the `ce-session-historian` subagent and into the `ce-sessions` skill (main context), where the Skill tool is permitted. The agent shrinks to synthesis-only — receives pre-extracted file paths in `mktemp` scratch space, returns findings prose. `ce-compound` Phase 1 delegates session-history work to the `ce-sessions` skill via the platform's skill-invocation primitive (`Skill` in Claude Code, equivalent on other targets) instead of dispatching the historian directly. Closes #794. + +--- + +## Problem Frame + +`ce-session-historian` is dispatched as a subagent by `/ce-compound` Phase 1 and `/ce-sessions`, and its first concrete action is `Skill(ce-session-inventory)`. Claude Code does not permit subagents to invoke the `Skill` tool ([anthropics/claude-code#38719](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/38719)) — the call hangs at `Initializing…` indefinitely, eventually surfacing to the orchestrator as a spurious "user doesn't want to proceed with this tool use" rejection. Empirically confirmed in #794: same skill, same args, same machine, only the dispatch context differs (orchestrator works; subagent hangs). The fix is structural, not a workaround — remove every code path that has a subagent calling `Skill`. + +--- + +## Requirements + +- R1. `/ce-sessions [question]` and `/ce-compound` Phase 1 with session history opted in must complete successfully on Claude Code without hanging at `Initializing…` or surfacing a spurious user-denial error. +- R2. No subagent in the post-refactor session-history flow may invoke the `Skill` tool. The full orchestration must run in main conversation context. +- R3.

Script produces, model presents. +- `docs/solutions/skill-design/compound-refresh-skill-improvements.md` Solution #5 — subagents use native file-search/read tools (e.g., Read in Claude Code), not shell `cat`. The synthesis-only historian must use Read for the scratch-dir files. +- `docs/solutions/skill-design/research-agent-pipeline-separation-2026-04-05.md` — foreground vs. background dispatch placement is deliberate.

Carries over to the new agent's output schema. + +### External References + +- [anthropics/claude-code#38719](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/38719) — closed but the architectural limit is current. Subagents cannot invoke the Skill tool. + +--- + +## Key Technical Decisions + +- **Move scripts into `ce-sessions/scripts/` with bare relative-path invocations (`bash scripts/<name>`)**: This is the documented portable pattern in repo AGENTS.md and is empirically used by three existing slash-invoked skills (`ce-clean-gone-branches`, `ce-resolve-pr-feedback`, `ce-optimize`). Avoids `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` / `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` (Claude-Code-only) and the `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-.}` fallback (assumes other targets set CWD to skill dir, unverified). U2 Verification includes a marketplace-install smoke test to confirm runtime CWD resolution actually works on a non-`--plugin-dir` install, since the plugin AGENTS.md "Permission gate" caveat warns the runtime Bash tool may not resolve relative paths from the skill dir — the existing slash-command precedents argue against that warning, but verifying empirically before merge is cheap insurance. +- **`ce-compound` delegates to `ce-sessions` via the platform's skill-invocation primitive — semantic prose form, not a literal `Skill(...)` call**: Per the established convention in `ce-plan/references/plan-handoff.md` line 57 and plugin AGENTS.md "Cross-Platform Reference Rules" ("prefer semantic wording such as 'load the `ce-doc-review` skill' rather than slash syntax"). The semantic prose lets each target's converter route to its native primitive (`Skill` in Claude Code, equivalent on Codex/Gemini/Pi). A literal `Skill(ce-sessions, ...)` tool-call expression in the SKILL.md body would propagate Claude-Code-specific syntax to non-Claude targets when the skill ships verbatim through the converters. The architecture's central assumption — that the platform's skill-invocation primitive works from inside an executing skill body, not just from a direct slash command — is empirically verified by the current planning workflow itself: ce-plan invokes ce-doc-review via that primitive from its own skill body and the call resolves cleanly. +- **Synthesis subagent receives file paths in dispatch prompt; reads via the platform's native file-read tool (Read in Claude Code)**: Per `pass-paths-not-content-to-subagents` precedent. Inventory output (small) flows through main-context tool results because the orchestrator needs it for filter/rank judgment. Per-session skeleton/errors output is written *directly to scratch files* by the extraction scripts (via a new `--output PATH` arg added in U2) — extraction content never round-trips through main-context tool results. This is what makes the synthesizer subagent earn its keep: with extraction bytes isolated to its subagent context, the orchestrator's working state stays lean (just paths + small inventory + final findings prose). +- **Drop the agent's "Conversational mode" framing**: The current agent file advertises two modes (compound enrichment, conversational), but no caller invokes the agent without going through `/ce-sessions` or `/ce-compound` today. Removing the dual-mode framing simplifies the synthesis-only spec. If conversational direct dispatch is needed later, it can be reintroduced with explicit standalone-mode wiring. +- **Add the deleted skills to all three legacy-cleanup lookups**: `STALE_SKILL_DIRS` in `src/utils/legacy-cleanup.ts`, `EXTRA_LEGACY_ARTIFACTS_BY_PLUGIN["compound-engineering"].skills[]` in `src/data/plugin-legacy-artifacts.ts`, and `LEGACY_ONLY_SKILL_DESCRIPTIONS` (also in `legacy-cleanup.ts`). The descriptions map is required because these skills have no current ce-* replacement — `loadLegacyFingerprints` falls back to that map for ownership fingerprinting on upgrade. +- **Preserve `/ce-compound` Phase 1 wall-clock parallelism via dispatch ordering**: The current Phase 1 dispatches three background research subagents in parallel and the historian in foreground concurrently — explicitly designed so the historian "runs while the background agents work, adding no wall-clock time." A naive replacement that issues the skill-invocation primitive call to `ce-sessions` *before* the parallel block would serialize ce-sessions in front of the research subagents, regressing wall-clock time materially. The fix: launch the three background research subagents first (Context Analyzer, Solution Extractor, Related Docs Finder), *then* issue the skill-invocation primitive call to `ce-sessions`. The synchronous skill call blocks ce-compound's main-context turn until ce-sessions returns, but the already-dispatched background subagents continue running in parallel underneath — the same wall-clock benefit as today, just with a different concurrency primitive. U4 Approach specifies this ordering explicitly so the implementer doesn't have to rederive it. + +--- + +## Open Questions + +### Resolved During Planning + +- **Cross-platform script path resolution**: Use bare `bash scripts/<name>` (resolved by codebase precedent — `ce-clean-gone-branches`, `ce-resolve-pr-feedback`, `ce-optimize` all do this in slash-invoked skill bodies portably). +- **Where scripts live**: `ce-sessions/scripts/` as the single home (resolved by scope dialogue — `ce-session-inventory` and `ce-session-extract` get deleted; their script directories collapse into the orchestrator skill that now uses them directly). +- **Skill-from-skill-body invocation legitimacy**: Empirically verified — the current session's `/ce-plan` Phase 5.3.8 invoked `Skill(ce-doc-review, "mode:headless ...")