From 6062f9e9852b9f5caa199c99ddf9e584fdd8e50e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Passler Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 02:06:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] refactor(skill): move the flows of SKILL.md verbatim into reference files SKILL.md keeps the core (running km, sync, GitHub access, routing, citation, consuming vs. authoring, search, writing content, rules) and names the seven reference files under skills/km/reference/ that now hold the flows: setup, brains, github-reads, validate-and-gate, review-and-pr, queue, pins-and-cites. The text moved verbatim; only cross-file pointers changed, each listed in tests/skill_inventory.py, which checks against the frozen pre-split SKILL.md (tests/fixtures/skill-baseline.md) that every paragraph lands in exactly one file and that every heading, code span and rule sentence survives. tests/skill_smoke.sh runs it in CI. --- .github/workflows/test.yml | 1 + README.md | 3 +- skills/km/SKILL.md | 662 +------------------ skills/km/reference/brains.md | 182 ++++++ skills/km/reference/github-reads.md | 54 ++ skills/km/reference/pins-and-cites.md | 45 ++ skills/km/reference/queue.md | 45 ++ skills/km/reference/review-and-pr.md | 139 ++++ skills/km/reference/setup.md | 85 +++ skills/km/reference/validate-and-gate.md | 145 +++++ tests/fixtures/skill-baseline.md | 774 +++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/skill_inventory.py | 204 ++++++ tests/skill_smoke.sh | 9 + 13 files changed, 1704 insertions(+), 644 deletions(-) create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/brains.md create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/github-reads.md create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/pins-and-cites.md create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/queue.md create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/review-and-pr.md create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/setup.md create mode 100644 skills/km/reference/validate-and-gate.md create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/skill-baseline.md create mode 100644 tests/skill_inventory.py create mode 100644 tests/skill_smoke.sh diff --git a/.github/workflows/test.yml b/.github/workflows/test.yml index f362e4d..6ca5727 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/test.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/test.yml @@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ jobs: - run: bash tests/doctor_smoke.sh - run: bash tests/sync_smoke.sh - run: bash tests/list_smoke.sh + - run: bash tests/skill_smoke.sh - name: team_smoke.sh, with a Latin-1 locale for its file-name encoding test run: sudo localedef -i en_US -f ISO-8859-1 en_US.ISO-8859-1 && bash tests/team_smoke.sh diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 45bfc49..d7824dd 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -129,7 +129,8 @@ action.yml GitHub Action: installs km at the action's version .pre-commit-hooks.yaml pre-commit hook km-validate src/km/ the package: cli, validate, gen_index, demote, serve, promote, approve, repin, cite, cites, init, upgrade, doctor, sync, list_docs src/km/templates/ what `km init` writes -skills/km/SKILL.md the skill; skills/km/bin/km runs the package from the installed plugin +skills/km/SKILL.md the skill's core: rules, a dispatch table, what every flow shares +skills/km/reference/ the flows the core dispatches to, read on demand; skills/km/bin/km runs the package from the installed plugin tests/ smoke tests ``` diff --git a/skills/km/SKILL.md b/skills/km/SKILL.md index 489a4db..58da35a 100644 --- a/skills/km/SKILL.md +++ b/skills/km/SKILL.md @@ -54,88 +54,11 @@ a diverged fork are the user's call too: pass the note on and do nothing else. when `gh auth status --hostname github.com` succeeds; check once per session and again after a `gh auth login`.

A missing `audience` is the author's to set: ask, - do not set it yourself. -3. **Check the content, not the prose:** - - every factual claim against its source (`sources`, linked docs, datasheets, the code it - describes); a claim with no source and no evidence in the repo is a finding; - - contradictions with docs already in the brain on the same topic (search by tags and terms); - - numbers, units, part numbers and versions copied correctly from the source; - - `audience` matches the content: a doc written for a customer or other outside reader that is - marked internal, or has no audience, is blocking; - - every pinned source (`sources`, `translates`) read against the doc. `pin:stale`: `git diff` - from the pinned content shows the change; a doc that has not caught up with it is blocking, - one that has is pinned in step 5. `pin:old`: the source was replaced; a doc still built on it - is blocking, and repinning does not fix that; - - `related`, `supersedes`, links and `_index.md` entries in place, and the doc reachable; - - nothing that belongs elsewhere: a customer, project or person named outside where the brain's - rules allow it, secrets, machine paths; - - `owner` and a realistic `review_by` for the sign-off. -4. **Findings.** Each one names the file and line, what is wrong and the source that - shows it. Blocking: wrong or unsupported facts, contradictions, validate errors, leaks. Not - blocking: wording, style, structure preferences; mention them once, briefly, or leave them out. -5. **Outcome.** Blocking findings: list them and stop. Otherwise show the user the result, and on - their OK: - - a `draft` doc goes to `status: review` first (`km approve` signs off review docs only); - - `km repin ` where a pin is stale or has no hash, so the approval covers the sources just - checked (run after `km approve`, it would take the approval back); no `pin:` warning is left; - - level `ai`: `km approve --by ai: [--review-by YYYY-MM-DD]`, then commit it on its - own, on top of the content commits (see "Approval"); - - level `human`: add `"ai: "` to `reviewed_by`, so the approver sees that an AI - review ran, commit, and name who should sign off. - Never change `audience`, `approval` or `type` to make a sign-off pass; `km approve` refuses what - the level does not allow and gates the result with `km validate`. - -## Pull request preparation (`/km pr`) - -Runs on a brain branch before its first push, and again before pushing new commits to your own open -PR: steps 1–5 before the push, step 6 once the PR exists.

Each reviewer is a separate agent running `/km review` steps 1–4 on its docs: - - up to 4 docs: one reviewer, who also checks them against each other; - - more: one per about three docs, grouped by folder or topic, at most six, plus one that checks - them against each other and the brain. -2. **Verify, then fix.** Verify each finding against its named source; drop the unsupported ones. - Commit the remaining fixes, one commit per doc, and have a fresh reviewer check only those - commits. -3. **Fold.** One commit per doc or logical change: every later content commit on a doc (fixes, - review fixes, earlier plain fix commits) goes into the branch's first commit that touches it - (`git log --reverse --format=%h .. -- | head -1`). Sign-off commits are never folded: - leave them where they are. Note `git rev-parse HEAD` as ``, write the rebase todo - yourself with each such commit as `fixup ` right under its target, and run - `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR="cp " git rebase -i `. Afterwards `git diff HEAD` - must be empty. On a conflict, `git rebase --abort`, leave those commits unfolded and say so in - the PR; do the same for a commit that changes docs from several commits. -4. **Sign-off.** `/km review` step 5 on the user's OK, as its own commit on top of the content - (`docs(): approve ()`), so the history shows apart what was written and - who signed it off. A doc whose content changed after its sign-off on this branch is signed off - again. -5. **Push.** First push as the calling flow says. To your own open PR after a fold: - `--force-with-lease=:`, where `` is the PR head you started - from, read before your first commit (`gh pr view --json headRefOid`, or `FETCH_HEAD` right - after fetching `pull//head`), so a push someone made since is refused, not overwritten. -6. **Label and summary.** Exactly one label, set in one call (`gh pr edit --add-label
