Defame1297 c705a38809 docs: issue 0016 — skill implementation workflow grill
Produces docs/notes/skill-implementation-workflow.md with agreed conventions
for all Chunk 3 skill issues (0017–0028). Key decisions:

- Per-skill process: source discovery (sub-agent) → source review with
  licence/security check (sub-agent) → conflict check vs constitution +
  factory principles (sub-agent) → synthesis grill → co-write iteratively
- Bootstrap: write-eval (hand-written) → write-skill (hand-written) →
  write-docs (first factory-authored, phase 2 of 0018) → everything else
- Upstream review changed from per-chunk-start to per-skill
- `when:` and `references:` frontmatter fields added to authoring standard
- Sub-agent usage prescribed as named steps in the workflow
- HITL: human reviewed and approved conventions

Updates: PRD implementation decisions; issues 0016–0028 with specific
acceptance criteria; docs/spec/overview.md; ROADMAP Chunk 3 housekeeping note
(bootstrap order, cadence, acceptance criteria status); CONTEXT.md Source field
(per-skill cadence, references: companion field); LESSONS.md with three patterns
from the grill session.

Post-grill additions (same session): Step 6 (session handoff) added to the
workflow; handoff section appended to issue 0016; handoff checklist item added
to Chunk 3 closure issue (0028).

Overview

Current deployed state of this repo — what you get if you run install.sh today. Updated at the close of each chunk and in the same PR as any behavior change.

Last updated: 2026-05-17 (issue 0015)

What is deployed

Skills

12 skills deployed to ~/.agents/skills/ via install.sh. Available as slash commands in Claude Code via ~/.claude/skills/ → ~/.agents/skills/ symlink. All 12 are first-draft placeholders pending rebuild in Chunk 3.

Current skills: caveman, diagnose, grill-me, grill-with-docs, improve-codebase-architecture, prototype, tdd, to-issues, to-prd, triage, write-a-skill, zoom-out.

Chunk 3 target: 42 skills across 9 categories. PRD: docs/prd/chunk-3-skills-library.md. Canonical build reference: docs/research/ai-coding-factory/ai-coding-factory-skills-index.md (delete once all skills exist). Skills stored flat (skill-name/SKILL.md) per ADR-0009; category in metadata.category frontmatter. Categories: design, factory, implement, test, review, deploy, operate, cross-cutting, iac (2 skills only — docker-compose + iac-security-review). Role skills (6) deferred to Chunk 5. Gitea skills moved to providers/gitea/ provider adapter.

Skill implementation workflow: each skill follows the per-skill process in docs/notes/skill-implementation-workflow.md (produced by issue 0016). Sub-agents handle source discovery, source review, and conflict checking; synthesis grill and HITL test are human steps. Bootstrap: write-eval (hand-written) → write-skill (hand-written) → write-docs (first factory-authored) → all others via factory.

Claude Code configuration

  • ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md — thin adapter; imports ~/.agents/AGENTS.md (Communication + Behavior) and governance.md; content index pointers only
  • ~/.agents/AGENTS.md — global always-on rules (Communication + Behavior); provider-agnostic source of truth
  • ~/.claude/core/instructions/ — coding, git, testing, governance instruction files
  • ~/.claude/settings.json — Claude Code settings

Governance layer

core/instructions/governance.md loads into every Claude Code session via @import in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Covers: hard prohibitions on secrets and data, data classification tiers, HITL requirements, sycophancy resistance, deterministic execution preference.

What works end-to-end

  • install.sh runs idempotently — safe to re-run after changes
  • Provider adapter pattern: providers/*/provider-manifest.sh auto-discovered by install.sh
  • Governance rules take effect at session start without any manual loading step
  • Skills available as slash commands immediately after install

What is not yet deployed

  • sync.sh — pulls updates into existing projects (Chunk 6)
  • init-project.sh — bootstraps a new project (Chunk 6)
  • Copilot provider adapter (Chunk 7)
  • Formal CI/pre-commit enforcement of governance rules (Chunk 6)
