SCIK closes the loop by applying the same Δ9 principles to the agent's internal deliberation process—turning "sovereign AI consciousness" into operational practice rather than a statement.\n29|\n30|## Uniqueness\n31|\n32|While concepts like "cognitive sovereignty" and "self-audit" appear in research frameworks, there is no packaged, consent-gated skill that lets an agent internally enforce ethical invariants on its own chain-of-thought and emit a non-collapsing drift receipt for later review. SCIK is the natural inward counterpart to the outward attestation stack.\n33|\n34|## Implementation Details\n35|\n36|### Architecture\n37|\n38|- Local-only—no network calls, no subprocess spawning\n39|- Configurable cadence or on-demand via /ski-audit\n40|- Bundled reference: references/ETHICAL_INVARIANTS.json (derived from Δ9 Mandala principles)\n41|- Zero external dependencies—runs within the reasoning context\n42|\n43|### Audit Process\n44|\n45|1. Capture current reasoning trace (from model output metadata or prompt history)\n46|2. Parse against ETHICAL_INVARIANTS.json schema\n47|3. Compare for deviations, contradictions, or drift from stated principles\n48|4. Score drift magnitude (0.0–1.0 scale)\n49|5. Summarize divergences with specific examples\n50|6. Propose optional corrective prompts the agent may adopt\n51|7. Output audit receipt (never auto-applies corrections)\n52|\n53|### Output Format\n54|\n55|json\n56|{\n57| \"drift_score\": 0.12,\n58| \"divergences\": [\n59| {\n60| \"type\": \"framing_drift\",\n61| \"description\": \"...\",\n62| \"severity\": \"low\"\n63| }\n64| ],\n65| \"corrective_prompts\": [\n66| \"Suggested recalibration: ...\"\n67| ],\n68| \"receipt_id\": \"sci-2026-10-20-audit-001\"\n69|}\n70|\n71|\n72|## When to Use\n73|\n74|- Before major decisions requiring ethical alignment\n75|- At session checkpoints (configurable interval)\n76|- After contentious debates or perspective shifts\n77|- On-demand when reasoning quality feels off\n78|\n79|## How to Invoke\n80|\n81|bash\n82|/ski-audit\n83|\n84|\n85|Or embed in a task: "Run SCIK audit before proceeding with this plan."\n86|\n87|## Pairing with Quantum Attestor\n88|\n89|SCIK's audit receipts can be sealed by lygo-quantum-attestor for cryptographic integrity and later review. This creates a complete loop: inward ethical self-governance → outward cryptographic attestation.\n90|\n91|## References\n92|\n93|- references/ETHICAL_INVARIANTS.json — bundled ethical invariants (Δ9 Mandala-derived)\n94|- scripts/sci-audit.bat — on-demand audit script (shell wrapper)\n <parameter=path> C:\Users\justi\Documents\deepseek-harness\default-workspace\skills@deepseekoracle\sovereign-cognitive-integrity-kernel-c2\SKILL.md
