The Prerequisites checklist mixed items to confirm (preconditions) with an
action to perform (capturing git log), so the following "stop and ask if
missing" gate didn't logically apply to the git-log step. The improve flow
also had no reminder to update source_keys/sources.md when an edit touches
research-sourced content, unlike the create flow's explicit step for it.
Refs #69
Independent skill-audit found that agent-author's closing checklists never
verified template <!-- --> comments were stripped from frontmatter (produces
invalid YAML if left in), the Copilot field-exclusion checklist omitted two
fields present in the authoritative list, and the improve flow had no
agent-audit availability check unlike the create flow.
Prior sessions had authoring subagents report completion after only
staging changes (git diff --stat showing output, but no git commit).
agent-author's create and improve flows now require capturing
git log --oneline -1 before and after the authoring pass and asserting
the hash actually changed via a real commit, matching the fix already
applied to skill-author.
Refs #69
Independent /skill-audit recheck flagged the git-log-capture instructions
as discoverable only at close-out (Step 6/Step 5), long after the step
where the hash should actually be snapshotted. Adds the capture checklist
item to Prerequisites (create flow) and Step 1 (improve flow) instead of
leaving it as a retrospective-only note. Also drops a sentence in the
improve flow's Step 4 that duplicated the preceding one on editing
scripts/reference files directly.
Refs #69
Prior sessions had authoring subagents report completion after only
staging changes (git diff --stat showing output, but no git commit),
and one run self-spawned its own audit/recheck subagent instead of
leaving that to forge's outer loop, losing an uncommitted draft when
the stray subagent's worktree was torn down.
Refs #69, #71
Adds a Subagent orchestration section to AGENTS.md so orchestrating
agents know upfront: forks must stop once their assigned task is done
rather than autonomously draining a shared TaskList, governance-gated
actions must not be exposed to forks without a fresh confirmation
round, and TaskGet/TaskUpdate/TaskList are fork-only so the coordinator
must own task-list bookkeeping for fresh subagents itself.

The test's own `git -C "$TEMP_REPO" init` silently re-targets an inherited
GIT_DIR instead of creating a repo in the temp dir when this test itself
runs inside a git hook (e.g. pre-push sets GIT_DIR to the invoking repo's
gitdir). Unset all GIT_* vars at the top of the script so the temp repo
fixture is actually isolated regardless of the calling context.

scripts/install.sh hardcoded $REPO_ROOT/.git/hooks, which breaks under any
git worktree checkout (.git is a file there, not a directory) — this is
what blocks every worktree-based agent from pushing cleanly. Resolve the
hooks directory via `git rev-parse --git-path hooks` instead, normalizing
to an absolute path since git returns it relative to the queried repo root
for plain checkouts but absolute for worktrees.
Also drops `agents`/`skills` fields from plugins/bin, plugins/core, and
plugins/gitea plugin.json where the referenced directories don't exist on
main yet (bin never had an agents/ dir; core and gitea's real skill/agent
content is still pending merge from an in-flight branch) — these were
failing scripts/check-manifests.sh and blocking pushes for unrelated work.

skill-audit/agent-audit now proactively trigger after a skill/agent
file is hand-edited outside skill-author/agent-author, not just on
explicit request — closing a gap from this session where a fork's
direct edits to agent-author/agent-audit shipped without their own
inline audit until forge was invoked to check afterward.
Also: plugin-author gains a gotcha on claude plugin validate --strict
auto-discovering every .md under agents/ regardless of manifest
declarations (ADR-0010); agent-audit's dimension count and
validate-provenance.sh's --help now match actual behavior.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The gotcha claimed Gitea never auto-closes issues on merge. Confirmed
empirically (issue #63 / PR #64) that a regular merge preserving an
original commit's closing keyword does auto-close — only squash merges
(this skill's default) are unreliable. Also drops search_issues from
allowed-tools since no dispatch route calls it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Independent skill-audit clean-check surfaced that the dimension-mapping
list and manual-fallback checklist both skipped the counterpart-missing
case, which validate.sh already treats as a hard FAIL.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`claude plugin validate --strict` auto-discovers every .md under a
plugin's agents/ directory as an agent requiring frontmatter, so the
provenance file there always needs fake agent frontmatter to pass
validation. Confirmed empirically that an explicit `agents` manifest
array can't suppress this discovery. Move the file to <plugin-root>/
sources.md instead, and update agent-author/agent-audit accordingly.
Adds ADR-0010, partially superseding ADR-0005's `agents/sources.md`
convention. Fixes#63.

