Claude Code AI - Gitea MCP 598a7c326a refactor(skills): retrofit the corpus to the ADR-0020 context contract (#129)
Retrofits all 39 skills to ADR-0020's description/body context contract, then fixes what six rounds of independent review found in that retrofit — including four ways the hot gate itself failed open.

Closes #99, #107, #108, #110, #111, #114, #115, #120.

## The retrofit (waves 1-5)

| | Start | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Description FAILs (>400 chars) | 26 | **0** |
| Body FAILs (>900 words, body-only) | 9 | **0** |
| Dangling routing targets | 2 | **0** |
| `Kyberforge.CompositionNote` | 10 | **0** |
| Preload tax | 21,005 chars | **~10,500** |

Under the 12,000-char success criterion. Per-wave detail is on #99.

## The review fixes

**The gate failed open four ways, three of them found after the retrofit shipped.** An unrecognised follower token made a dangling target vanish. A skill directory with no `SKILL.md` resolved as a valid target, so a commit could be green locally and red in a fresh clone — three existing fixtures were relying on that, one of which made the install-leak A/B pass vacuously. Then the free-standing `/name` sweep turned out to be gated on the sentence carrying a boundary marker, so route notation in any other sentence was invisible — not an ERROR, not a SUGGESTION, not an INFO — which left the documented "`/name` always blocks" promise false from a second direction. All four fixed and pinned.

**Two checks were silently not running.** `validate-provenance.sh` checks 7-8 were dead across nine skills. Waking them exposed a deeper problem: they assume `Research doc:` names a source index, but 30 of 121 entries point at topic content documents, so every new check-7 INFO was a false positive and check 8 was saved from a false-FAIL flood only by an *unannounced* skip. Checks 7/8 are now scoped to source indexes and every skip announces itself (#121).

**The retrofit's own anti-goal, four times.** ADR-0020 warns that a blunt gate gets satisfied by deleting content rather than relocating it. `diagnose` and `skill-audit` relocated prose and then read it unconditionally; `prototype` and `vale-config` deleted rules outright that survived nowhere. All four addressed.

## Verification

- `bash tests/run-tests.sh --strict` — 24 suites, 0 skipped, 0 failed
- `bash tests/run-bats.sh` — 325 tests, 0 failures
- `pre-commit run --all-files` — 17/17
- `pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-push --all-files` — 16/16, with `apm marketplace check` and `apm pack --check-clean` run against the remote, not skipped
- `scripts/skill-size-check.sh` over all 39 skills — rc 0, 0 ERROR/FAIL, SUGGESTION-only
- Preload tax measured at **10,498 chars**, max description 390 — both inside budget
- Every new test proven non-vacuous by a deliberate mutation of the behaviour it covers

**Per-commit sync, stated accurately:** the ten commits from the latest review round each pass `check-plugin-content-sync` in isolation, verified by checking each out in a detached worktree with a clean between. The earlier gitea window (`dfacf05..bedbd1d`, nine commits) does **not** — its mirror was regenerated in one batch at `bbc7300`. An earlier revision of this description claimed the property held for every commit; it does not, and a bisect through that window lands on a red commit. **Squash-merge** to collapse it, or accept that this range is not bisectable.

## Version bump

Six plugins and the catalog take a **patch**, not a minor. The branch is **89 commits — 40 `fix` / 30 `refactor` / 12 `docs` / 5 `chore` / 2 `test` — zero `feat`, zero `!`, zero `BREAKING CHANGE`** — and adds no skill, agent, command or hook. (Two earlier revisions of this section cited a stale histogram, most recently 78 commits; the figures above are measured at HEAD.) Both rules this repo ships (`forge/references/version-bump.md`, landing in this PR, and `git-commits/references/conventional-commits-spec.md`) make that a patch, and the catalog set is unchanged at 7 entries.

Not settled by that: four published files were removed from the installed tree, three moved, and `caveman` gained `disable-model-invocation`, retiring its old triggers. Under a strict reading those are major-class and currently ship under `refactor:` with no marker. Whether the deployed skill surface is a public contract is written down nowhere — worth deciding, but it outlives this PR.

