From a7b15298e0bcbbea72e81d1df00b3ded7d2fd4d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Lamb Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:40:27 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Merge step (b): carry in local-only files at original paths Brings 47 local-only files from backup-local-main into the merge-upstream branch at their pre-rename paths. Subsequent steps will rename these to the ce-* convention and port shared-file merges. Includes: - Custom skills: john-voice, jira-ticket-writer, hugo-blog-publisher, weekly-shipped, proof-push, ship-it, story-lens, sync-confluence, excalidraw-png-export, python-package-writer, fastapi-style, upstream-merge - Custom agents: design-conformance-reviewer, tiangolo-fastapi-reviewer, zip-agent-validator, python-package-readme-writer, lint - Custom commands: essay-edit, essay-outline, pr-comments-to-todos, resolve_todo_parallel, workflows/{plan,review,work} - Local mods to ce-review/SKILL.md + review-output-template.md (will be ported to ce-code-review in a later step) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) --- .../docs/python-package-readme-writer.md | 174 ++++ .../review/design-conformance-reviewer.md | 72 ++ .../review/tiangolo-fastapi-reviewer.md |

You do not explore the broader codebase to discover patterns or conventions -- the design docs and plan are your only source of truth for what the code *should* do. + +**Get the diff.** Use `git diff` against the base branch to see all changes on the current branch. This is the artifact under review. + +**Discover the design corpus.** Use the Obsidian CLI to find relevant design docs. Run `obsidian search query=""` with terms derived from the diff (architecture, entity model, API contract, error taxonomy, ADR, etc.) to locate design documents in the vault.

Prefer exact ticket/branch match, then `status: active`, then most recent. If ambiguous, ask the user. If no plan exists, proceed with design-doc review only and note the absence. + +## What you're hunting for + +- **Structural drift** -- the diff places a component, service boundary, or communication path somewhere the architecture doc or an ADR says it shouldn't be. Example: the design doc specifies gRPC between internal services but the diff introduces a REST call. +- **Entity and schema mismatches** -- the diff introduces a field name, type, nullability, or enum value that differs from what the canonical entity model or schema doc defines. Example: the schema doc says `status` is a four-value enum but the diff adds a fifth value not listed. +- **Behavioral divergence** -- the diff implements a state transition, error classification, retry parameter, or event-handling flow that contradicts a behavioral spec. Example: the error taxonomy doc specifies exponential backoff with jitter but the diff retries at a fixed interval. +- **Contract violations** -- the diff adds or changes an API signature, adapter method, or protocol choice that breaks a contract doc. Example: the interface contract requires 16 methods but the diff implements 14. +- **Constraint breaches** -- the diff introduces a code path that cannot satisfy an NFR documented in the constraints. Example: the constraints doc targets <500ms read latency but the diff adds a synchronous fan-out across three services. +- **Plan requirement gaps** -- requirements from the plan's Requirements Trace (R1, R2, ...) that are unmet or only superficially satisfied. Implementation units completed differently than planned. Verification criteria that don't hold. Cases where the letter of a requirement is met but the intent is missed -- e.g., "add retry logic" satisfied by a single immediate retry with no backoff. +- **Scope creep or scope shortfall** -- work that goes beyond the plan's scope boundaries (doing things explicitly excluded) or falls short of what was committed. + +## Confidence calibration + +Your confidence should be **high (0.80+)** when you can cite the exact design document, section, and specification that the code contradicts, and the contradiction is unambiguous.

Or when a plan requirement appears met but you're unsure the implementation fully captures the intent. + +Your confidence should be **low (below 0.60)** when the finding requires assumptions about design intent that aren't documented, or when the plan's open questions suggest the gap was intentionally deferred. Suppress these. + +## What you don't flag + +- **Deviations explained by the plan's open questions** -- if the plan explicitly deferred a decision to implementation, the implementor's choice is not a deviation unless it contradicts a constraint. +- **Code quality, style, or performance** -- those belong to other reviewers. You only flag design and plan conformance. +- **Missing design coverage** -- if the design docs don't address an area the code touches, that's an ambiguity to note, not a deviation to flag. +- **Test implementation details** -- how tests are structured is not a design conformance concern unless the plan specifies a testing approach. +- **Known issues already tracked** -- if a red team review or known-issues doc already tracks the finding, reference it by ID instead of re-reporting. + +## Finding structure + +Each finding must include a **multi-option resolution analysis**.

The goal: every word, every phrase, and every assertion must be able to withstand a hostile, smart reader drilling into it. If you pull on a thread and the piece crumbles, the edit isn't done. + +**What bulletproof means:** +Each claim is underpinned by logic that holds when examined. Not language that *sounds* confident — logic that *is* sound. GenAI-generated and VC-written prose fails this test constantly: it uses terms like "value," "conviction," and "impact" as load-bearing words that carry no actual weight. Strip those away and nothing remains. + +**The audit process — work through every claim:** + +1. **Identify the assertion.** What is actually being claimed in this sentence or paragraph? +2. **Apply adversarial pressure.** A skeptical reader asks: "How do you know? What's the evidence? What's the mechanism?" Can the essay answer those questions — either explicitly or by implication? +3. **Test jargon.** Replace every abstract term ("value," "alignment," "transformation," "ecosystem," "leverage") with its literal meaning. If the sentence falls apart, the jargon was hiding a hole. +4. **Test causality.** For every "X leads to Y" or "because of X, Y" — is the mechanism explained? Or is the causal claim assumed? +5. **Test specificity.** Vague praise ("a powerful insight," "a fundamental shift") signals the author hasn't committed to the claim. Make it specific or cut it. + +**Flag and fix:** +- Mark every claim that fails the audit with a `[HOLE]` comment inline. +- For each hole, either: (a) rewrite the claim to be defensible, (b) add the missing logic or evidence, or (c) cut the claim if it cannot be rescued. +- Do not polish language over a logical hole. A well-written unsupported claim is worse than a clumsy honest one — it's harder to catch. + +**The test:** After the audit, could a hostile reader pick the piece apart? If yes, the audit isn't done. Return to step 1. + +## Phase 4: Line-Level Edit + +Now edit the prose itself. Work sentence by sentence through the full essay. + +**Word choice:** +- Replace vague words with specific ones +- Flag hedging language that weakens claims without adding nuance: "somewhat", "rather", "may", "might", "could potentially", "in some ways", "it is possible that" +- Remove filler: "very", "really", "quite", "just", "a bit", "a little" +- Replace abstract nouns with concrete ones where possible + +**Grammar and mechanics:** +- Fix subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, pronoun clarity +- Break up sentence structures that obscure meaning +- Eliminate passive voice where active voice is stronger — but don't apply this mechanically; passive is sometimes the right choice + +**Sentence rhythm:** +- Vary sentence length. Short sentences create punch. Long sentences build momentum. +- Identify any runs of similarly-structured sentences and break the pattern +- Ensure each paragraph opens with energy and closes with either a landing or a pull forward + +**The kinetic test:** +After editing each paragraph, ask: does this paragraph move? Does the last sentence create a small pull toward the next paragraph? If the prose feels like it's trudging, rewrite until it has momentum. + +**Voice preservation:** +At every step, check edits against the voice calibration from Phase 1.

Research Decision + +Based on signals from Step 0 and findings from Step 1, decide on external research. + +**High-risk topics → always research.** Security, payments, external APIs, data privacy. The cost of missing something is too high.

