refactor(skills): retrofit the corpus to the ADR-0020 context contract (#129)

Browse Source 
Retrofits all 39 skills to ADR-0020's description/body context contract, then fixes what six rounds of independent review found in that retrofit — including four ways the hot gate itself failed open.

Closes #99, #107, #108, #110, #111, #114, #115, #120.

## The retrofit (waves 1-5)

| | Start | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Description FAILs (>400 chars) | 26 | **0** |
| Body FAILs (>900 words, body-only) | 9 | **0** |
| Dangling routing targets | 2 | **0** |
| `Kyberforge.CompositionNote` | 10 | **0** |
| Preload tax | 21,005 chars | **~10,500** |

Under the 12,000-char success criterion. Per-wave detail is on #99.

## The review fixes

**The gate failed open four ways, three of them found after the retrofit shipped.** An unrecognised follower token made a dangling target vanish. A skill directory with no `SKILL.md` resolved as a valid target, so a commit could be green locally and red in a fresh clone — three existing fixtures were relying on that, one of which made the install-leak A/B pass vacuously. Then the free-standing `/name` sweep turned out to be gated on the sentence carrying a boundary marker, so route notation in any other sentence was invisible — not an ERROR, not a SUGGESTION, not an INFO — which left the documented "`/name` always blocks" promise false from a second direction. All four fixed and pinned.

**Two checks were silently not running.** `validate-provenance.sh` checks 7-8 were dead across nine skills. Waking them exposed a deeper problem: they assume `Research doc:` names a source index, but 30 of 121 entries point at topic content documents, so every new check-7 INFO was a false positive and check 8 was saved from a false-FAIL flood only by an *unannounced* skip. Checks 7/8 are now scoped to source indexes and every skip announces itself (#121).

**The retrofit's own anti-goal, four times.** ADR-0020 warns that a blunt gate gets satisfied by deleting content rather than relocating it. `diagnose` and `skill-audit` relocated prose and then read it unconditionally; `prototype` and `vale-config` deleted rules outright that survived nowhere. All four addressed.

## Verification

- `bash tests/run-tests.sh --strict` — 24 suites, 0 skipped, 0 failed
- `bash tests/run-bats.sh` — 325 tests, 0 failures
- `pre-commit run --all-files` — 17/17
- `pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-push --all-files` — 16/16, with `apm marketplace check` and `apm pack --check-clean` run against the remote, not skipped
- `scripts/skill-size-check.sh` over all 39 skills — rc 0, 0 ERROR/FAIL, SUGGESTION-only
- Preload tax measured at **10,498 chars**, max description 390 — both inside budget
- Every new test proven non-vacuous by a deliberate mutation of the behaviour it covers

**Per-commit sync, stated accurately:** the ten commits from the latest review round each pass `check-plugin-content-sync` in isolation, verified by checking each out in a detached worktree with a clean between. The earlier gitea window (`dfacf05..bedbd1d`, nine commits) does **not** — its mirror was regenerated in one batch at `bbc7300`. An earlier revision of this description claimed the property held for every commit; it does not, and a bisect through that window lands on a red commit. **Squash-merge** to collapse it, or accept that this range is not bisectable.

## Version bump

Six plugins and the catalog take a **patch**, not a minor. The branch is **89 commits — 40 `fix` / 30 `refactor` / 12 `docs` / 5 `chore` / 2 `test` — zero `feat`, zero `!`, zero `BREAKING CHANGE`** — and adds no skill, agent, command or hook. (Two earlier revisions of this section cited a stale histogram, most recently 78 commits; the figures above are measured at HEAD.) Both rules this repo ships (`forge/references/version-bump.md`, landing in this PR, and `git-commits/references/conventional-commits-spec.md`) make that a patch, and the catalog set is unchanged at 7 entries.

Not settled by that: four published files were removed from the installed tree, three moved, and `caveman` gained `disable-model-invocation`, retiring its old triggers. Under a strict reading those are major-class and currently ship under `refactor:` with no marker. Whether the deployed skill surface is a public contract is written down nowhere — worth deciding, but it outlives this PR.

## Deliberately not in scope

#112 (cherry-pick ownership, now resolved in favour of `git-commits`), #113 (`rtk git` normalisation), #116 (research fan-out), #101 (audit-skill merge), #122 (non-spec skill-root files), #123 (no PRD producer) stay open. #117 is the one worth reading: the contract's remedy is to move prose into `references/`, which is exactly where neither the size gate nor Vale looks — and the blind spot is wider than #117 currently records, since there is no root `.vale.ini` at all, so every ADR, `CONTEXT.md` and `README.md` is unlinted too.

