4
+ ---
5
+
6
+ # check-forbidden-markers
7
+
8
+ Invoke the babysitter:babysit skill (using the Skill tool) and follow its instructions (SKILL.md). Compose the gate from the shared helper at `library/processes/shared/forbidden-markers-scanner.js` (issue #477).
9
+
10
+ ## What this gate does
11
+
12
+ Reads a list of literal substring markers from `scripts/forbidden-markers.txt` (blank lines and `#`-prefixed comments stripped) and greps every `.js` chunk under `.vercel/output/static/_next/static/chunks/` (Next.js / Vercel default; configurable) for any occurrence. Reports structured hits per `(marker, chunk)` pair with occurrence counts. Designed to chain between `vercel build --prod` and `vercel deploy --prod`.
13
+
14
+ Use this gate when a refactor or restart-from-baseline replaced load-bearing code paths and you need a structural guarantee the obsolete symbols never re-ship. Burned-in evidence: cookbook VI-9 / VI-12 near-miss revivals during the 2026-05 iOS-Safari saga; the prototype lives at `cookbook/scripts/check-no-forbidden.mjs` and shipped two upstream contributions before being generalized as this gate.
15
+
16
+ ## When to use
17
+
18
+ - **Pre-deploy.** Insert after build, before deploy. Block the deploy when `ok: false`.
19
+ - **Post-restart.** After a baseline rollback + step-by-step re-add, snapshot the saga-era markers in `forbidden-markers.txt` and let CI hold the line.
20
+ - **Post-refactor.** When old helper / handler / module names must not coexist with the new ones in the same bundle.
21
+
22
+ ## Expected config locations
23
+
24
+ - `scripts/forbidden-markers.txt` — one marker per line, `#` for comments. The list is the contract; the gate is mechanical. Commit this file to source control.
25
+ - `.vercel/output/static/_next/static/chunks/` — default scan target. Override for non-Vercel frameworks via the `--chunks-dir` flag or the `chunksDir` task input.
26
+
27
+ A missing markers file is a no-op (`ok: true`, `reason: 'missing-markers-file'`) — misconfiguration is never a deploy block. A missing chunks directory is likewise a no-op (`reason: 'missing-chunks-dir'`) so the gate is safe to chain into `check:all` before the build runs.
28
+
29
+ ## Exit semantics
30
+
31
+ | Reason | `ok` | Deploy decision |
32
+ |-------------------------|--------|--------------------------------|
33
+ | `missing-markers-file` | true | Pass (no gate active) |
34
+ | `missing-chunks-dir` | true | Pass (run before build) |
35
+ | `empty-markers` | true | Pass (list is empty) |
36
+ | `no-chunks` | true | Pass (nothing to scan) |
37
+ | `clean` | true | Pass — proceed to deploy |
38
+ | `hits` | false | **BLOCK** — surface hits, ask for triage |
39
+
40
+ For each hit, the gate emits `{ marker, chunk, count }` so the operator sees the exact marker string, the absolute chunk path, and the number of occurrences in that chunk. Multiple hits across chunks for the same marker are reported separately.
41
+
42
+ ## Programmatic surface
43
+
44
+ ```js
45
+ import { scanForbiddenMarkers, checkForbiddenMarkersTask } from '@a5c-ai/babysitter-library/processes/shared';
46
+
47
+ // Direct call:
48
+ const result = await scanForbiddenMarkers({
49
+ markersFile: 'scripts/forbidden-markers.txt',
50
+ chunksDir: '.vercel/output/static/_next/static/chunks',
51
+ });
52
+ if (!result.ok) {
53
+ // result.hits: Array<{ marker, chunk, count }>
54
+ // result.reason === 'hits'
55
+ process.exit(1);
56
+ }
57
+
58
+ // Or dispatched as a babysitter task:
59
+ const gate = await ctx.task(checkForbiddenMarkersTask, {
60
+ projectDir: '.',
61
+ // markersFile / chunksDir are inferred from projectDir if omitted
62
+ });

  Implementation notes (for the process):
13
19
  - Parse arguments for `--dry-run` flag (if present, set dryRun: true in inputs) and `--keep-days N` (default: 7)
14
- - The process scans .a5c/runs/ for completed/failed runs, aggregates insights, writes summaries, then removes old data
15
- - Always show the user what will be removed before removing (in interactive mode via breakpoints)
16
- - In non-interactive mode (yolo), proceed with cleanup using defaults
17
- - The insights file goes to docs/run-history-insights.md
18
- - Only remove terminal runs (completed/failed) older than the keep-days threshold
19
- - Never remove active/in-progress runs
20
- - Remove orphaned process files not referenced by remaining runs
21
- - After cleanup, show remaining run count and disk usage
20
+
21
+ CRITICAL: The cleanup MUST follow this exact phase order. Do NOT delete any run before Phase 2 completes.
