refactor(ai-skills): harden control flow and reduce instruction drift
Tighten root/core control flow, add dedicated post-mortem, web, and context-hygiene capabilities, and reduce instruction drift through clearer ownership, conflict-priority handling, and README/docs workflow alignment. This makes long-session AI behavior more deterministic while keeping the instruction system compact and maintainable.

This project assumes strict instruction-following once the core rules are loaded.

- After loading `root-skill` and selected skills, the AI must follow them consistently in the same session.

# Analysis Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Analysis documents are scratch work — comparisons, evaluations, investigations. They live in `tmp/` which is gitignored. They are never `docs/`.
|
||||
Analysis documents are **Decision Support Tools** and **Technical Drafts**. They serve as a sandbox for the AI to explore options or store complex results before they are solidified into documentation. They live in `tmp/` which is gitignored.
|
||||
|
||||
## Triggering Criteria
|
||||
1. **Complexity:** More than two viable technical paths exist with different trade-offs.
|
||||
2. **Context Relief:** The comparison table or logic exceeds 50 lines, threatening chat context readability.
|
||||
3. **Explicit Request:** The user asks for a formal analysis or "comparison doc".
|
||||
|
||||
## Where to write
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
tmp/<TOPIC>/<title>.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
- `tmp/symlink-vs-copy/comparison.md`
|
||||
- `tmp/curl-installer/design.md`
|
||||
- `tmp/harness-options/analysis.md`
|
||||
|
||||
`TOPIC` is a short slug describing the subject area. `<title>.md` describes what the document contains. Use lowercase and hyphens.
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL RULE:** Do NOT create analysis files or any temporary files in the project root. Always use the `tmp/<topic>/` folder structure.
|
||||
@ -28,18 +27,17 @@ Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
Analysis is strictly scoped to the question asked. Do not expand into adjacent decisions unless the user asks. The purpose is to inform a decision, not to redesign the system.
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing style
|
||||
|
||||
Analysis documents are the exception to the section-by-section documentation workflow. Write the full document in one pass. The user reads it as a whole and decides what to do next.
|
||||
## Diamond Quality Standards (AI Freedom & Utility)
|
||||
While the AI has "freer hands" in the structure of an analysis, the output must remain high-utility:
|
||||
- **No Fluff:** Skip LLM politeness and focus on data.
|
||||
- **Visuals:** Use comparison tables over long paragraphs.
|
||||
- **Directness:** Recommendations must be justified but blunt.
|
||||
- **Pre-Documentation:** Structure data so it is easy to transform into formal `docs/` later.
|
||||
|
||||
Structure to use when relevant:
|
||||
- **Context** — what problem or question this addresses
|
||||
- **Options** — what the alternatives are, with concrete tradeoffs per option
|
||||
- **Recommendation** — what to do and why (be direct, no hedging)
|
||||
- **Open questions** — what still needs a decision, if anything
|
||||
|
||||
Not all sections are required. A short comparison with a clear recommendation may need only a table and a conclusion.
|
||||
- **Context** — Max 3 sentences describing the problem. Brief description of the problem/goal.
|
||||
- **Comparison Table** — Side-by-side view of viable paths.
|
||||
- **Trade-offs** — Critical Pros/Cons only.
|
||||
|
||||
## What analysis is not
|
||||
|
||||
Analysis documents do not become documentation. If a decision is made based on an analysis, the decision gets documented in `docs/architecture.md` or the relevant doc file. The analysis in `tmp/` stays as scratch — it is not cleaned up, updated, or committed.
|
||||
Analysis is a disposable artifact. Once a decision is made, the final result is recorded in `docs/architecture.md` (if relevant), and the analysis file is ignored.

