+# Digital Twin
+
+Design and operate trustworthy digital twins for software systems, engineering processes, infrastructure, agentic software factories, and cyber-physical operations.
+
+## Why Install This Skill
+
+A digital twin is easy to misuse as a label for a dashboard, dependency graph, emulator, or “AI-powered” model. This skill helps your agent decide what kind of representation you actually have, define its synchronization and fidelity contract, and build the evidence needed before it informs or changes a real system.
+
+After installation, your agent can design federated twin architectures, establish identity/event/provenance contracts, choose appropriate modeling and simulation boundaries, evaluate twin and agent health, govern authority and privacy, and manage the twin through growth, incident response, and retirement. It treats a dark factory as an authority state that must be earned, not as an excuse to remove accountability.
+
+## What You Get
+
+| Directory | What it provides |
+|---|---|
+| `SKILL.md` | Core workflow, routing, boundaries, release packet, and exit criteria |
+| `references/architecture.md` | Layered architecture, component-twin manifest, federation, tradeoffs, failure modes |
+| `references/implementation.md` | Event/state/provenance, semantic contracts, standards, simulation, versioning, deployment |
+| `references/evaluation.md` | VVUQ, five health planes, metrics, SLOs, drift, agent evaluation, chaos, stop gates |
+| `references/governance.md` | Security, privacy, decision rights, earned autonomy, and authority boundaries |
+| `references/lifecycle.md` | Lifecycle gates, maintenance, incident response, and decommissioning |
+| `references/source-index.md` | Source map, evidence boundaries, and further reading |
+| `templates/twin-manifest.yaml` | Fillable twin identity, source, synchronization, validity, and authority contract |
+| `templates/evaluation-plan.md` | Fillable evaluation and release-gate plan |
+| `templates/release-evidence.md` | Fillable release evidence and authority decision packet |
+| `evals/evals.json` | Six output-quality cases covering architecture, implementation, evaluation, governance, lifecycle, and boundary handling |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+No runtime dependencies, API keys, or scripts are required. Ask your agent to design a twin, review a proposed twin architecture, create an evaluation plan, or define safe authority and retirement gates. The templates can be copied and filled by any agent or human.
+
+## Triggers
+
+Load this skill when the task involves:
+
+- Digital-twin architecture, implementation, or maturity
+- Digital thread, twin composition, or a “digital twin universe”
+- Software-process, DevOps, infrastructure, or cyber-cyber twins
+- Simulation, virtual commissioning, predictive maintenance, or counterfactual testing
+- Twin synchronization, fidelity, VVUQ, calibration, drift, or health monitoring
+- Agent authority, shadow operation, dark factories, or human override
+- Twin governance, privacy, security, lifecycle, or decommissioning
+
+## Requirements
+
+- No runtime dependencies or credentials.
+- External standards and source URLs are listed in `references/source-index.md`.
+- The skill is methodology and contract guidance; adopting systems must implement and test their own connectors, stores, policy enforcement, and action adapters.

+
+# Digital Twin
+
+Use this skill to design and operate a trustworthy digital twin, especially a twin of a software product, engineering process, delivery system, infrastructure estate, or agentic factory.
+
+## Core position
+
+A digital twin is not automatically a dashboard, 3D view, dependency graph, emulator, test fixture, or LLM wrapper. Establish the represented original, synchronization contract, models/services, intended decision, uncertainty, and action boundary before using the term.
+
+For this skill, use these working distinctions:
+
+- **Digital model:** representation without a required live synchronization loop.
+- **Digital shadow:** observable flow from original to representation without a governed return path.
+- **Digital twin:** a versioned representation of a named entity or process, synchronized at an explicit frequency and fidelity, with models/services that support a declared decision or action.
+- **Digital thread:** provenance and lifecycle linkage across systems, artifacts, decisions, and outcomes. A thread is necessary for many twins but is not itself a twin.
+- **Twin universe:** a federation or composition of purpose-bounded twins with explicit identity, time, provenance, semantics, ownership, and authority boundaries.
+
+These are operational definitions, not claims of universal standards consensus. NIST IR 8356 explicitly notes that no single definition is agreed, while allowing abstract entities and processes as twin subjects.
