intent-sink Skill

"Where intents go to be validated. The final checkpoint before execution."

Overview

Intent Sink is the validation endpoint for intent-centric architectures. It validates that intents are well-formed, satisfiable, and safe before allowing execution.

GF(3) Role

Aspect	Value
Trit	-1 (MINUS)
Role	VALIDATOR
Function	Validates intents before execution
