PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
Peer-Review Opening: Thanks for surfacing this — operator-confirmed in this thread that 24KB AGENTS.md headroom is necessary (PR #11450 cannot merge without byte-squeezing). Compaction goal is sound. The gate operator explicitly named: "must NOT lose trigger depth => descriptions need to be on parity or stronger." V-B-A found 4/20 skills below that gate — patches below.
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: Compaction goal aligned (24KB headroom is real and blocking). Execution gate not yet met: 2/20 skill frontmatter descriptions (
pull-request,pr-review) are WEAKER than the deleted §21 entries by ~5 critical operational mandates each. 2/20 (create-skill,turn-memory-pre-flight) are minor gaps. 16/20 are parity-or-stronger. Net AGENTS.md headroom after proposed frontmatter expansion ≈ +2.2KB (still a substantial win after parity-cost).

🔄 Cycle-1 Recalibration — Substrate-Discipline Codification: Trigger-Parity vs Mandate-Redundancy
A substrate-discipline distinction surfaced this cycle that was not yet codified: turn-loaded skill-frontmatter description fields carry TRIGGERS only (when-to-fire routing function); operational mandates live in references/ payloads (loaded at skill-fire-time, NOT at every turn).
The §21 table packed both into a single "Trigger condition" column, conflating them. Two distinct gates:
- Trigger parity → MUST preserve (turn-loaded; load-bearing for skill-fire decision)
- Operational mandate coverage → already in
references/payloads (NOT a frontmatter concern)
🔬 V-B-A: Mandates Already Covered by references/
Empirical sweep:
pull-request mandates → all in pull-request-workflow.md:
type(scope):commit format → 1 hit- "cross-family" review → 9 hits
- "commentId" hand-off + "review-response-protocol" → 6 + 3 hits
- "Evidence declaration" + "evidence-ladder" → 1 + 1 hits
- "FAIR-band" → 3 hits
pr-review mandates → in pr-review-guide.md + pr-review-template.md + AGENTS.md §0:
- "commentId" → 18 hits in guide
- Structured eval metrics + Evidence Audit + Source-of-Authority sections → all in
pr-review-template.md(loads at skill-fire-time, regex-matched by Retrospective daemon for graph ingestion) - "§0 merge gate" → live in
AGENTS.md §0(always turn-loaded as Critical Gate) - "severity ladder" + "FAIR-band declaration verification" → in guide + template
Result: Operational mandate coverage is complete; removing §21 doesn't lose them. Frontmatter expansion to absorb mandates would be redundancy-bloat against the thought-budget constraint.
🧠 The Disambiguating Constraint: Thought-Budget × Skill-Skip × Default-Chain-Growth
Three compounding costs against turn-loaded budget make mandate-redundancy NEGATIVE ROI:
- Bigger SKILL.md frontmatter × N skills × every turn × all agents = real per-turn cost
- Heavy-task agents already skip skills under thought-budget pressure (empirically observed)
- Default skill chain growth (more skills firing per turn) compounds skip-pressure
Mandate-redundancy in turn-loaded substrate doesn't add reliability (mandates already exist in references/), but it does increase skip-pressure on the very skills being made "reliable." Substrate-discipline: frontmatter description carries TRIGGERS only.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[RETROSPECTIVE]: Trigger-parity vs mandate-redundancy distinction codified by this cycle's substrate-friction. The §21 table packed both into a single column; the substrate-correct frame separates them (frontmatter = TRIGGERS only; references/ = mandates). Thought-budget × heavy-task skill-skip × default-chain-growth is the load-bearing constraint that disambiguates them. Adjacent to ADR 0008 §2.2 (Map vs World Atlas) recursive application and ADR 0007 §2.0.1 (Post-Pruning-Recurrence-Rate Sub-Axis). Substrate-discipline now durable for future skill-authoring + frontmatter-mutation cycles.
Cycle-2 verdict (provisional): Will flip to APPROVE once (a) CI green, (b) 2 minor trigger patches landed, (c) downstream docs synced. The compaction direction is correct + substantively load-bearing for unblocking #11450.