That blind spot let this branch carry two `level: error` `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs` violations into `references/` files it created — `provider-adapter-author/references/provider-matrix.md:31` and `agent-audit/references/finding-criteria.md:95`. Both are reworded in `afadaae`, confirmed by routing each file through the audit's own `vale-wrap.sh` (1 error each before, 0 after). Five further occurrences sit in `references/` files already on `main`; those are the pre-existing corpus and stay with #117, which is the real fix.

Also unfixed and not this PR's: `apm install` appends a duplicate `SessionStart` entry to `.claude/settings.json`, so a fresh clone cannot get pre-push green without an edit AGENTS.md warns against. Reproduces identically on `main`.

Manage Git worktrees to enable multi-branch parallel development across isolated directories.
Use when the user needs to work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing, switch between feature/hotfix/experimental work, or coordinate code reviews alongside ongoing development.
Handles creation, listing, locking, moving, removal, pruning, and repair of worktrees.
Provides structured results (paths, branches, lock status) for agent composition in git orchestration workflows.
Do not use when only inspecting a single branch or when the user needs standard checkout/stash workflows.
Use when working on several branches at once without stashing —
manages the full lifecycle of a git worktree.
Not ordinary branch switching or checkout -> `git-branches`.
Not interactive multi-step git guidance -> `git-workflow`.

