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

skill-comply Visualize whether skills, rules, and agent definitions are actually followed — auto-generates scenarios at 3 prompt strictness levels, runs agents, classifies behavioral sequences, and reports compliance rates with full tool call timelines. Use when checking whether agents actually follow the skills, rules, and definitions they were given, rather than assuming they do.

skill-comply: Automated Compliance Measurement

Measures whether coding agents actually follow skills, rules, or agent definitions by:

  1. Auto-generating expected behavioral sequences (specs) from any .md file
  2. Auto-generating scenarios with decreasing prompt strictness (supportive → neutral → competing)
  3. Running claude -p and capturing tool call traces via stream-json
  4. Classifying tool calls against spec steps using LLM (not regex)
  5. Checking temporal ordering deterministically
  6. Generating self-contained reports with spec, prompts, and timelines

Supported Targets

  • Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md): Workflow skills like search-first, TDD guides
  • Rules (rules/common/*.md): Mandatory rules like testing.md, security.md, git-workflow.md
  • Agent definitions (agents/*.md): Whether an agent gets invoked when expected (internal workflow verification not yet supported)

When to Activate

  • User runs /skill-comply <path>
  • User asks "is this rule actually being followed?"
  • After adding new rules/skills, to verify agent compliance
  • Periodically as part of quality maintenance

Usage

# Full run
uv run python -m scripts.run ~/.claude/rules/common/testing.md

# Dry run (no cost, spec + scenarios only)
uv run python -m scripts.run --dry-run ~/.claude/skills/search-first/SKILL.md

# Custom models
uv run python -m scripts.run --gen-model haiku --model sonnet <path>

Key Concept: Prompt Independence

Measures whether a skill/rule is followed even when the prompt doesn't explicitly support it.

Report Contents

Reports are self-contained and include:

  1. Expected behavioral sequence (auto-generated spec)
  2. Scenario prompts (what was asked at each strictness level)
  3. Compliance scores per scenario
  4. Tool call timelines with LLM classification labels

Advanced (optional)

For users familiar with hooks, reports also include hook promotion recommendations for steps with low compliance. This is informational — the main value is the compliance visibility itself.