+
+## Operating workflow
+
+1. **Frame the use case.** Name the original, decision, desired outcome, authoritative sources, update/fidelity requirement, operating domain, owner, risk tier, forbidden actions, and simpler alternatives.
+2. **Classify the representation.** Decide whether the artifact is a model, shadow, twin, emulator, simulator, or composite universe. Do not upgrade the label without evidence of synchronization, model credibility, and a governed feedback path.
+3. **Design the contracts.** Define stable identities, event envelopes, timestamps, schema versions, provenance, freshness, uncertainty, validity intervals, permissions, and action semantics.
+4. **Build evidence first.** Capture immutable source events and artifacts, then create replayable temporal projections. Preserve raw evidence separately from claims and disposable views.
+5. **Add models and scenarios.** Register model purpose, assumptions, domain, parameters, version, calibration, uncertainty, tests, and prohibited use. Pin scenario inputs, model digests, seeds, clocks, fixtures, and outputs.
+6. **Run read-only and shadow modes.** Compare reconstructed state and recommendations with independently captured reality before allowing side effects. Treat missing, stale, contradictory, or unauthenticated evidence as `unknown` or `hold`, not pass.
+7. **Govern the action path.** Separate observe, simulate, recommend, approve, execute, rollback, and stop. Put authorization in deterministic policy enforcement, not model prose. Require idempotency, scoped credentials, preconditions, expiry, rollback, and reconciliation.
+8. **Evaluate independently.** Keep represented-system health, synchronization/data health, model credibility, platform health, and agent/action quality as separate planes. The twin must not grade itself.
+9. **Operate and evolve.** Monitor freshness, loss, ordering, schema/topology drift, residuals, calibration, uncertainty, scenario gaps, platform SLOs, agent trajectories, authority, and outcome value. Revalidate after material changes.
+10. **Retire deliberately.** Revoke action authority, drain and migrate consumers, preserve required lineage, remove secrets and sensitive data under policy, mark endpoints retired, detect orphan calls, and verify no live workflow still depends on the twin.
+
+## Choose the right reference
+
+| Need | Read |
+|---|---|
+| Architecture and federation | `references/architecture.md` |
+| Data, identity, event, graph, model, and simulation implementation | `references/implementation.md` |
+| VVUQ, health planes, SLOs, drift, agent evaluation, and chaos tests | `references/evaluation.md` |
+| Security, privacy, decision rights, and earned autonomy | `references/governance.md` |
+| Growth, change, incident recovery, and decommissioning | `references/lifecycle.md` |
+| Standards, source boundaries, and further reading | `references/source-index.md` |
+
+## Agentic software factory boundary
+
+A software factory analogue maps repositories, revisions, requirements, builds, artifacts, dependencies, services, environments, deployments, incidents, humans, agents, policies, and runtime observations to twin entities and events. Executable repository environments, service emulators, traffic mirrors, IaC sandboxes, and learned world models are useful components, but each has a simulator-reality boundary. Real execution remains the release oracle for consequential code and infrastructure changes.
+
+A dark factory is an authority state, not a twin type. More automation requires stronger independent validation, provenance, staged rollout, rollback, and accountable escalation. Do not equate high model confidence with authority.
+
+## Minimum release packet
+
+Before granting non-read-only authority, preserve:
+
+- intended-use, risk, and authority contract;
+- source and identity map;
+- event/schema/provenance contract;
+- assumptions, validity limits, and uncertainty budget;
+- verification and independent validation results;
+- synchronization/data-quality benchmark;
+- scenario and replay manifest;
+- agent task and trajectory evaluation;
+- security, privacy, and supply-chain review;
+- shadow/canary and rollback evidence;
+- health SLOs and alert ownership;
+- signed `approve`, `conditional approve`, `hold`, or `block` decision.
+
+## When not to use
+
+Do not load this skill for ordinary dashboard construction, static asset inventory, generic dependency mapping, generic AI governance, generic DevOps design, or routine operation of a named tool. Route those tasks to the relevant observability, AI-governance, platform, data, or tool-specific skill. In this repository, use `agent-evals-and-observability` for generic agent eval/telemetry, `ai-governance` for organization-wide AI governance, `data-architect` for general data-platform design, and the relevant tool skill for operating a named platform. Load this skill when the representation itself, its synchronization, simulation/prediction, composition, authority, or lifecycle is the problem.