## Deliberately not in scope

#112 (cherry-pick ownership, now resolved in favour of `git-commits`), #113 (`rtk git` normalisation), #116 (research fan-out), #101 (audit-skill merge), #122 (non-spec skill-root files), #123 (no PRD producer) stay open. #117 is the one worth reading: the contract's remedy is to move prose into `references/`, which is exactly where neither the size gate nor Vale looks — and the blind spot is wider than #117 currently records, since there is no root `.vale.ini` at all, so every ADR, `CONTEXT.md` and `README.md` is unlinted too.

That blind spot let this branch carry two `level: error` `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs` violations into `references/` files it created — `provider-adapter-author/references/provider-matrix.md:31` and `agent-audit/references/finding-criteria.md:95`. Both are reworded in `afadaae`, confirmed by routing each file through the audit's own `vale-wrap.sh` (1 error each before, 0 after). Five further occurrences sit in `references/` files already on `main`; those are the pre-existing corpus and stay with #117, which is the real fix.

Also unfixed and not this PR's: `apm install` appends a duplicate `SessionStart` entry to `.claude/settings.json`, so a fresh clone cannot get pre-push green without an edit AGENTS.md warns against. Reproduces identically on `main`.

Gotchas

  • The SKIP env var takes exact hook id values, comma-separated with no spaces: SKIP=check-yaml,gitleaks git commit -m "msg". A space after a comma silently skips nothing instead of erroring.
  • Never bypass a failing hook with git commit --no-verify (or -n). Hooks are the automated QA gate, so a bypassed commit pushes the failure downstream where it costs more — diagnose it instead.
  • - files were modified by this hook is not a bug. A fixer hook rewrote a staged file, so the staged snapshot is stale and the commit is blocked on purpose. Re-stage and re-run the same commit: git add -u && git commit. Do NOT reach for pre-commit install -f here — it overwrites .git/hooks/ and has nothing to do with re-staging.

Gate — pre-commit clean

Confirm with the user before running pre-commit clean, on every path that reaches it — including when it turns up as the fix for a stale or broken environment. It wipes the whole cache at ~/.cache/pre-commit, which is machine-wide and shared by every repo on the box, forcing every hook environment to be re-downloaded.

"This will wipe the entire pre-commit cache. All hook environments will be re-downloaded on next run. Proceed?"

pre-commit gc drops only unused environments and needs no confirmation — prefer it when the goal is just to reclaim disk.

Route

Determine intent from the user's request, then execute the matching operation. Where the matching row names a references/ file, read that one file and no other — each flow file is self-contained.

User intent Operation
"run", "check", "verify", "test hooks" pre-commit run --all-files (default)
"staged", "simulate commit" pre-commit run (staged files only)
"CI", "changed files only", "diff range" pre-commit run --from-ref <base> --to-ref <head> — prefer this over --all-files on large repos
"install", "set up hooks", "wire into git" pre-commit install — read references/install.md
"pre-create environments", "warm cache" pre-commit install-hooks — builds every hook environment without running a hook
"remove hooks", "uninstall", "tear down" pre-commit uninstall — removes pre-commit from .git/hooks/
"autoupdate", "update versions", "bump revs" pre-commit autoupdate — read references/autoupdate.md
"gc", "garbage collect" pre-commit gc — drops unused cached environments only, safe at any time
"clean", "wipe cache", "rebuild from scratch" pre-commit clean — read references/clean.md
"hooks aren't running", "hook never fires", "why did a hook fail", a hook failure whose cause is unclear Diagnose — read references/failure-patterns.md

If the intent is ambiguous, default to pre-commit run --all-files — do not stop to ask, and do not fall through to a narrower row on a guess.

Run

Default to pre-commit run --all-files; never silently narrow to staged files. Run pre-commit run (staged only) or pre-commit run <hook-id> (one named hook) when the user asks for it.

When hooks fail:

  1. Name the hook and the specific cause. Be concrete — "gitleaks blocked config.json (high-entropy string on line 12)", not "gitleaks failed".
  2. Suggest one concrete next step. Common causes and their concrete fixes are in references/failure-patterns.md — read it whenever the output does not already name the fix.
  3. Do not auto-fix code files, and do not edit .pre-commit-config.yaml — those belong to the user or to pc-author.
