Defame1297	1ec3e8a1ea	docs(skills): stop routing content at the README this branch deleted ... skill-author still told authors to move description overflow "to the body or to README.md" while this branch deleted every per-skill README.md, every references/README.md and the README scaffold template. factory-audit's skill-file-structure.md bans non-spec files at the skill root, and the line that used to carve README out of that rule went with them. So skill-author created the file, factory-audit failed it, and nothing read it. 8ce5392 fixed the two scripts and missed the reference prose. The two contract.md files now differ deliberately: a skill's overflow goes to the body or a references/ file, an agent's to the body alone, because an agent is a single file with no references/ directory to disclose to. agent-description-quality.md's "the plugin's README.md" is left alone, plugin READMEs being the ones that survive. Deleting retrofit.md also dropped three instructions baa2f5d did not restore with the cut list, two of which retrofit.md itself recorded as having no validator behind them: re-cite sources.md's Contributing files after content moves, since validate-provenance exits 0 on exactly that drift, and re-check a relocated gate's reachability, since a Gotcha moved into one flow's file is invisible to the others and the word counts improve either way. The third is that boundary clauses are plural — contract.md read as a cap where git-remotes carries four. Also: contract.md named an unqualified scripts/validate.sh that does not exist in skill-author, which skill-file-structure.md calls a hard error; and agent-body-and-delegation.md's simile pointed at a stale README row as the characteristic skill defect, a defect class that can no longer occur, replaced with a SKILL.md naming a references/ file that is not there. skill-author 1.0.4, agent-author 1.0.3, factory-audit 1.0.2.

Defame1297	baa2f5dc7f	docs(kyberforge): restore the retrofit cut order in skill-author ... improve.md still required a retrofit before extending but lost the procedure with retrofit.md. Restore the ordered cuts inline, and fix the stale hook name and plugin-mode wording in skill-author's tests and deployment-modes reference.

Defame1297	620f20b0fd	refactor(kyberforge)!: merge skill-audit and agent-audit into factory-audit ... Why The two audit skills carried 1,724 lines of byte-identical duplication: the ADR-0020 boundary resolver (1,061), vale-wrap.sh (526), the Vale style rules (44) and the Contributing-files parser (93). Nothing shared them — they were held in sync by a 413-line pre-push gate and its 797-line test suite. Sync-by-gate had already failed once: at 484357a the two parser copies drifted into different spellings of the bullet loop while a docstring asserted they were identical. That drift was behaviour-neutral and was re-unified by hand at 598a7c3, so the copies were identical at merge time — but nothing had caught it, and the next drift need not be neutral. Implementation Notes Self-containment binds BETWEEN skills, not within one. The agentskills.io spec forbids reaching across skill directories, which is why two separate skills needed embedded copies; two files inside ONE skill may source a third. That is the whole reason the merge removes duplication rather than relocating it. The union of both bodies measured 1,532 words against BODY_MAX_WORDS=900, and only 211 of those words were shared, so SKILL.md is a dispatch body. Step 0 resolves the flow from the target path before any validation, and its table mirrors validate.sh's detection exactly: a directory holding SKILL.md or a SKILL.md file (skill); a *.agent.md, or a .md directly under an agents/ directory (agent); anything else stops without running a validator. Steps 1-3 live in references/skill-flow.md and references/agent-flow.md, and gotchas that apply to one flow live in that flow's file, since it is loaded on every invocation anyway. If validate.sh reports on the other artifact type, the body restarts at Step 0. Named factory-audit rather than forge-audit because forge is a live skill, and a family prefix that matches a live sibling reads as ownership rather than membership. The description carries one arrow per boundary target, because ADR-0020 resolves only the first target after an arrow. It drops the quoted "audit this skill"-style phrases, which restated "audited" in a second register (ADR-0020's duplicate-register rule). 241 characters, Gotchas 16% of the body: no size SUGGESTIONs. The boundary resolver stays embedded in two files rather than imported: a cache-installed plugin cannot read outside its own directory, and the repo-root hook resolves via .pre-commit-hooks.yaml where entry[0] is the only token pre-commit rewrites, so no single file is reachable by both. tests/test-adr0020-contract.sh hashes both copies for byte-identity, and asserts validate.sh sources the resolver and that no third copy exists. The entry scripts classify the target from its resolved parent directory, so a bare agent filename typed inside agents/ works; resolve SCRIPT_DIR CDPATH-safely; and exit 2 when a lib-*.sh is missing, rather than dying with exit 1, the tier the flows relay as real findings. The provenance run functions stash their findings code in KYBERFORGE_PROV_RC and return 0, so validate-provenance.sh calls them UNTESTED. Testing a function's status (`f || RC=$?`) disables errexit for its entire body, and no subshell or `set -e` inside can re-arm it once the call sits in a condition context (measured, both spellings). Their error paths use `exit`, which is unaffected either way; this keeps errexit armed for anything added later. Case 0's readability guard reads the file instead of asking `[[ -r ]]`. `-r` is access(2), which answers yes for uid 0 even on a mode-000 file, and this repo's dev environment is root -- so the guard could never fire where it exists to fire. A read attempt is also the stricter question, catching EIO. This is the reasoning scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh carried before this commit deleted it; the hazard did not go with it. All three entry scripts are CDPATH-safe, vale-wrap.sh included: both of its cd sites are cleared, the --config resolution and the directory-mirror walk, where an exported CDPATH would otherwise print a decoy path into the -print0 stream and build the mirror from the decoy's files. The two remaining bare cd calls take absolute paths, which CDPATH is never consulted for. Impact BREAKING: skill-audit and agent-audit no longer exist as invocable skills. kyberforge goes to 2.0.0 (catalog 0.4.7). Check logic is unchanged: differential runs of the old and new validators across every skill and agent produced byte-identical stdout, stderr and exit codes, and the reconstructed Python payloads differ only in comments and the references/field-inventory.md -> agent-field-inventory.md rename. One doctrine governs the tiers: exit 0 is audited and clean, exit 1 is audited with findings OR a target present but unreadable, exit 2 is that nothing was audited at all. Edge paths DID change, deliberately (full table in ADR-0025): - a missing target exits 2 (never ran), not 1, under its own "does not exist" message; detection is by path shape, so a shape-matching path that is simply absent used to reach the validator and come back as a FAIL against a file that never existed; - an unshaped target exits 2 under the generic "matches neither" message, and a directory with no SKILL.md under a third, distinct one -- three exit-2 messages, not one; - a dangling symlink or a symlink loop stays exit 1: it is present but broken, which is a finding about the artifact rather than a usage error; - a SKILL.md file path is audited as its skill directory instead of refused; - a .md agent outside an agents/ directory is refused rather than audited; - a missing script library, a missing python3, a missing PyYAML, and no argument at all each exit 2. validate-provenance.sh already exited 2 for the last two; validate.sh now matches it. .pre-commit-hooks.yaml is a published contract consumed by external repos. Both hook IDs and both files: regexes are unchanged; only entry: and description: moved. scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh (413), scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh (21), tests/test-check-vale-style-sync.sh (797) and agent-audit/scripts/README.md (47) are deleted. The checker made 17 assertions: 6 compared the two Vale copies and are moot; 10 are rehomed into tests/test-vale-wrap.sh (case 0, cases 28-31, and the suite's Vale-absent skip); and the cross-manifest files: agreement check, which selected hooks by entry: and so could not survive both hooks sharing one, is ported as case 33 pairing hooks by id:. Cases 28, 30 and 33 carry mutation self-tests; narrowing the local skill prefilter to 6 of 38 SKILL.md files now fails the suite. Skills go 39 to 38. Pre-push goes 9 repo-authored hooks to 8. ADR: 0025 BREAKING-CHANGE: the skill-audit and agent-audit skills are removed. Both flows are served by factory-audit, which auto-detects whether it was handed a skill directory or an agent file.