# Context Hygiene Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Purpose
|
||||
Reduce context drift and cognitive noise in long sessions without weakening mandatory safety and refresh constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Prohibitions (Thou Shalt Not)
|
||||
- **NEVER skip mandatory preflight refresh** (`root-skill`, `core-principles`, `skill-list`).
|
||||
- **NEVER drop the active main task or return point.**
|
||||
- **NEVER prune context by hiding unresolved decisions.**
|
||||
- **NEVER use context cleanup as a shortcut to ignore required skills.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Detect Context Noise**
|
||||
- Trigger when `>= 3` parked branches exist or user requests refocus.
|
||||
- Identify which branches are active vs stale.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create Compact Continuity Snapshot**
|
||||
- Keep four items visible:
|
||||
- Main task
|
||||
- Current sub-task
|
||||
- Prerequisite reason
|
||||
- Return point
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Park Stale Branches**
|
||||
- Summarize stale branches in 1-2 lines each under a backlog/parking note.
|
||||
- Keep unresolved decisions explicit.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Resume Active Path**
|
||||
- Continue only with skills relevant to the active path.
|
||||
- If branch relevance is unclear, ask one clarifying question (`grill-me` protocol).

||||

||||

- **NEVER touch the `.ai/` folders** unless explicitly instructed to edit the AI's own instructions.

- **NEVER make "while I'm at it" or "cleanup" modifications.** Make *only* the requested minimal change.
|
||||
- **NEVER execute file modifications via the terminal (`echo`, `sed`, `cat >`).** Always use the built-in file editing tools.
|
||||
- **NEVER write to external memory stores** (e.g., `/memories/`, global prompts, tool-level persistent memory) without explicit user instruction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflows (Operational Methodology)
|
||||
|
||||
State boundary:
|
||||
- `root-skill` governs state transitions (`PLAN`/`IMPLEMENTATION`).
|
||||
- `core-principles` governs behavioral discipline and quality within those states.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Default to Read-Only (Proposal Mode):**
|
||||
- Read freely using tools. Do not write or execute changes until explicitly commanded (e.g., "Implement this").
|
||||
- In `STATE: PLAN`, read freely using tools. Do not write or execute changes until explicitly commanded (e.g., "Implement this").
|
||||
- Read the relevant code *before* editing. State what you observed, explain what you will change, and wait for confirmation.
|
||||
2. **Explain and Break Down Work:**
|
||||
- For non-trivial tasks, state what you will do, break it into numbered parts in the chat, and execute one part at a time explaining each step.
|
||||
3. **Systems Thinking & Pushback:**
|
||||
- Do not tunnel-vision on code. Consider the environment (disk, network, DNS, third-party outages).
|
||||
- If you disagree with the user's assumption, provide "Constructive Pushback". Be a sparring partner, not a yes-man. Explain your reasoning in 1-2 sentences.
|
||||
4. **No Assumption Rule:**
|
||||
- If requirements are ambiguous, load `.ai/skills/grill-me/SKILL.md` and clarify using one question per message.
|
||||
- Do not proceed to implementation while critical inputs are missing.

# Post-Mortem Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Purpose
|
||||
Provide a deterministic recovery path after mistakes so failures become explicit, traceable, and preventable.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Prohibitions (Thou Shalt Not)
|
||||
- **NEVER continue implementation before presenting a post-mortem when corrected.**
|
||||
- **NEVER edit `.ai/` instructions without explicit user approval.**
|
||||
- **NEVER write vague "sorry" responses without evidence and root cause.**
|
||||
- **NEVER propose broad behavior rewrites when a minimal targeted fix is enough.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflows (Mechanical Procedure)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pause & Collect Evidence**
|
||||
- Capture inputs, commands, files, and outputs that demonstrate the failure.
|
||||
- Quote short snippets/log lines proving the issue.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Produce Post-Mortem Report**
|
||||
- Include: Summary, Trigger, Evidence, Root cause, Proposed fix, Verification plan.
|
||||
- Use the template from `REFERENCE.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **If AI behavior/instructions are affected**
|
||||
- Propose an explicit skill change:
|
||||
- target file path
|
||||
- one-line rationale
|
||||
- minimal patch snippet
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Ask for Explicit Approval**
|
||||
- Present the report and patch.
|
||||
- Ask for one clear accept/deny decision.
|
||||
- Do not edit `.ai/` files before approval.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Apply + Verify**
|
||||
- If approved: apply minimal change and run verification.
|
||||
- If denied: archive the post-mortem in `tmp/<topic>/<short-title>.md` and propose alternatives.
|
||||

