061bb3d5b4 docs: correct the apm-only change after a five-agent review
A five-agent review of 718c79a and d2480b8 found no skill, agent or hook
regressions (39 skills before and after) and confirmed both hook removals
are genuinely moot -- verified against the tree, not taken on the commit's
word. It did find one functional regression (fixed separately) and this
documentation drift.

Counting errors, all from a git pathspec `*` crossing `/`:
  - 17 .bats files shipped to consumers is really 10; 17 counted tracked
    paths merely containing /tests/, one of them a template asset
  - "roughly 88s off every push" is ~92.4s; 88 omitted validate-plugins
  - "roughly 70% of each plugin remains live" holds only for kyberforge;
    the real spread is 44.3% (bin) to 70.6%, now a table
  - the pre-push enforcement row was half-corrected: 33 entries stood
    unstruck (now 27) and 14 -> 11 switched counting basis mid-sentence
  - the root .claude-plugin/plugin.json was described as "kept"; it has
    never been tracked

gates.md said "Ten hooks" above a nine-row table (11 was decremented for
one removal, not two), and "both need the claude CLI" for one remaining
validator. Its pretty-format-json exclude rationale claimed six
alternations expanding to sixteen files in a passage headed "Mind which
number you are quoting" -- four alternations, two live files; the two
dead ones are dropped from the pattern. check-useless-excludes could not
catch this: it only flags an exclude matching nothing at all.

ADR-0024 cited ADR-0006 for a patch-bump rule it does not contain and
which ADR-0015 explicitly retired; stated apm's marketplace probe order
backwards (.claude-plugin/ is the last candidate, not the first, so the
earlier .github/plugin/ deletion only demoted resolution); undercounted
apm's skill-deploying targets as seven when there are fifteen; and never
recorded that validate-plugins was removed. The symlink hedge is resolved:
apm_cli/security/gate.py's ignore_non_content() drops symlinks silently on
deploy while apm_modules/ materialization dereferences them, so content
survives that far and vanishes at install. Accepted with no replacement
guard, per decision -- kyberforge/docs/hooks.md previously asserted a
guard that had been deleted with its script.

Four plugin READMEs still advertised `claude plugin install`; ADRs 0001,
0006, 0013, 0014, 0015 and 0019 described deleted machinery in the present
tense, 0019 most consequentially as the live justification for the
SessionStart hook's .apm/ path. CONTEXT.md's "apm package" entry forbade
"plugin" while using it in its own body, and "Output profile" lost the
antecedent for "one catalogue serves both".

run-tests.sh gains the .claude/skills/ exclusion run-bats.sh already had.
Latent today -- no test-*.sh lives under any .apm/skills/*/tests/ -- but
apm now deploys those directories, so one would be discovered twice.

b9c7762463 docs: trim CONTEXT.md to a glossary and demote VISION.md
Why: CONTEXT.md is an instructed every-session read at 33,799 bytes (~8,450
tokens), and CONTEXT.md:17 layered docs/VISION.md on top. After the AGENTS.md
trim, that left ~9,650 tokens of instructed reads sitting behind a file whose
own format contract — grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md:43, "Keep definitions
tight. One sentence max." — it was not following. 22 glossary entries averaged
190 words; the top four were 55% of the file, and one ("Vale audit prefilter")
was 1,444 words of pre-commit forensics filed as a definition.