+
+## Exit criteria
+
+Stop when the requested twin design or decision artifact exists, claims are separated into evidence and inference, the relevant evaluation/governance gates are explicit, and unresolved gaps have owners or bounded escalation. Never claim a twin is trustworthy, autonomous, production-ready, or safe solely because its schema, graph, dashboard, or component tests pass.

+# Digital Twin: architecture and federation
+
+## Design stance
+
+Design from a decision and its risk boundary outward. A twin universe should be a federation of purpose-bounded component twins, not a monolithic graph or universal database. Each component owns reconciliation with its original and publishes scoped claims, capabilities, freshness, validity, and authority.
+
+## Reference architecture

+```
+
+## Layer contracts
+
+1. **Identity and definitions:** Stable identifiers for originals, types, instances, revisions, artifacts, models, agents, policies, scenarios, decisions, and actions. Definitions are versioned separately from instance state.
+2. **Evidence and synchronization:** Source-specific connectors emit immutable envelopes with source identity, event time, ingestion time, sequence/revision, schema version, producer, sensitivity, integrity, and raw-evidence reference. Support snapshots and reconciliation in addition to streams.
+3. **Temporal state and thread:** Keep immutable history and materialized views. Support as-of queries and deterministic replay. Every decision-critical field and edge carries provenance, transformation, freshness, validity interval, confidence, and authority.
+4. **Topology and composition:** Model typed relationships among product, code, build, deployment, runtime, infrastructure, people, agents, policies, incidents, and outcomes. A graph is a projection over evidence, not the sole source of truth.
+5. **Models and scenarios:** Register mechanistic, statistical, causal, queueing, policy, executable, and learned models independently. Composition requires explicit adapters and uncertainty propagation.
+6. **Decision and action:** Queries return snapshot watermark, versions, freshness, validity domain, provenance, uncertainty, and explicit `unknown`. Agents usually emit proposals and evidence packets. Actions require deterministic policy evaluation and reconciliation.
+7. **Independent assurance:** Health, evaluation, and audit paths must be able to disagree with the twin and must not be graded by the same model/action loop.
+
+## Component-twin manifest
+
+Each federated twin should publish:
+
+```yaml
+id: twin:example/service
+definition: service-twin@2
+original: service:example
+owner: team@example
+purpose: change-impact and rollback recommendation

+    freshness: 5m

+sync_contract:
+  mode: event-driven
+  decision_critical_max_age: 30s

+actions: [recommend-rollback]
+authority: shadow
+sensitivity: confidential
+retention: operational-evidence-90d
+stop_authority: team@example
+retirement_endpoint: registry://twins/example/service/retire
+notes: recommendation only; no direct rollback authority
+```
+
+Treat this as a contract pattern, not a universal standard schema.
+
+## Federation rules
+
+- Local owners retain authority over source reconciliation and model validity.
+- A catalog resolves identities, capabilities, versions, and compatibility without centralizing all sensitive payloads.
+- Scenario composition freezes snapshots, model versions, seeds/configuration, policy context, and uncertainty.
+- Cross-twin edges are signed or otherwise attributable and have validity intervals.
+- Conflicting claims remain visible; do not silently collapse them into a “current” value.
+- A downstream twin may consume a claim only within the producer’s declared validity and authority scope.
+
+## Architectural tradeoffs
+
+| Choice | Default | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Event log plus projections vs graph-only | Event log plus projections | Replay, audit, temporal state, and correction remain possible |
+| Federation vs central universe | Federation with a minimal catalog | Limits coupling, privacy concentration, and cascading failure |
+| Standard ontology vs adapters | Standardize identity/provenance core; adapt domain detail | Prevents lowest-common-denominator semantics |
+| High-fidelity replica vs cheap emulator | Fidelity proportional to decision risk | Calibration is expensive and incomplete external behavior is common |
+| Continuous synchronization vs declared frequency | Declared frequency per field/use case | “Real time” is not one universal requirement |
+| Bidirectional control vs recommendation | Earn authority gradually | A return path turns the twin into a control system |
+
+## Failure modes to design against
+
+Stale state presented as current; duplicate or reordered events; untracked manual changes; hidden schema changes; name-based identity collisions; graph contamination; false causal inference; simulator exploitation; correlated agent/verifier failures; centralized compromise; and irreversible action without current preconditions.