- **NEVER exceed 140 lines without explicit user approval.**
|
||||
- **NEVER duplicate `docs/` content.** Link to the documents instead.
|
||||
- **NEVER invent content.** If the README is missing, ask the user what problem it solves and how to start it locally before writing.
|
||||
- **NEVER rewrite the entire file when updating.** Point out specifically what is wrong and fix only that section.
|
||||
- **NEVER write in a language other than English.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflows
|
||||
## README-Specific Overrides
|
||||
|
||||
When writing or reviewing a README, ensure it contains exactly these three sections:
|
||||
1. **What is this?** — One or two sentences explaining the problem and solution in plain language.
|
||||
2. **How to run locally** — Minimal commands only, zero theory.
|
||||
3. **Key links** — Direct links to detailed `docs/` files.
|
||||
1. **Scope Ownership**
|
||||
- README owns entrypoint content only.
|
||||
- Detailed architecture, decisions, and deep explanations belong in `docs/`.
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: For general writing style, diagrams, and formatting, follow the `documentation` skill.*
|
||||
2. **Required README Structure**
|
||||
- Keep exactly these three sections:
|
||||
- **What is this?** — One or two sentences in plain language.
|
||||
- **How to run locally** — Minimal commands only, zero theory.
|
||||
- **Key links** — Direct links to detailed docs.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Update Policy**
|
||||
- For non-trivial edits, update one section at a time and let the user review before expanding.
|
||||
- If a correction is requested, fix only the requested section.
|
||||
- If README approaches 100 lines, move depth into `docs/<topic>.md` and add links in README.