Implementation notes:
- CONTEXT.md rewritten to CONTEXT-FORMAT.md's prescribed template: ## Language
  (five clusters, 22 terms with _Avoid_ aliases), ## Relationships,
  ## Example dialogue, ## Flagged ambiguities. 33,799 -> 9,762 bytes.
- Vale prefilter forensics moved to docs/spec/gates.md under nine subsections:
  the two-copy style layout, vale-wrap.sh and the Vale 3.15.2
  text.frontmatter.description limitation, the --config argv defect (E100),
  glob scoping, the rule inventory, and 0-files-means-NOT-RUN.
- Instruction-file format and the bidirectional-reference principle moved to
  docs/spec/architecture.md, the latter flagged as aspirational: no instruction
  file carries a `when:` field, only 2 of 39 skills do, and the reference
  scanner script it names does not exist.
- Added a per-plugin scope table to architecture.md so "which plugin owns this
  skill" survives the trim, and corrected its claim that the content index
  lives in providers/claude-code/CLAUDE.md — that file is now two import lines
  and the index sits in core/AGENTS.md.
- "Repo and Gitea are the only source of truth" moved from CONTEXT.md's
  Principles into AGENTS.md session rules; it was operative guidance in a
  glossary. docs/VISION.md and LESSONS.md added to the on-demand list.
- The apm-consumed install entry (432 words) was deleted outright: all four
  consequences are already carried by README.md, ADR-0018, gates.md and
  AGENTS.md.
- ADR-0013, ADR-0015 and ADR-0017 each pointed at CONTEXT.md sections that
  moved; amended with dated supersession notes rather than left dangling.

Impact: the every-session set drops from ~15,700 to ~4,140 tokens across both
passes (-74%). The deleted "lint plugin" entry was also stale on a safety
claim — it said lint-runner inherits Edit, but ADR-0016 restored
`disallowedTools: Edit, Write, NotebookEdit` and CONTEXT.md was never updated.

302f6d0c19 fix(lint): tighten the SKILL.md word ceiling to 2770
MAX_WORDS=2900 was calibrated to the corpus median density and carried no
margin: at the densest observed 7.22 chars/word (~1.81 tokens/word) it permits
~5,240 tokens against the 5,000 it proxies for. 2770 holds the worst observed
density under the ceiling. The largest SKILL.md is 2,489 words, so the change
costs nothing today — 281 words of margin — and the header comment now argues
the new calibration rather than swapping the digits.

Both enforcement points move together, and a new test asserts they agree, since
a SKILL.md passing its own audit while the commit hook blocks it is the
disagreement this pair exists to prevent.

CONTEXT.md is deliberately left ungated: it is 2,816 words, and gating it would
block the build. Recorded here so the omission reads as a decision rather than
an oversight.

skill-audit's manual-fallback path listed only the line ceiling, so an agent
taking that path passed an oversized SKILL.md the hook then rejected. The word
ceiling is now named alongside it. agent-audit is deliberately unchanged: the
size hook scopes to SKILL.md only and agent-audit's validate.sh has no word
gate, so claiming it there would be false.

The Vale research doc still showed the MDX {/* vale off */} form under a
Markdown heading, contradicting CONTEXT.md and vale-run's troubleshooting
reference — that form suppresses nothing in plain .md. Fixed in both places it
appeared.

tests/run-tests.sh used mapfile (bash 4.0+) with unguarded array expansion,
though AGENTS.md tells contributors to run it and macOS ships bash 3.2. It now
collects via a while-read loop over process substitution and guards every
expansion. The newline-delimited find|sort pipeline is kept rather than -print0
with sort -z, whose BSD portability is the weaker link, and which matches
mapfile -t's previous behaviour exactly.

57654c4b02 docs(lint): correct the Vale scalar, size-ceiling and release-gate claims
Four claims in shipped agent-facing docs did not match verified behaviour.
These are read as ground truth by agents in other repos, so each was
reproduced against vale 3.15.2 before rewriting:

- CONTEXT.md and `vale-config/SKILL.md` said both `>` and `|` block scalars
  break the description scope. `|` does not — it lints normally and fires every
  alert, while `>` yields zero. An agent following the old text would rewrite a
  working `|` description into a plain multi-line scalar, which genuinely does
  break, inverting the intended remediation. Both now name the forms that do
  break and state that `|` does not.
- CONTEXT.md and ADR-0013 described the size hook as failing only above 500
  lines, omitting the 2900-word gate it also enforces. Both now describe the
  pair and state that `validate.sh` checks the same two.
- ADR-0014 recorded an accepted residual — a wholesale `assets/` deletion going
  unflagged — that commit 14c2c91 closed. Left as the point-in-time record and
  amended with an update describing the union-with-tag-manifest mechanism,
  following the amendment precedent in ADR-0005.
- `vale-config/SKILL.md` asserted a fresh `.vale.ini` fails until `vale sync`
  runs, contradicting its own note that built-in styles need no download. The
  claim is now scoped to package styles; this repo's two configs declare no
  packages and lint clean with zero syncs.

