feat(skills): add agentskills.io compatible workflow skills #83
Conversation

I think Claude Code could still find the skills if we put them in ai/skills - and it would be less awkward naming because all the major agents support skills. |

Now I'll conduct a comprehensive code review of the Claude Code skills integration following the AIDD framework standards. 🔬 /review Code Review: Claude Code Skills IntegrationSummaryThis PR adds Agent Skills support for Claude Code by creating 8 skills in FindingsCriticalNone identified Major1. Directory Structure Redundancy (.claude/ vs ai/)Location: Issue: The PR comment raises a valid concern: "I think Claude Code could still find the skills if we put them in ai/skills - and it would be less awkward naming because all the major agents support skills." Analysis:
Recommendation:
Evidence of Duplication:
## Core Principles
- **Test-Driven Development**: Write tests first, implement minimal code to pass, refactor
- **One thing at a time**: Complete and get approval before moving to next task
- **Vision alignment**: Always read `vision.md` before starting any task workflow
- **Progressive discovery**: Only consume context needed for the current taskThis duplicates content from 2. Missing Epic/Task DocumentationLocation: Issue: There is no epic file documenting this feature implementation. According to AIDD workflow (see Recommendation: Create a task epic documenting:
This epic should then be logged to Minor3. Inconsistent Command Format DocumentationLocation: Issue: The command files are very terse compared to their skill counterparts. For example: ---
description: Plan and break down an epic into tasks
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash(mkdir:*)
---
Plan a task epic using the AIDD framework.
First, read `vision.md` to ensure alignment.
Then:
1. Gather context about what needs to be built
2. Break down into atomic, sequential tasks
3. Write each task with "Given X, should Y" requirements
4. Create epic file in `tasks/` folder
5. Add reference to `plan.md`
Get user approval before creating the epic file.
$ARGUMENTSWhile the skill file has comprehensive guidance: ---
name: aidd-task
description: Plan and break down epics into manageable tasks. Use when starting a new feature, planning implementation work, or breaking down complex requests into sequential steps. Creates task files in the tasks/ folder.
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash(mkdir:*)
---
# Task Planning
Systematically plan and break down complex requests into manageable, sequential tasks.
## Prerequisites
1. Read `vision.md` to understand project goals and constraints
2. If vision conflicts with requested task, stop and clarify with user
## Context Gathering
Before planning, gather or infer:
- **TaskName**: The specific task being planned
- **CodeContext**: Relevant files, functions, components to examine or modify
- **StyleGuides**: Coding standards and conventions that apply
- **Dependencies**: External libraries, APIs, or integrations required
- **Constraints**: Technical limitations, performance requirements, business rules
- **Stories**: Clear, measurable outcomes for completed work
## Task Planning Process
### 1. Decompose
Break the user's request into atomic, sequential tasks.
### 2. Validate Each Task
Ensure each task is:
- Specific and actionable
- Independently testable
- Small enough to complete in one focused session (~50 lines of code)
- Clear about inputs, outputs, and success criteria
### 3. Sequence
Arrange tasks so each builds on the previous one.
### 4. Checkpoint
Add approval gates between major phases.
## Epic File Template
Create epic files in `tasks/` folder:
```markdown
# {EpicName} Epic
**Status**: PLANNED
**Goal**: {briefGoal}
## Overview
{Single paragraph starting with WHY - the user benefit or problem being solved. Explain what gaps are being addressed. Keep it terse.}
---
## {TaskName}
{Brief task description - 1 sentence max}
**Requirements**:
- Given {situation}, should {jobToDo}
- Given {situation}, should {jobToDo}
---
## {NextTaskName}
{Brief description}
**Requirements**:
- Given {situation}, should {jobToDo}

Issue: The permissions list only includes
Analysis: This may be a misunderstanding of the permissions model. The Recommendation: Verify this permissions file is necessary and correctly configured. If it's for Claude Code's tool restrictions, ensure all required commands are whitelisted. Suggestions1. Add Index Files for Progressive DiscoveryFollowing the pattern in 2. Link to agentskills.io SpecAdd a comment or README in 3. Version the SkillsConsider adding a 4. Add Cross-ReferencesSkills should reference their corresponding Cursor rules files. For example, Requirements AdherenceUnable to verify - No functional requirements document or task epic exists for this feature. This violates AIDD workflow principles. Based on PR description, the implementation appears to meet stated goals:
Task Plan AdherenceNo task plan found in
This appears to have been implemented without following the AIDD workflow it documents. Security Review (OWASP Top 10 Check)✅ A01: Broken Access Control - N/A (documentation only) No critical security vulnerabilities identified. The security guidance inconsistency should be addressed. Cleanup CheckFiles That Should Be Consolidated
Missing Files
Dead CodeNo dead code identified - all files are new additions. Recommended Actions