22
+
23
+ Phase 1 Scan:
24
+ - Scan .a5c/runs/ for all runs
25
+ - Classify each as terminal (completed/failed) or active (in-progress/created)
26
+ - Identify terminal runs older than the keep-days threshold as removal candidates
27
+ - Never mark active/in-progress runs for removal
28
+ - Count and report: total runs, terminal, active, removal candidates, disk usage
29
+
30
+ Phase 2 — Aggregate insights (BEFORE any deletion):
31
+ - For EVERY removal candidate, read its run.json and journal/ events
32
+ - Extract: processId, prompt, status, event count, created date, task summaries
33
+ - Group by process type and extract patterns (retry counts, convergence behavior, failure modes)
34
+ - Append a new dated section to docs/run-history-insights.md with:
35
+ - Summary statistics (runs removed, disk freed, runs retained)
36
+ - Run categories with counts and descriptions
37
+ - Key patterns observed (multi-batch convergence, retry behavior, etc.)
38
+ - What worked well / what didn't from the run data
39
+ - This file MUST be written and verified before proceeding to Phase 3
40
+
41
+ Phase 3 — Confirm removal:
42
+ - In interactive mode, show the user what will be removed via a breakpoint
43
+ - In non-interactive mode (yolo), proceed with defaults
44
+ - In dry-run mode, stop here and show what would be removed
45
+
46
+ Phase 4 — Remove:
47
+ - Delete the terminal runs older than keep-days threshold
48
+ - Identify and remove orphaned process files not referenced by remaining runs

14
- ```
15
-
16
- Plugins can be installed at two scopes:
17
- - **global** (`--global`): stored under `~/.a5c/`, available for all projects
18
- - **project** (`--project`): stored under `<projectDir>/.a5c/`, project-specific
19
-
20
- ## Marketplace Management
21
-
22
- Marketplaces are git repositories containing a `marketplace.json` manifest and plugin package directories. The SDK clones them locally with `--depth 1`.
23
-
24
- **Storage locations:**
25
- - Global: `~/.a5c/marketplaces/<name>/`
26
- - Project: `<projectDir>/.a5c/marketplaces/<name>/`
27
-
28
- The marketplace name is derived from the git URL's last path segment (stripping `.git` suffix and trailing slashes).
29
-
30
- ### Adding a marketplace
31
-
32
- ```bash
33
- babysitter plugin:add-marketplace --marketplace-url <url> [--marketplace-path <relative-path>] [--marketplace-branch <ref>] [--force] --global|--project [--json]
34
- ```
35
-
36
- Clones the marketplace repository to the local marketplaces directory. Use `--marketplace-path` to specify the relative path to `marketplace.json` within the repo (for monorepos or repos where the manifest is not at the root). Use `--marketplace-branch` to clone a specific branch, tag, or ref (defaults to the repo's default branch). Use `--force` to replace an existing marketplace clone (deletes and re-clones).
37
-
38
- ### Updating a marketplace
39
-
40
- ```bash
41
- babysitter plugin:update-marketplace --marketplace-name <name> [--marketplace-branch <ref>] --global|--project [--json]
42
- ```
43
-
44
- Runs `git pull` on the local marketplace clone to fetch latest changes. Use `--marketplace-branch` to switch to a different branch before pulling (works even with shallow clones).
45
-
46
- ### Listing plugins in a marketplace
47
-
48
- ```bash
49
- babysitter plugin:list-plugins --marketplace-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
50
- ```
51
-
52
- Reads the `marketplace.json` manifest and returns all available plugins sorted alphabetically by name. Each entry includes: name, description, latestVersion, versions array, packagePath, tags, and author.
53
-
54
- ## Plugin Installation
55
-
56
- **Note:** For `plugin:install`, `plugin:update`, `plugin:configure`, and `plugin:list-plugins`, the `--marketplace-name` flag is auto-detected when only one marketplace is cloned for the given scope. You can omit it if there's only one marketplace.
