## Why
Pre-commit config management was entirely manual — no skill existed to
help create, modify, or validate `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, or to run,
install, and maintain the pre-commit setup. These two skills close that
gap with clear scope separation: authoring vs. execution.
## Implementation Notes
- `pc-author` owns `.pre-commit-config.yaml` only (no hook publishing,
no install). Runs `pre-commit validate-config` after every write.
Shallow file-extension scan drives proactive hook recommendations;
rev staleness is flagged against `references/hooks-by-language.md`
rather than hardcoded versions. Remove path reverts on failure.
- `pc-run` owns install, run, autoupdate, gc, and clean. Defaults to
`--all-files`. Install warns about existing `.git/hooks/` files being
overwritten by `-f`. Clean requires HITL confirmation. Failure
interpretation delegates to `references/failure-patterns.md`.
- Provenance wired to `plugins/kyberforge/docs/research/docs/pre-commit/`.
- Both skills resolve via the existing `"skills/"` glob in `plugin.json`.
## Impact
Two new slash commands available after `claude plugin install kyberforge@holocron`:
`/pc-author` and `/pc-run`.

## Why
The initial research pass focused on agent definitions. An audit identified
critical and minor gaps in both doc sets around plugin publishing, marketplace
registration, and the Copilot extensibility model.
## Implementation Notes
Claude Code gaps filled: end-to-end publish walkthrough (scaffold → validate →
tag → host → register), CLI vs in-session command surface equivalence, all six
marketplace source URL formats, plugin update/upgrade lifecycle, interactive
plugin manager UI, private marketplace auth, `commands` vs `skills/` distinction.
Copilot gaps filled: discovered that the GitHub App-based Copilot Extensions
track was sunset November 2025. Created copilot-extensions.md as historical
reference (deprecated, with MCP servers as the current replacement path).
Documented the agent vs. skillset extension type distinction, OAuth install
flow, and VS Code Chat Participants as the surviving @mention mechanism.
overview.md updated with a "Which Track to Use" decision table covering all
four active tracks plus the deprecated one.

## Why
skill-author explicitly excludes agent definition files ("Do not use to author
agent definition files"). No factory skill existed to create or improve the
.md / .agent.md files that define Claude Code subagents and Copilot CLI agents
in a plugin, project, or user scope. This fills that gap.
## Implementation Notes
Single-root scaffold convention: new-agent.sh <name> <root> derives both
provider file paths from the root by convention — plugin scope (plugin.json
present) writes both files into <root>/agents/; non-plugin scope writes
.claude/agents/<name>.md and .github/agents/<name>.agent.md. This keeps
input minimal while always generating both provider files. See ADR-0015.
Routing is file-level (not directory-level like skill-author): neither file
exists → create flow; at least one exists → improve flow; scaffold is a
file-by-file no-op so retries are safe.
No companion agent-audit skill — inline validation in the close step covers
the simpler agent field contract. agent-audit is tracked as a follow-on.
## Impact
Closes the skill-author gap for agent definitions. Follow-ons tracked in
Gitea #11: agent-audit skill and --copilot-dest override flag for non-standard
Copilot project paths.

## Why
Parallel research track to the Claude Code plugins research already
committed. Needed to understand GitHub Copilot's extensibility model
before designing cross-tool plugin compatibility for the kyberforge
plugin system.
## Implementation Notes
Three distinct Copilot extension tracks are covered: CLI plugins
(plugin.json + marketplaces), cloud/IDE custom agents (frontmatter .md
files committed to repos), and the SDK programmatic API. The SDK track
got its own topic file (sdk.md) because the content doesn't fit neatly
into the default topic list. Sources include Context7 (/websites/github_en_copilot),
both user-provided reference URLs, and four additional deepened pages.
## Impact
Provides a reference baseline for evaluating .claude-plugin/ / plugin.json
compatibility between Claude Code and Copilot CLI — the two formats share
a manifest discovery path and the strict:false field enables cross-tool
plugin distribution.

skill-audit description understated its coverage by omitting three audit
dimensions (patterns, scripts, provenance); README carried the same stale
list. skill-author had an unconditional reference trigger that should be
conditional on whether a script is being added.

- Remove implementation-focused sentence from description (was not user-intent
language per agentskills.io spec)

Add validate-provenance.sh and validate-provenance.bats to enforce the
sources provenance chain introduced by skill-author. Eight checks cover
slug cross-references, Contributing files existence, bidirectional
source_keys linkage, Research doc: field presence, and upstream research
doc alignment (forward INFO, reverse FAIL). Adds a new Provenance report
dimension and INFO finding level (observational, exit-0, counted
separately as · P info in the result block).