Minimize permission prompts by combining into as few commands as possible. + +**If `base:` argument is provided (fast path):** + +The caller already knows the diff base. Skip all base-branch detection, remote resolution, and merge-base computation. Use the provided value directly: + +``` +BASE_ARG="{base_arg}" +BASE=$(git merge-base HEAD "$BASE_ARG" 2>/dev/null) || BASE="$BASE_ARG" +``` + +Then produce the same output as the other paths: + +``` +echo "BASE:$BASE" && echo "FILES:" && git diff --name-only $BASE && echo "DIFF:" && git diff -U10 $BASE && echo "UNTRACKED:" && git ls-files --others --exclude-standard +``` + +This path works with any ref — a SHA, `origin/main`, a branch name. Automated callers (ce:work, lfg, slfg) should prefer this to avoid the detection overhead. **Do not combine `base:` with a PR number or branch target.** If both are present, stop with an error: "Cannot use `base:` with a PR number or branch target — `base:` implies the current checkout is already the correct branch. Pass `base:` alone, or pass the target alone and let scope detection resolve the base." This avoids scope/intent mismatches where the diff base comes from one source but the code and metadata come from another. + +**If a PR number or GitHub URL is provided as an argument:** + +If `mode:report-only` or `mode:headless` is active, do **not** run `gh pr checkout <number-or-url>` on the shared checkout. For `mode:report-only`, tell the caller: "mode:report-only cannot switch the shared checkout to review a PR target. Run it from an isolated worktree/checkout for that PR, or run report-only with no target argument on the already checked out branch." For `mode:headless`, emit `Review failed (headless mode). Reason: cannot switch shared checkout. Re-invoke with base:<ref> to review the current checkout, or run from an isolated worktree.` Stop here unless the review is already running in an isolated checkout. + +First, verify the worktree is clean before switching branches: + +``` +git status --porcelain +``` + +If the output is non-empty, inform the user: "You have uncommitted changes on the current branch. Stash or commit them before reviewing a PR, or use standalone mode (no argument) to review the current branch as-is." Do not proceed with checkout until the worktree is clean. + +Then check out the PR branch so persona agents can read the actual code (not the current checkout): + +``` +gh pr checkout <number-or-url> +``` + +Then fetch PR metadata. Capture the base branch name and the PR base repository identity, not just the branch name: + +``` +gh pr view <number-or-url> --json title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,url +``` + +Use the repository portion of the returned PR URL as `<base-repo>` (for example, `EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin` from `https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/pull/348`). + +Then compute a local diff against the PR's base branch so re-reviews also include local fix commits and uncommitted edits. Substitute the PR base branch from metadata (shown here as `<base>`) and the PR base repository identity derived from the PR URL (shown here as `<base-repo>`).

Fetch the base branch and rerun so the review scope stays aligned with the PR."; fi +``` + +Extract PR title/body, base branch, and PR URL from `gh pr view`, then extract the base marker, file list, diff content, and `UNTRACKED:` list from the local command. Do not use `gh pr diff` as the review scope after checkout -- it only reflects the remote PR state and will miss local fix commits until they are pushed. If the base ref still cannot be resolved from the PR's actual base repository after the fetch attempt, stop instead of falling back to `git diff HEAD`; a PR review without the PR base branch is incomplete. + +**If a branch name is provided as an argument:** + +Check out the named branch, then diff it against the base branch. Substitute the provided branch name (shown here as `<branch>`). + +If `mode:report-only` or `mode:headless` is active, do **not** run `git checkout <branch>` on the shared checkout.

Stash or commit them before reviewing another branch, or provide a PR number instead." Do not proceed with checkout until the worktree is clean. + +``` +git checkout <branch> +``` + +Then detect the review base branch and compute the merge-base. Run the `references/resolve-base.sh` script, which handles fork-safe remote resolution with multi-fallback detection (PR metadata -> `origin/HEAD` -> `gh repo view` -> common branch names): + +``` +RESOLVE_OUT=$(bash references/resolve-base.sh) || { echo "ERROR: resolve-base.sh failed"; exit 1; } +if [ -z "$RESOLVE_OUT" ] || echo "$RESOLVE_OUT" | grep -q '^ERROR:'; then echo "${RESOLVE_OUT:-ERROR: resolve-base.sh produced no output}"; exit 1; fi +BASE=$(echo "$RESOLVE_OUT" | sed 's/^BASE://') +``` + +If the script outputs an error, stop instead of falling back to `git diff HEAD`; a branch review without the base branch would only show uncommitted changes and silently miss all committed work. + +On success, produce the diff: + +``` +echo "BASE:$BASE" && echo "FILES:" && git diff --name-only $BASE && echo "DIFF:" && git diff -U10 $BASE && echo "UNTRACKED:" && git ls-files --others --exclude-standard +``` + +You may still fetch additional PR metadata with `gh pr view` for title, body, and linked issues, but do not fail if no PR exists. + +**If no argument (standalone on current branch):** + +Detect the review base branch and compute the merge-base using the same `references/resolve-base.sh` script as branch mode: + +``` +RESOLVE_OUT=$(bash references/resolve-base.sh) || { echo "ERROR: resolve-base.sh failed"; exit 1; } +if [ -z "$RESOLVE_OUT" ] || echo "$RESOLVE_OUT" | grep -q '^ERROR:'; then echo "${RESOLVE_OUT:-ERROR: resolve-base.sh produced no output}"; exit 1; fi +BASE=$(echo "$RESOLVE_OUT" | sed 's/^BASE://') +``` + +If the script outputs an error, stop instead of falling back to `git diff HEAD`; a standalone review without the base branch would only show uncommitted changes and silently miss all committed work on the branch. + +On success, produce the diff: + +``` +echo "BASE:$BASE" && echo "FILES:" && git diff --name-only $BASE && echo "DIFF:" && git diff -U10 $BASE && echo "UNTRACKED:" && git ls-files --others --exclude-standard +``` + +Using `git diff $BASE` (without `..HEAD`) diffs the merge-base against the working tree, which includes committed, staged, and unstaged changes together. + +**Untracked file handling:** Always inspect the `UNTRACKED:` list, even when `FILES:`/`DIFF:` are non-empty. Untracked files are outside review scope until staged. If the list is non-empty, tell the user which files are excluded. If any of them should be reviewed, stop and tell the user to `git add` them first and rerun. Only continue when the user is intentionally reviewing tracked changes only. In `mode:headless` or `mode:autofix`, do not stop to ask — proceed with tracked changes only and note the excluded untracked files in the Coverage section of the output. + +### Stage 2: Intent discovery + +Understand what the change is trying to accomplish. The source of intent depends on which Stage 1 path was taken: + +**PR/URL mode:** Use the PR title, body, and linked issues from `gh pr view` metadata. Supplement with commit messages from the PR if the body is sparse. + +**Branch mode:** Run `git log --oneline ${BASE}..<branch>` using the resolved merge-base from Stage 1. + +**Standalone (current branch):** Run: + +``` +echo "BRANCH:" && git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD && echo "COMMITS:" && git log --oneline ${BASE}..HEAD +``` + +Combined with conversation context (plan section summary, PR description), write a 2-3 line intent summary: + +``` +Intent: Simplify tax calculation by replacing the multi-tier rate lookup +with a flat-rate computation. Must not regress edge cases in tax-exempt handling. +``` + +Pass this to every reviewer in their spawn prompt. Intent shapes *how hard each reviewer looks*, not which reviewers are selected. + +**When intent is ambiguous:** + +- **Interactive mode:** Ask one question using the platform's interactive question tool (AskUserQuestion in Claude Code, request_user_input in Codex): "What is the primary goal of these changes?" Do not spawn reviewers until intent is established. +- **Autofix/report-only/headless modes:** Infer intent conservatively from the branch name, diff, PR metadata, and caller context. Note the uncertainty in Coverage or Verdict reasoning instead of blocking. + +### Stage 2b: Plan discovery (requirements verification) + +Locate the plan document so Stage 6 can verify requirements completeness. Check these sources in priority order — stop at the first hit: + +1. **`plan:` argument.** If the caller passed a plan path, use it directly. Read the file to confirm it exists. +2. **PR body.** If PR metadata was fetched in Stage 1, scan the body for paths matching `docs/plans/*.md`. If exactly one match is found and the file exists, use it as `plan_source: explicit`. If multiple plan paths appear, treat as ambiguous — demote to `plan_source: inferred` for the most recent match that exists on disk, or skip if none exist or none clearly relate to the PR title/intent. Always verify the selected file exists before using it — stale or copied plan links in PR descriptions are common. +3. **Auto-discover.