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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X3e8LaH2vymmxyh36h3jFU
Record the doc-syncer rewrite decision: sync targets limited to public
docs, .claude/ and CLAUDE.md as read-only context, normative conventions
and clean mode added. Extends BDR-016, does not supersede it. Log the
session in journal.md under 2026-06-18.

Add LRN-030 documenting Opus 4.8's tendency to under-delegate
subagents/memory/custom-tools by default and the CLAUDE.md fan-out
rule that counters it; log the session in journal.md under 2026-06-18.

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.
Capitalized: BDR-019 (decision), LRN-026 (learning), journal 2026-06-09.

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.

Session entries from two bugfix sessions:
- BLK-004: orphan /ship-feature wrapper post-refactor (resolved)
- BLK-005: profile checkpoint→context-save rename (resolved)
- BLK-006: profile.sh symlink false-negative via logical cd (resolved)
- LRN-021: sweep ~/.claude/commands/ after orchestrator migrations
- LRN-022: audit profiles against gstack skill list after submodule bump
- LRN-023: cd -P mandatory for scripts invoked via symlink

BDR-017: `full` profile = web-full + plan + dev superset for end-to-end
MVP via /init-project. Alternatives rejected: extend web-full (different
semantic), profile-of-profiles (not supported), keep 3 apply-chained.
LRN-020: sentinel/identifier collision pattern — `cmd_current`'s "full
(no profile set)" literal collided with new profile name. Renamed to
"none". Rule: sentinels must be outside the entity namespace.

BDR-016: doc-syncer makes README AUTO+unconditional (no skip at
validation gate, only yes/edit) and DEPLOY.md prod-only with a
14-section VPS-deploy template. Mixed dev/prod DEPLOY.md flagged as
drift; dev quick-start lives only in README.
LRN-019: deployable-project doc split by audience — README = dev +
features, DEPLOY = ops + SRE. 14-section template mirrors real
VPS-deploy shape (topology, env, provisioning, two-layer firewall,
Docker tuning, persistence, backups, TLS, observability, hardening,
rollback, runbook). Drop sections that don't apply.

/prune-memory first run flagged body↔Index drift on BDR-011:
- Index row (since 2026-05-11): `superseded by BDR-013`
- Body line 201 (since 2026-05-07): `Status: accepted`
BDR-013 explicitly supersedes BDR-011's 4-chapter doc structure with
6-chapter restructure (scores+NAP promoted). Body now consistent with
Index.

Pattern: toggle scripts for tools with separate install + symlink steps
must check 3 states (disabled-dir, enabled-dir, source-only), not 2.
Source-only branch creates symlink in place rather than failing. Error
messages name the path checked, not just the abstract tool name, so
callers can diagnose install vs symlink state without rereading the
script. Symmetric pairs (enable/disable) must both cover the same
lifecycle states — missing state in one half = silent dead end.

Matcher was Glob|Grep — those tool inputs have no `command` field, so
the hint never fired. Switch to Bash matcher and gate on the actual
command substring (grep, rg, ripgrep, find, fd, ack, ag) so the
graphify hint only injects when Claude is about to scan raw files.

- BDR-007: Skill profiles partition gstack by usage (v1, skill-only).
Decision to ship lib/profile.sh + symlink-based toggle for skills,
with plugin/MCP entries advisory in v1. Rationale: the existing
toggle-external.sh enable|disable gstack is too coarse — it
disables checkpoint/ship/learn alongside design skills. Profiles
hide the irrelevant skills without uninstalling the gstack repo.
Alternatives rejected: forking SKILL.md to strip the gstack
preamble (re-fork on every upgrade — preamble already degrades
gracefully via `|| true`); per-skill toggle via claude plugin
enable/disable (gstack skills are not marketplace plugins);
removing symlinks (lossy if user has local edits).
- BDR-008: Profile system v2 — extend to plugins + MCPs + CLIs.
Reverses the "advisory only" stance from BDR-007 alternative #4.
User feedback: pure-skill toggling left ui-ux-pro-max/magic always
loaded regardless of profile, so passive token cost didn't drop
enough on profile switch. Solution: real claude plugin enable/
disable for an explicit MANAGED_PLUGINS allowlist (3 entries) +
PROTECTED_PLUGINS denylist for always-on (caveman, security-
guidance, superpowers). MCP magic delegated to toggle-external.sh.
Other MCPs stay advisory because each needs specific config. Adds
4 new profiles: web, seo, web-full, backend.
- Journal: 2026-05-04 entry summarizing the v1 ship, then a follow-up
block for the v2 extension (new profiles, plugin auto-toggle, tie-
breaker for `current`).
- TODO.md: marked done — v1 (Skill profiles) section and v2 (Profile
system v2 — extension plugins/MCPs/CLIs) section, both with their
full subtask lists.