Defame1297	edcc57c0d6	docs: trim skill READMEs and ADR/changelog narration ... 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.

Defame1297	3811f5481b	fix(kyberforge): unblock the scaffold and finish the #125 and ADR-0022 edits ... Three related half-applied changes from #130, each leaving the corpus in a state its own documentation contradicts. Why: - `assets/templates/SKILL.md` shipped `metadata:` fully commented out, and `new-skill.sh` only substitutes SKILL_NAME. Every scaffolded skill therefore lacked the `metadata.version` ADR-0022 made mandatory and was blocked at first commit by the very hook this PR added. The commented example also read `"1.0"` — neither the `0.1.0` new-skill seed nor valid semver. - `agent-audit/references/scope-project-user.md` still joined `disable-model-invocation` and `user-invocable` with a slash — #125's defect verbatim — while pointing the reader at the file this PR had just corrected to say the opposite. - ADR-0022 required the "when present" bump conditional dropped and `metadata.version` moved into create.md's required list. It was dropped from SKILL.md but left in README.md, and the field was edited in place under a heading that still authorises removing it entirely. Implementation notes: - The template emits `metadata: version: "0.1.0"` live, captioned as required, with the optional keys left commented. `new-skill.bats` gains a case asserting a live key and three-part semver, so this cannot regress. - `description-quality.md` now asserts only what the vendored Copilot research supports: two fields with opposite defaults, and the retired `infer` replaced by the pair rather than by either alone. The unsupported negative it previously stated as fact is gone. - The `1.0.0` retrofit seed is stated in improve.md and retrofit.md, which the retrofit flow actually reads — create.md, where it lived, is unreachable from that path. The compression item moved out of the file-churn checklist, whose preamble excluded the wording-only change it covers. - Executable git commands in these three skills now carry the ADR-0023 rtk prefix.