Overall AssessmentThe implementation is well-structured and comprehensive, with clear documentation and good separation of concerns. The skills accurately mirror AIDD workflows and follow the agentskills.io specification. However, the architectural decision to create Additionally, this work doesn't follow its own documented workflow - no epic, no requirements, no TDD. This is ironic given the content being added, and should be remediated before merge or immediately after. The security guidance inconsistency should be fixed to prevent recommending vulnerable patterns. With these changes, this would be an excellent addition to the AIDD framework's multi-agent support strategy. |

🔬 /review Code Review: Agent Skills Integration (Updated)SummaryThis PR attempts to add agentskills.io compatible skills for multi-agent support. However, there's a critical architectural mismatch: the PR description claims skills live in Some review feedback was addressed (task epic created, security guidance updated in FindingsCritical1. Actual Implementation Contradicts PR DescriptionLocation: Issue: The PR description states:
But the actual implementation has:
Evidence: # skills/ has 7 skill directories (no aidd-init)
# .claude/skills/ has 8 skill directories (includes aidd-init)
# File sizes differ:
skills/aidd-commit/SKILL.md: 79 lines
.claude/skills/aidd-commit/SKILL.md: 90 lines
# Security checklist differs between directoriesImpact:
Recommendation: Choose ONE of these approaches: Option A - Root skills/ (as PR description claims): # Remove .claude/skills/
rm -rf .claude/skills/
# Users create symlinks themselves:
mkdir -p .claude && ln -s ../skills .claude/skillsOption B - Agent-specific directories:
Option C - Move to ai/skills/ (as originally suggested): # Move all skills to ai/skills/
mv skills/* ai/skills/
# Update AGENTS.md to point to ai/skills/
# Agents can discover skills wherever they are2. Two Epic Files for Same FeatureLocation: Issue: Two different epic files exist describing overlapping but contradictory implementations:
Both claim to be complete, but they describe different architectures. Recommendation:
Major3. Security Guidance DivergenceLocation: Issue: The security checklist was updated in In ## Timing-Safe Comparisons
For comparing secrets (tokens, API keys, session IDs), use SHA3-256 hashing.
**Never use** direct comparison or timing-safe functions:
- `crypto.timingSafeEqual` - vulnerable to compiler optimizations
- Direct string comparison (`===`) - timing oracle attack
```javascript
// Bad - timing oracle attack
if (token === storedToken) { }
// Bad - vulnerable to subtle bugs
import { timingSafeEqual } from 'crypto'
timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(token), Buffer.from(storedToken))
// Good - SHA3-256 hashing
import { createHash } from 'crypto'
const hash = (t) => createHash('sha3-256').update(t).digest('hex')
const isValid = hash(token) === hash(storedToken)See Issue: This hardcodes Recommendation: If using root 6. AGENTS.md Setup Instructions Assume Symlinks But Code Doesn't Create ThemLocation: ### Setup for Claude Code
Claude Code doesn't natively support `AGENTS.md`. To enable AIDD:
```bash
# Copy or symlink AGENTS.md to CLAUDE.md
cp AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md
# or: ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md
# Symlink skills directory
mkdir -p .claude
ln -s ../skills .claude/skillsSetup for Cursor# Symlink skills directory (Cursor also discovers .claude/skills)
mkdir -p .cursor
ln -s ../skills .cursor/skillsManual InvocationSkills can be invoked explicitly with
Then update:
2. HIGH PRIORITY - Consolidate Epic FilesChoose one epic as canonical:
3. HIGH PRIORITY - Add Pre-commit ValidationIf keeping both directories (not recommended), add validation: // In pre-commit hook
// Verify skills/ and .claude/skills/ are in sync
// Fail if divergence detected4. MEDIUM PRIORITY - Update DocumentationOnce architecture is finalized:
5. LOW PRIORITY - Add Symlink Creation ScriptIf shipping with root # scripts/setup-claude-code.sh
mkdir -p .claude
ln -sf ../skills .claude/skills
cp AGENTS.md CLAUDE.mdOverall AssessmentArchitecture is fundamentally broken in current state. The PR description claims one thing ("skills at root with symlinks") but delivers another (duplicated directories with diverging content). This has already caused divergence in 1-2 commits (security checklist, file counts). The implementation quality of individual skills is good - comprehensive, well-structured, follows agentskills.io spec. But the deployment architecture undermines this quality by creating maintenance burden and confusion. Cannot recommend merge until Critical Issue #1 (duplication) is resolved. Once architecture is fixed to match PR description (root The positive news: fixing this is straightforward - remove one directory, update a few doc references, done. The skills content itself is solid work. |

@janhesters I think we need to backfill a few tests before we merge this, and compare test runs between existing rules and new skills. Let's commit with data to back up the decision. I'm working to land this right now: paralleldrive/riteway#394 |

@cursoragent please /review again, focusing on feature parity with the previous rules versions. You may need to check the main branch for the old ai/rules - then carefully check for 100% complete feature parity in the new ai/skills implementations. Please absorb this PR feedback thread context, and please try not to make any recommendations that conflict with my feedback. |

Recommended Actions
1. CRITICAL - Restore Agent Orchestration
Add to skills/aidd-task/SKILL.md after line 24:
## Agent Orchestration
For complex tasks requiring specialized expertise, use the agent orchestrator pattern from `ai/rules/agent-orchestrator.mdc`.