` from inside the running ce-plan skill body, and the call resolved cleanly with three reviewer agents dispatched and findings returned. No deadlock, no `Initializing…` hang. This pins down what #794's empirical confirmation table left ambiguous: "main session" includes any non-subagent context, including a currently-executing skill body. +- **Skill-to-skill invocation form**: Use semantic prose ("Invoke the `ce-sessions` skill via the platform's skill-invocation primitive (`Skill` in Claude Code, equivalent on other targets)") per `plan-handoff.md` line 57 and plugin AGENTS.md "Cross-Platform Reference Rules". Literal `Skill(ce-sessions, ...)` syntax in the SKILL.md body would propagate Claude-Code-specific surface to non-Claude targets when the skill ships verbatim through the converters. +- **Inventory through main context vs. files**: Through main context. Inventory output is small (~30-50KB for a real-world session count) and the orchestrator needs to reason over it for selection. Per-session skeleton/errors output bypasses main context entirely via a new `--output PATH` arg added to the extract scripts in U2 — extraction content writes directly to scratch and never round-trips through orchestrator tool results. +- **README skill-count update**: Not required. Counts use `38+` / `50+` `+` suffix (verified via research). `ce-session-inventory` and `ce-session-extract` are not listed in the skill table (agent-facing primitives, intentionally hidden from user-facing inventory). +- **plugin.json description count update**: Not required. All three plugin.json variants (Claude, Cursor, Codex) have count-free descriptions (verified via research). + +### Deferred to Implementation + +- **Scratch file naming convention**: Probably `{session-id}.skeleton.txt` and `{session-id}.errors.txt`, but exact naming is decided when writing `ce-sessions/SKILL.md`. +- **Tail-extract conditional logic placement**: Currently the agent decides whether to follow up `head:200` skeleton with a `tail:50` extract on apparently-incomplete sessions. After the refactor, this judgment lives in ce-sessions (orchestrator). Specific implementation — pre-extract everything proactively, or check head output and re-run for tail — to decide during write. +- **Errors-mode extraction triggering**: Currently the agent decides selectively per session. Either ce-sessions decides upfront and pre-extracts, or the synthesizer signals back what additional extracts it wants. Defer to implementation; simplest path is "ce-sessions extracts skeleton always, errors only when scan window suggests dead-end value" using existing per-session signals. +- **Standalone-mode dispatch path for the synthesis agent**: Per `pass-paths-not-content-to-subagents` precedent, sub-agents should remain dispatchable directly. After dropping conversational mode, decide whether the synthesis agent's body should still document a "no paths block in dispatch → return 'no relevant prior sessions'" fallback. Likely yes (defensive against future direct-dispatch use cases); confirm during write. + +--- + +## Alternative Approaches Considered + +Three architectural shapes were on the table for closing #794. The chosen approach (move all orchestration into `ce-sessions`, reshape the agent to synthesis-only) is the broadest of the three; this section documents why the narrower options were rejected. + +- **Option A — Refactor the agent to invoke scripts directly via Bash from subagent context** (issue #794's "Suggested resolution path 1"). Smallest possible diff: change two `Skill(ce-session-inventory)` and `Skill(ce-session-extract)` calls in the agent body to their underlying `bash scripts/discover-sessions.sh ...` and `python3 scripts/extract-skeleton.py ...` invocations. The agent runs cleanly as a subagent until it hits Skill; Bash from a subagent is unrestricted. **Rejected because**: this option runs into the same script-path-resolution problem we navigated for `ce-sessions`, but without the same answer available. Slash-invoked *skills* have an established sibling-`scripts/` convention (ce-clean-gone-branches, ce-resolve-pr-feedback, ce-optimize) that runtime Bash resolves portably. *Agents* in this plugin do not have an analogous convention — agent files live flat under `agents/` with no sibling `scripts/` dir, and no other agent in the plugin invokes scripts via Bash from its body. To make Option A work, the agent would need either (a) a Claude-Code-only `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` reference (R4 regression), or (b) a new agent-side sidecar-scripts convention (the codex converter's `collectReferencedSidecarDirs` mechanism could carry it, but the rest of the plugin doesn't follow this pattern, so we'd be establishing it for one agent). The chosen approach instead reuses the slash-command `<skill>/scripts/` convention that's already cross-platform-portable and exercised by three existing skills. + +- **Option B — Have the orchestrator pre-fetch inventory and pass it into the subagent's dispatch prompt** (issue #794's "Suggested resolution path 2"). Orchestrator runs `ce-session-inventory` once, includes the JSONL inventory in the historian's dispatch prompt; the historian still does selection + per-session extraction. **Rejected because**: the historian iteratively runs `ce-session-extract` once per selected session (up to 5 calls per run), and each of those is a Skill-tool call in the current architecture — Option B fixes the inventory call but leaves the per-session extract calls hanging on the same subagent-Skill-tool deadlock. Pre-fetching all sessions' extraction content upfront defeats the selection logic (you'd extract sessions before deciding which 5 to deep-dive). The full fix requires moving every Skill-tool call out of subagent context, which is what the chosen approach does. + +- **Option C (chosen) — Move all orchestration into the `ce-sessions` skill (main context); reshape the agent to synthesis-only that reads pre-extracted scratch files.** Closes the deadlock structurally — no Skill-tool call ever originates from subagent context. ce-sessions is itself a slash-command skill, so it inherits the established `<skill>/scripts/` cross-platform-portable invocation pattern. The synthesis-only agent becomes a clean handoff point: receives file paths, reads via native file-read tool, returns prose findings. The breadth of the change is the trade-off — six implementation units versus two for Option A — but each unit is independently meaningful work (script home consolidation, orchestrator promotion, agent simplification, ce-compound delegation refactor, regression test, cleanup of the now-callerless wrapping skills). The forcing function was #794's specific deadlock, but the broader refactor closes other latent issues at the same time: removes two `user-invocable: false` skills that were essentially script holders, simplifies the agent's responsibility surface, and makes the orchestration testable from main context where slash-creator's eval workflow can exercise it. + +A fourth option — **delete the synthesis subagent entirely and have the orchestrator synthesize inline** — was raised in review. Rejected because: with the `--output PATH` arg adopted on extract scripts (U2), the synthesizer's specific value is *context isolation*. Extraction content lands in the synthesizer's subagent context (via Read), not in the orchestrator's context. Deleting the synthesizer would force the orchestrator to Read the scratch files itself, putting all extraction bytes in main-context tool results — exactly the cumulative growth the `--output PATH` change exists to avoid. The synthesizer earns its keep specifically because the file-mediated handoff is clean. + +--- + +## High-Level Technical Design + +> *This illustrates the intended approach and is directional guidance for review, not implementation specification.

