LRN-034: narrated state (any source) ≠ ground truth — P3 was believed
applied (approval confused with writing, accepted without re-checking)
until git proved otherwise on reprise. Lead signal missed = internal
contradiction ("P3 non écrit" then "P3 fait"). Verify against git.
LRN-035: honest dedup — name-mention ≠ definition-instance; the dosage
rule correctly reduced P4 to a no-op, don't force factorization.

P5: merge the TODO volet of ## Workflow with ## Task tracking into a
single ## Planning & TODO section (when to plan / exempt scope / how to
track), placed right after ## Workflow. Drops the "see Workflow" cross-ref;
no rule lost.
P6: reserve emphasis caps (NEVER/ALWAYS/MUST/FORBIDDEN/ONLY/No…) for the
~9 critical rules only (security, never-invent, append-only memory, radical
honesty, never-assume, STOP, SPA-ban, supply-chain dep vetting). Downgrade
process/style dressing to normal case so the critical anchors stand out.
Typography only — no content or meaning changes.

Design routing was split across 3 places (Skill-routing entries, the
Design gate paragraph, and the Design work section). Collapse the 3
skill-routing design entries to one renvoi; move the Design gate into
"## Design work — full toolchain"; mark that section the single source.
No rule lost — gate preserved verbatim, just relocated.

BDR-023 — merge /close into /capitalize (2 modes + TODO reconcile), /close
now a thin alias. LRN-031 — a skill earns complexity only on gate +
anti-noise + determinism, not by re-coding what a capable agent does free;
if the RED baseline passes, harden the fixture. Journal 2026-06-19.

PASS A done-detection was ~60% machinery a capable agent already does for
free (the baseline checked done tasks and left the umbrella task alone
unaided). Cut the git-command how-to and worked example; keep only the
load-bearing restraint rule (flip only on a clean task<->commit map;
partial/umbrella/vague stay unchecked; never guess).
Add a Red flag: the STEP 3 gate STOP was never exercised (non-interactive
build harness printed the gate then proceeded as approved) — confirm it
halts before any write on first real use. TDD note records the same caveat.

Reflect the /close → /capitalize --ritual merge in the session-loaded routing
table (CLAUDE.md) and the README/USAGE command tables: capitalize now also
reconciles .claude/tasks/TODO.md, --ritual adds the end-of-session reflection,
and /close is documented as an alias. Does not touch the in-progress caveman
purge edits in these files (left unstaged).

Two-mode capitalize: default pre-wipe flush, --ritual adds the 3-question
end-of-session reflection (now deduped, unlike legacy /close). New STEP 2B
reconciles .claude/tasks/TODO.md — PASS A done-detection (only on an
unambiguous task<->commit map), PASS B explicit-only capture with an
anti-noise filter (never track commit/deploy/push/release/tag) and BDR
routing for orientation directives. STEP 3 gate gains a separate TODO block;
journal/handoff report TODO ops. /close becomes a thin alias for
/capitalize --ritual (zero duplicated logic).
Built via superpowers:writing-skills TDD: RED baseline (no skill) folded a
push/tag parasite into the TODO, invented a subtask, and wrote with no gate;
GREEN re-run on the same fixture stops at the gate, drops both dups (footer
shows existing IDs), logs one learning, checks only the cleanly-done task,
ignores the parasite, and routes the GraphQL directive to BDR.

Teach doc-syncer to sync an existing ROADMAP.md without ever creating one.
- ROADMAP absent → propose nothing; never bootstrapped (creation belongs
to init/onboard skills). Never enters DOC_MISSING, never a CREATE
candidate.
- ROADMAP present → standard drift detection plus 'shipped reconciliation':
a planned/unchecked item proven delivered by CODE + git is proposed for
the shipped/done section (or checkbox), preserving wording. [AUTO] when
the item-to-code mapping is obvious, [HUMAN] when it needs judgment.
One direction only (planned -> shipped); never invent planned items.
- Forbid reading .claude/tasks/ (or any .claude/) to populate or check
ROADMAP; shipped status is deduced from code/git only.
- Numeric incoherence (e.g. a '22/22' milestone matching no code counter)
is surfaced as a [HUMAN] question, never overwritten with a guess.
Implements BDR-022's read-only .claude/ boundary for the ROADMAP case.

Run /doc clean over the public docs and apply the verified items.
- README: drop the unused CONTEXT7_API_KEY step from fresh-install (the
var is never read; add an optional ctx7 setup section), complete the
Makefile target table (+link, onboard, profile×3), add personal-skill
rows (audit-delta, capitalize, prune-memory, pdf-translate) with a
scope note, link CHANGELOG.md.
- USAGE: add audit-delta / capitalize / prune-memory to the decision
tree, the quick-decision table, and the command reference, plus a
scope note about plugin/marketplace skills.
- CHANGELOG: add a Keep-a-Changelog [Unreleased] section with a drafted
(review-flagged) summary of changes since 3.4.0.
GSD notation left unchanged: gsd --help confirms both 'gsd <cmd>' (CLI)
and '/gsd <cmd>' (in-TUI) are valid, so no blanket rewrite. CHANGELOG
[Unreleased] is a draft for human review, not exhaustive.

