<!--
  EFFORT HEADER — paste this into any BALDART skill that declares an `effort:`
  baseline and honors the inline `effort=<level>` override.

  1. Add the frontmatter key (pick the baseline per the tiering rubric):

         effort: medium      # one of: low | medium | high | xhigh | max

  2. Paste the `## Effort` block below right after `## Project Context`
     (or after the skill title, for skills without a Project Context header).
     Replace <level> with the same baseline you set in frontmatter.

  Full protocol: framework/agents/effort-protocol.md

  Keep this header DENSE (3-4 lines). Do not re-explain the mapping —
  cite framework/agents/effort-protocol.md instead.

## Effort

**Baseline:** `effort: <level>` (frontmatter). **Inline override:** pass
`effort=<low|medium|high|xhigh|max>` anywhere in the invocation to scale
reasoning depth for this run — detect it once at kickoff and strip the token
before consuming user input. Level→behavior mapping, parsing contract, and
precedence caveats: `framework/agents/effort-protocol.md`.