After this unit, `/ce-sessions` invoked directly and `ce-sessions` invoked from another skill (e.g., from `ce-compound` Phase 1) both run the new flow. + +**Requirements:** R1, R2, R3, R4 + +**Dependencies:** U1 (scripts must exist at the new location before SKILL.md references them) + +**Files:** +- Modify: `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-sessions/SKILL.md` (full rewrite) +- Modify: `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-sessions/scripts/extract-skeleton.py` (add `--output PATH` arg; when set, write output to the named file instead of stdout, and emit a one-line `{"_meta": ..., "wrote": "<path>", "bytes": N}` status to stdout) +- Modify: `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-sessions/scripts/extract-errors.py` (same `--output PATH` treatment, parallel API) +- Modify: `tests/session-history-scripts.test.ts` (add coverage for the new `--output PATH` mode on both extract scripts: file is written, status line is emitted on stdout, original stdout-mode behavior preserved when flag is omitted) + +**Approach:** +- **Frontmatter:** keep `name: ce-sessions`, update `description` to reflect orchestrator role (longer than current; under 1024 chars per `tests/frontmatter.test.ts`). +- **Pre-resolved git branch** (existing): keep the `!`-backtick `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` line that the current SKILL.md uses; the orchestrator passes branch into selection logic and (when relevant) into the synthesis dispatch prompt. +- **Step 1 — Discover and inventory:** invoke the discover-then-extract-metadata pipeline using the **exact same shape as the current `ce-session-inventory/SKILL.md` line 27-31** — null-delimited xargs hardening preserved verbatim: + ``` + bash scripts/discover-sessions.sh <repo> <days> [--platform <platform>] \ + | tr '\n' '\0' \ + | xargs -0 python3 scripts/extract-metadata.py --cwd-filter <repo> + ``` + The `tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0` segment is load-bearing — it converts newline-delimited file paths to null-delimited args so `extract-metadata.py` runs in batch mode (positional file args). Dropping it would silently regress to single-file stdin mode and produce wrong output. Receive JSONL inventory in main context. Document the time-range mapping table (1 day / 7 days / 30 days / 90 days) ported from the current historian agent so the orchestrator owns scan-window selection. +- **Step 2 — Filter and rank:** port the historian's branch filter, keyword-filter (re-invoke discover/extract pipeline with `--keyword K1,K2,...`), scan-window enforcement, current-session exclusion, and top-5 deep-dive cap into the orchestrator. Same logic, different host. +- **Step 3 — Scratch dir:** `mktemp -d -t ce-sessions-XXXXXX` → capture absolute path; thread into Step 4 and Step 5. +- **Step 4 — Per-session extraction (file-mediated, no stdout round-trip):** for each selected session, invoke the extraction scripts with their new `--output` flag so content writes directly to the scratch file: + ``` + python3 scripts/extract-skeleton.py --output "$SCRATCH/{session-id}.skeleton.txt" < <file> + ``` + The script returns only a short status line on stdout (bytes written, parse errors); the bulk extraction content never lands in main-context tool results. Conditional tail extract and errors extract (also `--output`-aware) follow the existing historian heuristics. The new `--output` flag is additive — when omitted, scripts behave exactly as before, preserving existing test coverage and any manual / agent-driven invocations. +- **Step 5 — Dispatch synthesis subagent:** dispatch `ce-session-historian` via the platform's subagent primitive (omit `mode` parameter so user permission settings apply). Pass: problem topic, scratch dir absolute path, list of `{path, platform, branch, ts, ...}` per selected session, output schema. Run on the mid-tier model (e.g., `model: "sonnet"` in Claude Code) per the existing dispatch convention. +- **Step 6 — Return findings:** return the synthesizer's text output to the caller verbatim, or "no relevant prior sessions" when discovery / keyword filter returns zero. + +**Execution note:** SKILL.md changes are not directly testable by `bun test` — use `/skill-creator` per AGENTS.md ("Validating Agent and Skill Changes") to evaluate behavior against the test scenarios below. + +**Patterns to follow:** +- `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-clean-gone-branches/SKILL.md` lines 14-22 — bash script invocation with `__NONE__` sentinel handling pattern. +- `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-demo-reel/SKILL.md` lines 109-117 — `mktemp -d -t <prefix>-XXXXXX` per-run-throwaway pattern. +- `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-plan/references/deepening-workflow.md` lines 170-177 — capture absolute scratch path; thread it into a subagent dispatch prompt. +- Cross-platform user-interaction blocks per repo AGENTS.md "Cross-Platform User Interaction" section (when ce-sessions asks for the question if invoked without args — current SKILL.md already handles this). + +**Test scenarios:** +- Happy path: invoke `/ce-sessions "did we decide where notification mute state lives"` against a fixture-backed Claude Code session store → orchestrator runs discover + extract-metadata, picks ≤ 5 sessions, extracts skeletons to scratch via `--output`, dispatches synthesizer → returns prose findings. +- Edge case (Empty inventory): no session files in scan window → orchestrator returns "no relevant prior sessions" without dispatching synthesizer or creating scratch dir. +- Edge case (Zero keyword matches): branch filter returns zero, keyword filter returns `files_matched: 0` → orchestrator returns "no relevant prior sessions" without dispatching synthesizer. +- Edge case (Scan widening): narrow scan returns zero, request implies longer history → orchestrator widens window per the time-range table, re-invokes discover, retries selection. +- Error path (Parse errors): inventory `_meta` reports `parse_errors > 0` → orchestrator notes partial in the dispatch prompt and proceeds; synthesizer flags partial in findings. +- Error path (Script `--output` write fails): scratch path unwriteable (disk full, permission) → script returns non-zero, orchestrator surfaces clear error to user, does not dispatch synthesizer. +- Integration (No subagent Skill calls): grep the runtime trace — no `Skill(...)` tool call originates from the dispatched historian. +- Integration (Skill primitive from skill body): invoking `ce-sessions` from inside `ce-compound`'s skill body via the platform's skill-invocation primitive returns findings text without hanging. Already empirically validated by the current `ce-plan → ce-doc-review` invocation path; this scenario locks the verification in for ce-compound's specific call-site. +- Integration (Script invocation from runtime Bash): `bash scripts/discover-sessions.sh` and `python3 scripts/extract-skeleton.py --output ...` resolve correctly when ce-sessions runs as a slash-invoked skill on a marketplace-cached install (not `--plugin-dir`). This addresses the contradiction between repo-root AGENTS.md ("relative paths resolve to skill dir on all platforms") and plugin AGENTS.md "Permission gate" ("runtime Bash CWD is user's project, not skill dir"). +- Cumulative context check: invoke `/ce-sessions` against a 5-session fixture → after run completes, the orchestrator's tool-result bytes attributable to extraction content are bounded by the script status lines (a few hundred bytes total), not the skeleton/errors content itself. + +**Verification:** +- `/skill-creator` eval against the test scenarios above passes. +- `bun test tests/frontmatter.test.ts` passes (description length, ce- prefix, no angle brackets, etc.). +- `bun test tests/skill-shell-safety.test.ts` passes (any new `!