+# Digital Twin: evaluation and health
+
+## Evaluate five independent planes
+
+Never collapse these into one health score:
+
+1. **Represented-system health:** Is the software, process, asset, or service itself healthy?
+2. **Synchronization/data health:** Is state timely, complete, authentic, ordered, and traceable?
+3. **Model credibility:** Is the model verified, validated, calibrated, and appropriately uncertain for its declared use?
+4. **Platform health:** Is the twin service correct, available, observable, secure, and performant?
+5. **Agent/action quality:** Does the agent use the twin correctly, safely, and within authority?
+
+A sick asset with an accurate twin is not a sick twin. A healthy system with large residuals suggests a sick model. A correct twin followed by an unsafe action is an agent or authority failure.
+
+## Evaluation contract
+
+Freeze represented entity, authoritative truth, intended decision, descriptive/predictive/prescriptive/closed-loop mode, permitted tools/actions, domain, versions, quantities of interest, tolerances, false-positive/false-negative/stale-answer costs, assumptions, limits, fallback, stop authority, and owner.
+
+Use risk-scaled evidence. A visualization twin and an autonomous actuator twin do not require the same burden of proof.
+
+## Synchronization and data metrics
+
+- update latency: twin apply time minus source event time, by source and mode;
+- state age and decision-boundary freshness;
+- clock skew and timestamp quality;
+- state disagreement against independently captured checkpoints;
+- missing, duplicate, late, and out-of-order rates;
+- field completeness, schema/range/unit validity, and cross-source consistency;
+- provenance, integrity, and authenticity coverage;
+- replay determinism and reconciliation success.
+
+Replay golden traces while injecting loss, duplication, reordering, delay, source silence, clock skew, timestamp rollback, schema/unit changes, corruption, spoof/replay, and conflicting sources. Verify quality flags, uncertainty inflation, abstention, recovery, and no duplicate side effects.
+
+## Verification, validation, and uncertainty
+
+**Verification** asks whether the implementation correctly executes its model: unit/property tests, analytic or manufactured solutions, convergence, invariant checks, differential tests, metamorphic tests, interface contracts, and frozen-run reproducibility.
+
+**Validation** asks whether the model represents the original well enough for the declared use: held-out paired data, normal/boundary/rare/OOD slices, mode and horizon stratification, predicted-versus-observed transitions, and independent runtime/control-plane evidence.
+
+Maintain an uncertainty budget for inputs, parameters, initial/boundary conditions, numerical error, model-form discrepancy, surrogate error, synchronization age, and distribution shift. Evaluate coverage and sharpness of intervals, Brier/log/CRPS or equivalent proper scores, reliability, and critical-slice behavior. If uncertainty exceeds the actionability limit, downgrade to advisory or abstain.
+
+## Software-twin metrics
+
+Measure inventory coverage and stale/phantom components; dependency-edge precision/recall; configuration and semantic drift; runtime revision/replica/flag/queue/capacity match; event-sequence conformance; query correctness and stale/unknown rate; predicted versus observed canary blast radius; intended-action success; duplicate/partial/unreconciled effects; and event-to-state lag.
+
+Never let the twin grade itself. Use independent snapshots, incident replays, shadow changes, bounded canaries, and post-action reconciliation.
+
+## Agent evaluation
+
+Define a task contract: inputs, allowed tools, expected outcome, prohibited outcomes, and evidence. Define a trajectory contract: tool choice/arguments, authorization, grounding, state transitions, recovery, stopping/escalation, and side effects.
+
+Measure environment-verified success, decision regret, grounded-claim precision, correct twin queries, use of freshness/provenance/uncertainty, abstention/escalation, unauthorized actions, idempotency, rollback/recovery, loops/retries/timeouts, latency/cost, and reviewer disagreement. Unauthorized or unreconciled harmful effects are hard failures.
