+ # Explain code
8
+
9
+ The goal is a reader who can open the right files and predict what the code
10
+ will do before they touch it. This skill reads and reports. It edits nothing,
11
+ runs nothing that changes state and offers no verdicts on quality.
12
+
13
+ ## Pin down the question
14
+
15
+ Restate the question in one or two lines before reading far: which behavior,
16
+ which entry point, and where you will stop. "How does login work?" might mean
17
+ the form submit, the token exchange, session storage or all three. Pick the
18
+ reading that best fits what the user said, say which one you picked, and start.
19
+ Do not wait for confirmation; the user can redirect you.
20
+
21
+ If the question names something that does not exist in the code, say so early
22
+ and offer the nearest real thing.
23
+
24
+ ## Trace the behavior
25
+
26
+ Start where the behavior starts: a route, a command, an event handler, a
27
+ scheduled job, a public function. Follow calls forward until you reach the
28
+ effects the question cares about, such as a write, a response, a message sent
29
+ or a value returned.
30
+
31
+ - Use the project's code search or code index when it has one. It follows
32
+ calls and dispatch that plain text search misses.
33
+ - Read the code that runs. A function name, a config key or a package
34
+ description says what someone intended, not what happens. Confirm by
35
+ reading the body, the call site and the value actually passed.
36
+ - Follow indirection to its target: dependency injection, registries, event
37
+ buses, plugin loading, dynamic imports, overrides. Name the mechanism when
38
+ it is the reason the path is hard to see.
39
+ - Separate the normal path from code that exists but is not wired in: dead
40
+ branches, disabled flags, handlers nobody registers, fallbacks that only
41
+ fire on a specific error. An exported or configured function not called on
42
+ the normal path is an optional capability, not a step in that flow.
43
+ - Distinguish a configured provider, an injected adapter, a local stub and a
44
+ durable service. Name only the runtime role the wiring and code support.
45
+ - For a state change, trace to the line that performs the write and the
46
+ conditions that permit it. Finding a caller alone does not prove a write.
47
+ - Check configuration and environment that change the path, and say which
48
+ values you assumed.
49
+ - When you cannot close a gap (generated code, a closed dependency, runtime
50
+ data you cannot see), write the open question right beside the claim it
51
+ weakens. Do not collect unknowns in a footnote far from what they affect.
52
+
53
+ The trace is done when every step from trigger to effect is either read in
54
+ the code or marked unverified at that step.
55
+
56
+ ## Split a large area
57
+
58
+ When the area is too wide for one careful pass and the host can run helper
59
+ agents, divide it into slices that do not overlap, for example one per
60
+ service, layer or entry point. Give each helper a single slice, read-only
61
+ access and the brief in [`references/helper-brief.md`](references/helper-brief.md).
62
+ Run them in parallel.
63
+
64
+ Merge the results yourself. Where two slices meet, check that one helper's
65
+ outgoing call matches the other's entry point. Re-read the code for any claim
66
+ that surprises you or that the explanation depends on; a helper's summary is
67
+ a lead, not proof.
68
+
69
+ ## Match depth to the question
70
+
71
+ A narrow question gets a short answer. "Where is the retry count set?" needs
72
+ a file reference and a sentence, not a tour. A request for a walkthrough of a
73
+ subsystem gets the full shape below.
74
+
75
+ - Cite files and functions as `path/to/file.ext:function` or with line
76
+ numbers, so the reader can open each one.
77
+ - Quote code only when the exact line carries the point: an off-by-one
78
+ boundary, an unusual default, a condition that decides the branch.
79
+ - Choose the smallest view that explains the behavior clearly. Use pseudocode
80
+ for decisions, a call tree for execution order, or a component/file tree for
81
+ ownership. Use a diagram for interactions or state transitions when it is
82
+ clearer than prose. Keep the conditions, side effects and unverified links
83
+ that affect the answer, with source references beside them.
84
+
85
+ ## Shape the answer
86
+
87
+ Cover these in whatever order and form suits the question. Skip a part only
88
+ when it has nothing to say.
89
+
90
+ 1. **Purpose.** What the code is for and who or what triggers it.
91
+ 2. **Terms.** The few names, types or ideas the reader must know to follow
92
+ the rest. Three to five is usually enough.