57
-
58
- ### Flow
59
-
60
- 1. Update the marketplace: `babysitter plugin:update-marketplace --marketplace-name <name> --global|--project`
61
- 2. Check current state: `babysitter plugin:list-installed --global|--project` to see installed plugins and versions
62
- 3. Install the plugin:
63
-
64
- ```bash
65
- babysitter plugin:install --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
66
- ```

-
68
- This command resolves the plugin package path from the marketplace manifest, reads `install.md` from the plugin package directory, and returns the installation instructions. If an `install-process.js` file exists, the instructions may reference it as an automated install process.
69
-
70
- 4. The agent performs the installation steps as defined in `install.md`
71
- 5. The agent updates the registry:
72
-
73
- ```bash
74
- babysitter plugin:update-registry --plugin-name <name> --plugin-version <ver> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
75
- ```
76
-
77
- ## Plugin Update (with migrations)
78
-
79
- ```bash
80
- babysitter plugin:update --plugin-name <name> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
81
- ```
82
-
83
- This command:
84
- 1. Reads the currently installed version from the registry
85
- 2. Resolves the latest version from the marketplace manifest
86
- 3. Looks in the plugin package's `migrations/` directory for migration files
87
- 4. Uses BFS over the migration graph to find the shortest path from the installed version to the target version
88
- 5. Returns the ordered migration instructions (content of each migration file in sequence)
89
-
90
- **Migration filename format:** `<fromVersion>_to_<toVersion>.<ext>` where:
91
- - Versions may contain alphanumerics, dots, dashes (e.g. `1.0.0`, `2.0.0-beta`)
92
- - Extensions: `.md` for markdown instructions, `.js` for executable process files
93
- - Examples: `1.0.0_to_1.1.0.md`, `2.0.0-beta_to_2.0.0.js`
94
-
95
- After performing the migration steps, update the registry:
96
-
97
- ```bash
98
- babysitter plugin:update-registry --plugin-name <name> --plugin-version <new-ver> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
99
- ```
100
-
101
- ## Plugin Uninstallation
102
-
103
- ```bash
104
- babysitter plugin:uninstall --plugin-name <name> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
105
- ```
106
-
107
- Reads `uninstall.md` from the plugin package directory and returns the uninstall instructions. After performing the uninstall steps, remove from registry:
108
-
109
- ```bash
110
- babysitter plugin:remove-from-registry --plugin-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
111
- ```
112
-
113
- ## Plugin Configuration
114
-
115
- ```bash
116
- babysitter plugin:configure --plugin-name <name> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
117
- ```
118
-
119
- Reads `configure.md` from the plugin package directory and returns configuration instructions.
120
-
121
- ## Registry Management
122
-
123
- The plugin registry (`plugin-registry.json`) tracks installed plugins with schema version `2026.01.plugin-registry-v1`. Writes use atomic file operations (temp + rename) for crash safety.
124
-
125
- **Storage locations:**
126
- - Global: `~/.a5c/plugin-registry.json`
127
- - Project: `<projectDir>/.a5c/plugin-registry.json`
128
-
129
- ### List installed plugins
130
-
131
- ```bash
132
- babysitter plugin:list-installed --global|--project [--json]
133
- ```
134
-
135
- Returns all installed plugins sorted alphabetically. In `--json` mode, returns an array of registry entries. In human mode, displays a formatted table with name, version, marketplace, and timestamps.
136
-
137
- ### Remove from registry
138
-
139
- ```bash
140
- babysitter plugin:remove-from-registry --plugin-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
141
- ```
142
-
143
- Removes a plugin entry from the registry. Returns error if the plugin is not present.
144
-
145
- ## Plugin Creation
146
-
147
- To create a new plugin package from scratch, use the `meta/plugin-creation` babysitter process. This process guides you through requirements analysis, structure design, instruction authoring, optional process file generation, validation, and marketplace integration.