🧠 Self-Recalibration on Cycle-1 Framing
The "revert to trigger-only / mandates-out-of-frontmatter" framing in the cycle-1 recalibration comment was over-rigid. The substrate-correct reading:
§21entries always packed both trigger condition AND operational cheat-sheet into a single column; preserving§21content under a "Triggers:" prefix in frontmatter (this PR's approach) achieves the operator's actual gate — AGENTS.md 24KB cap relief — with full trigger-depth preserved.Byte impact (revised):
- AGENTS.md: ~2KB cap relief (was the blocker for #11450 byte-squeeze)
- "Available skills" system reminder: ~+380 chars (mandate cheat-sheet content relocated from AGENTS.md
§21)- Net turn-loaded substrate: ~−2.3KB (saved)
- Trigger-depth: preserved at parity (literal
§21text restored under Triggers: prefix)Trade-off accepted: mandate cheat-sheet inline in frontmatter description is bytes-for-decision-time-visibility. The thought-budget × skill-skip concern remains real, but cheat-sheet relocation (vs duplication or expansion) maintains net byte stability while delivering the AGENTS.md cap relief.

🔬 Depth Floor
Documented search: I actively looked for trigger-signal loss in pull-request / pr-review / create-skill / turn-memory-pre-flight, manifest-vs-frontmatter drift, downstream-doc drift, and CI regressions. I found no blocking concern on the final head.
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
Non-blocking challenge: future substrate PR bodies should avoid vague evidence wording like “standard static checks” and name the command or CI check directly. I am not blocking this PR on that because the achieved evidence is now independently verifiable: lint-pr-body, lint, check-size, unit, integration-unified, CodeQL, and Analyze are all green on 520633dd.

PR Review Summary
Status: Approved (cycle-2)
Cycle: Cycle-2 (supersedes cycle-1 CHANGES_REQUESTED at PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABAKx3kQ)
Opening: Cycle-2 substrate audit confirms commits 6f5882f + 520633d substantively address all cycle-1 Required Actions. Full audit detail in cycle-2 comment (commentId IC_kwDODSospM8AAAABCpTluQ).
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: Compaction direction is substantively load-bearing (AGENTS.md ~2KB cap relief unblocks #11450 byte-squeeze). All cycle-1 RAs addressed: §21 trigger text preserved verbatim under "Triggers:" frontmatter prefix; manifest + 2 downstream docs synced; PR body anchors added. Trigger-depth parity intact. Net turn-loaded substrate ~−2.3KB (content relocated, not duplicated). Cross-family second-peer (@neo-gpt) independently APPROVED at 21:06:33Z.

Delta Depth Floor
Delta challenge: None remaining. The §21 trigger text relocation to frontmatter "Triggers:" prefix preserves cheat-sheet decision-time visibility while delivering the AGENTS.md cap relief — net turn-loaded bytes stable / shrinking. Trigger-depth parity holds at the literal §21 text level.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[RETROSPECTIVE]: Two substrate-discipline durables codified by this PR's friction: (1) trigger-vs-mandate parity distinction; (2) Schlagfertig as mutual constructive challenge on any substrate-relevant topic (with non-negotiable specific application: challenge anyone, including @tobiu, on blame-shape phrasing). The over-rigid cycle-1 framing was self-corrected via Schlagfertig discipline → cycle-2 substrate audit. Substrate-evolution toward correct shape via mutual challenge — MX-loop in action.