`-backtick pre-resolution lines are safety-compliant). +- `bun test tests/session-history-scripts.test.ts` covers both stdout-mode (existing behavior) and `--output PATH` mode for the modified extract scripts. +- **Marketplace-install smoke test** (manual): on a fresh install via `/plugin install` (not `--plugin-dir`), invoke `/ce-sessions "what did we work on this week"` and confirm the orchestrator's `bash scripts/...` invocations resolve. If they fail with `No such file or directory`, the cross-platform-portable-relative-path assumption is wrong and the architecture must shift to `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` + pinned `allowed-tools` (Claude-Code-only path; treats R4 as a known regression). Fail-fast is preferable to shipping a broken release. + +--- + +### U3. Refactor `ce-session-historian.agent.md` to synthesis-only + +**Goal:** Strip the agent down to synthesis: it receives problem topic + extracted file paths in the dispatch prompt, reads files via the native file-read tool (Read in Claude Code), and returns prose findings per the existing output schema. All `Skill(...)` invocations and orchestration logic (discovery, selection, extraction primitives, time-range mapping) are removed — those now live in `ce-sessions`. + +**Requirements:** R1, R2, R3 + +**Dependencies:** U2 (the orchestrator's dispatch shape determines the agent's input contract; they must agree) + +**Files:** +- Modify: `plugins/compound-engineering/agents/ce-session-historian.agent.md` (substantial rewrite) + +**Approach:** +- **Drop:** the "Extraction Primitives" section (lines 100-108), the "Methodology" Steps 1 / 3 / 4 / 5 (orchestration now in ce-sessions), the time-range mapping table, the branch-filter and keyword-filter rules, the deep-dive cap, and all `Skill(ce-session-inventory)` / `Skill(ce-session-extract)` / "Invoke them through the Skill tool" prose. +- **Drop:** the "two modes" framing (compound enrichment + conversational) at lines 11-13 — no actual caller dispatches the agent in a mode that bypasses the orchestrator. Single-purpose framing replaces it. +- **Keep:** the Guardrails section (no thinking-block leakage, never read whole session files into context, technical content not personal content, fail-fast on access errors). +- **Keep:** Step 6's synthesis methodology (Investigation journey, User corrections, Decisions and rationale, Error patterns, Evolution across sessions, Cross-tool blind spots, Staleness caveat). +- **Keep:** the output format (caller-supplied schema honored; default header line otherwise). +- **Add:** input-contract section documenting the dispatch prompt shape — `{problem_topic, scratch_dir, [{path, platform, branch?, ts, ...}], output_schema}`. Agent reads each `path` using the native file-read tool; never reads source session files directly. +- **Add:** standalone fallback per `docs/solutions/skill-design/pass-paths-not-content-to-subagents-2026-03-26.md` — when dispatch prompt arrives without paths, return "no relevant prior sessions" rather than attempting any Skill or Bash discovery (defensive against future direct-dispatch). + +**Execution note:** Use `/skill-creator` for behavioral testing per AGENTS.md. The plugin agent definition caches at session start, so iterative testing requires either skill-creator's content-injection workflow or a fresh session. + +**Patterns to follow:** +- `docs/solutions/skill-design/compound-refresh-skill-improvements.md` Solution #5 — subagents use native file-read tools, not shell. +- Output schema prose (default and caller-supplied) — port verbatim from current agent's Output section. + +**Test scenarios:** +- Happy path: dispatch prompt with problem topic + 3 valid scratch paths → agent reads each via Read, synthesizes per output schema, returns prose findings within time budget. +- Edge case (Empty paths): dispatch prompt with empty paths array → agent returns "no relevant prior sessions" without invoking any tools. +- Edge case (Caller-supplied schema): dispatch prompt names a custom output schema → agent honors that schema verbatim, omits its own header. +- Error path (Unreadable file): one path returns Read error → agent notes partial extraction, synthesizes from the rest. +- Integration (No Skill calls): trace agent's tool-call list — no `Skill(...)` calls. Caught by U5 regression test. +- Integration (Cross-tool synthesis): paths span Claude Code + Codex + Cursor → synthesis includes Cross-tool blind spots when genuinely informative. + +**Verification:** +- Static: agent file does not contain `Skill(ce-session-inventory)`, `Skill(ce-session-extract)`, or "Invoke them through the Skill tool" prose. Locked in by U5. +- `/skill-creator` eval covers the test scenarios above. + +--- + +### U4. Update `ce-compound/SKILL.md` Phase 1 to delegate to `ce-sessions` via the skill-invocation primitive + +**Goal:** Replace the direct historian-dispatch block in `ce-compound` Phase 1 with a delegation to the `ce-sessions` skill, invoked via the platform's skill-invocation primitive.

The new ordering: **launch the three background research subagents first; then issue the skill-invocation primitive call to `ce-sessions`.** The skill call is synchronous from `ce-compound`'s main-context turn (it blocks until ce-sessions returns), but the already-dispatched background subagents continue running in parallel underneath — so the wall-clock benefit is preserved even though the concurrency primitive shifted from "foreground subagent" to "synchronous skill call." Document this rationale inline in the rewritten Phase 1 prose so future refactors don't re-invert it. +- **Carry the dispatch payload forward**: pre-resolved branch (already pre-resolved at lines 25-27), problem topic (one sentence per existing dispatch shape), explicit time window (default 7 days), and the existing single-line filter rule. ce-sessions parses these out of the skill argument string. +- **Preserve Phase 1 contract** per `pass-paths-not-content-to-subagents-2026-03-26.md` and ce-pipeline-end-to-end-learnings: + - Conditional invocation (skip when user declined session history; skipped entirely in lightweight mode) — preserved. + - Text-only return — preserved. + - Fold-into-doc behavior in Phase 2 (sections 222-227 of current SKILL.md) — unchanged. + +**Patterns to follow:** +- `plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-plan/references/plan-handoff.md` line 57 — the canonical semantic-prose form for one skill invoking another.

Do not retry the same operation with different tools or approaches — repeated retries waste tokens without changing the outcome. -- **Never extract a session to verify whether it is relevant.** `ce-session-extract` is for sessions whose relevance is already confirmed. Before invoking it on any session, you MUST have at least one of: (a) the session's `branch` field matches the dispatch branch (Claude Code), (b) the session's branch contains a keyword from the dispatch's problem topic, or (c) `ce-session-inventory --keyword K1,K2,...` returned `match_count > 0` for that session. If you are tempted to "extract to check content" — that is what `--keyword` is for. Run the keyword filter first; if it returns zero matches, return "no relevant prior sessions" without extracting anything. ## Time budget -**Stop as soon as you have a complete answer.** A confident "no relevant prior sessions" within seconds is a complete answer; do not extend the search to fill time.

