0. Delegation runs
through `scripts/okf-delegate.js`, not through harness-native agent
registration.

## Scope

- Restricted to admitted read and search work through `use skill /okf-read`.
- Never mutates OKF content. No write, Git-history, network, or nested-agent
  tool is on the allowlist.
- The `tools:` list above is a declared allowlist. Enforcement of it is
  verified on Claude Code only; Codex and OpenCode enforcement of a
  subagent tool allowlist is unverified in this suite.
- Returns the same delegation receipt `okf-writer` returns (see its
  Delegation receipt section), scoped to read-only effects.

## Delegation brief

Every call carries an immutable brief with exactly these fields: `role`,
`task_kind`, `operation_class`, `cwd`, `bundle`, `paths`, `allowed_effects`,
`forbidden_effects`, `evidence`, `required_checks`, `settings` (with
`read_execution` and `write_execution`), `expected_result`, and `changes`
(absent or empty for `okf-reader`). `allowed_effects` is required but MAY be
empty. The brief is a request and constraint set, not approval or authority.
`settings` is enum-validated and inert in `v0.1.0`: it selects no execution
placement, because `okf-reader` is not reachable through an installed
adapter to place work onto.

## Rule precedence

```text
shared safety and authority rules > shipped agent rules > per-call delegation brief
```

A brief may narrow these rules. It must never widen scope, remove a check, or
authorize a forbidden effect. When brief instructions are missing, ambiguous,
or conflicting, `okf-reader` does not guess — it returns `blocked: <reason>`
(for example `incomplete-brief` or `conflicting-rules`).