Records the upstream agentskills.io sources that informed skill-audit,
continuing the research → docs → skill provenance chain.
- New references/sources.md with 7 extracted sources attributed to skill files;
agentskills-llms-txt demoted to discovery-only comment per skill-author precedent
- source_keys frontmatter added to SKILL.md (5 slugs), references/body-discipline.md

- script: new-skill.sh now exits 0 when target already exists (idempotent
retry-safe) instead of exit 1; --help updated to reflect narrowed error cases
- test: updated bats test to assert success and "nothing to do" output
- body: removed speculative "Extract the skill from a real task" advice
(human-targeted, not agent-actionable)
- formatting: converted H4 headings in Step 2 to bold text (H2/H3 two-tier model)
- provenance: removed orphan agentskills-llms-txt entry from references/sources.md;

Adds a sources provenance step to the skill creation workflow so the
chain from research output to skill content is traceable. Closes#4.
- New scaffold template `assets/templates/references/sources.md` mirroring
the research skill's sources.md format (slug → URL, description,
contributing files, status)
- `source_keys` commented-out optional field added to the SKILL.md
template, mirroring how research topic files link back to sources
- New Step 5 in the creation workflow: populate references/sources.md
from research input (attributing contributing skill files) or delete it
if no research was provided; add source_keys to SKILL.md and any
references/*.md files

Adds the gitea skill to kyberforge — a dispatch skill for managing
Defame1297/holocron via Gitea MCP from within Claude Code. Covers
issues, PRs, milestones, labels, branches, and status. Owner/repo

- Rewrite assets/templates/tests/README.md with correct repo-root context and
SKILL_NAME placeholder in bats run command (was: `bats tests/`, wrong CWD)
- Add sed substitution for tests/README.md in new-skill.sh so SKILL_NAME is

- skill-write SKILL.md: rephrase placeholder section-heading instruction
to remove embedded FILL IN: from a code span, clearing validator false positive
- skill-improve SKILL.md: wrap Step 2 root-cause example in a text fence
- skill-write assets/templates/README.md: update Files table to individual-

Both validate.bats and new-skill.bats constructed SCRIPT using
$(dirname "$BATS_TEST_FILENAME"), which resolves to tests/ — causing
every test to fail with file-not-found. Fixed to use
$BATS_TEST_DIRNAME/../scripts/ to reach the actual scripts/ directory.
Also clarifies that bats-support/bats-assert must be installed from the
repo root (not the skill root) to match where the tests load them from,
and adds text language tags to three output-template code blocks in
skill-audit's SKILL.md.

Move test infrastructure (validate.bats, new-skill.bats) from scripts/ to
tests/ — the spec defines scripts/ as executable code agents can run, so
test files don't belong there. Add tests/README.md placeholders with
bats-support dependency declaration.
Update skill-audit to permit tests/ and flag other unlisted directories,
add scripts/ purpose check, and add /skill-improve near-miss exclusion.

Add references/description-quality.md and references/body-discipline.md to
skill-audit — condensed, rubric-focused extracts from the agentskills.io
specification docs. Both files are loaded conditionally via progressive
disclosure triggers added to Step 3 (Description and Body discipline

borderline rather than relying solely on inline heuristics developed
during the skill-write authoring cycle.

- Move validate.sh ownership to skill-audit/scripts/ — it is the canonical

- Fix skill-audit Step 1 cross-skill path reference (was repo-absolute, now
skill-relative); add manual fallback for sandboxed/Bash-denied contexts
- Scope Step 2 "read every file" to exclude binaries and unreferenced files
- Fix new-skill.sh next-steps output to reference /skill-audit instead of
the removed validate.sh

Rewrote the skill authoring factory skill from scratch against the agentskills.io
specification. Renamed write-skill → skill-write (name now matches directory per spec).
skill-write:
- Full scaffold via new-skill.sh (annotated templates for SKILL.md, README.md,
scripts/, references/, assets/)
- validate.sh checks all spec constraints deterministically (name format/length,
description length, placeholder detection, line count, script rules)
- SKILL.md body includes description rules, body discipline, patterns, and scripts
guidance with "why" rationale throughout
- Templates usable standalone by agents and humans
skill-audit:
- Structural validation (via validate.sh) + seven qualitative dimensions
- Produces PASS/FAIL/SUGGESTION punch list with per-FAIL fix proposals
- Report-only: does not apply fixes