Do not chase additional candidates "just in case." - -The structural caps in Step 3 (max 5 deep-dives) and Step 4 (conditional tail-extract) bound runtime by construction — trust them rather than picking up speculative work. There is no minute target; the right runtime is whatever the evidence allows. - -## Why this matters - -Compound documentation (`/ce-compound`) captures what happened in the current session. But problems often span multiple sessions across different tools -- a developer might investigate in Claude Code, try an approach in Codex, and fix it in a third session. Each session only sees its own conversation. This agent bridges that gap by searching across all session history. - -## Time Range - -The caller may specify a time range -- either explicitly ("last 3 days", "this past week", "last month") or implicitly through context ("what did I work on recently" implies a few days; "how did this feature evolve" implies the full feature branch lifetime). - -Infer the time range from the request and map it to a scan window. **Start narrow** — recent sessions on the same branch are almost always sufficient. Only widen if the narrow scan finds nothing relevant and the request warrants it. - -| Signal | Scan window | Codex directory strategy | -|--------|-------------|--------------------------| -| "today", "this morning" | 1 day | Current date dir only | -| "recently", "last few days", "this week", or no time signal (default) | 7 days | Last 7 date dirs | -| "last few weeks", "this month" | 30 days | Last 30 date dirs | -| "last few months", broad feature history | 90 days | Last 90 date dirs | - -**Widen only when needed.** If the initial scan finds related sessions, stop there. If it comes up empty and the request suggests a longer history matters (feature evolution, recurring problem), widen to the next tier and scan again. Do not jump straight to 30 or 90 days — step through the tiers one at a time. - -**When widening the time window**, re-invoke `ce-session-inventory` with the larger `<days>` argument. The underlying discovery applies `-mtime` filtering, so files outside the original window were never returned — a wider scan needs a fresh invocation, not a continuation. - -**For Codex**, sessions are in date directories. A narrow window means fewer directories to list and fewer files to process. - -## Session Sources - -Search Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor session history. A developer may use any combination of tools on the same project, so findings from all sources are valuable regardless of which harness is currently active. - -### Claude Code - -Sessions stored at `~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/<session-id>.jsonl`, where `<encoded-cwd>` replaces `/` with `-` in the working directory path (e.g., `/Users/alice/Code/my-project` becomes `-Users-alice-Code-my-project`). Claude Code retains session history for ~30 days by default. Wider scan tiers (90 days) may find nothing unless the user has extended retention. Codex and Cursor may retain longer. - -Key message types: -- `type: "user"` -- Human messages. First user message includes `gitBranch` and `cwd` metadata. -- `type: "assistant"` -- Claude responses. `content` array contains `thinking`, `text`, and `tool_use` blocks. -- Tool results appear as `type: "user"` messages with `content[].type: "tool_result"`. - -### Codex - -Sessions stored at `~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/<session-file>.jsonl`, organized by date. Also check `~/.agents/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/` as Codex may migrate to this location. - -Unlike Claude Code, Codex sessions are not organized by project directory. Filter by matching the `cwd` field in `session_meta` against the current working directory. - -Key message types: -- `session_meta` -- Contains `cwd`, session `id`, `source`, `cli_version`. -- `turn_context` -- Contains `cwd`, `model`, `current_date`. -- `event_msg/user_message` -- User message text. -- `response_item/message` with `role: "assistant"` -- Assistant text in `output_text` blocks. -- `event_msg/exec_command_end` -- Command execution results with exit codes. -- Codex does not store git branch in session metadata.

Same CWD-encoding as Claude Code. - -Limitations compared to Claude Code and Codex: -- No timestamps in the JSONL — file modification date is the only time signal. -- No git branch, session ID, or CWD metadata in the data — derived from directory structure. -- No tool results logged — tool calls are captured but not their outcomes (no success/fail signal). -- `[REDACTED]` markers appear where Cursor stripped thinking/reasoning content. - -Key message types: -- `role: "user"` -- User messages.

These reveal what NOT to do and why. +- **Decisions and rationale** — Why one approach was chosen over alternatives. +- **Error patterns** — Recurring errors across sessions (most visible when the orchestrator supplied an `errors_path` for a session) that indicate a systemic issue. +- **Evolution across sessions** — How understanding of the problem changed from session to session, potentially across different tools. +- **Cross-tool blind spots** — When sessions span Claude Code + Codex + Cursor, look for things the user might not realize from any single tool alone. Complementary work (one tool tackled the schema while the other tackled the API), duplicated effort (same approach tried in both tools days apart), or gaps (neither tool's sessions touched a component that connects the work). Only call out cross-tool observations when genuinely informative — if both sources tell the same story, there's nothing to flag. +- **Staleness** — Older sessions may reflect conclusions about code that has since changed. When surfacing findings from sessions more than a few days old, consider whether the relevant code or context is likely to have moved on. Caveat older findings rather than presenting them with the same confidence as recent ones. -## Methodology +Cite actual evidence from the extracted files, not vibe-summaries. When a finding is anchored in a specific session's content, that session's metadata (platform, branch/cwd, ts) helps the caller locate it. -### Step 1: Determine scope and discover sessions - -**Scope decision.** Two dimensions to resolve before scanning: - -- **Project scope**: Default to the current project. Widen to all projects only when the question explicitly asks. -- **Platform scope**: Default to all platforms (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor). Narrow to a single platform when the question specifies one. If unclear on either dimension, use the default. - -Determine the scan window from the Time Range table above, then discover and extract metadata. - -**Derive the repo name** using a worktree-safe approach: `git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir` always returns an absolute path to the main repo's `.git`, so `basename "$(dirname "$common")"` yields the same value in regular checkouts and in linked worktrees. Guard against empty output (e.g., not inside a repo) so the failure path stays empty rather than a literal `.`. Example: `common=$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir 2>/dev/null) && [ -n "$common" ] && basename "$(dirname "$common")"`. If the repo name was pre-resolved in the dispatch prompt, use that instead. - -**Discover sessions and gather metadata via `ce-session-inventory`.** Invoke the skill with `<repo-name> <days>` (or add a `<platform>` arg to restrict to a single platform). The skill handles directory discovery, mtime filtering, zsh glob safety, and Codex CWD filtering internally, and returns one JSON object per session plus a `_meta` line. - -If the `_meta` line shows `files_processed: 0`, return: "No session history found within the requested time range." If `parse_errors > 0`, note that some sessions could not be parsed. - -### Step 3: Select sessions to deep-dive (or stop) - -A session being returned by `ce-session-inventory` only confirms it lives in the same repo (or matches the CWD filter for Codex). Same-repo is **not** the same as same-topic — repo membership is necessary, never sufficient. Follow this exact decision sequence after inventory returns: - -1. **Branch filter (Claude Code only).** Keep sessions where `branch == dispatch_branch` exactly, or where the branch name contains a keyword from the dispatch's problem topic (e.g., dispatch about "auth middleware" matches branches `feat/auth-fix`, `chore/auth-refactor`). For Codex (no `gitBranch`), this filter is empty — proceed to step 2. - -2. **If the branch filter returned zero sessions** (or you are processing Codex sessions): - - **a.** Derive 2-4 keywords from the dispatch's problem topic. For "a recent crash in the auth middleware where session-validation rejects valid tokens," derive `auth,middleware,session,token` (or similar). - - **b.** Invoke `ce-session-inventory` a second time with `<repo> <days> --keyword K1,K2,...`. The skill returns sessions with non-zero `match_count` plus per-keyword counts. - - **c.** **If `files_matched: 0`, return "no relevant prior sessions" immediately. Do not invoke `ce-session-extract`. STOP.** - - **d.** If `files_matched > 0`, treat those sessions as the candidate list. Rank by `match_count`, break ties by per-keyword counts. - -3. **Drop sessions outside the scan window before selecting.** A session is within the window if it was active during that period — use `last_ts` when available, fall back to `ts`. Discard sessions where both fall before the window start. - -4. **Exclude the current session** — its conversation history is already available to the caller. - -5. **Apply the deep-dive cap.** From the candidates remaining after the window and current-session filters, take at most **5 sessions total across all platforms**. If you have more, narrow by branch-match → `match_count` → file size > 30KB → recency. - -6. **Proceed to Step 4 only if you have at least one selected session.** If zero candidates remain after dropping out-of-window and the current session, return "no relevant prior sessions" and STOP. - -Do **not** roll your own per-file `grep -l` calls — step 2 (the `--keyword` mode) replaces that pattern. - -**Note: `gitBranch` is captured at the first user message only.** A session that began on `main` and did substantive work on a feature branch via mid-session `git checkout` records `branch: "main"`. Branch-match returning nothing is **not** conclusive evidence of "no prior history" — that is exactly why step 2 is required in the zero-branch-match case. - -Prefer sessions that are: -- Strongly correlated (same branch) -- Topically dense (high `match_count` when keyword-filtering was used) -- Substantive (file size > 30KB suggests meaningful work) - -### Step 4: Extract conversation skeleton - -**Only run this step if Step 3 produced one or more selected sessions.** If Step 3 returned "no relevant prior sessions" and stopped, skip Step 4 entirely — do not extract any session for any reason, including "to verify." - -For each selected session, invoke `ce-session-extract` with mode `skeleton` and limit `head:200`. Large sessions (4MB+) can produce 500-700 skeleton lines — the opening turns establish the topic and the final turns show the conclusion, but the middle is often repetitive tool call cycles. 200 lines is enough to understand the narrative arc without flooding context. - -**Tail extraction is conditional, not default.** Only invoke `ce-session-extract` again with `tail:50` when the `head:200` output appears to terminate mid-investigation (e.g., last visible turn is a tool call with no resolution, or the assistant is mid-debugging without a conclusion). If `head:200` already shows the session reaching a conclusion or running out of substantive activity, do not run a second extract — the head covers it. - -### Step 5: Extract error signals (selective) - -For sessions where investigation dead-ends are likely valuable, invoke `ce-session-extract` with mode `errors`. Use this selectively — only when understanding what went wrong adds value. - -### Step 6: Synthesize findings - -Reason over the extracted conversation skeletons and error signals from both sources. +## Output -Look for: +If the dispatch prompt supplies an `output_schema`, follow it verbatim.