- BDR-006: Caveman as 4th always-on plugin (output compression, sym
with rtk's input compression). Full install rationale, alternatives
rejected, caveats around path normalization + gitignore.
- LRN-005: claude plugin install does NOT enable — explicit
claude plugin enable required for ALWAYS-ON plugins. Pattern: read
enabledPlugins, never hardcode plugin names in status displays.
- LRN-006: caveman-shrink (and any MCP middleware proxy) needs an
upstream wrapper. Bare registration fails health checks. Pattern:
register under derived names (proxy-upstream), don't auto-register.

BDR-005: motion as default animation library; plugin-advisor stays
read-only (orchestrators own install).
LRN-004: framer-motion was rebranded `motion` in Nov 2024 — single
package for React/Svelte/vanilla, separate `motion-v` for Vue. React
Native still needs react-native-reanimated.

BDR-004 documents the decision to adopt auto permission mode as default
with classifier safety net, alternatives, and feature-gate caveats.
LRN-003 captures the gotcha that Claude Code's disable* settings use
the literal sentinel string "disable" rather than a boolean — required
context for any future permission-mode change.

Apply the English-only rule (BDR/CLAUDE.md § Memory registries)
retroactively to the 9 entries written before the rule was in place:
- decisions.md: BDR-001, BDR-002, BDR-003 + index titles
- learnings.md: LRN-001, LRN-002 body prose (LRN-002 was already
half-English from the CAPITALIZE pass; now fully normalized)
- blockers.md: BLK-001, BLK-002 + BLK-002 index row
- journal.md: 2026-04-23 entry rewritten, + one bullet added noting
the retrofit itself
- evals.md: EVAL-001 + index row
Content-preserving translation — same claims, same IDs, same dates,
same file structure. YAML headers and schema sections untouched
(they were already English).

First real CAPITALIZE phase (commit-changer Phase 4) — extract reusable
knowledge from the .claude/ restructure batch (commits 892de28..6ec06c8):
- BDR-003: gitignore wildcard + negations pattern (decision with why/alts)
- LRN-002: moving report-file paths requires grepping bash READS,
not just WRITES — rule learned from 2 dispatchers being
silently broken until a verify-gate caught them
- BLK-002: rmdir blocked in sandbox even on empty dirs — resolved via
git rm + rename auto-detect (no rmdir needed in practice)
- journal: 2026-04-23 entry extended with verify-gate outcomes and
commit batch reference

Previous rule (.claude/) ignored everything under .claude/, making
the new governance files invisible to git. Switches to a wildcard
pattern with explicit negations: tasks/memory/audits/settings.json
become trackable; settings.local.json and agent-memory/ stay
per-machine. Commits existing .claude/settings.json which now falls
under the tracked scope.
Verified with git check-ignore:
- .claude/memory/decisions.md → exit 1 (not ignored) ✓
- .claude/tasks/TODO.md → exit 1 (not ignored) ✓
- .claude/settings.local.json → exit 0 (ignored) ✓
- .claude/agent-memory/ → exit 0 (ignored) ✓

Move tasks/ into .claude/tasks/ and create .claude/memory/ with 5
persistent registries (decisions/learnings/blockers/journal/evals) plus
.claude/audits/ for audit reports. Also seed templates/memory/ for
onboarder to copy into user projects.
- tasks/TODO.md, tasks/rtk-upstream-issue.md → .claude/tasks/
- tasks/LESSONS.md deleted (empty template; superseded by learnings.md)
- .claude/memory/: 5 append-only registries with YAML schema + seed entries
- templates/memory/: 5 empty-index templates for new projects