93
+ 3. **The flow.** The path from trigger to effect, using prose or the selected
94
+ view, with a source reference for each step. Explain any assumption or
95
+ omitted branch that changes the reader's understanding.
96
+ 4. **Where to start reading.** The two or three files that repay opening
97
+ first, and in what order.
98
+ 5. **Surprises.** Behavior a careful reader would not expect: side effects,
99
+ ordering dependencies, silent fallbacks, caching, code that looks live but
100
+ is not, and history that explains why code looks odd.
101
+ 6. **Unverified.** What you could not confirm and what would confirm it,
102
+ if any of it is not already noted next to its claim.
103
+
104
+ ## Stay descriptive
105
+
106
+ Describe what the code does, not whether it should. If you notice a likely
107
+ bug, mention it once as a fact with its location and move on. For a critique
108
+ of the design, point to `hr-maintainability-review`. For what a planned change
109
+ would affect, point to `hr-code-review` (its Impact section). For a failure being chased, point to

2
+ name: hr-extract-shared-steps
3
+ description: Pull steps that several workflows repeat (a provider call, a command run, a message sent) into shared functions with explicit inputs and results, leaving each workflow's decisions with its caller. Use when the same operation appears in two or more callers, a fix landed in one copy but not the others, or a new feature needs mechanics an existing flow has. Not for single-caller logic, naming or interface design.
4
+ ---
5
+
6
+ # Extract shared steps
7
+
8
+ Several workflows often perform the same operation with slightly different
9
+ code around it: one checkout path and one renewal job both charge a card, two
10
+ handlers both run the same CLI command. The copies drift, and a fix applied to
11
+ one leaves the others broken. This skill moves the operation into one shared
12
+ function and leaves every decision about when, whether and what next with the
13
+ workflow that owns it.
14
+
15
+ ## Confirm it applies
16
+
17
+ Extract when at least one of these is true, and you can point to the lines:
18
+
19
+ - Two or more callers perform the same low-level operation with the same
20
+ inputs, calls and error handling, give or take naming.
21
+ - A bug fix or provider change landed in one copy and the others still carry
22
+ the old behavior.
23
+ - A new feature is about to copy mechanics that an existing flow already has.
24
+
25
+ Stop and leave the code alone when the logic has one caller, when the copies
26
+ only look alike but encode different product rules, or when the real question
27
+ is naming or how a module's interface should look.
28
+
29
+ ## Draw the line between policy and operation
30
+
31
+ Go through the repeated code line by line and sort each line with this test:
32
+ would a second caller ever want this line to behave differently? If yes, it is
33
+ policy and stays in the caller. If no, it is part of the operation.
34
+
35
+ Policy, which stays with each caller:
36
+
37
+ - who may trigger the action, and any permission or plan checks
38
+ - state transitions on the caller's own records (order paid, subscription past due)
39
+ - which failures reach the user, and the wording they see
40
+ - whether to retry, when, and how many times
41
+ - logging or metrics that name the workflow
42
+
43
+ Operation, which moves into the shared function:
44
+
45
+ - building the request, calling the provider or command, parsing the response
46
+ - mapping raw provider errors into a small, stable set of failure kinds
47
+ - anything that must be identical everywhere for correctness, such as an
48
+ idempotency key format or a required header
49
+
50
+ ## Shape the shared function
51
+
52
+ - Take everything it needs as parameters: clients, identifiers, amounts,
53
+ timeouts. It does not reach for globals, request context or configuration
54
+ on its own.
55
+ - Do not read or write application state or the database inside it. The caller
56
+ loads what the operation needs and stores what comes back.
57
+ - Return a structured result that makes failure explicit: success with its
58
+ data, or a failure kind plus the raw detail. Never swallow an error or
59
+ return a bare `false` the caller cannot interpret.
60
+ - Offer several small operations a caller can combine rather than one entry
61
+ point with flags for each caller's variant. Two callers needing different
62
+ steps call different functions.
63
+ - Keep argument order, naming and result shape consistent across sibling
64
+ operations, so a reader who knows one knows the rest.
65
+
66
+ Extract only what is repeated today and not specific to one product flow. A
67
+ step only one caller needs stays in that caller, even if it sits next to the
68
+ shared part.