Record the doc-syncer rewrite decision: sync targets limited to public

Rewrite the doc-syncer agent so it only ever targets public docs and
treats .claude/ (and CLAUDE.md) as read-only context.
- Add normative CONVENTIONS section: Standard-Readme, Diátaxis doc-type
separation, Keep a Changelog + SemVer, Conventional Commits.
- Add CONTEXT SOURCES section: .claude/ and CLAUDE.md may be read for
project context but are never modified, never sync targets, and their
content is never copied into a public doc.
- Drop .claude/{tasks,audits,memory} and CLAUDE.md from discovery,
per-doc analysis, tagging, patches, and the report. Remove the STEP 4
blocks that audited TODO.md / audits/*.md / decisions-learnings-blockers.
- Fix sync scope to the modifiable targets: README, INSTALL, CONFIGURE,
USAGE, DEPLOY, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, SECURITY, ARCHITECTURE, LICENSE,
docs/**. Add SECURITY.md and ARCHITECTURE.md analysis stanzas.
- Make the README template lean (Standard-Readme order): drop Status and
Project layout; forbid roadmap/todo/internal-state; README only links
to the Diátaxis docs, never duplicates them.
- Add CLEAN mode (triggered by a 'clean' arg): propose removal of
out-of-convention sections and copied .claude/ content from existing
public docs, HUMAN-tagged and gate-validated.
- Conserve: stack detection, 14-section DEPLOY gate, validation gate,
AUTO/HUMAN tagging, never-invent rule, AUTO MODE (input contract
'auto-mode scope:' unchanged, so callers are unaffected).
- Preserve frontmatter name/tools/model; update description to reflect
the public-doc scope and 'reads .claude/ for context only'.

Fable 5 audit of the global CLAUDE.md (symlinked from this repo):
Contradictions resolved:
- two conflicting graphify sections merged into one (query-first when
graphify-out/graph.json exists, direct read otherwise; single command
form; dropped the false 'this project has a knowledge graph' claim)
- plan rule: 'when in doubt skip plan' no longer cancels the mandate —
borderline = single-file small obvious change
- deviation rule disambiguated: minor/justified -> explain after,
significant/shaky -> ask before
- 'append-only' registries reconciled with /prune-memory curation
Dead refs fixed: /caveman:compress -> /caveman-compress; design-gate
path now ~/.claude/lib/ (was repo-relative); '(replaces LESSONS)' note
dropped.
Structure: Health Stack / Skill routing / graphify no longer nested
under '# Communication mode'; new '# Tooling & skills' and
'# This repo only' sections; repo-specific Health Stack labeled as such.
Routing updated: + audit-delta, close, capitalize, prune-memory,
profile, context-restore, geo; explicit gstack-OFF fallback rule.
Mid-task question exception generalized to all skill-mandated gates.
Non-critical sections caveman-compressed; Architecture decisions and
Security kept verbatim (must stay unambiguous). Net -1471 chars while
adding 8 routing entries.

Both blind judges flagged the same residual: without a detection
criterion, a /seo-dispatched subagent could misread itself as headless
and degrade to report-only. Unreachable = no answer obtainable at all

thread that can relay questions is reachable.

Round 2 of darwin optimization (judge-identified residuals):
- 3c marker rule now cross-references the STEP 0 dangling/corrupted
exceptions instead of contradicting them
- corrupted-but-present state JSON branch defined (trust no axis,
ask repair/reset; headless -> full codebase report-only, file as-is)
- unreachable user at 3e max-cycles STOP -> fail closed: revert axis
fixes, findings back to open, marker untouched

Round 1 of darwin optimization, dim3 (failure-mode encoding). Live test

Wrap the frontmatter description in quotes (defensive valid-YAML: it contains an em-dash and an apostrophe). Add skills/design-motion-principles to the external-skill-symlink ignore allowlist so it matches its 4 siblings (emil-design-eng, frontend-design, darwin-skill, find-skills) and stops surfacing as untracked noise — consistent with the LRN-025 allowlist rule.

Strip the disable-model-invocation frontmatter key from all 19 editable skills. Absent = default = model invocation enabled. 8 were 'true' and blocked the model AND orchestrators from self-routing (status, plugin-check, analyze, onboard, refactor, init-project, pdf-translate, ship-feature) — contradicting the CLAUDE.md skill-routing rules. The other 11 were 'false', a no-op noise line.
The setting is binary (no per-caller granularity), so enabling orchestrator chaining also enables model auto-fire — accepted. Genuinely destructive operations remain guarded by the careful/guard hooks, independent of this flag.

