Use when the user asks to "map what our surfaces say today", "inventory our current messaging", or "find the gap between what we say and what we mean"; produces the narrative baseline — a surface-by-surface inventory of what every owned touchpoint (homepage, pricing, docs, decks, social bios, email footers) claims RIGHT NOW, each line labeled Measured / User-provided / Estimated, plus a per-surface gap read vs the intended message and the drift-baseline snapshot the Evaluate phase measures future drift against. Not for authoring the canon — use message-system-architect; not for scoring the surfaces or running the vetoes — use narrative-quality-auditor. 现状叙事盘点/各触点口径/意图差距/漂移基线

# Narrative Baseline Mapper

Inventories what every owned surface says **today** — the homepage headline, the pricing page value line, the docs intro, the pitch-deck one-liner, the social bios, the email footer — and reads each against the intended message to expose the gap. It is the first move of the TALE **Trace** phase and the "before" snapshot the rest of the narrative work is measured against. It feeds the [TALE](../../../references/tale-benchmark.md) **T** (Truth) dimension — specifically the *positioning matches shippable reality* and *surface-truth* reads — and freezes the **drift baseline** that the Evaluate phase (`narrative-drift-monitor`) measures future surface drift against. It never scores and never authors: it records the current state so the gap is visible.

**Scope guard**: this skill produces the surface inventory + gap read only. It does **not** author the canon or the message house (use [message-system-architect](../../architect/message-system-architect/SKILL.md)), reconcile the positioning canvas against shippable reality (use [positioning-truth-tracer](../positioning-truth-tracer/SKILL.md)), map the category's or competitors' stories (use [category-narrative-mapper](../category-narrative-mapper/SKILL.md)), compute the TALE profile result or run the vetoes (only [narrative-quality-auditor](../../evaluate/narrative-quality-auditor/SKILL.md) scores TALE), or adjudicate any claim it surfaces (unverifiable ones are marked `[needs source]` and submitted to `memory/events/claims.ndjson` via an authorized `operation: propose` request to `registry-events.py`). It works one lever — the current-state inventory — and hands off.

## Quick Start

```
Map what our surfaces say today for [brand]. Surfaces: [homepage / pricing / docs / deck / bios / emails — URLs or paste].
```

```
Inventory our current messaging and show the gap vs our intended message: "[intended one-liner]".
