Step 4 subagents read untrusted pages; say their content is data, not
instructions. Step 5 now repeats step 4, so it inherits the serial
fallback and the data rule. Body stays at 598 words, under the
ADR-0020 target.

The fan-out restored in 6683da5 had no degrade path for a target with no
spawn tool, which reproduces the silent degradation #116 was written
against. Step 4 now says to read serially and reduce each page to notes
when spawning is unavailable.
The change restores existing behaviour, so the version bump is a patch
(1.0.2) per skill-author's convention, not a minor. The body is trimmed
from 717 to under the 600-word ADR-0020 target without dropping any
instruction. ADR-0027 is updated to match.

6683da5 dropped allowed-tools on the premise that the list blocked
spawning. The repo's own docs describe the field as pre-approval, so the
list was never the cause and dropping it widened the tool surface for
nothing. Restore the list and keep the parallel fan-out in steps 4-5.
The spawn tool is not added: its name is sourced for Claude Code
(Agent) but not for Copilot or Codex, so spawns prompt rather than
being pre-approved.
ADR-0027 still asserts the dropped-list premise and is corrected
separately.

research instructed "spawn one subagent per URL" while its allowed-tools
granted no spawn tool, so it silently degraded to serial fetches. Three
other skills spawn subagents without trouble because they declare no
allowed-tools. The defect was the mismatch, not the spawning.
ADR-0027 records the agreement rule. research drops allowed-tools and
gets its steps 4-5 fan-out and the orchestrator-writes gotcha back
(1.0.1 -> 1.1.0).

check-skill-version-bump fails a push when a skill directory changed
against its merge-base with main (tests/ excluded) without a strictly
higher metadata.version than main. New, renamed and deleted skills are
exempt; every plugin is covered. Recorded as a dated section in
ADR-0022 and documented in gates.md.
Patch-bumps the 17 skills that changed on this branch without a bump,
so the branch passes its own gate. Simplification audit finding 33.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two related simplification-audit findings, bundled because they edit
some of the same skill-audit files and splitting would fragment
single-file diffs.
Finding 10: delete 48 per-skill/reference README.md files (they
restated SKILL.md in narrative form and no agent ever loads them) plus
2 scaffold templates. Drop the README criterion from skill-audit's
file-structure.md and finding-criteria.md, and the README-generation
step from skill-author's new-skill.sh; update new-skill.bats to match.
Plugin-root READMEs are kept intentionally, out of scope.
Finding 12: strip historical ADR-0020/ADR-0023 citations and
changelog-style narration from model-facing skill content across
kyberforge and git plugin skills. Delete skill-author's one-time
retrofit.md migration guide and its references. Some ADR-0023 tags
were not narration but check-rtk-prefix's required opt-out marker for
intentionally-bare git commands -- those were restored, not stripped.
Mirror re-synced and full pre-commit/pre-push suite verified green.

Only 12 of 39 skills carried metadata.version, and adoption tracked
which plugin a skill lived in rather than any stated rule: core,
gitea and lint were consistent adopters, bin and kyberforge were
consistent non-adopters, git was split with one outlier. There was
no documented convention, and skill-author's own bump logic was
already written as if presence were conditional.
metadata.version is now required on every skill. The 19 skills here
that never carried one (bin, kyberforge, gitea-files) are seeded at
1.0.0, not 0.1.0 -- that value stays reserved for a skill's actual
creation point under skill-author's existing convention. The
skill-frontmatter pre-commit hook now fails a SKILL.md missing the
field, the same class of failure as a missing name/description.
Full rationale in the new ADR. The git-plugin skills that also need
this field follow in the next commit, bundled with issue #113's rtk
normalization since both touch the same files.

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`.

Why:
ADR-0015 established that Microsoft APM (apm.yml + .apm/) should replace
this repo's hand-authored plugin.json/marketplace.json model, with those
files becoming compiled output of `apm pack` instead of files edited by
hand via the (now-retired) plugin-author/marketplace-author skills.
Issue #90 was the deferred execution of that decision, gated on #88
(apm tooling) and #89 (apm-native agent-author/skill-author routing).
Implementation notes:
- All six plugins (bin, core, git, gitea, kyberforge, lint) now carry
apm.yml + .apm/{skills,agents,hooks} as their authoring source. Skills
moved with a plain git mv (content-identical across targets). Agents
were re-authored, not moved: per ADR-0016, .apm/agents/*.agent.md
compiles verbatim to both Claude and Copilot, so plugin-scope agents
now carry only name/description/model/source_keys -- no tools: field,
no Claude-only knobs (isolation, maxTurns, effort, memory,
permissionMode).
- Root apm.yml registers all 7 marketplace packages (6 local plus
mattpocock-skills as a remote entry) under versioning: per_package,
matching this repo's existing independent-plugin-versioning practice.
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and every plugin's plugin.json are now
apm-pack-compiled output, verified against the prior hand-maintained
content: same names/descriptions/versions/licenses/authors, only
cosmetic serialization differences (JSON key order, owner email vs.
url, Unicode escaping).
- plugin-author and marketplace-author are retired now that apm-based
authoring fully replaces their job; kyberforge bumped 1.3.1 -> 1.4.0
for that removal, and the root marketplace catalog bumped
0.3.1 -> 0.3.2 to match, per the version-bump convention now
documented in apm-workflow's reference docs instead of a dedicated
script (apm has no native version-bump automation).
- Fixed hardcoded pre-.apm/ path assumptions across
.pre-commit-config.yaml, .pre-commit-hooks.yaml,
scripts/check-scope-walkup-sync.sh, scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh,
scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh, six plugins' root plugin.json
(stale skills/hooks/agents pointer fields that check-manifests.sh
validates), and several tests/*.bats and tests/*.sh fixtures --
including a bats REPO_ROOT relative-path depth bug (10 files, one
extra .apm/ directory level to walk up) and a vale probe-path
isolation regression introduced mid-fix.
- Corrected empirically-wrong assumptions surfaced this session in
apm-workflow/apm-install's own reference docs: `apm marketplace
package add` does not accept local paths (only owner/repo remote
shorthand -- local packages are registered by editing apm.yml's
marketplace.packages[] directly); `apm compile` is a consumer-side
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md generator, not the plugin.json producer, and
hard-fails on skill/agent-only packages without --clean; `apm plugin
init <name>` nests a stray subdirectory when run with a positional
name arg from inside a same-named directory; no native Copilot
marketplace output profile exists; .mcp.json is merged into the
compiled plugin.json content-aware and target-scoped, with no
dependencies.mcp entry needed for simple passthrough; pipx is the
correct pip fallback on externally-managed Python environments.
- Renamed agent-author's copilot.agent.md template asset to
copilot.agent.md.template so apm compile's recursive *.agent.md glob
stops misparsing the placeholder template as a real agent primitive.
Impact:
plugin.json and marketplace.json are compiled artifacts from here on --
editing them by hand is no longer the workflow; edit apm.yml/.apm/ and
run apm pack. CONTEXT.md's Plugin/Plugin marketplace glossary entries
reflect this. ADR-0001 is marked superseded, ADR-0006 moot, and
ADR-0010 updated for the new .apm/agents/ path (project/user scope
unaffected, per ADR-0016). Full local verification: claude plugin
validate --strict on all 6 plugins, apm audit --ci, apm marketplace
check, check-manifests.sh, and the full test suite (165/165 bats,
13/13 shell scripts) all pass clean.