Salvages registry-worthy insights from the conversation before /clear or /compact wipes context. Scans the conversation, dedups each candidate against the existing .claude/memory/ registries (its signature move vs /close), routes across all 5 registries behind a compact approval gate, always writes a journal line.
Baseline-tested per superpowers:writing-skills (RED/GREEN/REFACTOR): the no-skill baseline double-logged one incident across LRN+BLK; the skill passes clean and now counters that via a 'one incident -> one primary registry' rule. Ships v1 with the approval gate as the human safety net (same posture as /prune-memory).

A gstack submodule bump added `spec` (v1.47) and the iOS device-farm
5-skill set (v1.43) but gstack `./setup` was never re-run, leaving all 6
as source-only — unlinked, invisible to Claude and untouched by
reset/`gstack on`.
- Link `spec` only, surgically: skills/spec/SKILL.md symlink matching
gstack setup's per-skill pattern (real dir + absolute SKILL.md link).
Platform-agnostic, useful planning skill. Added to full + web-full
profiles (must be in the active `full` profile or `set full` would
re-disable it).
- iOS skills deliberately NOT linked: this is a Linux host, and the iOS
device-farm needs a Mac daemon + Tailscale + physical iOS devices.
Linking them would add 5 dead skills plus passive token cost.
- Complete the .gitignore gstack allowlist: add the 12 entries missing
from it — `spec`, the 5 `ios-*` (so they stay ignored if a future
setup on a Mac materializes them), and 6 already-parked skills
(document-generate, landing-report, scrape, setup-gbrain, skillify,
sync-gbrain). The parked ones matter because `gstack on` moves parked
skills into skills/, where any allowlist gap becomes untracked git
noise. Also drop the stale `skills/checkpoint` entry (renamed to
context-save).
Verified: `profile show full`/`web-full` report spec enabled; the
source-vs-allowlist drift check is now empty; profile.sh still parses.
The gstack submodule pointer bump itself is left uncommitted (separate
pending work).
Memory: BLK-007 -> resolved; LRN-025 (gitignore allowlist must cover all
toggleable skills incl. parked, else enabling one = git noise).

Centralize gstack toggling in the `profile` command without losing the
active-profile label.
- `gstack on` re-enables ALL parked gstack skills (moves
skills-disabled/gstack__* back) but does NOT touch .active-profile,
so the user layers full gstack on top of their current profile and
the statusline label is preserved. Unlike `reset`, which clears the
label to "none".
- `gstack off` disables gstack skills not listed in the active profile;
errors cleanly when no profile is active (needs one to know what to
keep).
Refactor (behavior-preserving): extract three shared helpers
`enable_all_gstack`, `disable_gstack_not_in`, `parked_gstack_count` and
rewire `cmd_reset` + `cmd_set` to reuse them instead of duplicating the
symlink-toggle loops. Wire `gstack` into main() dispatch, usage(), and the
header usage block.
Docs: SKILL.md argument-hint, examples, and output-policy updated. The
generic `make profile cmd="gstack on"` target already covers Make usage.
Verified: shellcheck CLEAN, `bash -n` OK, 6-case test (help, bad-action,
off-with-no-profile, on, off-trim, on-cycle) with final assertion that the
live symlink state was restored exactly to its pre-test value.
Memory: capitalize BDR-018 (decision), LRN-024 (DRY helper-extraction
pattern), BLK-007 (6 gstack source skills ios-*/spec unlinked post
submodule bump — open follow-up), EVAL-002 (self-eval, false "full.profile
bug" flag corrected pre-edit). Backfill index drift: BDR-017, BLK-005/006.

Add a tiered-by-scope "Design work — full toolchain" rule to the global
CLAUDE.md: trivial tweaks stay on /hotfix, building UI mobilizes ui-ux-pro-max,
frontend-design, Magic MCP, emil-design-eng, design-motion-principles, and
design-html; design systems start with design-consultation; reviews use
design-review + emil + motion audit. In doubt about scope, do not silently
skip the toolchain — ask or default to the Build tier.
Reinforce it with a design-toolchain-reminder UserPromptSubmit hook that
detects UI/design signals (broad FR+EN keyword set, \b-guarded against
substring false matches) and injects the tiered guidance into context. Soft
nudge, always exits 0, falls back to raw stdin when the hook JSON is missing.

Per-skill SKILL.md symlinks don't expose gstack's shared infrastructure.
Multiple skills hardcode ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/ (gstack-config,
gstack-update-check, gstack-paths) and gstack/browse/dist/ (browse binary).
Create targeted symlinks in link.sh:
- ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/ → skills-external/gstack/bin/
- ~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/ → skills-external/gstack/browse/dist/
Fixes: browse binary not found, gstack-config failures, freeze gstack-paths
resolution. Safe with profile toggles (profiles move per-skill dirs, not
the gstack/ infra dir). Safe with stale link cleanup (only removes -L