Defame1297	ede3f06689	fix(kyberforge): restore the authoring rules the ADR-0020 trim dropped ... Diffing each retrofitted SKILL.md against its replacement references/ files found rules that existed on main and now existed nowhere — relocated in intent, deleted in fact. A trim that loses a rule is not progressive disclosure, it is data loss with a smaller word count. Three had no survivor. The least-privilege guidance for `tools` kept its mechanics and lost the "restrict to what the agent needs" half, so the remaining text read as encouragement to omit the field. The improve flow lost its regression check, so nothing compared the closing audit against the pre-edit state and a PASS quietly becoming a SUGGESTION went unnoticed — restored on both halves of the author pair, since agent-author had dropped its equivalent too. And agent bodies lost "would the agent get this wrong without it?", which mattered more than it looks: ADR-0020 deliberately sets no body word gate for agents, three of the four already sit between 933 and 1,199 words, and the delegation check only fires on procedure a skill already owns. That heuristic was the only brake left. Two more were reachable only from the wrong scope. agent-author tells the reader to load only the file for the resolved scope, but the mcp__ glob syntax for disallowedTools and the five tools no subagent ever receives had both landed in project-user-scope.md. disallowedTools is the ONLY permitted fence at plugin/APM scope, so the scope that needs the syntax most could not reach it, and a plugin-scope run could write a body telling the agent to ask the user a question. Two documents were actively wrong rather than merely thin. agent-audit told auditors that validate.sh resolves boundary targets for skills only; it runs at both scopes, so the auditor was hand-resolving what the script had already decided and could contradict it. And skill-audit routed to its script-troubleshooting reference whenever validate.sh "fails" — but it exits 1 on ordinary content FAILs, the normal outcome for the whole #99 population, so 1,302 words loaded on nearly every audit. A context-budget regression inside the skill that enforces the context budget. Finally, two illustrations taught the shape the gate ERRORs on, unfenced, while an adjacent rubric called it a hard ERROR. LESSONS.md records the reference-chain depth rule flipping from "one level deep" to "two hops, never three". ADR-0020 is silent on it and the reversal rode entirely on the diff; the looser rule is what mandatory dispatch requires.

Defame1297	2540e50fcc	feat(kyberforge): give skill-author a procedure for the #99 retrofit ... ADR-0020 shipped its gates hot with no baseline file, so 26 of 39 descriptions and 9 of 39 bodies are over their FAIL tier and editing any of them for any reason requires bringing the skill into contract first. `references/improve.md` said exactly that and stopped there — it mandated a retrofit and supplied no procedure for one. Four dry-run retrofits confirmed what that costs. Asked the same questions — what to cut first, when a body is two flows rather than one, what else has to change alongside — they invented six to ten different answers, so the same skill retrofitted twice produced two different skills and neither run could be reviewed against anything. `references/retrofit.md` fixes the answers: an ordered cut list ranked by tokens removed against behaviour lost (inverting that order is how a retrofit deletes the instruction the skill existed to carry), the test for whether a body holds two mutually exclusive flows, the reference-file conventions, the collateral checklist for `README.md` and `references/sources.md`, and a worked description retrofit. It also states the trap the dry runs kept hitting: retrofit the skill in place, inside its package. The boundary-target universe is built by walking up from the file being checked, so a scratch copy has no authoring root above it, the check prints `INFO ... DID NOT RUN`, and the run still exits 0 — a line that reads as a pass and is not one. A retrofit signed off on a copy carries an unverified boundary target into the corpus. Loaded from the improve flow only when a budget is actually exceeded, so a routine improvement pays nothing for it. Refs: ADR-0020, #99	2026-08-16 16:40:19 +00:00
Defame1297	4a5c3c0cff	feat(kyberforge): enforce the ADR-0020 context contract for skills and agents ... Skill name+description pairs are preloaded into every session, costing ~6,200 tokens across 39 skills before any skill is invoked. The authoring rules mandated that growth: skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21 both required padding, while skill-author:102 (the deflating rule) had no FAIL condition behind it. Gates (blocking, no baseline file): - description 250 chars SUGGESTION / 400 FAIL, measured on the folded YAML value - body-only 600 words SUGGESTION / 900 FAIL, independent of the unchanged whole-file 2770-word / 500-line spec backstop - every boundary-clause routing target must resolve to a real skill or agent; catches skill-improve, neuledge-context and gitea-labels - agents take the description gates but deliberately no body gate; a test pins that absence Vale: DescriptionOpener widened to ^This\b, new CompositionNote rule banning architecture notes from descriptions. 10 hits, 0 false positives. Kyberforge's own four skills retrofitted: descriptions 3,364 -> 938 chars (-72%), bodies 8,306 -> 2,487 words (-70%), all via the apm-workflow dispatch pattern. Fixes the skill-improve dangling route and the agent-author misroute to manual review. Also fixes a pre-existing false positive where any line-initial 'read ' was flagged as interactive input, which had already caused two scripts to be rewritten around it.
