🎯 Changes

Maintainers can create useful skill batches and keep them current through normal code requests after one intent install --maintainer. scaffold, stale, and review reminders use the same authoring procedure.

  • Cumulative records: every batch creates or extends domain_map.yaml, skill_spec.md, and skill_tree.yaml, preserving prior coverage, decisions, exclusions, and remaining work without a mandatory full-library interview.
  • Source review: intent review identifies affected skills, planning records, and unmapped Git changes, including Git-visible custom skill roots and planning locations. Source paths resolve from the skill’s owning package. Recorded content hashes suppress repeated reviews and reopen them after edits. Missing records or unavailable source evidence remain unresolved.
  • Portable descriptions: description carries self-contained activation conditions; metadata.purpose preserves the original descriptive explanation. Discovery and list --json expose purpose separately. Existing skills remain valid.
  • Task-based guidance: group related features under one task, link conditional references, check discovery separately from task correctness, and use tested scripts when automation helps.
  • Review checks: the optional setup workflow checks PR review state and uses source review for release reminders, retaining the staleness fallback when no state exists.

Public documentation changes are in #259. This PR leaves docs/ unchanged.

The existing coding agent authors skills. Intent does not certify recorded conclusions, require a literal description prefix in validation, or run a model in CI.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.

Validation

  • Local pnpm run test:pr: unit and integration tests, types, lint, build, documentation links, Sherif, and Knip.
  • Restored all nine benchmark workloads to Vitest 4 bench() tasks so CodSpeed can collect them. The benchmark target and benchmark TypeScript checks pass locally.
  • Explicit-base recovery, stable deletion fingerprints, and legacy review-state compatibility pass focused review tests. A packed-release assertion now verifies that JSON retains raw reasons while generated Markdown escapes link syntax.
  • Ten fixture/checker tests verify that the protected consumer grader accepts correct behavior and rejects plausible retry/pagination mistakes.
  • Live author/consumer evaluation exposed an incorrect retry recommendation and passed the unchanged grader after repair. The no-skill baseline also passed; these observations do not establish improved reliability.
  • An ordinary API-change session updated code and guidance but omitted review recording. The real check caught the omission; recovery recorded an update and an evidence-backed no-op.
  • Two further authoring batches created and extended all three planning records, retaining prior decisions and history. The first omitted recording, which the real check caught; the second recorded outcomes and finished with zero pending items.
  • A fresh format migration preserved both original descriptions exactly as purpose, retained task grouping and prior record history, and completed review recording. Cancellation wording remained overbroad, so this is not counted as a semantic-quality pass or consumer activation test.
  • Regression checks reproduce and fix the review-state lock race, stale-lock error, and reminder command inconsistency. Generated reminders also contain untrusted review fields within their data presentation, including escaped Markdown link delimiters.
  • Packed-package checks cover setup, shipped procedure references, required planning records, recording, and source changes reopening review. Unit checks cover missing/invalid/ignored documents, removed skills, stale reports, no-ops, and shared monorepo placement.

See the maintainer evaluation for the reproducible setup and limits.

Review follow-up

Addressed the lock lifetime, stale-lock recovery, follow-up command, and untrusted review-field findings. Kept the existing command runner policy: the proposed blanket 0.4.0 pin predates this PR’s maintainer setup, source-review command, and authoring guidance. A consistent installed-version selection policy remains separate work. Custom-root review coverage is now implemented, including source mapping, planning validation, recording, and reopening after changes. A packed-release fixture loads two affected skills and verifies that both pointers reach the same shared reference. Reference resolution is checked separately from structural validation.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Includes a minor changeset for the planned 0.5 release. Unreleased; further maintainer batches will follow.

Related: #238.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added intent review to inspect source and skill changes, record outcomes, and validate review status.
    • Added intent install --maintainer for separate maintainer guidance.
    • Skill listings now show activation descriptions separately from purpose.
    • Review workflows support GitHub reports, recorded reviews, baseline checks, and rewritten-history recovery.
  • Improvements

    • Staleness reports now suggest the next review command when follow-up is needed.
    • Skill-authoring guidance supports focused batches, evidence-based updates, planning records, and executable task checks.
    • Workflow checks now cover all pull requests and recorded review state.
    • Review output safely handles untrusted report content.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds maintainer guidance installation, Git-based review commands, planning-record checks, focused skill authoring procedures, purpose metadata, executable task checks, workflow updates, and packed-release validation.

Changes

Focused authoring workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Maintainer installation and Git review
packages/intent/src/commands/install/*, packages/intent/src/commands/review.ts, packages/intent/src/review/review.ts, packages/intent/meta/templates/workflows/check-skills.yml
Adds install --maintainer, review, Git-based review state, planning-record validation, atomic recording, and workflow integration.
Focused authoring and skill metadata
packages/intent/meta/*, packages/intent/src/{core,discovery,shared}/*
Routes focused authoring through generate-skill, adds cumulative planning guidance, separates description from metadata.purpose, and refines discovery and tree-generation procedures.
Consumer evaluation fixtures
evals/maintainer-workflow/*
Adds retry, cancellation, pagination, task specification, fixture APIs, executable checks, and grader tests.
Release and benchmark validation
packages/intent/tests/integration/*, benchmarks/intent/*, nx.json
Validates packed metadata links, maintainer workflows, focused authoring, and direct Vitest benchmark usage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f5f76

The maintainer review workflow cannot reach a clean recorded state in this repository, and maintainer-facing instructions still execute mutable npm package tags. Resolve these issues before merge so review automation is usable and repository-permission workflows do not depend on changing package contents.

@coderabbitai review

Please review f5f760a. It implements custom-root source review and planning validation, adds the two-skill shared-reference fixture, and restores the PR template checklist. Installed-version selection remains deferred from this PR.

@LadyBluenotes I found one blocking issue in f5f760a.

  • [P1] Restrict discovery to configured or recognized skill rootspackages/intent/src/review/review.ts Line 420 now includes every Git-visible file named SKILL.md. The Intent repository contains four shipped meta skills under packages/intent/meta/**/SKILL.md. None declares a top-level sources field. Lines 448-451 therefore report each as unresolved. Running intent review from the repository root cannot reach a clean recorded state unless maintainers add artificial source mappings to these meta skills. The old skills/**/SKILL.md restriction avoided this behavior. Support custom roots with an explicit root-selection rule, while excluding Intent’s shipped meta skills and other non-consumer SKILL.md files.

I also confirmed that .github/pull_request_template.md contains the checklist, but f5f760a does not modify that file.

Learning: For the `intent review` workflow in `packages/intent/src/review/review.ts`, automated discovery intentionally covers only first-party `skills/**/SKILL.md` files visible to Git. Custom skill roots, ignored files, submodules, external source repositories, and symbolic links require explicit manual review. `ProjectContext` does not provide a configured custom skill-root or artifact-location field for `createReview`.
