Why: the always-on governance.md told agents to read
docs/ai-constitution.md when a decision is not covered, a path that
exists only in this repo, so the fallback failed in every other project.
(Simplification audit finding 27, second defect.)
Implementation Notes:
- Move docs/ai-constitution.md to core/ai-constitution.md; the existing
core deploy step now ships it to ~/.claude/core/.
- governance.md line 4 and line 73 name ~/.claude/core/ai-constitution.md;
the HUMANS.md and CONTROLS.md pointers now say they live in the
holocron repo.
- Repoint path-qualified citations in AGENTS.md, architecture.md,
skill-implementation-workflow.md and CONTROLS.md. The vendored
write-skill example and the audit's historical notes are left as
records.
- The docs/wiki gitlink is not bumped here; the wiki commit awaits push.

Why: ADR-0022 made `metadata.version` mandatory in SKILL.md frontmatter, but three documents still
instructed the opposite — that `version:`, `source:`, `references:` and `when:` belong in a separate
META.md. That recommendation was never implemented: META.md exists exactly once in this repo, inside
a vendored third-party research example, and all 39 skills now contradict it. A stale instruction
that outranks nothing is worse than no instruction, because an author following it undoes the ADR.
Implementation notes:
- Two LESSONS.md entries deleted outright — their entire payload was the rejected fix. Two kept and
rewritten: the copy-fill entry loses only its META-TEMPLATE clause, and the `model:` entry keeps
the provider-extension fact and the invocation-time boundary rule, which stand on their own.
- One factual error corrected in passing: the `extracted` slug entry claimed provenance is recorded
in META.md. It lives in `references/sources.md` keyed by `source_keys:`, verified against
validate-provenance.sh.
- Both docs/notes files gain `metadata.version` in their required-field lists. Deleting the stale
paragraph while leaving those lists silent would have re-created the gap.
- `bin/write-docs` carried `metadata.version: "1.0"` — the only non-semver value in the corpus, and
the result of relocating its old top-level `version:` without normalising it. Now `1.0.0`.
ADR-0022 records the relocation it previously omitted, which issue #127 had asked it to decide.
Impact: patch bumps for the four plugins whose `.apm/` content changed — bin, git, gitea,
kyberforge. core and lint are untouched and stay put. Root apm.yml's `executables.allow` key and
marketplace package versions move in lockstep; the marketplace release version is unchanged.

Complete 2026-05-18 workstream for write-skill refactor (issue 0018 phase 1).
Grill output (handoff in docs/issues/0018-factory-write-skill.md):
- 6-section standard replaces 8: Role and When/When not dropped (not in
agentskills.io spec; description carries trigger scope and negatives)
- Frontmatter reduced to 3 fields; provenance moves to META.md
(progressive disclosure — not loaded at every skill scan)
- SKILL-TEMPLATE.md and META-TEMPLATE.md as authoritative copy-fill artifacts
- CATEGORIES.md as self-contained category reference in skill directory
- Copy and fill explicitly split into separate process steps for determinism
New files in .agents/skills/write-skill/:
- SKILL-TEMPLATE.md — 6-section template with XML blocks and inline examples per section
- META-TEMPLATE.md — provenance schema with inline-commented YAML; source vs references explicit
- CATEGORIES.md — self-contained category table (no runtime dependency on factory docs)
- META.md — write-skill's own provenance (v1.1, self-authored)
SKILL.md rewritten: 8-step process, XML blocks (<requirements>, <steps>, <checks>),
3-field frontmatter, copy-then-fill steps explicit.
Supporting docs updated:
- skill-implementation-workflow.md: SKILL-TEMPLATE.md as authoritative template;
source:/references: now reference META.md; when: marked resolved
- factory-integration-decisions.md: frontmatter spec corrected
- ROADMAP.md: authoring standard description updated
- CONTEXT.md: Source field entry corrected; META.md added to glossary
- docs/spec/overview.md: 2026-05-18 refactor entry added
- docs/issues/0018: handoff status updated; acceptance criteria marked complete
LESSONS.md: 3 entries added in grill session (cargo-culted body sections,
provenance fields in frontmatter, copy-fill determinism) + 1 from implementation
(planning meta-commentary does not belong in deployed artifacts).

Adds write-eval, the first factory meta-skill. Produces eval.yaml test
files for skills following the two-section schema (trigger_tests +
output_tests) with provider-agnostic string assertions and show-plan-
then-merge-on-rerun behaviour. Hand-written bootstrap — subsequent
skills will use write-eval to produce their own evals.
Also tightens skill-implementation-workflow.md step 5b: per-section
options walk-through is now a named gate before writing, separate from
the synthesis grill. LESSONS.md entry added.
HITL behavioral test pending.