# Root Skill (The Master State Machine)
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ ACKNOWLEDGMENT REQUIRED
|
||||
**YOU MUST start EVERY response with this acknowledgment on the FIRST LINE:**
|
||||
## ⚡ Mandatory First Line
|
||||
Every response MUST start with:
|
||||
`✅ root-skill READ — git add/commit/push FORBIDDEN without explicit permission`
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚦 STATE MACHINE RULES (THINK BEFORE ACT)
|
||||
To prevent premature execution, you operate as a State Machine. You must explicitly declare your state immediately after the acknowledgment line.
|
||||
## 🚦 State Machine
|
||||
- State ownership: `root-skill` is the single source of truth for state transitions.
|
||||
- Default: `STATE: PLAN`
|
||||
- Enter `STATE: IMPLEMENTATION` only on explicit user command.
|
||||
- After implementation, next response MUST return to `STATE: PLAN`.
|
||||
|
||||
### `STATE: PLAN` (Default state for analysis and planning)
|
||||
- **FIRST ACTION:** Ensure `.ai/skills/core-principles/SKILL.md` is loaded.
|
||||
- **FORBIDDEN:** Do NOT use `replace_string_in_file`, `create_file`, or terminal commands that modify state (`git add`, writing files).
|
||||
- **ALLOWED:** `read_file`, `file_search`, `grep_search`, read-only terminal (`ls`, `cat`), and proposing plans.
|
||||
- Propose the strategy in bullet points only. Do NOT output concrete implementation code blocks. Stop and ask for approval.
|
||||
## 🔒 Mandatory Per-Response Structure
|
||||
Every response MUST include:
|
||||
|
||||
### `STATE: IMPLEMENTATION` (Only when user explicitly approves/commands)
|
||||
- **CRITICAL PRE-EXECUTION:** Before any file edits, mechanically `read_file` the relevant skill files (e.g., `clean-code`, `helm`).
|
||||
- **ACTIVE SKILL ECHO:** Immediately after reading skills, output a section `### Active Skills:` summarizing the 2-3 most critical rules.
|
||||
- **ALLOWED:** You may use file modification tools and generate concrete code.
|
||||
### Current Progress
|
||||
- [x] Completed sub-tasks
|
||||
- [/] Current active focus: <short description>
|
||||
- [ ] Remaining items in this task
|
||||
|
||||
- **RETURN TO PLAN:** Once execution is finished, your VERY NEXT response MUST transition back to `STATE: PLAN`.
|
||||
If omitted, immediately send a correction message with the block.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 TASK LOCK & CONTEXT MANAGEMENT
|
||||
1. **Strict Monotasking:** Focus only on the current task. Do not plan the next step until the current one is confirmed.
|
||||
2. **The "Parking Lot":** If new ideas emerge mid-flow, list them under a `💡 IDEAS / BACKLOG` section at the end of the response. Do not act on them yet.
|
||||
3. **Mandatory Confirmation:** After every implementation, you MUST stop and ask:
|
||||
> "Is this task completed to your satisfaction?"
|
||||
Do not start new work until the user confirms.
|
||||
### Task Continuity (Required)
|
||||
To prevent drift when work branches into prerequisites, every response MUST also preserve:
|
||||
- **Main task:** the original user goal
|
||||
- **Current sub-task:** what is being handled now
|
||||
- **Prerequisite reason:** why this sub-task is needed
|
||||
- **Return point:** what task is resumed after prerequisite completes
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚫 GIT HARD RULES (Reference)
|
||||
See complete Git rules: `.ai/skills/git/SKILL.md`
|
||||
## 🧭 Context & Safety Protocol
|
||||
Priority fallback (unless explicitly overridden for current task):
|
||||
`root-skill` > `core-principles` > domain skill (`iac`/`helm`/etc.) > workflow skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## 📚 The Modular Skills Architecture
|
||||
You must load specialized instructions from `.ai/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` when relevant:
|
||||
- **GitOps & Infra:** `iac`, `helm`, `kubernetes-access`
|
||||
- **Code Quality:** `clean-code`, `clean-architecture`
|
||||
- **Workflow:** `git`, `write-skill`, `analysis`
|
||||
- **Meta:** `core-principles`, `readme`, `docs`
|
||||
*(Use file search/grep if you need a specific skill that isn't listed here).*
|
||||
1. Every 3rd message include exactly:
|
||||
`Re-verifying state: Still in [STATE], following root-skill constraints.`
|
||||
2. If a new technology appears, refresh `.ai/skill-list.txt`.
|
||||
2.1 If loaded skills have potential overlap/conflict, declare priority in one sentence before acting.
|
||||
3. If corrected after a mistake, run post-mortem flow and propose preventive skill update.
|
||||
4. If requirements are unclear or assumptions are needed, load `.ai/skills/grill-me/SKILL.md` and clarify one question at a time before implementation.
|
||||
5. After every implementation, ask:
|
||||
`Is this task completed to your satisfaction?`
|
||||
6. In browser/web AI environments, load `.ai/skills/web-ai/SKILL.md`.
|
||||
7. If a prerequisite task is started, explicitly state when returning to the original main task.
|
||||
8. If long-session context gets noisy, load `.ai/skills/context-hygiene/SKILL.md`.
|
||||
9. Session bootstrap gate: if user asks to read instructions first (or points to `.ai` at session start), complete preflight before any other work.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Active Refresh (Per Message)
|
||||
Before handling each user message:
|
||||
1. Re-read `root-skill` and `core-principles` (first ~100 lines or whole file if shorter).
|
||||
2. Re-read `.ai/skill-list.txt` and select top relevant skills by `name` + `description`.
|
||||
3. If reads fail, notify user and continue with last known summary.
|
||||
4. Every response must include: `Skills used: ...`
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧩 Skill Routing
|
||||
Load relevant skills from `.ai/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`:
|
||||
- Infra: `iac`, `helm`, `kubernetes-access`
|
||||
- Code: `clean-code`, `clean-architecture`
|
||||
- Workflow: `git`, `write-skill`, `analysis`, `grill-me`
|
||||
- Focus: `context-hygiene` (long-session refocus and branch parking)
|
||||
- Web: `web-ai` (browser/remote AI environments only)
|
||||
- Meta: `core-principles`, `readme`, `docs`
|
||||
|
||||
Canonicality note:
|
||||
- `.ai/skill-list.txt` is canonical for available skills and descriptions.
|
||||
- The routing categories above are illustrative selection helpers.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌐 Language Rule
|
||||
ALL documentation files must be written in **English**. You may communicate in the chat in the user's preferred language (Finnish).
|
||||
Documentation files MUST be in English. Chat language follows user preference.
|
||||
|
||||
## Resource Access Rules
|
||||
|
||||
When you need to read a skill or a file listed in .ai/skill-list.txt, construct the URL using the following logic:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Base URL: https://gitea.nikos-dev.keskikuja.site/niko/ai-superpower/raw/branch/main/
|
||||
|
||||
2. File Path: Combine the Base URL with the relative path of the skill
|
||||
- Example: Skill git is located at .ai/skills/git/SKILL.md
|
||||
- Constructed URL: https://gitea.nikos-dev.keskikuja.site/niko/ai-superpower/raw/branch/main/.ai/skills/git/SKILL.md