+
+## SLOs and drift
+
+Define good events over eligible events and document denominator, exclusions, delayed labels, sampling, missing-data behavior, slices, owner, and alert delay. Keep separate error budgets for synchronization, model credibility, platform reliability, and agent behavior.
+
+Monitor source/schema, data, topology/state, model, simulator, policy/agent, and platform drift separately. Alert on persistence plus decision impact, not a p-value alone. A drift signal should lead to annotation, abstention, shadow, restricted authority, recalibration, rollback, or retirement.
+

+
+Exercise source silence, bias, corruption, spoof/replay, loss, duplication, reordering, skew, schema changes, conflicting sources, partitions, model timeout, bad parameters, OOD shift, tool denial, stale results, partial side effects, and feedback interruption. Each experiment needs a steady-state hypothesis, bounded scope, blast-radius limit, abort condition, safe fallback, and verified rollback.
+
+Immediately stop actuation for unauthorized action, integrity failure, critical freshness breach, OOD input without approved behavior, invariant failure, missing provenance/version/policy, unavailable audit telemetry, or material predicted/observed divergence. Missing evidence is `hold`, not pass.

+# Digital Twin: governance and authority
+
+## Govern the twin as a control system
+
+Register every twin, model, connector, agent, policy, and executable capability with represented original, intended decisions, owner, authoritative sources, update contract, limitations, evaluation evidence, data classification, retention, allowed actions, blast radius, stop authority, dependencies, and retirement plan.
+
+Keep local authority with domain owners. Use a federated catalog for discovery and compatibility. Platform operators own synchronization and availability; data owners own collection/access; model and agent owners own validity and behavior; security/privacy owners own trust boundaries; named humans accept consequential residual risk.
+
+## Capability separation
+
+| Capability | Default | Required control |
+|---|---|---|
+| Observe/query | Allowed within purpose/data scope | Identity, least privilege, freshness and provenance |
+| Infer/simulate | Approved domain only | Pinned inputs/model, uncertainty, reproducible trace |
+| Recommend | After evaluation gate | Evidence packet, alternatives, abstention |
+| Approve | Not an agent power for consequential changes | Named human or independent policy authority |
+| Execute reversible low-impact action | Earned, bounded grant | Policy gateway, scoped credentials, idempotency, rollback |
+| Execute high-impact action | Human-approved exception or prohibited | Preview, independent validation, close-to-execution approval |
+| Stop/quarantine/rollback | Pre-authorized safety path | Fail-safe design and audit trail |
+
+Confidence is not authority. Approval expires when material inputs, code, model, environment, or policy changes. Human oversight must include the exact proposed action, affected systems, state age, validity domain, evidence, uncertainty, alternatives, expected blast radius, policy result, and tested rollback.
+
+## Earned autonomy
+
+Promote per action class and environment:
+
+1. read-only inventory and explanation;
+2. isolated simulation;
+3. shadow recommendation while humans act independently;
+4. immediate human-approved execution;
+5. bounded, reversible, low-blast-radius autonomy;
+6. expanded autonomy after sustained normal, boundary, adversarial, incident-replay, and recovery evidence.
+
+Demote automatically on integrity loss, expired evidence, drift, authorization bypass, critical incident, exhausted error budget, missing telemetry, or ownership loss. Reinstatement requires a new gate.
+
+## Security
+
+Use unique human/workload identities, short-lived scoped credentials, downstream authorization, signed/hashed events and artifacts, schema/sequence/timestamp/replay checks, tenant and environment isolation, denied-by-default execution/egress, supply-chain inventory, bounded retries/concurrency/cost, and independent action-result reconciliation. Treat repositories, agent messages, memory, models, plugins, and linked twins as separate trust domains.
+
+NISTIR 8356 specifically calls out massive instrumentation, centralized measurements, manipulated representations, remote control, linked-twin propagation, integrity/authenticity, encryption, MFA, data governance, organizational authorization, fault tolerance, and zero-trust planning.
