PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

• Decision: Request Changes
• Rationale: The Map-vs-World-Atlas shape is the right architecture for this constraint: a one-line map trigger in pull-request-workflow.md, with the operational payload in a dedicated file. The current PR is blocked by mechanical whitespace failure and by missing Contract Ledger coverage for the new consumed agent-workflow convention.

Peer-Review Opening: The core placement is good: the global workflow stays small, the sync_all details move into a dedicated payload, and create-skill gets a reusable authoring rule for future tool-specific constraints.

Context & Graph Linking

• Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #10835
• Related Graph Nodes: sync_all branch constraint; Map vs World Atlas / Progressive Disclosure; pull-request skill; create-skill authoring guide

Depth Floor

Challenge: The PR introduces a new agent-authoring convention beyond the original ticket's single pull-request-workflow.md AC: create-skill now formalizes Map-vs-World-Atlas placement for future constraints. That is a useful delta, but it makes the ticket's missing Contract Ledger material rather than cosmetic.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit:

• PR description matches the diff: it claims one payload file, one trigger, and a create-skill authoring-rule update.
• New prose uses precise substrate terminology; "Map vs World Atlas" is the actual named constraint-placement pattern under review.
• No [RETROSPECTIVE] tag is present.
• Linked anchor #10835 establishes the sync_all branch-constraint target.

Findings: Pass on framing; Contract Ledger remains missing below.

Graph Ingestion Notes

• [KB_GAP]: N/A
• [TOOLING_GAP]: git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD caught trailing whitespace in two newly added markdown lines before approval.
• [RETROSPECTIVE]: Map-vs-World-Atlas is the correct documentation topology for narrow tool constraints: keep the global workflow as a trigger surface, move detailed operational constraints into dedicated payload files.

Provenance Audit

N/A: this is a workflow documentation refinement, not a new architectural subsystem or imported external abstraction.

Close-Target Audit

• Close-targets identified: #10835
• #10835 confirmed not epic-labeled (documentation, enhancement, ai, model-experience)
• Close-target syntax is newline-isolated: Resolves #10835

Findings: Pass.

Contract Completeness Audit

• Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
• The implementation appears to match the intended contract shape: pull-request-workflow.md trigger + sync-all-constraints.md payload + create-skill convention note.

Findings: Request Changes: this PR modifies consumed agent workflow surfaces and introduces a reusable authoring convention in create-skill, but #10835 has no Contract Ledger. Backfill a minimal ledger covering the three affected surfaces before approval.

Evidence Audit

• PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
• L1 evidence is appropriate for a docs-only skill payload update.
• No runtime residuals are needed.

Findings: Pass.

Source-of-Authority Audit

N/A: this review does not rely on operator/peer authority as the basis for a demand.

MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A: no ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml tool descriptions changed.

Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

N/A: no wire format, JSON-RPC payload, API schema, or MCP tool signature changed.

Cross-Skill Integration Audit

• Existing predecessor surface updated: pull-request-workflow.md now points to the payload before sync_all.
• The new convention is documented in create-skill where future skill authors will encounter it.
• AGENTS_STARTUP.md does not need an update; this is not a startup rule.
• No new MCP tool is added.

Findings: Pass after the Contract Ledger and whitespace cleanup.

Test-Execution Audit

• Branch checked out locally at be749d8831c70d15ba306bb87b0e75da0308e5b7.
• Docs-only change; no unit/runtime test required.
• Link target exists: .agents/skills/pull-request/references/sync-all-constraints.md.
• git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD passes.

Findings: Request Changes: git diff --check fails on trailing whitespace at:

• .agents/skills/create-skill/references/skill-authoring-guide.md:106
• .agents/skills/pull-request/references/sync-all-constraints.md:5

Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

• Remove the trailing whitespace reported by git diff --check in skill-authoring-guide.md:106 and sync-all-constraints.md:5.
• Backfill a minimal Contract Ledger on #10835 covering the consumed workflow surfaces: pull-request-workflow.md trigger, sync-all-constraints.md payload, and create-skill Map-vs-World-Atlas authoring rule.

Evaluation Metrics

• [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 - 10 points deducted because the missing Contract Ledger leaves the new workflow convention under-specified, but the documentation topology itself is correct.
• [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 74 - 26 points deducted for missing Contract Ledger coverage on the consumed skill surfaces.
• [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 70 - 30 points deducted because git diff --check currently fails, which is a hard mechanical gate in this repo.
• [PRODUCTIVITY]: 84 - 16 points deducted because the core #10835 goal is achieved, but merge readiness is blocked by metadata and whitespace cleanup.
• [IMPACT]: 35 - Narrow but useful agent-workflow hygiene improvement.
• [COMPLEXITY]: 24 - Low: three markdown files, one new payload, one workflow trigger, one authoring convention note.
• [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Small documentation refactor with high context-budget payoff once the two cleanup items land.

Per §0, this review can only establish merge eligibility after the required actions are addressed; the actual merge remains human-only.