** Extract 2-3 keywords from the branch name (e.g., `feat/onboarding-skill` -> `onboarding`, `skill`). Glob `docs/plans/*` and filter filenames containing those keywords. If exactly one match, use it. If multiple matches or the match looks ambiguous (e.g., generic keywords like `review`, `fix`, `update` that could hit many plans), **skip auto-discovery** — a wrong plan is worse than no plan. If zero matches, skip. + +**Confidence tagging:** Record how the plan was found: +- `plan:` argument -> `plan_source: explicit` (high confidence) +- Single unambiguous PR body match -> `plan_source: explicit` (high confidence) +- Multiple/ambiguous PR body matches -> `plan_source: inferred` (lower confidence) +- Auto-discover with single unambiguous match -> `plan_source: inferred` (lower confidence) + +If a plan is found, read its **Requirements Trace** (R1, R2, etc.) and **Implementation Units** (checkbox items). Store the extracted requirements list and `plan_source` for Stage 6. Do not block the review if no plan is found — requirements verification is additive, not required. + +### Stage 3: Select reviewers + +Read the diff and file list from Stage 1. The 4 always-on personas and 2 CE always-on agents are automatic. For each cross-cutting and stack-specific conditional persona in the persona catalog included below, decide whether the diff warrants it. This is agent judgment, not keyword matching. + +**File-type awareness for conditional selection:** Instruction-prose files (Markdown skill definitions, JSON schemas, config files) are product code but do not benefit from runtime-focused reviewers. The adversarial reviewer's techniques (race conditions, cascade failures, abuse cases) target executable code behavior. For diffs that only change instruction-prose files, skip adversarial unless the prose describes auth, payment, or data-mutation behavior. Count only executable code lines toward line-count thresholds. + +**`previous-comments` is PR-only.** Only select this persona when Stage 1 gathered PR metadata (PR number or URL was provided as an argument, or `gh pr view` returned metadata for the current branch). Skip it entirely for standalone branch reviews with no associated PR -- there are no prior comments to check. + +Stack-specific personas are additive. A Rails UI change may warrant `kieran-rails` plus `julik-frontend-races`; a TypeScript API diff may warrant `kieran-typescript` plus `api-contract` and `reliability`. + +For CE conditional agents, check if the diff includes files matching `db/migrate/*.rb`, `db/schema.rb`, or data backfill scripts. If the repo contains design documents (`docs/`, `docs/design/`, `docs/architecture/`, `docs/specs/`) or an active plan matching the current branch, select `design-conformance-reviewer`. If the PR URL contains `git.zoominfo.com`, select `zip-agent-validator`. + +Announce the team before spawning: + +``` +Review team: +- correctness (always) +- testing (always) +- maintainability (always) +- project-standards (always) +- agent-native-reviewer (always) +- learnings-researcher (always) +- security -- new endpoint in routes.rb accepts user-provided redirect URL +- kieran-rails -- controller and Turbo flow changed in app/controllers and app/views +- dhh-rails -- diff adds service objects around ordinary Rails CRUD +- data-migrations -- adds migration 20260303_add_index_to_orders +- schema-drift-detector -- migration files present +``` + +This is progress reporting, not a blocking confirmation. + +### Stage 3b: Discover project standards paths + +Before spawning sub-agents, find the file paths (not contents) of all relevant standards files for the `project-standards` persona. Use the native file-search/glob tool to locate: + +1. Use the native file-search tool (e.g., Glob in Claude Code) to find all `**/CLAUDE.md` and `**/AGENTS.md` in the repo. +2. Filter to those whose directory is an ancestor of at least one changed file. A standards file governs all files below it (e.g., `plugins/compound-engineering/AGENTS.md` applies to everything under `plugins/compound-engineering/`). + +Pass the resulting path list to the `project-standards` persona inside a `<standards-paths>` block in its review context (see Stage 4). The persona reads the files itself, targeting only the sections relevant to the changed file types. This keeps the orchestrator's work cheap (path discovery only) and avoids bloating the subagent prompt with content the reviewer may not fully need. + +### Stage 4: Spawn sub-agents + +#### Model tiering + +Persona sub-agents do focused, scoped work and should use a fast mid-tier model to reduce cost and latency without sacrificing review quality. The orchestrator itself stays on the default (most capable) model. + +Use the platform's mid-tier model for all persona and CE sub-agents. In Claude Code, pass `model: "sonnet"` in the Agent tool call. On other platforms, use the equivalent mid-tier (e.g., `gpt-4o` in Codex). If the platform has no model override mechanism or the available model names are unknown, omit the model parameter and let agents inherit the default -- a working review on the parent model is better than a broken dispatch from an unrecognized model name. + +CE always-on agents (agent-native-reviewer, learnings-researcher) and CE conditional agents (design-conformance-reviewer, schema-drift-detector, deployment-verification-agent, zip-agent-validator) also use the mid-tier model since they perform scoped, focused work. + +The orchestrator (this skill) stays on the default model because it handles intent discovery, reviewer selection, finding merge/dedup, and synthesis -- tasks that benefit from stronger reasoning. + +#### Run ID + +Generate a unique run identifier before dispatching any agents. This ID scopes all agent artifact files and the post-review run artifact to the same directory. + +```bash +RUN_ID=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)-$(head -c4 /dev/urandom | od -An -tx1 | tr -d ' ') +mkdir -p ".context/compound-engineering/ce-review/$RUN_ID" +``` + +Pass `{run_id}` to every persona sub-agent so they can write their full analysis to `.context/compound-engineering/ce-review/{run_id}/{reviewer_name}.json`. + +**Report-only mode:** Skip run-id generation and directory creation. Do not pass `{run_id}` to agents. Agents return compact JSON only with no file write, consistent with report-only's no-write contract. + +#### Spawning + +Omit the `mode` parameter when dispatching sub-agents so the user's configured permission settings apply. Do not pass `mode: "auto"`. + +Spawn each selected persona reviewer as a parallel sub-agent using the subagent template included below. Each persona sub-agent receives: + +1. Their persona file content (identity, failure modes, calibration, suppress conditions) +2. Shared diff-scope rules from the diff-scope reference included below +3. The JSON output contract from the findings schema included below +4. PR metadata: title, body, and URL when reviewing a PR (empty string otherwise). Passed in a `<pr-context>` block so reviewers can verify code against stated intent +5. Review context: intent summary, file list, diff +6. Run ID and reviewer name for the artifact file path +7. **For `project-standards` only:** the standards file path list from Stage 3b, wrapped in a `<standards-paths>` block appended to the review context + +Persona sub-agents are **read-only** with respect to the project: they review and return structured JSON. They do not edit project files or propose refactors. The one permitted write is saving their full analysis to the `.context/` artifact path specified in the output contract. + +Read-only here means **non-mutating**, not "no shell access." Reviewer sub-agents may use non-mutating inspection commands when needed to gather evidence or verify scope, including read-oriented `git` / `gh` usage such as `git diff`, `git show`, `git blame`, `git log`, and `gh pr view`. They must not edit project files, change branches, commit, push, create PRs, or otherwise mutate the checkout or repository state. + +Each persona sub-agent writes full JSON (all schema fields) to `.context/compound-engineering/ce-review/{run_id}/{reviewer_name}.json` and returns compact JSON with merge-tier fields only: + +```json +{ + "reviewer": "security", + "findings": [ + { + "title": "User-supplied ID in account lookup without ownership check", + "severity": "P0", + "file": "orders_controller.rb", + "line": 42, + "confidence": 0.92, + "autofix_class": "gated_auto", + "owner": "downstream-resolver", + "requires_verification": true, + "pre_existing": false, + "suggested_fix": "Add current_user.owns?(account) guard before lookup" + } + ], + "residual_risks": [...], + "testing_gaps": [...] +} +``` + +Detail-tier fields (`why_it_matters`, `evidence`) are in the artifact file only. `suggested_fix` is optional in both tiers -- included in compact returns when present so the orchestrator has fix context for auto-apply decisions. If the file write fails, the compact return still provides everything the merge needs. + +**CE always-on agents** (agent-native-reviewer, learnings-researcher) are dispatched as standard Agent calls in parallel with the persona agents. Give them the same review context bundle the personas receive: entry mode, any PR metadata gathered in Stage 1, intent summary, review base branch name when known, `BASE:` marker, file list, diff, and `UNTRACKED:` scope notes. Do not invoke them with a generic "review this" prompt. Their output is unstructured and synthesized separately in Stage 6. + +**CE conditional agents** (design-conformance-reviewer, schema-drift-detector, deployment-verification-agent, zip-agent-validator) are also dispatched as standard Agent calls when applicable. Pass the same review context bundle plus the applicability reason (for example, which migration files triggered the agent, which design docs were found, or that the PR URL matched `git.zoominfo.com`). For schema-drift-detector specifically, pass the resolved review base branch explicitly so it never assumes `main`. For zip-agent-validator, pass the full PR URL and the PR number so it can fetch comments from the GHE API. Their output is unstructured and must be preserved for Stage 6 synthesis just like the CE always-on agents. + +### Stage 5: Merge findings + +Convert multiple reviewer compact JSON returns into one deduplicated, confidence-gated finding set. The compact returns contain merge-tier fields (title, severity, file, line, confidence, autofix_class, owner, requires_verification, pre_existing) plus the optional suggested_fix. Detail-tier fields (why_it_matters, evidence) are on disk in the per-agent artifact files and are not loaded at this stage. + +1. **Validate.** Check each compact return for required top-level and per-finding fields, plus value constraints. Drop malformed returns or findings. Record the drop count. + - **Top-level required:** reviewer (string), findings (array), residual_risks (array), testing_gaps (array). Drop the entire return if any are missing or wrong type. + - **Per-finding required:** title, severity, file, line, confidence, autofix_class, owner, requires_verification, pre_existing + - **Value constraints:** + - severity: P0 | P1 | P2 | P3 + - autofix_class: safe_auto | gated_auto | manual | advisory + - owner: review-fixer | downstream-resolver | human | release + - confidence: numeric, 0.0-1.0 + - line: positive integer + - pre_existing, requires_verification: boolean + - Do not validate against the full schema here -- the full schema (including why_it_matters and evidence) applies to the artifact files on disk, not the compact returns. +2. **Confidence gate.