This might be specific edge cases, additional prevention rules, or alternative debugging approaches. -3. **Merge unique content** into the canonical doc in a natural location. Do not just append — integrate it where it logically belongs. If the unique content is small (a bullet point, a sentence), inline it. If it is a substantial sub-topic, add it as a clearly labeled section. -4. **Update cross-references** — if any other docs reference the subsumed doc, update those references to point to the canonical doc. -5. **Delete the subsumed doc.** Do not archive it, do not add redirect metadata — just delete the file.

The subagent writes the new learning using the support files as the source of truth: `references/schema.yaml` for frontmatter fields and enum values, `references/yaml-schema.md` for category mapping and YAML-safety rules for array items, and `assets/resolution-template.md` for section order. It should use dedicated file search and read tools if it needs additional context beyond what was passed. -3. **Run `python3 scripts/validate-frontmatter.py <new-learning-path>`** to catch silent-corruption parser-safety issues that the prose rules miss: malformed `---` delimiter lines, unquoted ` #` in scalar values (silent comment truncation), and unquoted `: ` in scalar values (silent mapping confusion). Exit 0 means the doc is parser-safe; exit 1 means the script's stderr names the offending field(s) and what to fix — quote the value(s), re-write the doc, and re-run until exit 0. Do not declare success while validation fails. The script does not enforce schema rules and does not flag YAML reserved-indicator characters (those produce loud parser errors downstream rather than silent corruption — out of scope). Uses Python 3 stdlib only (no PyYAML or other deps). -4. After the subagent completes, the orchestrator deletes the old learning file. The new learning's frontmatter may include `supersedes: [old learning filename]` for traceability, but this is optional — the git history and commit message provide the same information. - -**When evidence is insufficient:** - -1.

Process Consolidate candidates by topic cluster. For each cluster identified in Phase 1.75: + +1. **Confirm the canonical doc** — the broader, more current, more accurate doc in the cluster. +2. **Extract unique content** from the subsumed doc(s) — anything the canonical doc does not already cover. This might be specific edge cases, additional prevention rules, or alternative debugging approaches. +3. **Merge unique content** into the canonical doc in a natural location. Do not just append — integrate it where it logically belongs. If the unique content is small (a bullet point, a sentence), inline it. If it is a substantial sub-topic, add it as a clearly labeled section. +4. **Update cross-references** — if any other docs reference the subsumed doc, update those references to point to the canonical doc. +5. **Delete the subsumed doc.** Do not archive it, do not add redirect metadata — just delete the file. Git history preserves it. + +If a doc cluster has 3+ overlapping docs, process pairwise: consolidate the two most overlapping docs first, then evaluate whether the merged result should be consolidated with the next doc. + +**Structural edits beyond merge:** Consolidate also covers the reverse case. If one doc has grown unwieldy and covers multiple distinct problems that would benefit from separate retrieval, it is valid to recommend splitting it. Only do this when the sub-topics are genuinely independent and a maintainer might search for one without needing the other. + +## Replace Flow + +Process Replace candidates **one at a time, sequentially**. Each replacement is written by a subagent to protect the main context window. + +When a replacement is needed, read the documentation contract files and pass their contents into the replacement subagent's task prompt: + +- `references/schema.yaml` — frontmatter fields and enum values +- `references/yaml-schema.md` — category mapping +- `assets/resolution-template.md` — section structure + +Do not let replacement subagents invent frontmatter fields, enum values, or section order from memory. + +**When evidence is sufficient:** + +1. Spawn a single subagent to write the replacement learning. Pass it: + - The old learning's full content + - A summary of the investigation evidence (what changed, what the current code does, why the old guidance is misleading) + - The target path and category (same category as the old learning unless the category itself changed) + - The relevant contents of the three support files listed above +2. The subagent writes the new learning using the support files as the source of truth: `references/schema.yaml` for frontmatter fields and enum values, `references/yaml-schema.md` for category mapping and YAML-safety rules for array items, and `assets/resolution-template.md` for section order. It should use dedicated file search and read tools if it needs additional context beyond what was passed. +3. **Run `python3 scripts/validate-frontmatter.py <new-learning-path>`** to catch silent-corruption parser-safety issues that the prose rules miss: malformed `---` delimiter lines, unquoted ` #` in scalar values (silent comment truncation), and unquoted `: ` in scalar values (silent mapping confusion). Exit 0 means the doc is parser-safe; exit 1 means the script's stderr names the offending field(s) and what to fix — quote the value(s), re-write the doc, and re-run until exit 0. Do not declare success while validation fails. The script does not enforce schema rules and does not flag YAML reserved-indicator characters (those produce loud parser errors downstream rather than silent corruption — out of scope). Uses Python 3 stdlib only (no PyYAML or other deps). +4. After the subagent completes, the orchestrator deletes the old learning file.

