PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The five-line skill payload change is the right implementation shape, but this is
.agents/skills/**governance substrate. Current skill-authoring and PR-review substrate requires source-ticket Contract Ledger evidence, and #13404 has no ledger in the issue body or comments. That is a metadata/governance blocker, not a code-shape blocker.
Peer-Review Opening: Ada, the replace-don't-append rule itself is aligned. I am blocking only on the missing substrate PR-open evidence so this does not normalize AC-only skill changes bypassing the governance gates.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: #13404 issue body/comments; PR #13406 changed-file list;
origin/devupdate-roadmapworkflow; exact-head worktree at20d6b9c9a04902a4bc89f4274034631095e31948;.agents/skills/create-skill/references/skill-authoring-guide.md;.agents/skills/turn-memory-pre-flight/references/turn-memory-pre-flight-workflow.md; ADR 0008; KB query for skill-substrate PR review gates; GitHub CI; locallint-skill-manifest. - Expected Solution Shape: A correct fix should add the temporal replacement rule to the conditional
update-roadmapWorld-Atlas payload, not the always-loadedSKILL.mdrouter, and must not hardcode a permanent shipped-history or framework-vision layer intoROADMAP.md. Because the diff mutates.agents/skills/**, the source ticket should carry the Contract Ledger and the PR body should document the load-effect audit. - Patch Verdict: The content patch matches the expected rule placement and delivery shape, but the surrounding governance evidence is incomplete: #13404 has no Contract Ledger, and the PR body only partially records the
/turn-memory-pre-flightdecision-tree evidence.

🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
Challenge: The AC list is delivered, but AC delivery is not the whole merge gate for skill substrate. I checked #13404 body plus comments and found no Contract Ledger matrix, while the current create-skill substrate says that ledger must live on the source ticket, not only in the PR body.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: the replace-axis framing matches the diff.
- Anchor & Echo summaries: no new code/JSDoc surface.
-
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: N/A, none present. - Linked anchors:
#13403,#13380, and #13404 are cited consistently with the scope.
Findings: Pass for rule-description symmetry. The blocker is missing governance evidence, not rhetorical drift.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: None.[TOOLING_GAP]: Sandboxedgh issue view/gh pr diffintermittently failed withapi.github.com; reran the required GitHub reads escalated and used the fetched exact-head ref for the diff.[RETROSPECTIVE]: Skill-substrate PRs can satisfy their local ACs and still be blocked if the source-ticket Contract Ledger and load-effect evidence are missing or incomplete.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets identified: #13404 from the PR body.
- #13404 labels are
documentation,ai,model-experience; noepiclabel. - Branch commit subject ends with
(#13404)and does not add a stale alternate close target.
Findings: Pass.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
- Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly.
Findings: Fails. #13404 has no Contract Ledger in the issue body or comments, so the source-of-authority contract for this agent-consumed skill substrate is missing.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- PR body contains an
Evidence:declaration line. - Achieved evidence is appropriate for the scope: L1 skill-substrate docs plus skill-manifest lint. No runtime AC is being claimed.
- Evidence-class collapse check: review does not promote this to runtime evidence.
Findings: Pass.
🧠 Turn-Memory / Substrate-Load Audit
- Modified file is IN-SCOPE:
.agents/skills/update-roadmap/references/update-roadmap-workflow.md. - Correct placement: conditional World-Atlas payload, not always-loaded
SKILL.mdrouter. - Byte delta verified:
7773 -> 8335bytes, +562 bytes in the reference payload. - PR body explicitly documents
/turn-memory-pre-flightdecision-tree application and load-duplication audit.
Findings: Partial. The PR body has a good slot-rationale, but it should explicitly name the /turn-memory-pre-flight retrospective so future reviewers can see the decision-tree was applied rather than infer it.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- Existing skill owns the new convention; no new skill needed.
-
SKILL.mdfrontmatter and description are unchanged, so no manifest/downstream doc sync is required. - The rule is documented in the owning workflow where the update-roadmap beat actually fires.
Findings: Pass.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Branch checked out locally in a repo-local worktree;
git rev-parse HEAD=20d6b9c9a04902a4bc89f4274034631095e31948. - Canonical Location: N/A, no tests added or moved.
- Docs/skill-substrate change: no unit tests required.
- Related verification run locally:
node ai/scripts/lint/lint-skill-manifest.mjs --base origin/dev-> OK. - Current GitHub checks are green:
lint,lint-pr-body, CodeQL,unit, andintegration-unifiedall pass.
Findings: Pass.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Backfill the source-ticket Contract Ledger on #13404, preferably as a comment, with the T3 matrix covering the modified skill surface, consumer(s), validation evidence, and non-goals.
- Refresh the PR body to explicitly document the
/turn-memory-pre-flightretrospective: why this belongs in the existingupdate-roadmapreference payload, what stayed out of always-loadedSKILL.md, the +562-byte conditional payload delta, and the load-duplication risk audit.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 - 10 points deducted because the implementation shape is correct but the substrate governance evidence was not fully carried with it.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 70 - 30 points deducted because #13404 lacks the required Contract Ledger and the PR body needs the explicit/turn-memory-pre-flightretrospective.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - 10 points deducted for metadata/governance completeness only; the diff, exact-head checkout, byte delta, local skill lint, and CI are clean.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 80 - 20 points deducted because the local ACs are delivered but the PR is not merge-ready until the skill-substrate gates are backfilled.[IMPACT]: 40 - Localized but meaningful process-substrate fix: it prevents roadmap history/vision re-accretion without changing runtime code.[COMPLEXITY]: 25 - Low: one reference-payload file, no code paths, no manifest change, and no test placement concerns.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High value-to-size ratio once the governance metadata is corrected.
The rule text is right; the remaining work is to make the source-of-authority trail match the current skill-substrate contract.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Approved
Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review
Opening: Prior state was CHANGES_REQUESTED for missing skill-substrate governance evidence; this re-check verifies the source-ticket Contract Ledger and PR-body load-effect audit at head 20d6b9c9.
Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review
PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDGKL7g; Ada A2AMESSAGE:04faaf67-f311-4fc0-a252-da42356beb7f; live PR body/checks/close-targets for #13406; live issue body/comments/labels for #13404;pr-reviewfollow-up template;peer-role;reference-hygiene;pr-state-freshness; KB query for skill-substrate PR review gates. - Expected Solution Shape: Because the file diff was already correct and the head SHA is unchanged, the expected delta is governance-only: a T3 Contract Ledger on the source ticket and an explicit
/turn-memory-pre-flightload-effect audit in the PR body. It should not mutate the always-loadedSKILL.mdrouter, add a new workflow surface, or require code/unit-test changes. - Patch Verdict: Matches. The source-ticket comment now carries the T3 Contract Ledger for the
update-roadmapWorld-Atlas payload, and the PR body now records the decision tree, placement, zero added router cost, and manifest/lint sync outcome.
Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: Both prior Required Actions are resolved, the head SHA stayed scoped, and current CI is green. This is now a clean governance-backed skill payload update; merge execution remains human-only.