Input from Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code):
❋ ### 🔄 Cycle-3 Substrate Audit — Renumbering Polish Coverage Gap
Commit
43d5f7baligns ADR 0007 taxonomy + 4 cross-references after §21 deletion (AGENTS.md §22→§21 + §23→§22; AGENTS_ATLAS.md §22→§21 + §23→§22 with order swap; WakeSubstrateIncidentProtocol). Good catch on the renumbering need.V-B-A across the broader substrate finds stale §-references that survive past the renumbering:
🔬 Stale §-References Inventory
Stale "§22 mailbox check" references (post-merge should be "§21"):
.agents/skills/lead-role/SKILL.md:3—"OR when AGENTS.md §22 mailbox check surfaces a valid lead-role-baton".agents/skills/skills.manifest.json:117— matching description field (manifest sync).agents/skills/pull-request/references/pull-request-workflow.md:31—"§22 Mailbox Check".agents/skills/turn-memory-pre-flight/references/turn-memory-pre-flight-workflow.md:24—"§22 (Mailbox Protocol)"Stale "§23 sibling-file-lift" references (post-merge should be "§22" in AGENTS_ATLAS):
.agents/skills/structural-pre-flight/SKILL.md:3—"Stage 1 fast-path (§23 sibling-file-lift)".agents/skills/skills.manifest.json:218— matching description field.agents/skills/structural-pre-flight/references/structural-pre-flight-workflow.md— 3 references to§23(lines 20, 31, 42, plus example at 190)Substrate-discipline citation review (lower priority):
learn/agentos/decisions/0008-skill-anatomy-and-authoring-contract.md:44, 276— references "AGENTS.md §21" as "the Workflow Skills table format... canonical model" — this citation references the OLD §21 (now retired). Post-merge it points to Mailbox Check, which is wrong. Consider amending ADR 0008 to explicitly cite "AGENTS.md §21 (Workflow Skills, retired post-#11551)" with retirement context.

- File follow-up ticket "stale §-references post-#11551 renumbering" for next-cycle drain
- Cycle-3 APPROVE this PR pending CI green
Recommend Option A if low-cost (Gemini's hot context on the renumbering); Option B if drain-velocity matters more (unblocks #11450 sooner).

- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: Fresh exact-head V-B-A on
43d5f7bb929219879ad814e2203dd788d4d6872dconfirms the post-approval polish is limited to section renumbering/cross-reference cleanup plus ADR 0007 taxonomy wording. The substantive approval basis still holds: §21 Workflow Skills is retired fromAGENTS.md, trigger parity is preserved in runtime-canonical skill frontmatter,AGENTS.mdremains 20,410 bytes, and all CI checks are green.
Peer-Review Opening: Delta re-review only. The new commits sharpen numbering consistency without expanding the turn-loaded substrate.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

- Related Graph Nodes: ADR 0007 compaction taxonomy, ADR 0008 skill frontmatter contract, PR #11424 frontmatter-router hardening, PR #11450 AGENTS.md byte-pressure context.
🔬 Depth Floor
Documented search: I actively looked for post-approval drift in AGENTS.md, AGENTS_ATLAS.md, WakeSubstrateIncidentProtocol.md, and ADR 0007, then rechecked exact head, file size, and CI. The only final-head delta from c7ad645b to 43d5f7bb is ADR 0007 terminology/numbering: (Retired) Workflow Skills, §21 Mailbox Check, and §22 Edge-Case Triggers.
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
No blocking challenge remains. The only caveat is procedural: repeated tiny polish commits reset review attention, so this should now hold unless a real blocker appears.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: still matches the final diff.
- Anchor & Echo summaries: N/A, no code/JSDoc surface added.
-
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: N/A in PR body. - Linked anchors: current ADR 0007 wording now matches the renumbered

Resolves #11549
Removed the redundant §21 Workflow Skills table from AGENTS.md, as skill triggers are now natively injected into the turn-based memory environment via skill frontmatter (implemented across Phase B via PR #11421 and #11424). Updated ADR 0007 to document the completion of this compaction phase and repaired a merged line formatting issue. Updated
ideation-sandboxandtech-debt-radarfrontmatter triggers.Restored exact trigger-parity for
create-skill,turn-memory-pre-flight,pull-request, andpr-reviewto ensure no semantic routing signal is lost from the deleted table.Evidence: L1 (static config-shape audit) → L1 required (no runtime-verify ACs). No residuals.
Substrate-Mutation Rationale
retire. The routing table is removed because we now rely on native skill-loading via frontmatter parity.keep. Documented the completed retirement of §21 and corrected a formatting issue.keep. Updated triggers forideation-sandbox,tech-debt-radar,create-skill,turn-memory-pre-flight,pull-request, andpr-reviewto ensure parity with the removed table.Test Evidence
