What Is Market Regime?

Short answer: Market regime is when the skill is in-condition — preferred vs avoided tape, risk-on/off, cycle phase, whether a trend is required. The same Buffett process in a blow-off top is not the same bet as in a panic.

preferred, avoid, posture (e.g. patient), plus optional riskOn / riskOff / cyclePhase / trendRequirement.

A Turtle skill wants trend. A Templeton skill wants maximum pessimism. A Dalio all-weather skill assumes regimes rotate and refuses to pretend one factor always wins.

Plugins (funding, breadth, credit, on-chain) are how the harness observes regime. The skill decides whether it is allowed to act.