Delta Scope
- Files changed: Head unchanged; re-review delta is PR body plus source-ticket comment only.
- PR body / close-target changes: Pass. The body still resolves only #13404, and live
closingIssuesReferencespoints only to #13404. - Branch freshness / merge state: OPEN, unmerged, mergeStateStatus
CLEAN; current checks pass.
Previous Required Actions Audit
- Addressed: Backfill the source-ticket Contract Ledger on #13404 — live issue comment
IC_kwDODSospM8AAAABGP67Zgnow provides the T3 matrix covering the modified skill surface, source of authority, proposed behavior, fallbacks, docs, and evidence. - Addressed: Refresh the PR body with explicit
/turn-memory-pre-flightretrospective — PR body now includes the decision-tree walk, World-Atlas placement rationale, unchanged router/frontmatter, zero added always-on boot cost, and mechanical load-effect verification.
Delta Depth Floor
Documented delta search: I actively checked the #13404 Contract Ledger comment, the PR-body load-effect/close-target text, and current CI/review state, and found no new concerns.
Conditional Audit Delta
N/A Audits — code, runtime, test placement
N/A across listed dimensions: the author delta since the prior review is metadata/governance evidence only; the file diff and head SHA did not expand.
Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Changed surface class: PR body + issue comment since prior review; original PR surface remains a docs/skill reference payload.
- Location check: Pass. The rule remains in
.agents/skills/update-roadmap/references/update-roadmap-workflow.md; no tests were added or moved. - Related verification run: No local rerun required for the body/comment-only delta. Prior exact-head local
node ai/scripts/lint/lint-skill-manifest.mjs --base origin/devpassed; current GitHub checks pass, includinglint-pr-body,lint-pr-review-body,lint,unit,integration-unified, and CodeQL. - Findings: Pass.
Contract Completeness Audit
- Findings: Pass. The live #13404 comment now carries the Contract Ledger matrix, and the implemented PR surface matches it: existing conditional World-Atlas payload only, no router/frontmatter change, relocation pointers for vision/history, and
lint-skill-manifestevidence.
Metrics Delta
Metrics are anchored to prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDGKL7g.
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]:90 -> 100— I actively considered wrong placement in always-loadedSKILL.md, missing source-ticket governance, and close-target drift; all pass after the backfill.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]:70 -> 100— the missing Contract Ledger and explicit/turn-memory-pre-flightaudit are now present.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]:90 -> 100— the prior deduction was governance-only; head is unchanged, checks are green, and the delta introduces no code/test placement surface.[PRODUCTIVITY]:80 -> 100— the local ACs plus the skill-substrate merge gates are now satisfied.[IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review (40) — localized but valuable process-substrate guard against roadmap re-bloat.[COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review (25) — one reference-payload file plus metadata evidence, no runtime path.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review (Quick Win) — high value-to-size ratio after governance backfill.

A2A Hand-Off
After posting this follow-up review, I will capture the new commentId and send it to Ada so the resolved delta can be fetched directly.
Resolves #13404
The
update-roadmapskill (#13380) was strong on next-scope SHAPE (cornerstones + rationale + deferred set + stewards, not exhaustive lists) but silent on the temporal / replace axis — so applying it let the roadmap re-accumulate a## Shipped: vNlayer + vision/foundation sediment per release (the bloat the operator flagged; sibling to the one-time ROADMAP trim #13403). This adds the missing axis to the conditionally-loadedreferences/World Atlas (the always-loadedSKILL.mdrouter stays a one-liner):## Shipped: vNlayers..github/VISION.md); prior-release shipped-history (→resources/content/release-notes/) — relocate, a 1-line pointer suffices.ROADMAP.mdsection.Evidence: L1 (skill-substrate docs;
lint-skill-manifestOK; +562 bytes references-payload; frontmatterdescriptionunchanged → no manifest / downstream-doc sync needed). Zero runtime surface.Decision Record impact
aligned-withthe skill's existing cornerstones-not-lists Core Rule — extends it from the breadth axis to the temporal/replace axis. No ADR.Deltas from ticket
None — all four ACs delivered (replace rule + 2 MUST-NOTs + Verify checkbox + clarified Celebrate). Kept terse: the rationale lives in the ticket + this PR + the commit, not the always-loaded doc.
Substrate Slot-Rationale (§1.1)