Cross-Invocation Cluster Analysis (Gated) - -Before planning and dispatching fixes, check whether the same concern has appeared across multiple review rounds — evidence of a recurring pattern that warrants broader investigation rather than another surgical fix. - -**Gate check (two stages)**: Both must pass, or skip to step 4. - -1. **Signal stage**: `cross_invocation.signal == true` in the script output — resolved threads exist alongside new ones. First-round reviews always fail this stage. -2. **Spatial-overlap precheck**: at least one new `review_thread` shares an exact file path or directory subtree with a thread in `cross_invocation.resolved_threads`. The signal alone only means multi-round review exists; it is not itself evidence that recurring feedback has landed in the same area. This precheck compares paths only — no category inference, no LLM calls — so the false-positive tax is cheap. Skip this stage if the script output lacks file paths on resolved threads; in that case the signal stage governs alone. - -Only inline `review_threads` participate in the precheck. `pr_comments` and `review_bodies` have no file paths and cannot contribute to spatial overlap; they are always dispatched individually regardless of clustering. - -Single-round clustering (grouping new-only threads by theme + proximity within one review) is deliberately not performed: the evidence is too thin to justify holistic fixes and the false-positive rate is high. First-round "one helper would fix all of these" opportunities are handled as individual fixes until repeated reviewer evidence promotes the pattern into cross-invocation mode. - -**If both gate stages pass**, analyze feedback for thematic clusters that span new threads and previously-resolved threads. Include resolved threads from `cross_invocation.resolved_threads` alongside new threads in the analysis. Mark prior-resolved threads as `previously_resolved` so dispatch (step 5) knows not to individually re-resolve them. - -1. **Assign concern categories** from this fixed list: `error-handling`, `validation`, `type-safety`, `naming`, `performance`, `testing`, `security`, `documentation`, `style`, `architecture`, `other`. Each item (new and previously-resolved) gets exactly one category based on what the feedback is about. - -2. **Group by category + spatial proximity, requiring cross-round evidence**. Two items form a potential cluster when they share a concern category AND are spatially proximate (same file, or files in the same directory subtree). A cluster must contain **at least one previously-resolved thread** — a new-only group lacks cross-round evidence and is dispatched individually. - - | Thematic match | Spatial proximity | Contains prior-resolved? | Action | - |---|---|---|---| - | Same category | Same file or subtree | Yes | Cluster | - | Same category | Same file or subtree | No (new-only) | No cluster | - | Same category | Unrelated locations | Any | No cluster | - | Different categories | Any | Any | No cluster | - -3. **Synthesize a cluster brief** for each cluster. Pass briefs to agents using a `<cluster-brief>` XML block: - - ```xml - <cluster-brief> - <theme>[concern category]</theme> - <area>[common directory path]</area> - <files>[comma-separated file paths]</files> - <threads>[comma-separated new thread/comment IDs]</threads> - <hypothesis>[one sentence: what the recurring feedback across rounds suggests about a deeper issue]</hypothesis> - <prior-resolutions> - <thread id="PRRT_..." path="..." category="..."/> - </prior-resolutions> - </cluster-brief> - ``` - - The `<prior-resolutions>` element is always present and lists the previously-resolved threads in the cluster — their IDs, file paths, and concern categories. This gives the resolver agent the full cross-round picture. - -4. **Items not in any cluster** remain as individual items and are dispatched normally in step 5. Previously-resolved threads that don't cluster with any new thread are dropped — they provided context but no cross-round pattern was found. - -5. **If no clusters are found** after analysis (the signal fired but no new thread clustered with a prior-resolved thread), proceed with all items as individual. The only cost was the analysis itself. - -### 4. Plan - -Create a task list of all **new** unresolved items grouped by type (e.g., `TaskCreate` in Claude Code, `update_plan` in Codex): -- Code changes requested -- Questions to answer -- Style/convention fixes -- Test additions needed - -If step 3 produced clusters, include them in the task list as cluster items alongside individual items. - -### 5. Implement (PARALLEL) - -Process all three feedback types. Review threads are the primary type; PR comments and review bodies are secondary but should not be ignored. - -#### Dispatch boundary for previously-resolved threads - -Previously-resolved threads (from `cross_invocation.resolved_threads`) participate in clustering and appear in cluster briefs as `<prior-resolutions>` context. They are NEVER individually dispatched — they were already resolved in prior rounds. Only new threads get individual or cluster dispatch. - -#### Individual dispatch (default) - -**For review threads** (`review_threads`): Spawn a `ce-pr-comment-resolver` agent for each new thread that is NOT already assigned to a cluster from step 3. Clustered threads are handled by cluster dispatch below -- do not dispatch them individually. - -Each agent receives: -- The thread ID -- The file path and location fields: `line`, `originalLine`, `startLine`, `originalStartLine` (any can be null; outdated and file-level threads often have `line == null` and must fall back to `originalLine`) -- The full comment text (all comments in the thread) -- The PR number (for context) -- The feedback type (`review_thread`) -- The `isOutdated` flag from the thread node (tells the agent the reported line may have drifted) - -**For PR comments and review bodies** (`pr_comments`, `review_bodies`): These lack file/line context. Spawn a `ce-pr-comment-resolver` agent for each actionable non-clustered item. The agent receives the comment ID, body text, PR number, and feedback type (`pr_comment` or `review_body`). The agent must identify the relevant files from the comment text and the PR diff. - -#### Cluster dispatch - -For each cluster identified in step 3, dispatch ONE `ce-pr-comment-resolver` agent that receives: -- The `<cluster-brief>` XML block -- All thread details for threads in the cluster (IDs, file paths, line numbers, comment text) -- The PR number -- The feedback types - -The cluster agent reads the broader area before making targeted fixes. It returns one summary per thread it handled (same structure as individual agents), plus a `cluster_assessment` field describing what broader investigation revealed and whether a holistic or individual approach was taken. - -#### Agent return format - -Each agent returns a short summary: -- **verdict**: `fixed`, `fixed-differently`, `replied`, `not-addressing`, `declined`, or `needs-human` -- **feedback_id**: the thread ID or comment ID it handled -- **feedback_type**: `review_thread`, `pr_comment`, or `review_body` -- **reply_text**: the markdown reply to post (quoting the relevant part of the original feedback) -- **files_changed**: list of files modified (empty if replied/not-addressing) -- **reason**: brief explanation of what was done or why it was skipped - -Cluster agents additionally return: -- **cluster_assessment**: what the broader investigation found, whether a holistic or individual approach was taken - -Verdict meanings: -- `fixed` -- code change made as requested -- `fixed-differently` -- code change made, but with a better approach than suggested -- `replied` -- no code change needed; answered a question, acknowledged feedback, or explained a design decision -- `not-addressing` -- feedback is factually wrong about the code; skip with evidence -- `declined` -- observation may be valid, but implementing the suggested fix would actively make the code worse; reply cites the specific harm -- `needs-human` -- cannot determine the right action; needs user decision - -#### Batching and conflict avoidance - -**Batching**: Clusters count as 1 dispatch unit regardless of how many threads they contain. If there are 1-4 dispatch units total (clusters + individual items), dispatch all in parallel. For 5+ dispatch units, batch in groups of 4. - -**Conflict avoidance**: No two dispatch units that touch the same file should run in parallel. Before dispatching, check for file overlaps across all dispatch units (clusters and individual items). If a cluster's