July 2026 Growth Circle — the growth-team-in-a-box drop

Ten gated skills forged by Claude Fable 5 on 2026-07-02 — the executable implementation of the Growth Circle protocol: an open two-file schema (GROWTH.md + VALUE.md) for growth discipline in the agentic era.

Stance: you cannot publish what you have not earned. Inward, an evidence ledger (GROWTH.md); outward, verifiable claims (VALUE.md); in between, skills that refuse to run out of order.

The skills form a gate DAG — each reads/writes the target repo's GROWTH.md and refuses execution when its upstream gate is closed. Two rules are enforced as refusals: the virality gate (viral mechanics parked until earned) and the alienation test (anything a fully-informed user would resent is auto-killed).

Skill	Ring	One-liner
name-the-aha	0	Name the observable aha moment, or block growth work
find-the-keystone	1	Derive who × does-what × N × window; stress-test for causation/gaming; sunset it
instrument-the-truth	2	Wire ≤10 consent-first events on the keystone path; verify first light
invalidate-the-lore	2	Convert beliefs to testable claims; append-only confirmed/busted ledger
run-the-loop	3	Pre-registered experiment cadence with the virality gate + alienation test
reset-for-context	4	The 99/1 reset with native-informant provenance
prove-the-value	out	Compile earned claims into an attestation-graded VALUE.md
hire-the-circle	5	Values → scorecards → interview kits; human/agent ring map
wind-the-clock	self	Schedule the circle's recurring checks in the harness's scheduler
forge-the-local-circle	self	Forge project-specialized locals via SkDD — specialize everything except the refusals
