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.

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.

The previous commit only landed the research-folder rename — a multi-path
git add silently failed and left CONTEXT.md, ADR-0012, and the actual skill
files unstaged. This lands them: the agentsmd-audit skill itself (three
deterministic validators for secrets, structure, and drift against a target
repo's AGENTS.md), its bats test suite, provenance record, and the
CONTEXT.md/ADR entries documenting why this lives in core rather than
kyberforge.

`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
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

Supersedes ADR-0011 (provider-agnostic issue tracker with file-based
default). Gitea MCP is now configured and in active use; the file-based
fallback is removed. All local docs/issues/ files will be migrated to
Gitea as part of the great refactoring (issue #15).

## Why
Plugin and marketplace management had no governed authoring path. Creating or
updating a plugin required knowing the dual-manifest convention, version parity
rules, and directory skeleton by memory — nothing enforced consistency or guided
the process.
`/plugin-author` closes that gap by owning the full plugin scaffold lifecycle:
create, update, rename, and release. `/marketplace-author` handles the
marketplace-facing side: register, deregister, and update plugin entries in
`marketplace.json`.
ADR-0016 codifies the version parity convention (identical `version` in both
`plugin.json` and `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`) that `/plugin-author` now
enforces. The two plugin.json files in this repo are backfilled to comply
(keys also sorted to pass the pretty-format-json hook). CONTEXT.md gains
glossary entries for "plugin scaffold" and "version parity" so future agents
have shared vocabulary for these concepts.
## Implementation Notes
`/plugin-author` ships a `scripts/new-plugin.sh` scaffold script that generates
the directory skeleton and both manifests in one shot; the skill calls the script
rather than generating files ad hoc so the scaffold is reviewable and repeatable.
Version parity is an invariant, not a suggestion — the skill will fail loudly
on create/update if the two versions would diverge.
ADR: docs/adr/0016-plugin-version-parity.md
## 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.
