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.

## 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.

Record the decision to add INFO as a third skill-audit finding level
(observational, non-actionable, does not affect pass/fail). Add
Provenance chain and INFO (finding level) to CONTEXT.md glossary.

Establishes the global AI development config repo from scratch:
- Chunk 1: repo skeleton, install.sh, statusline, deploy manifest
- Chunk 2: core instructions (coding/git/testing), CLAUDE.md rewrite
(always-on + content index two-tier model), docs restructure,
6 ADRs, ROADMAP.md, .gitkeep placeholders
- Bootstrap skills in .claude/skills/ (to be catalogued and migrated
to .agents/skills/ in Chunk 3)