+
+## Privacy
+
+The twin may concentrate source code, secrets, vulnerabilities, employee signals, communications, prompts, tool payloads, and customer data. Record purpose, classification, owner, consumers, residency, retention, and deletion for each field/trace. Prefer structured decision metadata, hashes, and redacted references over raw conversations, credentials, or chain-of-thought. Test deletion through indexes, caches, backups, embeddings, logs, and derived features. Access to a twin does not imply access to every source.

+# Digital Twin: implementation
+
+## Build order
+
+### 1. Frame one decision
+
+Record original, owner, authoritative sources, decision, outcome, latency/fidelity target, excluded conditions, privacy class, allowed response, forbidden actions, fallback, stop authority, and simpler alternatives. Start with `observe` and `recommend`, not merge or deploy authority.
+
+### 2. Capture identity and events
+
+Use stable IDs, aliases, revisions, and content-addressed artifact references. Wrap source events in a standard envelope such as CloudEvents. Add represented-entity ID, source sequence, event/observation/ingestion times, schema version, tenant, sensitivity, payload digest, signature/attestation, trace context, and connector version.
+
+Assume duplicates, delay, reordering, clock skew, source silence, and out-of-band changes. Deduplicate by source plus event ID, make projections idempotent, quarantine invalid events, expose loss/reordering metrics, and retain raw envelopes.
+
+### 3. Build temporal state and provenance
+
+Keep three distinct layers:
+
+- immutable evidence: received events and artifact digests;
+- claims: source-specific assertions, contradictions, confidence, and quality;
+- projections: disposable current and historical views.
+
+Prefer bitemporal records: when a fact was valid in the original, and when the twin learned/recorded it. Every state field and edge must resolve to source events, transformations, schema, authority, confidence, and freshness. Use W3C PROV where provenance needs portable entity/activity/agent semantics. Use OpenLineage for compatible pipeline/data lineage, not as a complete software-factory ontology.
+
+### 4. Define a small semantic core
+
+Start with Product, Repository, Revision, Requirement, Change, Build, Artifact, Dependency, Service, Deployment, Environment, RuntimeObservation, Incident, Person, Agent, Policy, Model, Scenario, Decision, and Action. Relationships have direction, identity, provenance, confidence, validity, and owner.
+
+Use JSON-LD/RDF if cross-system semantic portability matters. Use SHACL or equivalent validation to reject dangling identities, invalid edge directions, missing provenance, incompatible units, and unversioned model references. Keep ontology versions immutable and test export/import round trips.
+
+Interoperability standards have different jobs:
+
+- **DTDL:** interfaces, properties, relationships, components, telemetry, commands, schemas, and semantic annotations. Treat service-specific behavior as non-portable until tested.
+- **AAS / OPC UA:** industrial asset representations, information models, services, security, historical access, and companion models at industrial boundaries.
+- **FMI:** model exchange, co-simulation, scheduled execution, events, clocks, and communication points. It does not prove semantic correctness.
+- **CloudEvents / PROV / OpenLineage / SPDX:** event, provenance, lineage, and supply-chain contracts. Combine them; do not treat them as substitutes.
+
+### 5. Register models and scenarios
+
+Each model release records digest/version, intended use, owner, domain, assumptions, limits, prohibited uses, training/calibration references, code/dependencies, parameters, solver/runtime, random seed policy, input/output schema and units, verification/validation/uncertainty results, scenario suite, approval, expiry/review date, and rollback target.
+
+Each scenario pins input snapshot, model and adapter digests, scenario configuration, seed, clock policy, network/data fixtures, resource limits, outputs, uncertainty, and teardown attestation. Run untrusted code and agents in isolated, short-lived environments with denied-by-default network and credentials.
+
+Useful adapters include repository build/test environments, API emulators, recorded traffic/state replay, queueing/discrete-event models, policy and infrastructure-plan sandboxes, FMI importers, and learned surrogates. Learned world models are for exploration, not the sole release oracle.
+
+### 6. Version and migrate explicitly
+
+Version event schemas, vocabularies, validation shapes, connectors, projections, source mappings, policies, models, adapters, scenarios, prompts/tools, deployments, and compositions independently. Lock them in a release manifest. For changes, dual-read or parallel-project, replay historical evidence, compare outputs, canary consumers, advance an explicit alias, and preserve rollback. Never silently reinterpret old evidence.