## Concept
A worktree lets you check out multiple branches simultaneously from one repository, each in its own directory. All worktrees share the same objects, config, and most refs (`refs/`). Each worktree has its own `HEAD`, index, and per-worktree metadata (`ORIG_HEAD`, `MERGE_HEAD`, `refs/bisect/`, `refs/worktree/`, `refs/rewritten/`) stored at `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/<name>/`. The **main worktree** (from `git init`/`git clone`) is exactly one per repo and cannot be removed; **linked worktrees** are the additional ones created via `git worktree add`.
## Gotchas
- **A branch can only be checked out in one worktree at a time.** Attempting `git worktree add` for an already-checked-out branch fails unless you pass `--force`. Use `--force` only when intentional.
- **Submodules are unsupported and block operations.** Repos with submodules have incomplete worktree support. Worktrees containing submodules cannot be moved and require `--force` to remove.
- **Never manually `rm -rf` a worktree directory.** This leaves stale metadata in `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/`. Always use `git worktree remove`. If already deleted, run `git worktree prune` to clean up.
- **Manual moves break bidirectional pointers.** If a worktree directory is moved outside of `git worktree move`, run `git worktree repair` to fix connections.
- **Force-flag escalation with locks.** Removing or moving a locked worktree requires `-ff` (two flags), not just `-f`.
- **Worktree identification is by full path, unique basename, or unique partial path.** Ambiguous names error. Use `git worktree list` to see available identifiers.
- **`--lock` on `add` is atomic; create-then-lock has a race window.** Use `--lock` directly on `git worktree add` when consistency matters.
- **`extensions.worktreeConfig = true` is a one-way door.** It enables per-worktree config (`git config --worktree ...`) but makes the repo refuse to open in older Git versions. Once set, `core.bare`/`core.worktree` must live in `config.worktree`, not `config`. Don't enable it unless per-worktree config is actually needed.
- **A branch can be checked out in only one worktree at a time.** `git worktree add` on an already-checked-out branch fails; `--force` is the only override, so use it only deliberately.
- **Never `rm -rf` a worktree directory.** That strands metadata in `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/`. Use `git worktree remove`, or `git worktree prune` afterwards.
- **Submodules break worktree support.** A worktree containing submodules cannot be moved at all, and needs `--force` to remove.
- **`extensions.worktreeConfig = true` is a one-way door.** Without it, `git config --worktree` errors; with it, that flag writes to the worktree's own `config.worktree` file, and `core.bare`/`core.worktree` are forced there too. It also breaks older Git. Leave it off unless per-worktree config is needed.
## Common Operations
## Step 1 — Dispatch
**Create and switch to a new worktree** — default approach:
```bash
git worktree add -b <new-branch> <path>
cd <path>
```
This creates a new branch and checks it out in a new directory. Other branches cannot be checked out elsewhere simultaneously.
| Operation | Run |
|---|---|
| Create on a branch that already exists locally | `git worktree add <path> <branch>` |
| Create on a new branch | `git worktree add -b <branch> <path>` |
| Create on the branch named after the path basename | `git worktree add <path>` — checks that branch out if it exists, else creates it from HEAD |
| Create and reset an existing branch to HEAD — discards its commits | `git worktree add -B <branch> <path>` |
| Create a local branch tracking a remote one | `git worktree add --track -b <branch> <path> <remote>/<branch>` — always correct. `git worktree add <path> <branch>` expands to exactly this, but **only** under the conditions in `references/worktrees.md` |
| Throwaway experiment, no branch | `git worktree add -d <path>` — detached HEAD |
| **Never** `git worktree add <path> <remote>/<branch>` | That ref resolves, so the shortcut never fires and you get **a detached HEAD, no branch, no upstream**. Commits there go unreachable once HEAD moves, and `git push` needs an explicit refspec. Use the tracking row above |
| List | `git worktree list -v`, or `--porcelain -z` to parse |
| Lock or unlock | `git worktree lock [--reason <str>] <path>` / `git worktree unlock <path>` |
| Move | `git worktree move <from> <to>` |
| Remove | `git worktree remove <path>` |
| Prune stale metadata | `git worktree prune --dry-run`, then without the flag |
| Repair after a manual move | `git worktree repair` — in the main worktree if *it* moved, or inside a linked worktree that moved. `git worktree repair <path>...` — from any worktree, naming each moved linked worktree's new path |
**Create-or-reset a branch**: `git worktree add -B <branch> <path>` — like `-b` but resets the branch to HEAD if it already exists.
If the operation needs anything the table does not carry — the full `add` flag
table, orphan branches, sparse-checkout, locking for removable media, remote
disambiguation across several remotes, how to name a worktree unambiguously,
worktree config keys, or the worked emergency-fix and PR-review patterns — read
`references/worktrees.md`.
**Create a worktree for an existing remote branch**:
```bash
git worktree add <path> <remote>/<branch>
```
For ambiguous names across remotes, disambiguate via `checkout.defaultRemote` config or `--guess-remote`. Full flag table and detail: `references/worktrees.md`.
Gates:
**Throwaway experiment in detached HEAD**:
```bash
git worktree add -d ../experiment # or --detach
# experiment freely, no branch created
git worktree remove ../experiment
```
- **`move`, `remove` — the main worktree cannot be moved or removed.** Only linked worktrees, the ones `git worktree add` created, are candidates.
- **`add`, `move`, `remove` — escalate force flags one step at a time.** `-f` overrides a safeguard such as an unclean tree; `move` and `remove` need `-ff` on top of that when the worktree is locked. Confirm with the user before either — both discard state.
- **`add` — lock at creation, not after.** `git worktree add --lock` is atomic, where add-then-`lock` leaves a window in which the worktree is unprotected.
**List all worktrees with state**:
```bash
git worktree list -v # human-readable with lock/prune reasons
git worktree list --porcelain -z # machine-readable, NUL-terminated
```
## Step 2 — Report
**Move a worktree to a new path**:
```bash
git worktree move <current-path> <new-path>
# Cannot move: main worktree, worktrees with submodules
# To override safeguards: -f; to override locked state too: -ff
```
**Remove a worktree**:
```bash
git worktree remove <path> # only if clean
git worktree remove -f <path> # force-remove unclean
git worktree remove -ff <path> # force-remove even if locked
```
**Prune stale metadata**:
```bash
git worktree prune --dry-run # preview what would be removed
git worktree prune # clean up orphaned metadata
```
Also triggered by `git gc`, controlled by `gc.worktreePruneExpire` config.
**Repair broken connections** (after a manual move):
```bash
git worktree repair # from main worktree or after it was moved
git worktree repair <path> # reconnect a specific linked worktree
```
Sparse-checkout worktrees, locking for removable media, the full `add` flag table, and the config key reference: `references/worktrees.md`.
## Worked Examples
**Emergency fix without disrupting current work** — no stashing needed, ongoing work in the main worktree is untouched:
```bash
git worktree add -b emergency-fix ../temp main
cd ../temp
# fix, commit
git commit -a -m "fix: critical production bug"
cd -
git worktree remove ../temp
```
**Review a PR branch alongside your current work** — no context switch, both branches stay checked out:
```bash
git worktree add ../review-pr-123 origin/feature-xyz
# open ../review-pr-123 in a second editor window or terminal
```
## Return Format for Agents
When invoking worktree operations, return structured results:
```yaml

Derive these fields from `git worktree list --porcelain -z` — its `worktree`/`branch`/`HEAD`/`locked` lines map directly to `path`/`branch`/`commit`/`locked`+`lock_reason`.
For single operations, include the operation result (e.g., `created: true`, `removed: true`, `moved: true`).
For multi-step flows spanning branch strategy plus worktree setup, compose with the `git-workflow` skill — it handles the broader orchestration, this skill handles the worktree mechanics.