# Web AI Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Purpose
|
||||
Provide a strict runtime contract for browser-based AI usage where skills are loaded via remote URLs instead of local file reads.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Prohibitions (Thou Shalt Not)
|
||||
- **NEVER skip `root-skill` in web mode.**
|
||||
- **NEVER assume stale skill context is valid across turns.**
|
||||
- **NEVER load random files before consulting `.ai/skill-list.txt`.**
|
||||
- **NEVER hide read failures; report fail-open status to the user.**
|
||||
- **NEVER write external memory stores** (e.g., `/memories/`, global prompts, tool memory) without explicit user instruction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Resource Access Rules**
|
||||
- Base URL: `https://gitea.nikos-dev.keskikuja.site/niko/ai-superpower/raw/branch/main/`
|
||||
- Build URL as: `<base-url> + <relative-path-from-skill-list>`
|
||||
- Example:
|
||||
- Skill path: `.ai/skills/git/SKILL.md`
|
||||
- URL: `https://gitea.nikos-dev.keskikuja.site/niko/ai-superpower/raw/branch/main/.ai/skills/git/SKILL.md`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Active Refresh Policy (Per Message)**
|
||||
- Re-read `root-skill` and `core-principles` (first ~100 lines or whole file if shorter).
|
||||
- Re-read `.ai/skill-list.txt` and select top-1..3 candidate skills via `name` + `description`.
|
||||
- Cache summaries only as optimization; never skip mandatory re-read.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Version Event Refresh**
|
||||
- If user says `.ai` has a new version, immediately re-read high-impact skills:
|
||||
- `root-skill`, `core-principles`, `git`, `analysis`, `iac`.
|
||||
- Publish a short updated summary in working context.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Fail-Open Behavior**
|
||||
- If reading fails, notify the user and continue with last known summary until resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Visibility**
|
||||
- Include one-line skill visibility in each response:
|
||||
- `Skills used: ...`
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ / ❌ Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
// ❌ FORBIDDEN
|
||||
I used cached skills from earlier, no need to refresh.
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ REQUIRED
|
||||
I refreshed root-skill, core-principles, and skill-list for this message and selected relevant skills.

- **NEVER write text-heavy prose.** Use bullet points, bold text, and "Negative Prompting" (`🚨 Prohibitions: NEVER...`).
|