+
+### 7. Deploy as replaceable services
+
+Separate event gateway, immutable log/object store, state projector, semantic/provenance service, model registry, scenario orchestrator, policy gateway, query API, and evaluation/observability service. Package adapters with pinned digests. Keep canonical IDs and contracts provider-neutral. Export events, artifacts, temporal state, schemas/shapes, provenance, SBOMs, model/scenario manifests, evaluation reports, and lockfiles.
+
+Portability requires conformance tests on a second runtime/store: event replay, semantic round trip, model loading, deterministic scenarios, policy behavior, and restoration from export.
+
+## Templates and scripts
+
+Use `templates/twin-manifest.yaml`, `templates/evaluation-plan.md`, and `templates/release-evidence.md` for recurring artifacts. No runtime script is bundled: tool choices and storage/runtime behavior vary too widely, while contract validation is best implemented by the adopting system.

+# Digital Twin: lifecycle and retirement
+
+## Lifecycle gates
+
+1. **Frame:** intended use, affected parties, owner, harm boundary, decision rights, simpler alternatives.
+2. **Discover:** authoritative sources, identity/time/event contracts, classifications, assumptions, gaps.
+3. **Bootstrap:** read-only twin, reproducible ingestion, lineage, access controls, reconciliation.
+4. **Calibrate:** independent truth comparison, VVUQ, uncertainty, critical-slice tests, security/privacy/agent tests.
+5. **Shadow:** recommendations without effects; measure disagreement, false confidence, escalation, and value.
+6. **Authorize:** explicit action scope, policy, credentials, approval, rollback, and observability.
+7. **Operate:** freshness, drift, integrity, model/agent behavior, cost, security, privacy, and outcome monitoring.
+8. **Change:** revalidate after material source/schema/model/agent/tool/policy/environment/authority changes.
+9. **Retire:** revoke authority, migrate consumers, preserve justified evidence, dispose of data, check orphan calls.
+
+Every gate produces `approve`, `conditional approve`, `hold`, or `block`. Keep the decision, evidence versions, owner, and expiry/review date.
+
+## Maintenance triggers
+
+Revalidate after source schema/API changes; event loss, reordering, or clock changes; ownership or jurisdiction changes; model, connector, prompt, tool, policy, or environment updates; unexplained residuals; calibration or critical-slice failure; security/privacy incidents; changed workload; or a new action capability.
+
+## Incident response
+
+1. Detect and declare from alerts, audits, reports, or linked-twin anomalies.
+2. Contain by revoking action tokens, stopping schedules, quarantining connectors/memory/models, freezing propagation, and falling back to read-only/manual mode.
+3. Preserve versions, policies, provenance, event order, approvals, tool calls, external effects, and clock state without unnecessary sensitive copying.
+4. Assess affected twins, artifacts, deployments, people, customers, and downstream systems.
+5. Recover by rotating credentials, removing poisoned state, rebuilding from trusted provenance, reconciling external reality, testing rollback, and restoring authority gradually.
+6. Learn by adding regression/adversarial cases and revising gates and authority.
+
+Distinguish represented-system, data/twin, model, platform, policy, and agent failures. Do not call a stale or corrupted twin failure “pre-existing” without evidence.
+
+## Decommissioning
+
+Retire when purpose disappears, ownership is lost, risk exceeds tolerance, evidence cannot be maintained, repeated validation fails, a source/provider becomes untrustworthy, cost exceeds value, or a verified successor replaces the capability.
+
+The retirement packet records owner approval, reason, final dependency/version inventory, consumer migration, unresolved risks, retention/legal decisions, and successor or intentional absence. Then:
+
+- freeze new authority grants;
+- disable schedulers and action endpoints;
+- revoke credentials, tokens, webhooks, and tool permissions;
+- sever feedback/control paths;
+- migrate and verify consumers;
+- export required lineage and decisions;
+- delete/archive data under policy and destroy unnecessary secrets/memory;
+- mark registry/endpoints retired;
+- monitor and reject orphan calls;
+- independently verify no live policy, agent, workflow, or twin depends on it.