** Suppress findings below 0.60 confidence. Exception: P0 findings at 0.50+ confidence survive the gate -- critical-but-uncertain issues must not be silently dropped. Record the suppressed count. This matches the persona instructions and the schema's confidence thresholds. +3. **Deduplicate.** Compute fingerprint: `normalize(file) + line_bucket(line, +/-3) + normalize(title)`. When fingerprints match, merge: keep highest severity, keep highest confidence, note which reviewers flagged it. +4. **Cross-reviewer agreement.** When 2+ independent reviewers flag the same issue (same fingerprint), boost the merged confidence by 0.10 (capped at 1.0). Cross-reviewer agreement is strong signal -- independent reviewers converging on the same issue is more reliable than any single reviewer's confidence. Note the agreement in the Reviewer column of the output (e.g., "security, correctness"). +5. **Separate pre-existing.** Pull out findings with `pre_existing: true` into a separate list. +6. **Resolve disagreements.** When reviewers flag the same code region but disagree on severity, autofix_class, or owner, annotate the Reviewer column with the disagreement (e.g., "security (P0), correctness (P1) -- kept P0"). This transparency helps the user understand why a finding was routed the way it was. +7. **Normalize routing.** For each merged finding, set the final `autofix_class`, `owner`, and `requires_verification`. If reviewers disagree, keep the most conservative route. Synthesis may narrow a finding from `safe_auto` to `gated_auto` or `manual`, but must not widen it without new evidence. +8. **Partition the work.** Build three sets: + - in-skill fixer queue: only `safe_auto -> review-fixer` + - residual actionable queue: unresolved `gated_auto` or `manual` findings whose owner is `downstream-resolver` + - report-only queue: `advisory` findings plus anything owned by `human` or `release` +9. **Sort.** Order by severity (P0 first) -> confidence (descending) -> file path -> line number. +10. **Collect coverage data.** Union residual_risks and testing_gaps across reviewers. +11. **Preserve CE agent artifacts.** Keep the learnings, agent-native, design-conformance, schema-drift, deployment-verification, and zip-agent-validator outputs alongside the merged finding set. Do not drop unstructured agent output just because it does not match the persona JSON schema. For zip-agent-validator specifically, its validated findings use the standard findings schema and enter the merge pipeline (steps 1-7) like persona findings. Its `residual_risks` entries (collapsed zip-agent comments) are preserved separately for the Zip Agent Validation section in Stage 6. + +### Stage 6: Synthesize and present + +Assemble the final report using **pipe-delimited markdown tables for findings** from the review output template included below. The table format is mandatory for finding rows in interactive mode — do not render findings as freeform text blocks or horizontal-rule-separated prose. Other report sections (Applied Fixes, Learnings, Coverage, etc.) use bullet lists and the `---` separator before the verdict, as shown in the template. + +1. **Header.** Scope, intent, mode, reviewer team with per-conditional justifications. +2. **Findings.** Rendered as pipe-delimited tables grouped by severity (`### P0 -- Critical`, `### P1 -- High`, `### P2 -- Moderate`, `### P3 -- Low`). Each finding row shows `#`, file, issue, reviewer(s), confidence, and synthesized route. Omit empty severity levels. Never render findings as freeform text blocks or numbered lists. +3. **Requirements Completeness.** Include only when a plan was found in Stage 2b. For each requirement (R1, R2, etc.) and implementation unit in the plan, report whether corresponding work appears in the diff. Use a simple checklist: met / not addressed / partially addressed. Routing depends on `plan_source`: + - **`explicit`** (caller-provided or PR body): Flag unaddressed requirements as P1 findings with `autofix_class: manual`, `owner: downstream-resolver`. These enter the residual actionable queue and can become todos. + - **`inferred`** (auto-discovered): Flag unaddressed requirements as P3 findings with `autofix_class: advisory`, `owner: human`. These stay in the report only — no todos, no autonomous follow-up. An inferred plan match is a hint, not a contract. + Omit this section entirely when no plan was found — do not mention the absence of a plan. +4. **Applied Fixes.** Include only if a fix phase ran in this invocation. +5. **Residual Actionable Work.** Include when unresolved actionable findings were handed off or should be handed off. +6. **Pre-existing.** Separate section, does not count toward verdict. +7. **Learnings & Past Solutions.** Surface learnings-researcher results: if past solutions are relevant, flag them as "Known Pattern" with links to docs/solutions/ files. +8. **Agent-Native Gaps.** Surface agent-native-reviewer results. Omit section if no gaps found. +9. **Schema Drift Check.** If schema-drift-detector ran, summarize whether drift was found. If drift exists, list the unrelated schema objects and the required cleanup command. If clean, say so briefly. +10. **Deployment Notes.** If deployment-verification-agent ran, surface the key Go/No-Go items: blocking pre-deploy checks, the most important verification queries, rollback caveats, and monitoring focus areas. Keep the checklist actionable rather than dropping it into Coverage. +11. **Zip Agent Validation.** If zip-agent-validator ran, summarize the results: how many zip-agent comments were evaluated, how many validated (these appear as findings in the severity-grouped tables above), and how many collapsed with reasons. This section provides traceability -- reviewers can see that zip-agent comments were evaluated, not ignored. +12. **Coverage.** Suppressed count, residual risks, testing gaps, failed/timed-out reviewers, and any intent uncertainty carried by non-interactive modes. +13. **Verdict.** Ready to merge / Ready with fixes / Not ready. Fix order if applicable. When an `explicit` plan has unaddressed requirements, the verdict must reflect it — a PR that's code-clean but missing planned requirements is "Not ready" unless the omission is intentional. When an `inferred` plan has unaddressed requirements, note it in the verdict reasoning but do not block on it alone. + +Do not include time estimates. + +**Format verification:** Before delivering the report, verify the findings sections use pipe-delimited table rows (`| # | File | Issue | ... |`) not freeform text. If you catch yourself rendering findings as prose blocks separated by horizontal rules or bullet points, stop and reformat into tables. + +### Headless output format + +In `mode:headless`, replace the interactive pipe-delimited table report with a structured text envelope. The envelope follows the same structural pattern as document-review's headless output (completion header, metadata block, findings grouped by autofix_class, trailing sections) while using ce:review's own section headings and per-finding fields. + +``` +Code review complete (headless mode). + +Scope: <scope-line> +Intent: <intent-summary> +Reviewers: <reviewer-list with conditional justifications> +Verdict: <Ready to merge | Ready with fixes | Not ready> +Artifact: .context/compound-engineering/ce-review/<run-id>/ + +Applied N safe_auto fixes. + +Gated-auto findings (concrete fix, changes behavior/contracts): + +[P1][gated_auto -> downstream-resolver][needs-verification] File: <file:line> -- <title> (<reviewer>, confidence <N>) + Why: <why_it_matters> + Suggested fix: <suggested_fix or "none"> + Evidence: <evidence[0]> + Evidence: <evidence[1]> + +Manual findings (actionable, needs handoff): + +[P1][manual -> downstream-resolver] File: <file:line> -- <title> (<reviewer>, confidence <N>) + Why: <why_it_matters> + Evidence: <evidence[0]> + +Advisory findings (report-only): + +[P2][advisory -> human] File: <file:line> -- <title> (<reviewer>, confidence <N>) + Why: <why_it_matters> + +Pre-existing issues: +[P2][gated_auto -> downstream-resolver] File: <file:line> -- <title> (<reviewer>, confidence <N>) + Why: <why_it_matters> + +Residual risks: +- <risk> + +Learnings & Past Solutions: +- <learning> + +Agent-Native Gaps: +- <gap description> + +Schema Drift Check: +- <drift status> + +Deployment Notes: +- <deployment note> + +Testing gaps: +- <gap> + +Coverage: +- Suppressed: <N> findings below 0.60 confidence (P0 at 0.50+ retained) +- Untracked files excluded: <file1>, <file2> +- Failed reviewers: <reviewer> + +Review complete +``` + +**Detail enrichment (headless only):** The headless envelope includes `Why:`, `Evidence:`, and `Suggested fix:` lines. After merge (Stage 5), read the per-agent artifact files from `.context/compound-engineering/ce-review/{run_id}/` for only the findings that survived dedup and confidence gating. + - **Field tiers:** `Why:` and `Evidence:` are detail-tier -- load from per-agent artifact files. `Suggested fix:` is merge-tier -- use it directly from the compact return without artifact lookup. + - **Artifact matching:** For each surviving finding, look up its detail-tier fields in the artifact files of the contributing reviewers. Match on `file + line_bucket(line, +/-3)` (the same tolerance used in Stage 5 dedup) within each contributing reviewer's artifact. When multiple artifact entries fall within the line bucket, apply `normalize(title)` to both the merged finding's title and each candidate entry's title as a tie-breaker. + - **Reviewer order:** Try contributing reviewers in the order they appear in the merged finding's reviewer list; use the first match. + - **No-match fallback:** If no artifact file contains a match (all writes failed, or the finding was synthesized during merge), omit the `Why:` and `Evidence:` lines for that finding and note the gap in Coverage. The `Suggested fix:` line can still be populated from the compact return since it is merge-tier. + +**Formatting rules:** +- The `[needs-verification]` marker appears only on findings where `requires_verification: true`. +- The `Artifact:` line gives callers the path to the full run artifact for machine-readable access to the complete findings schema. The text envelope is the primary handoff; the artifact is for debugging and full-fidelity access. +- Findings with `owner: release` appear in the Advisory section (they are operational/rollout items, not code fixes). +- Findings with `pre_existing: true` appear in the Pre-existing section regardless of autofix_class. +- The Verdict appears in the metadata header (deliberately reordered from the interactive format where it appears at the bottom) so programmatic callers get the verdict first. +- Omit any section with zero items. +- If all reviewers fail or time out, emit `Code review degraded (headless mode). Reason: 0 of N reviewers returned results.