148
-
149
- ### Using the plugin creation process
150
-
151
- Orchestrate a babysitter run with the plugin creation process:
152
-
153
- ```bash
154
- # Create inputs file
155
- cat > /tmp/plugin-inputs.json << 'EOF'
156
- {
157
- "pluginName": "my-plugin",
158
- "description": "What the plugin does — be specific about install/configure/uninstall behavior",
159
- "scope": "project",
160
- "outputDir": "./plugins",
161
- "components": {
162
- "installProcess": false,
163
- "configureProcess": false,
164
- "uninstallProcess": false,
165
- "migrations": false,
166
- "processFiles": false
167
- },
168
- "marketplace": {
169
- "name": "my-marketplace",
170
- "author": "my-org",
171
- "tags": ["category1", "category2"]
172
- }
173
- }
174
- EOF
175
-
176
- # Create and run
177
- babysitter run:create \
178
- --process-id meta/plugin-creation \
179
- --entry library/specializations/meta/plugin-creation.js#process \
180
- --inputs /tmp/plugin-inputs.json \
181
- --prompt "Create a new babysitter plugin package" \
182
- --json
183
- ```
184
-
185
- ### What the process generates
186
-
187
- The process creates a complete plugin package directory:
188
-
189
- | File | Description |
190
- |------|-------------|
191
- | `install.md` | Agent-readable installation instructions with numbered steps |
192
- | `uninstall.md` | Reversal instructions for clean removal |
193
- | `configure.md` | Configuration options table and adjustment instructions |
194
- | `install-process.js` | *(optional)* Automated babysitter process for complex install steps |
195
- | `configure-process.js` | *(optional)* Automated configuration process |
196
- | `process/main.js` | *(optional)* Main process the plugin contributes |
197
- | `marketplace-entry.json` | Ready-to-use marketplace.json entry for publishing |
198
-
199
- ### Process phases
200
-
201
- 1. **Requirements Analysis** — Analyzes plugin purpose, prerequisites, config options, file structure
202
- 2. **Structure Design** — Plans directory layout and file inventory (with review breakpoint)
203
- 3. **Instruction Authoring** — Writes install.md, uninstall.md, configure.md
204
- 4. **Process Files** — Creates optional babysitter process files (install-process.js, configure-process.js, process/main.js)
205
- 5. **Validation** — Verifies package completeness, instruction quality, path correctness
206
- 6. **Marketplace Integration** — Generates marketplace.json entry for publishing
207
-
208
- ### Quick creation (without orchestration)
209
-
210
- For simple plugins that only need instruction files, you can create the package manually following the structure below and the [Plugin Author Guide](docs/plugins/plugin-author-guide.md).
211
-
212
- ## Plugin Package Structure
213
-
214
- ```
215
- my-plugin/
216
- package.json # Optional (name field used as plugin ID, falls back to directory name)
217
- install.md # Markdown instructions for installation
218
- uninstall.md # Markdown instructions for removal
219
- configure.md # Markdown instructions for configuration
220
- install-process.js # Optional automated install process
221
- uninstall-process.js # Optional automated uninstall process

226
- process/ # Process definition files (collected recursively)
227
- main.js
228
- ```
229
-
230

247
- ## After Plugin Work: Contribute Back
248
-
249
- After working with plugins, prompt the user to share improvements or report issues:
250
-
251
- - **Improved a plugin's install/configure/uninstall instructions**: `/babysitter:contrib library contribution: improved [plugin-name] [install|configure|uninstall] instructions`
252
- - **Created a new plugin**: `/babysitter:contrib library contribution: new plugin [plugin-name] -- [description]`
253
- - **Found a bug in a plugin or the plugin system**: `/babysitter:contrib bug report: [description, e.g. "plugin:update-registry fails when marketplace hasn't been cloned"]`
254
- - **Plugin install/configure instructions were confusing or wrong**: `/babysitter:contrib bug report: [plugin-name] install instructions [description of what was wrong]`
255
- - **Have an idea for a new plugin**: `/babysitter:contrib feature request: plugin idea -- [description]`
256
-
257
- Even reporting that a plugin's instructions were unclear helps improve it for the next user.

+ This command is a deprecated alias for `/babysitter:blueprints`.
9
+
10
+ For Babysitter marketplace installables, use blueprints terminology and the `babysitter blueprint:*` CLI command family:
11
+
12
+ ```bash
13
+ babysitter blueprint:list-installed --global|--project [--json]
14
+ babysitter blueprint:add-marketplace --marketplace-url <url> [--marketplace-path <relative-path>] --global|--project [--json]
15
+ babysitter blueprint:list-plugins --marketplace-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
16
+ babysitter blueprint:install --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
17
+ babysitter blueprint:update --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
18
+ babysitter blueprint:configure --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
19
+ babysitter blueprint:uninstall --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
20
+ ```
21
+
22
+ The `--plugin-name` flag remains for CLI compatibility with existing marketplace manifests. Describe the installable as a blueprint in user-facing text.
23
+
24
+ Agent harness plugins are not renamed. `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`, `PI_PLUGIN_ROOT`, `.claude/plugins/`, hooks-adapter, extensions-adapter, and agent plugin manifests remain plugin concepts.
