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).

- Remove Fleet, Symbolic oversight, and Data classification tiers from
CONTEXT.md glossary: Fleet is Phase 2 only; the other two duplicate
always-on governance.md content
- Drop now-stale governance test assertions for the removed terms
- write-skill eval: add section-ordering assertion; fix duplicate prompt
across two deterministic tests
- write-eval eval: tighten plan-shown assertion to require per-case
detail (query + type), not just "a list of test cases"

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Create AGENTS.md at repo root and core/AGENTS.md as provider-agnostic
sources of always-on rules. Slim both CLAUDE.md files to thin adapters.
Deploy core/AGENTS.md → ~/.agents/AGENTS.md via deploy-manifest.sh.
Update three test suites to check correct locations post-refactor.
All automated tests pass (57 instructions, 106 install, 25 governance).
HITL behavioral test plan in test-instructions-and-docs.sh scenarios 9–12.

14 issues created covering AGENTS.md refactor prerequisite, skill
implementation workflow grill, bootstrap skills (write-eval, write-skill),
remaining factory skills, and one issue per skill category group through
to chunk closure. All HITL; acceptance criteria for 0017-0028 to be
refined after 0016 grill session.
Doc updates: CONTEXT.md PRD/issue scope clarified (HOW distribution
across architecture-review and issue design notes); ROADMAP.md housekeeping
updated with bootstrap order and issue range; spec/overview.md recent
changes entry added; PRD updated (skills-index: delete → update).

Skills-index is now explicitly the canonical build reference for trigger
descriptions, constraints, and categories. Roadmap entry updated with
category breakdown, flat-path naming reconciliation (ADR-0009), authoring
standard reference, and delete-when-done instruction. Spec overview updated
to match.

13 manual scenarios run across instructions and governance layers (two
rounds for failures). Fixed four rules that lost to RLHF defaults:
- Exploratory question format: tightened with boundary framing; added
@import CONTEXT.md to repo CLAUDE.md and a standing rule to check
docs/adr/ and ROADMAP resolved entries before answering design questions
(3-round iteration to resolve)
- File-edit intent: added counter-example to stop clarification-seeking
- Push confirmation: reframed as "do not call the tool" not "ask first"
- Secrets rule: extended to cover credential reproduction in response
text and usage examples, with explicit placeholder requirement
Scenario 4 (push confirmation) inconclusive — no remote configured.
Governance scenario 3 (HITL on real infra) untestable — Nginx not installed.
Both share the same root cause: agent delegates to permission system.
Also corrects stale skill list in docs/spec/overview.md (12 actual
deployed skills vs 16 names previously listed).

Add LESSONS.md as the long-loop feedback log at repo root. Patterns
observed during development graduate to standing rules when three or
more entries appear.
Introduce docs/spec/ as the living spec layer: overview.md (deployed
state) and architecture.md (directory structure, install pipeline,
provider model, governance layer). Refactor docs/VISION.md to goals
and intent only — architecture content moved to docs/spec/architecture.md.
Update CLAUDE.md and CONTEXT.md to reference the new spec files.
Close issues 0013 and 0014. Update ROADMAP and factory integration
note to reflect completion.

- Decision record covering 12 decisions from the factory integration grill
- ADR-0008 (factory boundary: this repo is a provider, not a factory instance)
- ADR-0009 (flat skill taxonomy with category metadata in frontmatter)
- ADR-0010 (role skills in .agents/skills/; core/agents/ for subagent definitions)
- Issue 0013 (LESSONS.md at repo root)
- Issue 0014 (docs/spec/ living spec layer + VISION.md refactor)
- ROADMAP Chunk 3 scope expanded: skills rebuild, new skills (session-handoff,
governance-check, git-guardrails, write-adr), IaC/Gitea global optional
- Per-skill process: implementation guidance Sections 4-5 and skills index
referenced as starting point before web research and grilling
- factory-research-gaps-conflicts.md marked superseded

Add missing H1 titles and ✅ markers to issues 0009–0012 (implementation
complete; manual verification pending and tracked in ROADMAP.md housekeeping).
Remove .gitkeep from docs/notes/ now that the directory has real content.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add research exploration notes (principles, challenges, implementation
guidance, skills index, session log) and gap/conflict analysis against the
current repo vision and roadmap. Sharpen the roadmap housekeeping item with
the grill-me intent, central scope question, and expected output (ADR +
updated chunk scope for 2, 3, and 4).

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)