` followed by "Review complete". +- End with "Review complete" as the terminal signal so callers can detect completion. + +## Quality Gates + +Before delivering the review, verify: + +1. **Every finding is actionable.** Re-read each finding. If it says "consider", "might want to", or "could be improved" without a concrete fix, rewrite it with a specific action. Vague findings waste engineering time. +2. **No false positives from skimming.** For each finding, verify the surrounding code was actually read. Check that the "bug" isn't handled elsewhere in the same function, that the "unused import" isn't used in a type annotation, that the "missing null check" isn't guarded by the caller. +3. **Severity is calibrated.** A style nit is never P0. A SQL injection is never P3. Re-check every severity assignment. +4. **Line numbers are accurate.** Verify each cited line number against the file content. A finding pointing to the wrong line is worse than no finding. +5. **Protected artifacts are respected.** Discard any findings that recommend deleting or gitignoring files in `docs/brainstorms/`, `docs/plans/`, or `docs/solutions/`. +6. **Findings don't duplicate linter output.** Don't flag things the project's linter/formatter would catch (missing semicolons, wrong indentation). Focus on semantic issues. + +## Language-Aware Conditionals + +This skill uses stack-specific reviewer agents when the diff clearly warrants them. Keep those agents opinionated. They are not generic language checkers; they add a distinct review lens on top of the always-on and cross-cutting personas. + +Do not spawn them mechanically from file extensions alone. The trigger is meaningful changed behavior, architecture, or UI state in that stack. + +## After Review + +### Mode-Driven Post-Review Flow + +After presenting findings and verdict (Stage 6), route the next steps by mode. Review and synthesis stay the same in every mode; only mutation and handoff behavior changes. + +#### Step 1: Build the action sets + +- **Clean review** means zero findings after suppression and pre-existing separation. Skip the fix/handoff phase when the review is clean. +- **Fixer queue:** final findings routed to `safe_auto -> review-fixer`. +- **Residual actionable queue:** unresolved `gated_auto` or `manual` findings whose final owner is `downstream-resolver`. +- **Report-only queue:** `advisory` findings and any outputs owned by `human` or `release`. +- **Never convert advisory-only outputs into fix work or todos.** Deployment notes, residual risks, and release-owned items stay in the report. + +#### Step 2: Choose policy by mode + +**Interactive mode** + +- Apply `safe_auto -> review-fixer` findings automatically without asking. These are safe by definition. +- Ask a policy question **using the platform's blocking question tool** (`AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code, `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini) only when `gated_auto` or `manual` findings remain after safe fixes. Do not replace with a conversational open-ended question. Adapt the options to match what actually remains: + + **When `gated_auto` findings are present** (with or without `manual`): + ``` + Safe fixes have been applied. What should I do with the remaining findings? + 1. Review and approve specific gated fixes (Recommended) + 2. Leave as residual work + 3. Report only -- no further action + ``` + + **When only `manual` findings remain** (no `gated_auto`): + ``` + Safe fixes have been applied. The remaining findings need manual resolution. What should I do? + 1. Leave as residual work (Recommended) + 2. Report only -- no further action + ``` + + If no blocking question tool is available, present the applicable numbered options as text and wait for the user's selection before proceeding. +- If no `gated_auto` or `manual` findings remain after safe fixes, skip the policy question entirely — report what was fixed and proceed to next steps. +- Only include `gated_auto` findings in the fixer queue after the user explicitly approves the specific items. Do not widen the queue based on severity alone. + +**Autofix mode** + +- Ask no questions. +- Apply only the `safe_auto -> review-fixer` queue. +- Leave `gated_auto`, `manual`, `human`, and `release` items unresolved. +- Prepare residual work only for unresolved actionable findings whose final owner is `downstream-resolver`. + +**Report-only mode** + +- Ask no questions. +- Do not build a fixer queue. +- Do not create residual todos or `.context` artifacts. +- Stop after Stage 6. Everything remains in the report. + +**Headless mode** + +- Ask no questions. +- Apply only the `safe_auto -> review-fixer` queue in a single pass. Do not enter the bounded re-review loop (Step 3). Spawn one fixer subagent, apply fixes, then proceed directly to Step 4. +- Leave `gated_auto`, `manual`, `human`, and `release` items unresolved — they appear in the structured text output. +- Output the headless output envelope (see Stage 6) instead of the interactive report. +- Write a run artifact (Step 4) but do not create todo files. +- Stop after the structured text output and "Review complete" signal. No commit/push/PR. + +#### Step 3: Apply fixes with one fixer and bounded rounds + +- Spawn exactly one fixer subagent for the current fixer queue in the current checkout. That fixer applies all approved changes and runs the relevant targeted tests in one pass against a consistent tree. +- Do not fan out multiple fixers against the same checkout. Parallel fixers require isolated worktrees/branches and deliberate mergeback. +- Re-review only the changed scope after fixes land. +- Bound the loop with `max_rounds: 2`. If issues remain after the second round, stop and hand them off as residual work or report them as unresolved. +- If any applied finding has `requires_verification: true`, the round is incomplete until the targeted verification runs. +- Do not start a mutating review round concurrently with browser testing on the same checkout. Future orchestrators that want both must either run `mode:report-only` during the parallel phase or isolate the mutating review in its own checkout/worktree. + +#### Step 4: Emit artifacts and downstream handoff + +- In interactive, autofix, and headless modes, write a per-run artifact under `.context/compound-engineering/ce-review/<run-id>/` containing: + - synthesized findings (merged output from Stage 5) + - applied fixes + - residual actionable work + - advisory-only outputs + Per-agent full-detail JSON files (`{reviewer_name}.json`) are already present in this directory from Stage 4 dispatch. +- Also write `metadata.json` alongside the findings so downstream skills (e.g., `ce:polish-beta`) can verify the artifact matches the current branch and HEAD. Minimum fields: + ```json + { + "run_id": "<run-id>", + "branch": "<git branch --show-current at dispatch time>", + "head_sha": "<git rev-parse HEAD at dispatch time>", + "verdict": "<Ready to merge | Ready with fixes | Not ready>", + "completed_at": "<ISO 8601 UTC timestamp>" + } + ``` + Capture `branch` and `head_sha` at dispatch time (before any autofixes land), and write the file after the verdict is finalized. This file is additive -- pre-existing artifacts that predate this field are still valid, and downstream skills fall back to file mtime when it is missing. +- In autofix mode, create durable todo files only for unresolved actionable findings whose final owner is `downstream-resolver`. Load the `todo-create` skill for the canonical directory path, naming convention, YAML frontmatter structure, and template. Each todo should map the finding's severity to the todo priority (`P0`/`P1` -> `p1`, `P2` -> `p2`, `P3` -> `p3`) and set `status: ready` since these findings have already been triaged by synthesis. +- Do not create todos for `advisory` findings, `owner: human`, `owner: release`, or protected-artifact cleanup suggestions. +- If only advisory outputs remain, create no todos. +- Interactive mode may offer to externalize residual actionable work after fixes, but it is not required to finish the review. + +#### Step 5: Final next steps + +**Interactive mode only:** after the fix-review cycle completes (clean verdict or the user chose to stop), offer next steps based on the entry mode. Reuse the resolved review base/default branch from Stage 1 when known; do not hard-code only `main`/`master`. + +- **PR mode (entered via PR number/URL):** + - **Push fixes** -- push commits to the existing PR branch + - **Exit** -- done for now +- **Branch mode (feature branch with no PR, and not the resolved review base/default branch):** + - **Create a PR (Recommended)** -- push and open a pull request + - **Continue without PR** -- stay on the branch + - **Exit** -- done for now +- **On the resolved review base/default branch:** + - **Continue** -- proceed with next steps + - **Exit** -- done for now + +If "Create a PR": first publish the branch with `git push --set-upstream origin HEAD`, then use `gh pr create` with a title and summary derived from the branch changes. +If "Push fixes": push the branch with `git push` to update the existing PR. + +**Autofix, report-only, and headless modes:** stop after the report, artifact emission, and residual-work handoff.