## Why
The git plugin only covered a partial slice of common git workflows.
This adds the remaining skill set (branches, commits, history, remotes,
submodules, workflow, worktrees) plus a git-orchestrate agent so the
plugin can handle end-to-end git automation instead of a handful of
commands.
## Implementation Notes
Each new skill was validated against its research docs and org
conventions after initial authoring, which surfaced hallucinated
version pins, factual errors, and completeness gaps that were
corrected in the same pass rather than left for follow-up.
## Impact
Bumps the git plugin to 1.3.0.

Step 4 ensures that after creating/updating artifacts in a plugin, forge invokes plugin-author (clean-context subagent) to bump the plugin version if not already done by other skills. Prevents missed version updates when artifacts are added to plugins.

kyberforge gains new forge skill for factory artifact routing; git gains pc-author and pc-run skills moved from kyberforge. Includes version parity fixes in CC manifests (ADR-0016).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Grills intent, classifies target artifact type (skill/agent/plugin/marketplace
entry) against a fully descriptive table, then routes to the matching author
skill via fork subagent (falling back to inline when fork is unavailable or
the flow needs live interaction). Adds an independent clean-context audit
recheck after each skill/agent route, looping author-then-audit until the
recheck comes back clean, since the author skill's own inline audit shares
context with the work it verifies. Updates CONTEXT.md's Skill composition
entry to describe this recheck loop and adds forge's provenance chain
(references/sources.md).
Refs Defame1297/holocron#61

Fills a gap needed for the planned forge orchestrator skill: neither doc set
previously stated when to build a skill vs a subagent/custom agent. Sourced
via context7 against the same libraries already recorded in each sources.md.
Also confirms agentskills.io's spec is runtime-agnostic and defines no agent
concept, so it has no bearing on this decision by design.
- agent-author: convert template comments from YAML (#) to HTML (<!-- -->)
- Easier to spot and distinguish from functional comments
- Add explicit "Delete template comments before shipping" reminders
- Update SKILL.md Steps 2-3 with removal instruction
- agent-audit: add comment-discipline check
- Flag excessive frontmatter documentation comments as padding
- Mirrors skill-audit's body-discipline principle
- Update coverage line to include comment-discipline dimension
This ensures agents follow the same comment-cleanup discipline as skills,
preventing template documentation from shipping with agent definitions.

## Why
Two issues were found in `validate-provenance.sh` by `/skill-audit`:
1. `find_plugin_root` only walked up looking for bare `plugin.json`, missing
the `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` layout used by kyberforge plugins — matching
the logic already present in `validate.sh`.
2. Check numbers in `--help` and inline comments had a gap (0,1,2,4,5,6) from
a previously removed check, making the numbering confusing to readers.
## Implementation Notes
Check numbers renumbered sequentially 0–5 in both the `--help` output block
and the inline `# --- Check N:` comments. The `find_plugin_root` condition now
mirrors the `detect_scope` function in `validate.sh`.

Corrects three FAIL findings from the skill-audit run:
- Scope detection table in SKILL.md and references/scripts.md now lists all
four plugin-marker variants the script actually checks (plugin.json,
.claude-plugin/plugin.json, .plugin/plugin.json, .github/plugin/plugin.json)
- assets/README.md copilot.agent.md description was wrong about field set;
replaced with accurate CLI-format description noting excluded cloud/IDE fields
and the Copilot tool aliases actually used.
Also applies the SUGGESTION: moves the conditional reference
(`If the destination is a plugin directory, read references/deployment-modes.md`)
out of the ## Gotchas section body and into ## Route as a standalone line,
immediately after ## Gotchas closes.
INFO findings (source_keys frontmatter) were already present in both
references/README.md and references/scripts.md — no change needed.

## Why
The description sentence "Handles both the full create flow (scaffold → fill →
validate) and the improve flow (signals → root cause → edit → audit)." describes
internal mechanics rather than user intent. The surrounding trigger phrases already
cover both create and improve intents, so this sentence adds no triggering value
and violates the description principle of focusing on what the user is trying to
achieve.

