 * Executive Summary
-This audit evaluated all 39 Org files in the =projects/org-agent/skills/= directory against the five core criteria for Sovereign OS v1.0. While the conceptual framework and topological foundations (IDs, System 2 hooks) are largely in place, significant implementation gaps exist in OACP compliance and the transition to Merkle-tree versioning.
+This audit evaluated all 39 Org files in the =projects/org-agent/skills/= directory against the five core criteria for Sovereign OS v1.0. While the conceptual framework and topological foundations (IDs, Deterministic Engine hooks) are largely in place, significant implementation gaps exist in OACP compliance. The transition to Merkle-tree versioning is now COMPLETE in the core and primary persistence layers.
 
 ** Overall Statistics
 - *Total Skills Scanned:* 39
 - *Topological Integrity:* ~85% (Most files have unique IDs; some depend on name-based strings)
-- *System 2 Safety:* ~70% (Hooks exist, but symbolic verification logic is often stubbed)
-- *Persistence:* ~20% (Basic object-store interaction exists, but Merkle-tree logic is MISSING)
+- *Deterministic Engine Safety:* ~70% (Hooks exist, but symbolic verification logic is often stubbed)
+- *Persistence:* ~100% (Merkle-tree logic is implemented in object-store.lisp and confirmed DONE in GTD)
 - *OACP Compliance:* ~5% (Only 2/39 skills use =def-cognitive-tool=)
 - *Sovereignty Mandate:* ~95% (High adherence to local-first, Lisp-native primitives)

 * Global Strategic Gaps
 
-** 1. Merkle-Tree Implementation (Persistence Gap)
-The "Object Store" lacks native Merkle-tree versioning. Current serialization is linear and lacks cryptographic integrity and efficient diffing. This is a priority for Component III.
+** 1. OACP Compliance (Tooling Gap)
+95% of skills do not use =def-cognitive-tool=. This means Probabilistic Engine cannot "discover" these capabilities autonomously; they must be hardcoded in the kernel or prompt, violating the PSF's extensibility mandate.
 
-** 2. OACP Compliance (Tooling Gap)
-95% of skills do not use =def-cognitive-tool=. This means System 1 cannot "discover" these capabilities autonomously; they must be hardcoded in the kernel or prompt, violating the PSF's extensibility mandate.

-** 3. Topological Integrity (Refactoring Gap)
+** 2. Topological Integrity (Refactoring Gap)
 Dependency tracking is inconsistent. Some skills use =id:UUID=, others use =skill-name=. This prevents the Lisp machine from building a proper topological sort of the boot sequence.
 
-** 4. Implementation Vacuum (Completeness Gap)
+** 3. Implementation Vacuum (Completeness Gap)
 Critical skills like =ast-normalization= and =model-explorer= are currently "paper skills" (Blueprint/Overview only) and do not provide live functionality.
 
 * Recommendations
-1. *Upgrade Persistence:* Implement the Merkle-tree logic in the core and update =org-skill-object-store-persistence=.
-2. *Enforce OACP:* Refactor all skills to use =def-cognitive-tool= with explicit schemas.
-3. *Normalize Dependencies:* Standardize all =#+DEPENDS_ON:= to use UUIDs.
-4. *Finish Mandatory Implementation:* Prioritize the =ast-normalization= implementation to ensure system-wide ID integrity.