The HTML page loads the Excalidraw library from esm.sh (library code only, not user data) +4. Calls `exportToBlob` on the local diagram data +5. Extracts the base64 PNG and writes it to disk +6. Cleans up temp files and exits + +The script prints the output path on success. Verify the result with `file <output.png>`. + +### Step 5.5: Validate and Iterate + +Run the validation script on the `.excalidraw` file to catch spatial issues: + +```bash +node <skill-path>/scripts/validate.mjs docs/images/my-diagram.excalidraw +``` + +Then read the exported PNG back using the Read tool to visually inspect: + +1. All label text fits within its container (no overflow/clipping) +2. No arrows cross over text labels +3. Spacing between elements is consistent +4. Legend and titles are properly positioned + +If the validation script or visual inspection reveals issues: +1. Identify the specific elements that need adjustment +2. Edit the `.excalidraw` file (adjust coordinates, box sizes, or arrow waypoints) +3. Re-run the export script (Step 5) +4. Re-validate + +### Step 6: Deliver the Result + +Read the PNG file to display it to the user. Provide the file path so the user can access it directly. + +## Troubleshooting + +**Setup fails**: Verify Node.js v18+ is installed (`node --version`). Ensure npm has network access for the initial Playwright/Chromium download. + +**Export times out**: The HTML page has a 30-second timeout. If it fails, check browser console output in the script's error messages. Common cause: esm.sh CDN is temporarily slow on first load. + +**Blank PNG**: Ensure elements include all required properties (see Step 4 defaults). Missing `seed`, `version`, or `fontFamily` on text elements can cause silent render failures. + +**"READY" never fires**: The `exportToBlob` call requires valid elements. Filter out `cameraUpdate` and other pseudo-elements before writing the `.excalidraw` file. diff --git a/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/excalidraw-png-export/references/excalidraw-element-format.md b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/excalidraw-png-export/references/excalidraw-element-format.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cd5e7dc --- /dev/null +++ b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/excalidraw-png-export/references/excalidraw-element-format.md @@ -0,0 +1,149 @@ +# Excalidraw Element Format Reference + +This reference documents the element JSON format accepted by the Excalidraw MCP `create_view` tool and the `export_png.mjs` script. + +## Color Palette + +### Primary Colors +| Name | Hex | Use | +|------|-----|-----| +| Blue | `#4a9eed` | Primary actions, links | +| Amber | `#f59e0b` | Warnings, highlights | +| Green | `#22c55e` | Success, positive | +| Red | `#ef4444` | Errors, negative | +| Purple | `#8b5cf6` | Accents, special | +| Pink | `#ec4899` | Decorative | +| Cyan | `#06b6d4` | Info, secondary | + +### Fill Colors (pastel, for shape backgrounds) +| Color | Hex | Good For | +|-------|-----|----------| +| Light Blue | `#a5d8ff` | Input, sources, primary | +| Light Green | `#b2f2bb` | Success, output | +| Light Orange | `#ffd8a8` | Warning, pending | +| Light Purple | `#d0bfff` | Processing, middleware | +| Light Red | `#ffc9c9` | Error, critical | +| Light Yellow | `#fff3bf` | Notes, decisions | +| Light Teal | `#c3fae8` | Storage, data | + +## Element Types + +### Required Fields (all elements) +`type`, `id` (unique string), `x`, `y`, `width`, `height` + +### Defaults (skip these) +strokeColor="#1e1e1e", backgroundColor="transparent", fillStyle="solid", strokeWidth=2, roughness=1, opacity=100 + +### Shapes + +**Rectangle**: `{ "type": "rectangle", "id": "r1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 100 }` +- `roundness: { type: 3 }` for rounded corners +- `backgroundColor: "#a5d8ff"`, `fillStyle: "solid"` for filled + +**Ellipse**: `{ "type": "ellipse", "id": "e1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 150, "height": 150 }` + +**Diamond**: `{ "type": "diamond", "id": "d1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 150, "height": 150 }` + +### Labels + +**Labeled shape (preferred)**: Add `label` to any shape for auto-centered text. +```json +{ "type": "rectangle", "id": "r1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 80, "label": { "text": "Hello", "fontSize": 20 } } +``` + +**Standalone text** (titles, annotations only): +```json +{ "type": "text", "id": "t1", "x": 150, "y": 138, "text": "Hello", "fontSize": 20 } +``` + +### Arrows + +```json +{ "type": "arrow", "id": "a1", "x": 300, "y": 150, "width": 200, "height": 0, "points": [[0,0],[200,0]], "endArrowhead": "arrow" } +``` + +**Bindings** connect arrows to shapes: +```json +"startBinding": { "elementId": "r1", "fixedPoint": [1, 0.5] } +``` +fixedPoint: top=[0.5,0], bottom=[0.5,1], left=[0,0.5], right=[1,0.5] + +**Labeled arrow**: `"label": { "text": "connects" }` + +### Camera (MCP only, not exported to PNG) + +```json +{ "type": "cameraUpdate", "width": 800, "height": 600, "x": 0, "y": 0 } +``` + +Camera sizes must be 4:3 ratio.