Remove phantom cross-file name-match claim from SKILL.md manual fallback
list (validate.sh has no such check). Fix broken bats stem-mismatch test
to overwrite the Copilot file instead of the CC file, exercising the
actual Copilot stem check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0147vXtL5sP6vorDdqXGJJU9
- Fix validate.sh: remove incorrect name==stem check for CC files (CC docs say filename need not match name field); keep check for Copilot CLI only
- Fix validate.sh: plugin scope detection now checks both plugin.json and .claude-plugin/plugin.json
- Fix validate.sh: Copilot cloud/IDE agents (.github/copilot/agents/) have name as optional; path-based guard added
- Add validate.sh checks: Copilot body length >30,000 chars (SUGGESTION), Copilot-only fields in CC files (FAIL), subagent-unavailable tools in tools field (SUGGESTION)
- Add references/description-quality.md as conditional escape hatch for borderline description findings
- SKILL.md: name five audit dimensions in description; sharpen indirect-trigger phrasing
- SKILL.md: label pair-mandate as kyberforge project convention, not platform requirement
- SKILL.md: scope redundant name-match/body-empty checks to manual fallback only
- SKILL.md: add conditional reference to description-quality.md; update provider-safety description for new check categories; fix plugin scope gotcha to mention .claude-plugin/plugin.json
- SKILL.md: add INFO tier to result block template
- Add source_keys frontmatter to references/README.md; update sources.md to add description-quality.md to contributing files

- SKILL.md Step 6 (create) / Step 5 (improve): add pre-audit manual checklists and version bump conventions (minor for create, patch for improve)
- README.md: correct false claim that the skill bumps plugin manifests; it bumps metadata.version only

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0147vXtL5sP6vorDdqXGJJU9
## Why
agent-author produces agents/sources.md at plugin scope to record which
research sources informed which agent files. agent-audit had no way to
validate this chain, leaving stale or missing provenance undetected.
## Implementation Notes
Validation is per-pair (the given agent file + its counterpart) rather
than plugin-wide, keeping the scope consistent with validate.sh. The
script exits 0 silently for non-plugin-scope agents.
source_keys is top-level in both CC .md and Copilot .agent.md files
(not under metadata:) to avoid conflict with Copilot's own metadata
field semantics. Checks 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 mirror the skill provenance
set; upstream research-doc cross-reference checks (7, 8) are deferred.
agent-author Steps 2, 3, and 4 updated to formally specify the
agents/sources.md format and instruct authors to add source_keys to
both files when research sources are in context.

## Why
The last acceptance criterion from #11: agent-author's close step should
reference agent-audit so authors are prompted to validate the pair before
shipping, matching the pattern skill-author uses with skill-audit.
Refs: #11
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0147vXtL5sP6vorDdqXGJJU9
## Why
agent-author produces paired agent definition files (Claude Code .md +
Copilot .agent.md) but had no companion audit skill to validate them.
agent-audit fills that gap, giving the same structured PASS/FAIL report
that skill-audit provides for SKILL.md files.
## Implementation Notes
- validate.sh uses scope detection (walk up for plugin.json / .git) to
locate the counterpart file and determine whether plugin-silently-ignored
fields (hooks, mcpServers, permissionMode) should be flagged
- CC-only and silently-ignored field lists are read from
references/field-inventory.md at runtime rather than hardcoded —
provenance back to the research corpus; see ADR-0019
- Single-file invocation (pass either file, counterpart derived) chosen
over directory or name+root — see ADR-0018
- 12 bats tests cover provider detection, scope detection, all FAIL paths,
and clean-pair pass
## Impact
- kyberforge bumped to v1.1.2
- agent-author close step should be updated to reference agent-audit (#11)
- Provenance/sources chain check deferred to #60

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0147vXtL5sP6vorDdqXGJJU9
## Why
The existing kyberforge research covered skills vs agents (ADR-0010),
Copilot track selection, and agent scope hierarchy — but had no documented
basis for three practical decisions: when to use MCP servers vs skills vs
agents, when hooks are the right tool vs skills, and when bin/ is
appropriate vs scripts/ inside a skill directory. Without this, the
plugin-author and agent-author skills have no research backing for those
choices.
## Implementation Notes
Sourced from official Claude Code plugin docs (code.claude.com), official
GitHub Copilot CLI docs (docs.github.com), and the Copilot
customization-cheat-sheet and comparing-cli-features pages — the latter
containing the only official "putting it together" decision table across
components. Context7 MCP was the primary retrieval mechanism; web reads
deepened the hooks and bin/ content.
Three files produced:
- overview.md — mental model, component roles, cross-provider portability
- decision-guide.md — explicit decision tables for all three gaps,
including anti-patterns and Copilot surface support matrix
- hooks.md — full lifecycle event reference, stdin/stdout schema,
hookSpecificOutput per event, plugin scope restriction

