Skill36 starsChanged 2 months agoApache-2.0View on GitHub

Use when the ready-issue queue is low or a delivery wave is closing, when a defect/finding surfaces mid-session (runtime failure, review discovery, repeated manual step), or when deciding whether an observation deserves a GitHub issue. Also use when authoring any issue body.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Keep the delivery queue fed with issues that are worth doing and machine-ready — without the operator.

    line 8

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Issue Intake

Keep the delivery queue fed with issues that are worth doing and machine-ready — without the operator. Every issue this engine ships is born in the format parallel-wave Layer 1 judges: named surface + machine-checkable doneWhen. The body contract lives once in templates.md — issue-create and fleet-epic-split emit the same shape and only point here; no parallel body formats. Composes with fleet-orchestrate (discovery rail) and parallel-wave (delivery).

Epic splitoperator-signed goal → fleet-epic-split into atomic issuespaid, operator-gated

A finding observed mid-session is filed (or parked as a candidate) in the same session — findings that stay in the transcript are lost.

Promotion ladder

candidate → verified finding → draft → ready. Never skip a rung.

To reachRequires
verified findingexpected vs actual on a named full SHA, with evidence (repro, failing test, trace, or direct code proof); base comparison — regression or inherited?
draftnamed surface (crate/path/symbols) + machine-checkable doneWhen list
readydedupe ran: edda ask "<domain>" AND edda search query "<keyword>" AND open-issue search — no duplicate, not already decided/fixed

Disposition table

ObservationDisposition
Evidenced defect, surface derivableFile it — use the body template in templates.md
Real hunch, evidence incompletePark as candidate WITH the attempts already made and the next bounded experiment. Do not file "investigate X"
Rule a linter/CI check could enforceAutomate it (or file ONE issue to add the check). Never file per-occurrence issues
Matches a ledger decision or an existing issue/fixDrop, with a pointer to the duplicate
Product direction / high-risk changeFile, label needs-operator, queue — it waits for the operator; everything else keeps moving

The improvement loop (what "gets better" means)

At each wave close, write one edda note --tag intake line covering:

  • review findings by category — a category recurring across waves becomes a new campaign lens AND a landmine line in future plan prompts;
  • Layer-1 predicted surface vs Layer-3 actual gh pr diff --name-only delta — chronic misprediction rewrites the surface-authoring guidance;
  • doneWhen adequacy — a real bug caught only OUTSIDE the acceptance ceiling means the doneWhen template gains that class of item.

Operator-absent authority

  • Standing (once granted): file evidenced issues, label fleet:pending; low-risk classes (fix/test/docs in named crates) may enter delivery.
  • Queued, never improvised: direction and high-risk issues wait under needs-operator.
  • Anti-corruption is structural: the issue's author never reviews the PR that closes it; promotion to verified finding needs an independent check; flooding is blocked by the ladder, not by restraint.

Red flags — stop, you are rationalizing

ThoughtReality
"I'll write it up at the end of the session"Findings die in transcripts. File or park it now.
"The queue is low, this hunch will do"An unevidenced issue costs a whole delivery lane later. Park it as a candidate.
"doneWhen is obvious, the implementer will know"#547 shipped without doneWhen and acceptance had to be invented at dispatch. Write it.
"Surface is obvious from the title"Layer 1 cannot judge a title. Name crate/paths/symbols.
"Probably not a duplicate"edda ask + edda search + issue search take a minute. Run them.
"I wrote the spec, so I can verify the fix fastest"Author-verifier collusion checks compliance, not design. Hand it off.
