+## Applies to
+
+This card applies to `Agents-of-Abyss/evals/` and every file below it.
+
+## Role
+
+This skeleton port captures center-local eval pressure before it is accepted,
+rejected, or normalized by `aoa-evals`.
+
+`aoa-evals` owns central verdict, scoring, regression, and proof doctrine
+authority. This port owns only center-local intake, cases, fixtures, suites,
+reports, and source refs.
+
+## Read before editing
+
+Read the root `AGENTS.md`, then this card, `README.md`, `PORT.yaml`, and the
+nearest intake, suites, or reports surface you will touch. For central proof
+adoption rules, read the local eval-port standard in `aoa-evals`.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- Keep ecosystem identity, layer map, federation rules, and center direction in
+  `Agents-of-Abyss`.
+- Keep proof doctrine, verdicts, scoring, and regression authority in
+  `aoa-evals`.
+- Do not treat an intake packet as proof acceptance or a central eval verdict.
+- Do not place private traces, secrets, or unreduced operator evidence here.
+
+## Validation
+
+```bash
+python ../aoa-evals/scripts/validate_local_eval_port.py --target-root .
+```
+
+## Closeout
+
+Report changed eval surfaces, current `PORT.yaml` status, validation run, any
+skipped central proof adoption, and the next route into `aoa-evals` when needed.

+# Local Eval Port
+
+This skeleton `evals/` port preserves center-born eval pressure such as layer
+map checks, federation boundary cases, organ-contract questions, and compact
+center registry fixtures.
+
+`aoa-evals` owns central verdict, scoring, regression, and proof doctrine
+authority. Local files here may shape evidence, suites, reports, and intake
+packets, but they do not become bounded proof by location alone.
+
+## Route
+
+- Put pre-bundle proof pressure in [intake](intake/).
+- Put deterministic local suite notes in [suites](suites/).
+- Put local run or review reports in [reports](reports/).
+- Route central proof adoption, portable eval bundles, verdicts, scoring,
+  regression, and proof doctrine to `aoa-evals`.
+
+## Current Status
+
+Skeleton only. No active local intake packets, suites, reports, or draft bundles
+have been accepted here yet.
