Affaan MustafaandGitHub c70874fae9 feat(pi): curated pi/core skills+prompts profile, CI load test, and 2.2.2 release sync (#3264)
Adds a curated, Pi-native, skills+prompts-only profile at pi/core/ for downstream packagers that mirror GitHub Releases.

- manifests/pi-core.json: explicit include lists, per-item exclusion reasons, curation rules, safety allowlists; every root skill and command must be classified.
- scripts/build-pi-core.js regenerates pi/core deterministically (package.json from VERSION, LICENSE, README.md, CURATION.md, skills/, commands/); --check fails CI on drift. council is renamed ecc-council inside pi/core only.
- Safety checks: no callable endpoints outside the allowlist, no npx/curl|sh/pip install, no secrets, no absolute home paths, no symlinks, valid frontmatter, no duplicate names.
- CI: build + drift check and an offline Pi CLI load test of pi/core.
- Release: VERSION, package.json and pi/core/package.json at 2.2.2, CHANGELOG, tag-triggered release verification, and a two-week cadence in CONTRIBUTING.md.

pi/core: 123 of 293 skills and 24 of 94 commands; 35,006 characters of skill description text.

Sync documentation from source-of-truth files such as scripts, schemas, routes, and exports.

Update Documentation

Sync documentation with the codebase, generating from source-of-truth files.

Step 1: Identify Sources of Truth

Source Generates
package.json scripts Available commands reference
.env.example Environment variable documentation
openapi.yaml / route files API endpoint reference
Source code exports Public API documentation
Dockerfile / docker-compose.yml Infrastructure setup docs

Step 2: Generate Script Reference

  1. Read package.json (or Makefile, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml)
  2. Extract all scripts/commands with their descriptions
  3. Generate a reference table:
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `npm run dev` | Start development server with hot reload |
| `npm run build` | Production build with type checking |
| `npm test` | Run test suite with coverage |

Step 3: Generate Environment Documentation

  1. Read .env.example (or .env.template, .env.sample)
  2. Extract all variables with their purposes
  3. Categorize as required vs optional
  4. Document expected format and valid values
| Variable | Required | Description | Example |
|----------|----------|-------------|---------|
| `DATABASE_URL` | Yes | PostgreSQL connection string | `postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db` |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | No | Logging verbosity (default: info) | `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error` |

Step 4: Update Contributing Guide

Generate or update docs/CONTRIBUTING.md with:

  • Development environment setup (prerequisites, install steps)
  • Available scripts and their purposes
  • Testing procedures (how to run, how to write new tests)
  • Code style enforcement (linter, formatter, pre-commit hooks)
  • PR submission checklist

Step 5: Update Runbook

Generate or update docs/RUNBOOK.md with:

  • Deployment procedures (step-by-step)
  • Health check endpoints and monitoring
  • Common issues and their fixes
  • Rollback procedures
  • Alerting and escalation paths

Step 6: Staleness Check

  1. Find documentation files not modified in 90+ days
  2. Cross-reference with recent source code changes
  3. Flag potentially outdated docs for manual review

Step 7: Show Summary

Documentation Update
──────────────────────────────
Updated:  docs/CONTRIBUTING.md (scripts table)
Updated:  docs/ENV.md (3 new variables)
Flagged:  docs/DEPLOY.md (142 days stale)
Skipped:  docs/API.md (no changes detected)
──────────────────────────────

Rules

  • Single source of truth: Always generate from code, never manually edit generated sections
  • Preserve manual sections: Only update generated sections; leave hand-written prose intact
  • Mark generated content: Use <!-- AUTO-GENERATED --> markers around generated sections
  • Don't create docs unprompted: Only create new doc files if the command explicitly requests it
