d29cf651c7 fix(skills): declare activation triggers in descriptions and normalize version metadata (#2618)
* fix(skills): move version into metadata and normalize to semver

29 skills declared `version` at the top level of their frontmatter. The
schema reads it from `metadata`, so tooling that follows the schema either
misses it or has to special-case the top level.

Three motion skills also declared `version: 1.0`, which is not a valid
semantic version; normalized to `1.0.0`.

No behavioral change — frontmatter metadata only.

* fix(skills): state activation triggers in skill descriptions

148 skills described what they cover but never named the situation that
should trigger them. Since the description is what Claude matches against
to decide whether to load a skill, a description without a trigger makes
activation guesswork — the skill is either missed or loaded at the wrong
time.

Added a "Use when ..." clause to each, derived from the skill's own body
(most already stated the trigger under "## When to Use" or in the opening
line; that intent is now reflected in the frontmatter where it is actually
read from).

Descriptions were only appended to; no existing wording was removed.

* fix(skills): sync activation triggers into the Codex skill mirror

10 of the skills whose descriptions changed are also mirrored under
`.agents/skills/`, where the description was previously a verbatim copy.
Left alone, the two surfaces would disagree about when the skill applies.

Only the description line is synced; the Codex copies keep their reduced
frontmatter, since that validator accepts only name, description,
metadata, license, and allowed-tools.

* fix(skills): correct three activation clauses from review

- autonomous-loops: the clause pulled new loop work into a skill that its
  own body marks as a compatibility shim retained for one release. It now
  points at the canonical continuous-agent-loop instead.
- continuous-learning: the description carried the v1 routing directive
  twice; collapsed to one.
- homelab-pihole-dns: the clause fired on any broken home DNS. Narrowed to
  tasks that actually involve Pi-hole.

* chore: retain current main lockfile

Verification Loop Skill

A comprehensive verification system for Claude Code sessions.

When to Use

Invoke this skill:

  • After completing a feature or significant code change
  • Before creating a PR
  • When you want to ensure quality gates pass
  • After refactoring

Verification Phases

Phase 1: Build Verification

# Check if project builds
npm run build 2>&1 | tail -20
# OR
pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -20

If build fails, STOP and fix before continuing.

Phase 2: Type Check

set -o pipefail
# TypeScript projects
npx --no-install tsc --noEmit 2>&1 | head -30

# Python projects
pyright . 2>&1 | head -30

Report all type errors. Fix critical ones before continuing.

Phase 3: Lint Check

# JavaScript/TypeScript
npm run lint 2>&1 | head -30

# Python
ruff check . 2>&1 | head -30

Phase 4: Test Suite

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test -- --coverage 2>&1 | tail -50

# Check coverage threshold
# Target: 80% minimum

Report:

  • Total tests: X
  • Passed: X
  • Failed: X
  • Coverage: X%

Phase 5: Security Scan

# Check for secrets
grep -rn "sk-" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" . 2>/dev/null | head -10
grep -rn "api_key" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" . 2>/dev/null | head -10

# Check for console.log
grep -rn "console.log" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" src/ 2>/dev/null | head -10

Phase 6: Diff Review

# Show what changed
git diff --stat
git diff HEAD~1 --name-only

Review each changed file for:

  • Unintended changes
  • Missing error handling
  • Potential edge cases

Output Format

After running all phases, produce a verification report:

VERIFICATION REPORT
==================

Build:     [PASS/FAIL]
Types:     [PASS/FAIL] (X errors)
Lint:      [PASS/FAIL] (X warnings)
Tests:     [PASS/FAIL] (X/Y passed, Z% coverage)
Security:  [PASS/FAIL] (X issues)
Diff:      [X files changed]

Overall:   [READY/NOT READY] for PR

Issues to Fix:
1. ...
2. ...

Continuous Mode

For long sessions, run verification every 15 minutes or after major changes:

Set a mental checkpoint:
- After completing each function
- After finishing a component
- Before moving to next task

Run: /verify

Integration with Hooks

This skill complements PostToolUse hooks but provides deeper verification. Hooks catch issues immediately; this skill provides comprehensive review.
