I love these threads

Here are my agreements. Next I give the degree of likelyhood pard would take it as such, since some sequences aren't hard-coded in my book. They're meta-agreements.

It goes
(2♥) Dbl (3♥)

What do these mean:
4NT ------------------------- minors 55, 85% (15% pard might take it as blackwood)
dbl-3♠-4NT ------------- RKCB for spades, 100%
dbl-3♠-5♣ ----------- 1246, 95% (5% voidwood!! oops)
dbl-3♠-4♥ ----------- spade support, extras. 100%
dbl-4m-4♥ ------------- support for m, extras. 100%
dbl-4m-4♠ ------------- support for m, no heart control, 80% (20% 4♠-4m). I don't think we'd bid this, though.
dbl-4m-4NT --------------- RKCB for m, 100%
dbl-4♦-5♣ ---------- support for diamonds, club ace, open hearts. 100%
4♥-4♠-4NT -------- 4♠ some sort of waiting bid, 4NT = who knows. 50% (50% 4♠-4m with 4NT RKCB spades)
4♥-4♠-5♣ ------ Doubler cued on the way to 5♣.

I haven't written a book but here are my answers:

4NT = natural.

Dbl- 3S-4NT = natural, to bid RKC partner should bid 4H first.

Dbl - 3S - 4H = forcing, assume looking for the best strain but could be a slam try.

Dbl - 4m - 4H = slam try in the minor.

Dbl - 4m - 4S = Suggestion to play the 4-3.

Dbl - 4m - 4NT = natural, as above.

Dbl - 4D - 5C = I would expect a 3-2-3-5 shape, NF.

4H - 4S - 4NT = keycards.

4H - 4S - 5C = slam try in clubs.

You didn't ask:

Dbl - 4C - 4D = forcing, looking for the best strain, probably 4 spades and 4 diamonds.

Dbl - 4C - 5D = to play, hoping partner could pass 3HX.
