+name: makima-directive
+description: Directive orchestration tools for autonomous goal-driven execution. Use when working with directives, chains, steps, verifiers, and approvals.
+---
+
+# Makima Directive Commands
+
+These commands let orchestrators interact with directive state. Environment variables (`MAKIMA_API_URL`, `MAKIMA_API_KEY`, `MAKIMA_DIRECTIVE_ID`) are pre-configured by the daemon.
+
+## Status and Information
+
+### Get directive status
+```bash
+makima directive status
+```
+Returns full directive details including status, autonomy level, thresholds, and tracking info.
+
+### Get directive goals
+```bash
+makima directive goals
+```
+Returns the goal, requirements, acceptance criteria, constraints, and external dependencies.
+
+### List chains
+```bash
+makima directive chains
+```
+Returns all chains (plan generations) for the directive, ordered by generation.
+
+### Get chain with steps
+```bash
+makima directive chain <chain_id>
+```
+Returns a chain and all its steps with status, dependencies, and evaluation info.
+
+### List steps in a chain
+```bash
+makima directive steps <chain_id>
+```
+Returns just the steps array from a chain.
+
+## Status Updates
+
+### Update directive status
+```bash
+makima directive update-status <status>
+```
+Updates the directive status. Valid statuses: `draft`, `planning`, `active`, `paused`, `completed`, `archived`, `failed`.
+
+## Output Format
+
+All commands output JSON to stdout.
+
+Example workflow:
+```bash
+# Check directive details and goals
+makima directive status
+makima directive goals
+
+# List execution chains
+makima directive chains
+
+# Get details of a specific chain
+makima directive chain <chain_id>
+
+# Update status to active
+makima directive update-status active
+```