assessComplexity() {
criteria:
Multiple technical domains (UI, backend, testing, etc.)
Specialized knowledge (Redux, TDD, product management, etc.)
Cross-functional coordination
Integration with existing agent workflows
}
When complexity criteria met, employ appropriate specialist agents before executing tasks.2. CRITICAL - Restore Thinking Protocol
Add to skills/aidd-task/SKILL.md:
## Workflow
createPlan() {
1. Think = "🎯 restate |> 💡 ideate |> 🪞 reflectCritically |> 🔭 expandOrthogonally |> ⚖️ scoreRankEvaluate |> 💬 respond"
1. Gather context and clarification
1. Present plan to user for approval
1. Add reference to plan.md
}
executePlan() {
1. Complete current task only
1. Validate against success criteria
1. Report accomplishments
1. Await explicit approval before proceeding
}3. HIGH - Restore Missing Commands
In skills/aidd-task/SKILL.md frontmatter:
aiddCommands: [/task, /execute, /list]Add Commands block to skill body with descriptions.
4. HIGH - Restore CRUD Operations
Add to skills/aidd-discover/SKILL.md:
## CRUD Operations
Manageable entities:
- account, project (has exactly one storyMap)
- persona, painPoint, mockup
- journey, step, story
Note: storyMap is part of project (no separate CRUD)
Note: PRD is derived on demand from other data5. MEDIUM - Restore "Act As" Personas
Add after frontmatter in both skills:
- aidd-discover: "Act as a top-tier software product and project manager..."
- aidd-task: "Act as a top-tier software project manager and systematic task planner..."
6. MEDIUM - Restore Epic Lifecycle Functions
Add to aidd-task:
reviewEpic()- validation checklistonComplete()- archival workflow with plan.md cleanup
7. LOW - Restore Type Calculations
In skills/aidd-discover/references/types.md, restore:
UserStory {
priority = painPoint ~> impact * frequency
}
FeaturePRD {
[...]
}:format=Markdown PRD
Test Recommendation Response
Re: @ericelliott's question about backfilling tests:
The concern is valid - these are not equivalent refactors. The simplified prose versions lose:
- Structured semantics (SudoLang types, functions, blocks)
- Executable workflows (function composition with
|>) - Critical orchestration patterns (agent dispatch, complexity assessment)
Recommendation: Before considering these equivalent, restore the missing functionality above. The skills can be markdown-friendly while preserving SudoLang structures - they're not mutually exclusive.
Overall Assessment
Status: ❌ NOT READY FOR MERGE
Feature Parity: ~60% - Significant functionality lost
Critical Gaps:
- Agent orchestration completely removed
- Thinking protocol (RTC) lost
- Epic lifecycle workflows missing
- Structural SudoLang semantics stripped
Path Forward:
- Restore critical features listed above
- Keep markdown-friendly presentation BUT preserve SudoLang structures
- Ensure skills are equivalent in capability to original .mdc files
- Then verify with actual usage testing
The migration concept is sound (agentskills.io compatibility is valuable), but execution oversimplified the content. Skills can be both discoverable AND functionally complete.
|
@janhesters One strategy we could use to merge faster: break out just one smaller skill, or one small subsection of the /review command, e.g. maybe we make a skills/security/tokencompare.md and just do the token compare section? We could write unit tests for just that in the new style. We don't need the Riteway framework test runner to run some basic smoke tests. We could just point the agent at the test file, and it should be able to just handle it. You could start backfilling tests one module at a time? |