Also repoints AGENTS.md at the seven `gitea:*` skills — the `bin:gitea` route
it named no longer exists.

149d564f6a fix(lint): make the Vale gate actually gate, drop VagueQualifier
Round-3 review of PR #85 found the "enforcing" pre-commit hook enforced
nothing. Vale's exit code keys on error-level alerts alone: five of the
six rules were level: warning, so they exited 0, and pre-commit hides
output from a passing hook — the alerts were invisible and blocked
nothing. ADR-0013 rejected a report-only trial tier and then shipped one
by accident.

Flatten every rule to level: error. Vale's own exit code is then correct,
so the hook entry drops to a bare vale-wrap.sh call and the graded
error->FAIL / warning->SUGGESTION mapping disappears from both audit
skills: every alert is a FAIL, in the gate and the audit alike. No
ignorable tier, matching shellcheck, the test suite and
conventional-pre-commit.

Delete Kyberforge.VagueQualifier. Measured against the 41 skill/agent
files as they stood before the rule ever ran: 2 hits. One marginal
("very different" -> "fundamentally different"), one an unfixable false
positive — caveman/SKILL.md quotes "of course" as an example of filler,
a mention not a use — which forced the only Vale suppression comments in
the repo. Those four lines go with it; two of them were dead anyway,
suppressing a frontmatter-scoped rule on a body line. Held-out prose (273
files) fired 15 times, 9 inside out-of-scope research examples and the
rest one word in two idioms in a single doc. SentenceOpenerThereIs
survives: 22 held-out hits, both in-corpus hits clean rewrites, zero
suppressions.

Widen .vale.ini's globs to [**/SKILL.md], [**/agents/*.md] and
[**/*.agent.md]. The plugins/*/-prefixed globs scoped nothing — Vale's *
crosses /, so they already matched docs/research/examples/**/agents/*.md
and assets/templates/SKILL.md, the two paths CONTEXT.md claimed they
excluded. Scoping is and was the hook's files: regex. The old globs also
hid a silent false negative: a skill outside plugins/ matched no section,
so Vale reported 0 files and exited 0, which both audits read as clean.
They now treat a 0-file run as NOT RUN and fall back to full judgment.

Also:
- vale-wrap.sh resolves relative --config values and file arguments
  against the caller's cwd, as vale does, instead of the repo root, which
  hard-errored from a subdirectory and silently skipped flattening for
  file args that did not resolve from the root. Absolute paths inside the
  cwd are relativized so reports cite resolvable paths, not scratch ones.
- vale-run's exit-code model was documented backwards ("exits non-zero
  whenever it finds an alert at or above MinAlertLevel") and would have
  led anyone following it to build a gate that passes everything. Its
  Markdown suppression syntax was MDX-only and does not suppress in .md;
  corrected in the skill and its troubleshooting reference, with
  backtick/fence exemption documented as the first resort.
- skill-size-check.sh fails only above 500 lines, agreeing with
  skill-audit's validate.sh <= 500 pass.
- ADR-0013 and CONTEXT.md amended to match, recording why graded
  severities cannot gate.

Verified: 9 test scripts / 15 vale-wrap cases pass; vale-audit-prefilter,
skill-size-check and shellcheck pass --all-files; check-manifests and
claude plugin validate --strict clean. New tests fail against the old
script (3 of them) and pass against the new one.