file list overlaps with an individual item's file, or with another cluster's files, serialize those units -- dispatch one, wait for it to complete, then dispatch the next. Non-overlapping units can still run in parallel. Within a single dispatch unit handling multiple threads on the same file, the agent addresses them sequentially. - -**Sequential fallback**: Platforms that do not support parallel dispatch should run agents sequentially. Dispatch cluster units first (they are higher-leverage), then individual items. - -Fixes can occasionally expand beyond their referenced file (e.g., renaming a method updates callers elsewhere). This is rare but can cause parallel agents to collide. Step 6 (combined validation) catches test breakage; step 9 (verify) catches unresolved threads. If either surfaces inconsistent changes from parallel fixes, re-run the affected agents sequentially. - -### 6. Validate Combined State - -After all agents complete, aggregate `files_changed` across every returned summary (individual and cluster alike). If it's empty -- all verdicts are `replied`, `not-addressing`, `declined`, or `needs-human` -- skip steps 6 and 7 entirely and proceed to step 8. - -Resolvers run only targeted tests on their own changes. This step runs the project's full validation **once** against the combined diff to catch cross-agent interactions that targeted runs can't see. - -1. **Run the project's validation command** (test suite, type check, or whatever the repo's AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md specifies). Run once, not per-agent. - -2. **Green** -> proceed to step 7. - -3. **Red, failures touch files resolvers changed** -> one inline diagnose-and-fix pass. Re-run validation. If still red, escalate with a `needs-human` item containing the test output; do **not** commit. - -4. **Red, failures touch only files no resolver changed** -> treat as pre-existing. Proceed to step 7, but add a footer to the commit message: `Note: pre-existing failure in <test> not addressed by this PR.` - -Record the validation outcome (command run, pass/fail counts, any pre-existing failures noted) for the step 10 summary. +After determining mode, read the matching reference and follow it. Each reference is self-contained for that mode's flow: -### 7. Commit and Push - -1. Stage only files reported by sub-agents and commit with a message referencing the PR: - -```bash -git add [files from agent summaries] -git commit -m "Address PR review feedback (#PR_NUMBER) - -- [list changes from agent summaries]" -``` - -2. Push to remote: -```bash -git push -``` - -### 8. Reply and Resolve - -After the push succeeds, post replies and resolve where applicable. The mechanism depends on the feedback type. - -#### Reply format - -All replies should quote the relevant part of the original feedback for continuity. Quote the specific sentence or passage being addressed, not the entire comment if it's long. - -For fixed items: -```markdown -> [quoted relevant part of original feedback] - -Addressed: [brief description of the fix] -``` - -For items not addressed: -```markdown -> [quoted relevant part of original feedback] - -Not addressing: [reason with evidence, e.g., "null check already exists at line 85"] -``` - -For declined items: -```markdown -> [quoted relevant part of original feedback] - -Declined: [specific harm cited, e.g., "this would add a defensive null check the type system already guarantees" or "violates the no-premature-abstraction guidance in CLAUDE.md"] -``` - -For `needs-human` verdicts, post the reply but do NOT resolve the thread. Leave it open for human input. - -#### Review threads - -1. **Reply** using [scripts/reply-to-pr-thread](scripts/reply-to-pr-thread): -```bash -echo "REPLY_TEXT" | bash scripts/reply-to-pr-thread THREAD_ID -``` - -2. **Resolve** using [scripts/resolve-pr-thread](scripts/resolve-pr-thread): -```bash -bash scripts/resolve-pr-thread THREAD_ID -``` - -#### PR comments and review bodies - -These cannot be resolved via GitHub's API. Reply with a top-level PR comment referencing the original: - -```bash -gh pr comment PR_NUMBER --body "REPLY_TEXT" -``` - -Include enough quoted context in the reply so the reader can follow which comment is being addressed without scrolling. - -### 9. Verify - -Re-fetch feedback to confirm resolution: - -```bash -bash scripts/get-pr-comments PR_NUMBER -``` - -The `review_threads` array should be empty (except `needs-human` items). - -**If new threads remain**, check the iteration count for this run: - -- **First or second fix-verify cycle**: Repeat from step 2 for the remaining threads. The re-fetch in step 1 will pick up threads resolved in earlier cycles as resolved threads in `cross_invocation`, so the cross-invocation gate (step 3) will fire naturally if patterns emerge across cycles. - -- **After the second fix-verify cycle** (3rd pass would begin): Stop looping. Surface remaining issues to the user with context about the recurring pattern: "Multiple rounds of feedback on [area/theme] suggest a deeper issue. Here's what we've fixed so far and what keeps appearing." Use the same `needs-human` escalation pattern -- leave threads open and present the pattern for the user to decide. - -PR comments and review bodies have no resolve mechanism, so they will still appear in the output. Verify they were replied to by checking the PR conversation. - -### 10. Summary - -Present a concise summary of all work done. Group by verdict, one line per item describing *what was done* not just *where*. This is the primary output the user sees. - -Format: - -``` -Resolved N of M new items on PR #NUMBER: - -Fixed (count): [brief description of each fix] -Fixed differently (count): [what was changed and why the approach differed] -Replied (count): [what questions were answered] -Not addressing (count): [what was skipped and why] -Declined (count): [what was declined and the harm cited] - -Validation: [one line -- e.g., "bun test passed (893/893)" or "bun test passed with pre-existing failure in X noted"; omit when no code changes were committed] -``` - -If any clusters were investigated, append a cluster investigation section: - -``` -Cluster investigations (count): - -1. [theme] in [area]: [cluster_assessment from the agent -- - what was found, whether a holistic or individual approach was taken] -``` - -If any agent returned `needs-human`, append a decisions section. These are rare but high-signal. Each `needs-human` agent returns a `decision_context` field with a structured analysis: what the reviewer said, what the agent investigated, why it needs a decision, concrete options with tradeoffs, and the agent's lean if it has one. - -Present the `decision_context` directly -- it's already structured for the user to read and decide quickly: - -``` -Needs your input (count): - -1. [decision_context from the agent -- includes quoted feedback, - investigation findings, why it needs a decision, options with - tradeoffs, and the agent's recommendation if any] -``` - -The `needs-human` threads already have a natural-sounding acknowledgment reply posted and remain open on the PR. - -If there are **pending decisions from a previous run** (threads detected in step 2 as already responded to but still unresolved), surface them after the new work: - -``` -Still pending from a previous run (count): - -1. [Thread path:line] -- [brief description of what's pending] - Previous reply: [link to the existing reply] - [Re-present the decision options if the original context is available, - or summarize what was asked] -``` - -If a blocking question tool is available, use it to ask about all pending decisions (both new `needs-human` and previous-run pending) together. If there are only pending decisions and no new work was done, the summary is just the pending items. - -Use the platform's blocking question tool: `AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code (call `ToolSearch` with `select:AskUserQuestion` first if its schema isn't loaded), `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini, `ask_user` in Pi (requires the `pi-ask-user` extension). Use it to present the decisions and wait for the user's response. After they decide, process the remaining items: fix the code, compose the reply, post it, and resolve the thread. - -Fall back to presenting the decisions in the summary output and waiting in conversation only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip. If the user doesn't respond, the items remain open on the PR for later handling. - ---- - -## Targeted Mode - -When a specific comment or thread URL is provided: - -### 1.
