+
+    # Brainiac Plugin Development
+
+    This is a Brainiac plugin gem. Plugins extend Brainiac with new communication
+    channels, integrations, or features without modifying core.
+
+    ## Plugin Contract
+
+    A valid Brainiac plugin MUST:
+
+    1. **Gem named `brainiac-<name>`**
+    2. **Entry file at `lib/brainiac_<name>.rb`** — loaded by RubyGems
+    3. **Module at `Brainiac::Plugins::<Name>`** — PascalCase
+    4. **Implement `.register(app)`** — receives Sinatra::Application at server startup
+
+    Optional but recommended:
+
+    | Method | File | Purpose |
+    |--------|------|---------|
+    | `.register(app)` | main module | **Required.** Define routes, hooks, threads |
+    | `.configured?` | `metadata.rb` | Returns false → auto-runs setup on install |
+    | `.help_text` | `metadata.rb` | One-liner for `brainiac help` |
+    | `.cli(args)` | `cli.rb` | CLI subcommands via `brainiac <plugin> ...` |
+
+    ## Critical Architecture: CLI vs Server Runtime
+
+    Plugins are loaded in TWO contexts:
+
+    1. **Server context** — full plugin via `.register(app)`. Has `LOG`, `AGENT_REGISTRY`, etc.
+    2. **CLI context** — only `metadata.rb` + `cli.rb`. NO server runtime.
+
+    Rules:
+    - `metadata.rb` requires only `version.rb`
+    - `cli.rb` uses only stdlib (`json`, `net/http`, `fileutils`)
+    - Everything else loaded only by `.register(app)`
+
+    ## Available Hooks
+
+    Subscribe in `.register(app)` via `Brainiac.on(:event)`:
+
+    | Hook | When |
+    |------|------|
+    | `:server_started` | All plugins loaded |
+    | `:pre_dispatch` | Before agent CLI spawned |
+    | `:agent_completed` | Agent session finished |
+    | `:agent_crashed` | Agent process crashed |
+    | `:build_brain_context` | Building prompt context |
+    | `:pr_merged` | GitHub PR merged |
+    | `:pr_review_received` | PR review submitted |
+    | `:pr_synchronized` | PR updated |
+    | `:production_deployed` | Deploy succeeded |
+    | `:create_work_item` | Create card/issue/ticket |
+    | `:detect_cli_provider` | Detect CLI provider |
+    | `:detect_effort` | Detect effort level |
+
+    ## Channel Prompts
+
+    For communication channel plugins:
+
+    ```ruby
+    Brainiac.register_channel_prompt(:my_channel, PROMPT_TEXT, pre_post_check: CHECK_TEXT)
+    ```
+
+    ## Core Functions (Server Context)
+
+    | Function | Purpose |
+    |----------|---------|
+    | `agent_display_name(key)` | Display name for agent |
+    | `agent_env_for(name)` | Env vars hash for agent |
+    | `AGENT_REGISTRY` | All agents |
+    | `PROJECTS` | All projects |
+    | `LOG` | Logger |
+    | `BRAINIAC_DIR` | ~/.brainiac/ path |
+    | `register_session(key, pid, **)` | Track active session |
+    | `session_active?(key)` | Check if session running |
+    | `build_brain_context(...)` | Build brain context |
+    | `render_prompt(template, vars, ...)` | Compose full prompt |
+    | `detect_model(config, text:)` | Detect model from tags |
+    | `parse_inline_tags(text)` | Parse inline tags |
+    | `reload_projects!` | Reload projects.json |
+    | `brain_push(message:)` | Push brain to git |
+
+    ## Testing
+
+    ```bash
+    rake test       # Minitest
+    rake rubocop    # Linter
+    rake            # Both
+    ```
+
+    ## Reference Implementations
+
+    - `brainiac-discord` — Communication channel (gateway, messages, delivery, reactions)
+    - `brainiac-fizzy` — Card management (webhooks, hooks, duplicate detection, planning)
+  SKILL

-        2. Enable MESSAGE CONTENT intent in each bot's settings
-        3. Invite each bot with permissions: Send Messages, Create Public Threads,
-           Send Messages in Threads, Add Reactions, Read Message History
-        4. Register each bot token:
-           brainiac discord token galen "BOT_TOKEN_FOR_GALEN"
-           brainiac discord token glados "BOT_TOKEN_FOR_GLADOS"
-        5. Set a default project:
-           brainiac discord default marketplace
-        6. Start the server (all bots connect automatically):
-           brainiac server
-
-      Config file: #{discord_config_file}
-      Agent registry: #{agent_registry_file}