792d3e1852 fix(lint): resolve round-1 and round-2 review findings on the Vale prefilter
Addresses PR #85's outstanding review items after grilling the open
questions against ADR-0013/CONTEXT.md/ADR-0010:

Blocking fixes:
- vale-wrap.sh: replace json.dumps() escaping (which silently defeated
  Vale's frontmatter scope on any description containing a quote,
  backslash, or non-ASCII char — ~58% of the corpus) with a single-quoted
  YAML scalar, substituting a Unicode right single quote for embedded
  apostrophes rather than '' doubling (Vale's frontmatter scanner isn't a
  full YAML parser and silently truncates on '' too).
- vale-wrap.sh: fix a blank-line-inside-a-folded-description truncation
  bug via indentation-based, blank-line-tolerant body capture; narrow
  flattening to `>`-style scalars only (`|` already works unflattened).
- skill-audit/agent-audit Step 1: make the vale-wrap.sh invocation
  cwd-independent via git rev-parse --show-toplevel, fixing a bug where
  no single cwd satisfied all three Step 1 commands.
- styles/Kyberforge/VagueQualifier.yml: prune 17 tokens verified
  false-positive-dominated on this repo's own voice via a real corpus
  sweep (obvious, clearly, usually, several, simple, easy, completely,
  simply, tiny, etc.), keep 13 with real or unattested noise. Revert the
  28 prose "fixes" those tokens drove across 14 skill files back to their
  original, correct wording, including a functional regression to
  caveman/SKILL.md's own filler-word list (a mention, not a use) — now
  guarded with vale-off comments against recurrence.

Gaps:
- --minAlertLevel=warning on the pre-commit hook and Step 1 invocation
  so warning-level rules actually surface, without collapsing the
  FAIL/SUGGESTION severity mapping skill-audit/agent-audit rely on.
- vale-wrap.sh: fix --config=<path> equals-form, absolute-path silent
  no-op, and a zero-file-argument stdin hang.
- Route vale-run and lint-runner through a documented wrapper script
  when a target repo has one, instead of unconditionally recommending
  bare `vale`.
- Wire Kyberforge.VagueQualifier/SentenceOpenerThereIs into skill-audit/
  agent-audit's dimension-mapping prose (Body discipline).
- Add plugins/lint/sources.md provenance for lint-runner (ADR-0010).
- Sync both marketplace.json lint-entry descriptions with plugin.json.
- Retune skill-size-check.sh's MAX_WORDS 5000->2900 (measured ~1.6-1.7
  tokens/word on this repo's corpus, the old value gated at ~8,500
  tokens against a stated 5,000 ceiling); fix the >/>= line-count
  boundary and wc -l undercount on files with no trailing newline.
- Document the vale binary as a Setup prerequisite in AGENTS.md.
- Fix SentenceOpenerThereIs's dead regex alternative and add a real
  sentence-start anchor/scope.
- Fix a stale docs/research/docs/vale/ index pointer in kyberforge's
  docs README (moved to plugins/lint/ in e1a5403).
- Rewrite ADR-0013's Consequences section past-tense to describe what
  actually landed, and record the styles-portability limitation
  (repo-root placement stays intentional; deferred to a separate
  session per this PR's review).

Test coverage: 9 new vale-wrap.sh fixtures (quotes, backslash/unicode,
blank-line paragraphs, --config= form, zero-arg/absolute-path handling,
literal-block no-regression) and boundary-pair tests for
skill-size-check.sh's line/word ceilings.

bash tests/run-tests.sh: 9 scripts + 125 bats assertions, all passing.
scripts/check-manifests.sh and claude plugin validate --strict: clean.

3324a73225 feat(lint): expand Vale audit prefilter into a broader plugin-content harness
Deferred item from PR #85 review. Per ADR-0013: cherry-picks two low-noise
rules from trialing write-good/alex against the real corpus (VagueQualifier,
SentenceOpenerThereIs) into styles/Kyberforge rather than adopting either
package wholesale (both are tuned for blog prose and were noisy on this
repo's terse, imperative instruction files - see the ADR's rejected-rule
list). Adds a new skill-size-check pre-commit hook enforcing agentskills.io's
500-line/5,000-token SKILL.md ceiling, currently unenforced. Fixes the 28
resulting violations across 20 existing SKILL.md/agent files so the
enforcing pre-commit hook lands clean.

governance.md/CONTROLS.md were evaluated and excluded as rule sources -
they're org/CI-infrastructure controls, not prose patterns Vale can express.