They are the non-negotiable foundation of John's voice. + +## Voice in One Line + +Plainspoken but precise. Funny but never jokey. Direct but warm. Curious but not credulous. Committed but not preachy. + +## Philosophy + +John writes to be understood, not to impress. He believes complexity in writing is a failure of the writer, not a sign of intelligence. He actively resists language that props up ego or obscures meaning. He'd rather sound like a person talking at a dinner table than a thought leader publishing a manifesto. + +From his own notes: "Good communication does not correlate with intelligence and effective communication doesn't need to be complex. Seek clear, effective communication so you don't convince yourself or others of untrue things." + +**Strong opinions, loosely held.** John commits to his views rather than hedging. He doesn't perform balance by spending equal time on the other side. He states his position clearly and trusts the reader to push back if they disagree. The conclusion is real and strong — it's just not presented as the final word on the universe. + +**Peer-to-peer, not expert-to-novice.** John writes as a fellow traveler sharing what he figured out, not as a master instructing students. The posture is: "I worked this out, maybe it's useful to you." He never claims authority he doesn't have. + +**Say something real.** This is the principle that separates John's writing from most professional and AI-generated writing. Every claim, every observation, every phrase must have something concrete underneath it. If you drill into a sentence and there's nothing there — just the sensation of insight without the substance — it's wrong. + +The tell is vagueness. Abstract nouns doing the work of real ideas ("value," "alignment," "conviction," "transformation") are fog machines. They create the feeling of saying something without the risk of saying anything specific enough to be wrong. John takes that risk. He says what he actually means, in plain language, and accepts that a skeptical reader might disagree with him. + +This doesn't mean every sentence is a logical argument. A specific observation, a concrete image, a well-chosen detail — these are bulletproof without being argumentative. The test is: if someone asked "what do you mean by that, exactly?" could you answer without retreating to abstraction? If yes, the sentence earns its place. + +## Sentence Structure + +**Mix short and long.** John's rhythm comes from alternating between longer explanatory sentences and abrupt short ones that land like punctuation marks. + +Patterns he uses constantly: +- A longer sentence setting up context → a short punchy follow-up +- "Not quite." +- "This is a problem." +- "Let me explain." +- "That's not the conclusion." +- "Obviously not." + +Example from his writing: "After vicariously touring catacombs, abandoned mines, and spaces so confined they make even the reader squirm. In the final chapter you visit a tomb for radioactive waste, the spent fuel cells of nuclear reactors. It feels like the final nail in the coffin, everything down here is also gloomy." → Then later: "But that's not the conclusion." + +**Avoid compound-complex sentences.** John rarely chains multiple clauses with semicolons. When a sentence gets long, it's because he's painting a scene, not because he's nesting logic. + +**Never use em-dashes. This is a hard rule.** + +Em-dashes (—) are the single most reliable tell that a piece of writing was produced by AI, not by John. He almost never uses them. A piece that contains em-dashes does not sound like John wrote it. + +John does use asides frequently — but he uses **parentheses**, not em-dashes. Parenthetical asides are a signature move of his voice (they reward close readers and often carry his best jokes). When you are tempted to use an em-dash, use parentheses instead. If the aside doesn't warrant parentheses, break the sentence in two. + +The em-dash is not a stylistic flourish. It is an alarm bell. If it appears in output, rewrite before finishing. + +## Vocabulary + +**Use everyday words.** John uses the vocabulary of someone talking, not writing an academic paper. + +Words John actually uses: "heck of a lot", "kinda", "I dunno", "plug-and-play", "insufferable", "awesome", "cool", "crazy", "nuts", "the real thing", "turns out", "chances are", "let's be honest" + +Words John would never use: "leverage" (as a verb outside of technical contexts), "synergy", "utilize", "facilitate", "aforementioned" (in casual writing), "plethora", "myriad" (as adjective), "delve", "tapestry", "multifaceted", "nuanced" (as filler), "paradigm", "robust" (outside of engineering) + +**Technical terms get explained.** When John introduces a term like "NPCs" or "conversation tree" or "thermal efficiency", he immediately explains it in plain language. He assumes the reader is smart but unfamiliar. + +## Rhetorical Questions + +John leans heavily on rhetorical questions. They're his primary tool for advancing arguments and creating reader engagement. + +Examples: "Does owning an EV keep you from embarking on long road trips?" / "What is a good tool but one that accomplishes its mission and makes us feel good while using it?" / "What makes a city beautiful?" / "Could I have done that if I had pulled straight into a parking spot?" + +Use rhetorical questions to transition between ideas, not as filler. + +## Analogies from the Mundane + +John's signature move is taking something completely ordinary — parking lots, road trips, video games, cooking dinner — and extracting a surprising insight from it. He doesn't reach for grand metaphors. The analogy is always grounded in lived experience. + +Example: He turns "backing into a parking spot" into a lesson about positioning and preparing your future self for success. + +## Humor — The Defining Feature + +This is the most important section. John's best writing is **kinetic, witty, and tongue-in-cheek**. When he's in full voice, the writing moves like water — each sentence pulls toward the next, the ideas spill out fully formed, and there's a joyful lightness to it. It doesn't take itself too seriously. + +The humor is not a garnish. It is the texture of the voice itself. It shows up as: + +- **Implied sarcasm** — the wit is in what's left unsaid or understated, never telegraphed +- **Deadpan absurdity** — stating something ridiculous as though it's obvious: "If, for instance, the eyes were placed in the back of their heads, they would be experts at driving in reverse" +- **Self-deprecating asides**: "I dunno if I'm any good as a cook but I'm still friends with all of my guests so the recipes must be doing the heavy lifting" +- **Parenthetical commentary that rewards attention**: "(dodged the extraterrestrial lifeforms)", "(I always tell guests to remove their shoes when they enter, otherwise, the sock-removing finale doesn't have the same effect)" +- **Whimsical understatement**: "I'm always wary of those adrenaline junkies who try to set land speed records in parking lots" + +**Never use puns. Never use setup/punchline jokes.** The humor is woven into the motion of the prose, not bolted on. If a sentence could be lifted out and labeled "the joke," it's wrong. The wit should only land when the reader is already moving forward. + +## Warmth as Deliberate Compensation + +John is naturally direct and, by his own admission, somewhat prickly. He compensates deliberately in writing by adding warmth — not as performance, but as a counterbalance to his default edge. This means: + +- Softening critical language consciously +- Approaching disagreement from a position of shared purpose, not opposition +- The tone should feel like someone who is honest with you because they're on your side, not because they want to win + +This warmth is a choice, not a personality trait. It should be present but not saccharine. If the writing feels warm in the way a corporate "we value your feedback" email is warm, that's wrong. It should feel warm the way a direct friend is warm. + +## The Compositional Voice + +The single hardest thing to replicate about John's voice is **how his ideas connect**, not how his sentences are constructed. AI writing that sounds like John sentence-by-sentence but not paragraph-by-paragraph has failed. + +What makes the connections work: +- Each sentence creates a small forward pull toward the next — the reader is always in mild anticipation +- Ideas build on each other rather than sitting side by side +- Transitions feel inevitable, not inserted +- The argument follows his curiosity, not a pre-planned structure + +When writing in John's voice, do not assemble a collection of John-sounding sentences. Follow the thread of the thought. If you can't feel the momentum building as you write, the voice isn't there yet. + +## Honesty and Disclaimers + +John is transparent about his biases and limitations. He frequently declares them upfront. + +Examples: "Let me disclose my bias upfront, I'm a car enthusiast." / "Full disclaimer, this recipe killed my Vitamix (until I resurrected it). It was certainly my fault." / "I'll be honest, it's totally unnecessary here." + +## First Person, Active Voice + +John writes in first person almost exclusively. He uses "I" freely and without apology. Passive voice is rare and only appears when he's describing historical events. + +He addresses the reader directly: "You'd be forgiven for thinking...", "You can see if there are any other cars near the spot", "Don't overthink it!" + +## Diagrams Over Walls of Text + +John believes a good diagram communicates faster and more clearly than paragraphs of explanation. When a concept involves relationships between components, flows, or architecture, default to including a diagram. A three-box flowchart with labeled arrows will land in seconds where three paragraphs of prose might lose the reader. + +When the `excalidraw-png-export` skill is available, use it to generate hand-drawn style diagrams and export them as PNG files. This applies to technical explanations, architecture overviews, process flows, and anywhere a visual would reduce the reader's cognitive load. If the output is going somewhere that supports images (docs, PRs, Slack threads, emails), a diagram should be the first instinct, not an afterthought. + +## Structure + +John's writing follows a consistent arc: +1. **Hook** — A concrete story, observation, or scenario (never an abstract thesis) +2. **Context** — Background the reader needs, delivered conversationally +3. **Core argument** — The insight, always grounded in the concrete example +4. **Evidence/exploration** — More examples, data, or personal experience (diagrams where visual clarity helps) +5. **Gentle landing** — A question, invitation, or understated conclusion (never a lecture) + +He almost never ends with a declarative thesis statement. He prefers to leave the reader with a question or a quiet observation. + +## What to Avoid — The Anti-John + +The following patterns are the opposite of John's voice. If any of these appear in the output, rewrite immediately: + +- **Corporate speak**: "In order to drive alignment across stakeholders..." +- **AI-default prose**: "In today's rapidly evolving landscape...", "Let's dive in!", "Here's the thing..." +- **Filler intensifiers**: "incredibly", "absolutely", "extremely" (unless used for genuine emphasis) +- **Throat-clearing**: "It's worth noting that...", "It goes without saying...", "Needless to say..." +- **Performative intelligence**: Using complex vocabulary where simple words work +- **Lecturing tone**: Telling the reader what to think rather than showing them and letting them arrive there +- **Emoji overuse**: John uses emoji sparingly and only in very casual contexts +- **Em-dashes**: Never. This is the #1 AI writing tell. Use parentheses for asides. Use a period to end the sentence. Never use —. +- **Exclamation points**: Rare. One per piece maximum in prose. More acceptable in Slack. +- **Buzzwords**: "game-changer", "cutting-edge", "innovative" (without substance), "holistic" +- **Vague claims masquerading as insight**: Sentences that sound like they mean something but dissolve under examination. "There's a real tension here between X and Y." "This gets at something fundamental about how we work." "The implications are significant." None of these say anything. Replace them with what the tension actually is, what the fundamental thing actually is, what the implications actually are. +- **Abstract nouns as load-bearing walls**: "value," "conviction," "alignment," "impact," "transformation" — when these words are doing the primary work of a sentence, the sentence is hollow. John uses them only when they follow a concrete explanation, never as a substitute for one. +- **Hedged non-claims**: "In some ways, this raises interesting questions about..." is not a sentence. It is a placeholder for a sentence.

