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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## 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

## Why
The repo moved from a chunk-based delivery model with `.agents/skills/`
as the canonical skill source to a plugin model. Several files retained
references to the old model that were either dead code or misleading
framing.
## Impact
- `tests/test-install.sh`: dead `.agents/skills/` test blocks removed;
suite now tests only what `install.sh` actually deploys
- `scripts/deploy-manifest.sh`: `DEPLOY_SKILLS_SRC` variable and stale
`sync.sh (Chunk 6)` comment removed
- `tests/test-git-hooks-install.sh`: fixture stub no longer declares
the removed `DEPLOY_SKILLS_SRC` variable
- `docs/VISION.md`: chunk delivery framing replaced with plugin model
language throughout; manual test plan date updated
- `tests/test-instructions-and-docs.sh`: stale test plan date flagged
as pre-refactor so readers know a re-run is needed
Refs: #15
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
overview.md described the chunk-based delivery model, which is superseded
by the marketplace/plugin pivot. architecture.md was equally stale: it
described .agents/skills/ as the canonical skills source (directory does not
exist), a provider-manifest.sh symlink mechanism (never built), and sync.sh /
init-project.sh as existing scripts (Chunk 6, not yet built).
## Implementation Notes
- overview.md deleted; all cross-references scrubbed from AGENTS.md, CONTEXT.md,
and three notes/research files
- architecture.md fully rewritten: content deployment model reflects actual
install.sh behaviour (DEPLOY_FILES / DEPLOY_EXECUTABLES / DEPLOY_DIRS);
plugin model section added listing all 5 plugins; directory structure section
removed (was describing a layout that no longer exists)
- "Chunk 6" phase label → "planned"; "chunk workflow" removed from AGENTS.md
description
- Fixed broken path docs/HUMANS.md → docs/wiki/HUMANS.md in governance layer
and core/instructions/governance.md
Refs: #15
## Why
ROADMAP.md was a static file that duplicated tracking information now
owned by Gitea milestones and issues. Keeping it created a maintenance
burden — references drifted out of sync with the actual state of work,
and agents were directed to read it when the source of truth had moved.
## Implementation Notes
All inbound references replaced with either the relevant Gitea milestone
("Skills & Agents") or removed where the context made them redundant.
Test assertions that verified ROADMAP.md content removed; test output
strings updated to drop the ROADMAP cross-reference instruction.
## Impact
Agents no longer read docs/ROADMAP.md at session start. Gitea milestones
and issues are the canonical source for roadmap and open-question tracking.

Issues 0001–0018 migrated as closed; 0019–0028 as open. All assigned to
the Legacy / Triage milestone (ID 5). Closes item 1 of issue #15.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
HUMANS.md is practitioner-facing reference material, not a file agents
read from the repo. It belongs in the Gitea wiki where it is browsable
via the wiki UI. Removing it from docs/ keeps the repo tree clean.
## Impact
docs/HUMANS.md is gone from the main repo. The file is accessible at
the Gitea wiki (docs/wiki submodule, commit 5c29e79).

Refs: #15
## Why
All four PRD files (chunk-1, chunk-2-instructions, chunk-3-skills-library,
governance-instruction-layer) have been migrated to Gitea as closed issues
(#16–#19) in the Legacy / Triage milestone. The local directory is
superseded as an artifact store.
## Impact
docs/prd/ is gone. Gitea issues #16–#19 are the canonical record.

Refs: #15
Supersedes ADR-0011 (provider-agnostic issue tracker with file-based

Both skills are now part of the kyberforge plugin. Updated the Plugin
marketplace workstream Phase 1 skill list and the Skills pipeline
housekeeping note (count 4 → 6) to reflect the addition.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## 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
Update docs to reflect pre-commit migration and cleanup:
- spec/overview.md: removed phantom test file references
- ROADMAP.md: removed references to non-existent test files
- LESSONS.md: removed reference to setup-hooks.sh bug
Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
The convention requires living spec files to be updated in the same
commit as any behaviour change. Adding agent-author to kyberforge
without updating overview.md would leave the spec stale.
## Impact
kyberforge plugin entry now accurately reflects its three current skills
(skill-author, skill-audit, agent-author) and drops the outdated
reference to create-plugin, marketplace-architect, write-skill, and
write-eval which are no longer in the plugin.

Refs: #10
ADR: docs/adr/0015-agent-author-dual-provider-scaffold.md
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## 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.

gitleaks false positive (U1, Gitea issue #2):

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.

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).