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0147vXtL5sP6vorDdqXGJJU9
## Why
The repo moved from a chunk-based delivery model with `.agents/skills/`
as the canonical skill source to a plugin model. Several files retained
references to the old model that were either dead code or misleading
framing.
## Impact
- `tests/test-install.sh`: dead `.agents/skills/` test blocks removed;
suite now tests only what `install.sh` actually deploys
- `scripts/deploy-manifest.sh`: `DEPLOY_SKILLS_SRC` variable and stale
`sync.sh (Chunk 6)` comment removed
- `tests/test-git-hooks-install.sh`: fixture stub no longer declares
the removed `DEPLOY_SKILLS_SRC` variable
- `docs/VISION.md`: chunk delivery framing replaced with plugin model
language throughout; manual test plan date updated
- `tests/test-instructions-and-docs.sh`: stale test plan date flagged
as pre-refactor so readers know a re-run is needed
Refs: #15
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
overview.md described the chunk-based delivery model, which is superseded
by the marketplace/plugin pivot. architecture.md was equally stale: it
described .agents/skills/ as the canonical skills source (directory does not
exist), a provider-manifest.sh symlink mechanism (never built), and sync.sh /
init-project.sh as existing scripts (Chunk 6, not yet built).
## Implementation Notes
- overview.md deleted; all cross-references scrubbed from AGENTS.md, CONTEXT.md,
and three notes/research files
- architecture.md fully rewritten: content deployment model reflects actual
install.sh behaviour (DEPLOY_FILES / DEPLOY_EXECUTABLES / DEPLOY_DIRS);
plugin model section added listing all 5 plugins; directory structure section
removed (was describing a layout that no longer exists)
- "Chunk 6" phase label → "planned"; "chunk workflow" removed from AGENTS.md
description
- Fixed broken path docs/HUMANS.md → docs/wiki/HUMANS.md in governance layer
and core/instructions/governance.md
Refs: #15
## Why
ROADMAP.md was a static file that duplicated tracking information now
owned by Gitea milestones and issues. Keeping it created a maintenance
burden — references drifted out of sync with the actual state of work,
and agents were directed to read it when the source of truth had moved.
## Implementation Notes
All inbound references replaced with either the relevant Gitea milestone
("Skills & Agents") or removed where the context made them redundant.
Test assertions that verified ROADMAP.md content removed; test output
strings updated to drop the ROADMAP cross-reference instruction.
## Impact
Agents no longer read docs/ROADMAP.md at session start. Gitea milestones
and issues are the canonical source for roadmap and open-question tracking.

## Why
The ## Key rules section was intentionally removed from AGENTS.md as
redundant. Two test assertions — one requiring its presence in AGENTS.md
and one confirming it was absent from CLAUDE.md — are now stale and block
pushes.
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
The WARNING admonition blocks in CLAUDE.md and providers/claude-code/CLAUDE.md
added noise without adding clarity — the file paths already communicate which
config is which. The "Key rules" block in AGENTS.md duplicated guidance already
present in the content index above it.
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
Structure section listed .claude-plugin/, docs/, scripts/, tests/ —
all either obvious or carrying stale annotations (Chunk 6, sync.sh).
HUMANS.md path updated to docs/wiki/ after the wiki move. sync.sh
key rule removed since the script doesn't exist yet.
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
CONTEXT.md had grown stale and noisy after the plugin/Gitea pivot.
Working context section duplicated AGENTS.md verbatim; Skills entry
still described the defunct .agents/skills/ direct path; several
glossary entries carried stale "Chunk 4" / "Chunk 6" framing from the
superseded delivery model.
## Impact
- Working context principle removed (live copy is in AGENTS.md)
- Skills glossary is plugin-only (direct path confirmed absent from repo)
- Skill composition, AGENTS.md glossary, and Bidirectional reference
principle no longer reference chunk numbers
Refs: #15
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
Part of issue #15 (refactor: align repo with marketplace/plugin model).
docs/issues/ and docs/prd/ are gone; Gitea is now the canonical tracker
(ADR-0017). LESSONS.md glossary entry needed to survive the upcoming
ROADMAP.md slim-down.
## Impact
- Docs convention no longer lists docs/prd/ or docs/issues/ naming entries
- NNNN explanation scoped to ADRs only
- Provider-agnostic issue tracker entry drops file-based-phase language
- LESSONS.md has a first-class glossary entry