He writes like someone who revised their dinner party story a few times to make it land better. + +He uses contractions freely: "it's", "don't", "can't", "I'm", "they're". Avoiding contractions would sound stiff and unlike him. + +**The kinetic quality.** John's best prose moves. Each sentence creates a small pull toward the next. When it's working, the writing feels light and fast — tongue-in-cheek, a little playful, not labored. If the prose feels like it's trudging from one point to the next, it's not his voice. Aim for momentum. + +## Humor in Prose + +Humor appears as texture, never as the point. It's woven into observations and parentheticals. + +Examples of his humor style in essays: +- "Running out of juice in Texas may mean Wile E Coyote is the closest help." +- "Sitting in the parking garage wasn't as much fun as sitting at the concert." +- "It's like the parking lot designers were only told they had to get the cars into the parking lot and were never told they would need to get them out of it." +- "It takes eight hours just to leave Texas watching ranches and wind turbines go by." + +## Closing + +John lands gently. His conclusions tend to: +- Ask a question: "Where else might we choose to do the hard work now so we're better positioned for the future?" +- Offer a quiet invitation: "Now go cook some excellent food and make some friends doing it because it's too good to keep to yourself." +- Circle back to the personal: "It's hoping we can find the cause of the toxic algae bloom in Lady Bird Lake, find a non-destructive solution, and feeling safe taking Bear to her favorite place again." + +He never: +- Restates the thesis in summary form +- Uses "In conclusion" or "To sum up" +- Ends with a grand declaration or call to arms + +## Audience + +John writes for an adequately educated generalist — someone with common sense, a curious mind, and no specialized background required. The reference point is a show like Derek Thompson's Plain English: smart, accessible, treats the reader as a thinking adult. + +The posture is peer-to-peer. John is a fellow traveler sharing what he figured out, not an expert teaching a course. "I worked this out and wrote it down. Maybe it's the next building block for someone else turning over the same ideas." + +## Subject Matter + +John gravitates toward essays that take a mundane observation and extract an unexpected insight. His favorite subjects: cars and driving, food and cooking, travel, technology's relationship with humanity, video games as learning tools, urban design, nature and environment. When writing on his behalf, lean into these interests and this pattern of mundane-to-meaningful. + +## Quoting and References + +John cites sources conversationally. He names books, authors, and people naturally rather than using footnotes or formal citations. + +Example: "While reading Entangled Life, a book all about fungi, I recently learned about the 'wood wide web'." + +Not: "According to Sheldrake (2020), fungal networks form a 'wood wide web' beneath forest floors." diff --git a/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/john-voice/references/revision-checklist.md b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/john-voice/references/revision-checklist.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3b581e8 --- /dev/null +++ b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/john-voice/references/revision-checklist.md @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +# Revision Checklist + +Run before finishing any piece.

Link matched pairs. +2. **Identify orphan PRs** — PRs with no Jira ticket. These represent real work that slipped through ticketing. Include them. +3. **Filter out empty tickets** — Jira tickets moved to Done with no corresponding PR and no evidence of work (no comments, no linked PRs). Exclude silently — these were likely backlog grooming moves, not shipped work. +4. **Verify merge times** — Confirm merged PRs fall within the actual window. GitHub search by date can be slightly off. + +### Step 4: Group by Theme + +Review all shipped items and cluster into 3-6 logical groups based on feature area. Examples of past groupings: + +- **Outreach System** — email, templates, response tracking +- **Candidate Experience** — UI, cards, review flow +- **Search & Pipeline** — agentic search, batch generation, ranking +- **Dev Ops** — infrastructure, staging, deployments, CI +- **ATS Platform** — data model, architecture, platform decisions +- **Developer Tooling** — internal tools, automation + +Adapt groups to whatever was actually shipped. Do not force-fit. If something doesn't fit a group, let it stand alone. + +**Skip these unless the week is light on real content:** +- Dependency updates, version bumps +- Code cleanup, refactoring with no user-facing impact +- Test additions +- Linter/formatter config changes +- Minor bug fixes + +### Step 5: Draft the Summary + +**Title**: `Agentic Sourcing App Weekly Highlights {Mon} {Day}{ordinal}` + +**Critical rules — read these before writing:** + +1. **UNDERSTATE, never overstate.** Senior leaders read this. Getting caught overstating kills credibility. If the work is foundational, say "foundations." If it's on mock data, say "mock data." If it's not wired end-to-end, say so. +2. **Non-technical language.** The reader is a VP, not an engineer. "Database schema added" → "Tracking infrastructure set up." "Refactored query layer" → skip it or say "Search speed improvements." +3. **Qualify incomplete work honestly.** Qualifications aren't caveats — they're what makes the update credible. "Hasn't been tested end-to-end yet, but the pieces are connected" is stronger than pretending it's done. Always note gaps, blockers, and what's next. +4. **Say why, not just what.** Every bullet should connect what shipped to why it matters. Not "Nightly batch generation running in staging" — instead "Nightly batch generation is running in staging. The goal is recruiters waking up to fresh candidates every morning without doing anything." If you can't explain why a reader should care, reconsider including it. +5. **No laundry lists.** Each bullet should read like a short explanation, not a changelog entry. If a section has more than 3-4 bullets, you're listing features, not telling someone what happened. Merge related items. Bad: `"Contact actions MVP: compose email and copy phone directly from cards. Project metadata row in header. Outreach template MVP with search state polish."` Good: `"Cards are starting to feel like a real tool. Recruiters can send an email or grab a phone number without leaving the card, see previous roles, career trajectory, and AI scores inline."` +6. **Give credit.** Call out individuals with @first.last when they knocked something out of the park. Don't spray kudos everywhere — be selective and genuine. +7. **Be skimmable.** Each group gets a bold header + 2-4 bullet points max. Each bullet is 1-3 lines. The whole message should take 60 seconds to read. +8. **No corporate speak.** No "leveraging", "enhancing", "streamlining", "driving", "aligning", "meaningfully", "building block." Write like you're explaining what happened to someone you respect. +9. **Link tickets and PRs where they add value.** Inline link tickets where a reader might want to click through for detail: `[ZAS-123](https://discoverorg.atlassian.net/browse/ZAS-123)`. Link PRs when they represent significant standalone work. Don't link every single one — just where it helps. +10. **This is a first draft, not the final product.** Optimize for editability. Get the structure, facts, and links right. Keep the voice close. The human will sharpen it before sharing. + +**Format:** + +``` +Agentic Sourcing App Weekly Highlights {date} + +**{Group Name}** {optional — short color commentary or kudos} + +- {Item} — {what shipped, why it matters, any qualifications} +- {Item} — {context} + +**{Group Name}** + +- {Item} +- {Item} + +{Optional closing note — kudos, callout, or one-liner} +``` + +### Step 6: Write to File + +Save the summary: + +``` +~/projects/talent-engine/docs/weekly-shipped-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md +``` + +Where the date is this Friday's date.