69
+
70
+ ## Example
71
+
72
+ Checkout charges a card while the customer waits; the renewal job charges
73
+ the same card overnight. Both used to build the provider request inline.
74
+
75
+ ```ts
76
+ type ChargeResult =
77
+ | { ok: true; chargeId: string }
78
+ | { ok: false; kind: "declined" | "unavailable" | "invalid"; detail: string };
79
+
80
+ async function chargeCard(
81
+ client: PaymentClient,
82
+ input: {
83
+ customerRef: string;
84
+ amountCents: number;
85
+ currency: string;
86
+ idempotencyKey: string;
87
+ },
88
+ ): Promise<ChargeResult> {
89
+ /* request, call, map provider errors to kind */
90
+ }
91
+
92
+ // Checkout: show declines to the customer, never retry.
93
+ const paid = await chargeCard(client, { ...order.charge, idempotencyKey: order.id });
94
+ if (!paid.ok) return showPaymentError(paid.kind);
95
+ await orders.markPaid(order.id, paid.chargeId);
96
+
97
+ // Renewal job: retry outages later, mark the subscription past due on decline.
98
+ const renewed = await chargeCard(client, { ...sub.charge, idempotencyKey: `${sub.id}:${period}` });
99
+ if (!renewed.ok && renewed.kind === "unavailable") return scheduleRetry(sub.id);
100
+ if (!renewed.ok) return subs.markPastDue(sub.id, renewed.detail);
101
+ await subs.recordPayment(sub.id, renewed.chargeId);
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ `chargeCard` knows nothing about orders, subscriptions or retries. Each caller
105
+ decides what a decline means for its own records.
106
+
107
+ ## Migrate in steps
108
+
109
+ 1. Write the shared function from the most complete copy, with tests for its
110
+ success path and each failure kind. Done when those tests pass.
111
+ 2. Switch one caller to it. Done when that caller's tests, the type check and
112
+ the linter pass, and its observable behavior is unchanged.
113
+ 3. Switch the remaining callers one at a time with the same checks. Where the
114
+ copies differed, decide whether the difference was policy (keep it in that
115
+ caller) or a bug (fix it, and say so in the change description).
116
+ 4. Delete the old inline copies. Done when a search for the old request
117
+ building or provider call finds only the shared function.
118
+ 5. Run the project's full required checks before landing.
119
+
120
+ ## Check the result
121
+
122
+ Revisit the extraction when any of these appear, now or in later changes:
123
+
124
+ - The shared function grew a parameter or mode flag that exists for one
125
+ caller. Move that step back to the caller or split the function.
126
+ - It writes domain state, or reads it to decide what to do. That is policy
127
+ leaking in; return the data and let the caller act.
128
+ - It has a single caller left. Inline it back unless a second caller is
129
+ already planned in this change.
130
+ - Callers inspect raw provider errors again instead of the failure kind. The
131
+ result type is missing a case.
132
+
133
+ Report what was extracted, which callers moved, any behavior difference you
134
+ found between the copies and how you resolved it, and the checks you ran.

6
+ # Forgotten-work audit
7
+
8
+ Per-session checks look at lines that are already in a ledger. They cannot
9
+ see a promise that exists only in a transcript, a follow-up written as prose,
10
+ or an item a handoff rewrite left out. This audit reads the history itself
11
+ and checks every candidate against the records that should hold it.
12
+
13
+ The audit reads only. It edits, commits, posts, comments, builds and cleans
14
+ up nothing. Workers may write only their own result file. The coordinator
15
+ writes the consolidated report and the last-audit record. After the report,
16
+ step 5 may add owed items to a plan this session owns; that is the only
17
+ other write.
18
+
19
+ ## 1. Set the scope
20
+
21
+ Fill these before starting, and put them at the top of the report:
22
+
23
+ - **Project**: the name used in plans' `Project:` line, and the repositories
24
+ and checkouts it covers. The name starts with a letter, digit or `_` and
25
+ holds only those and `.` or `-`. It names folders, so stop if it has any
26
+ other character.
27
+ - **Window**: from the last audit's date (or the project's first session)
28
+ to today.
29
+ - **Records**: the live plan and handoff folders, archived plans, the
30
+ repositories' history and changelogs, and their open and recently closed
31
+ pull requests and issues, including ones on upstream projects.
32
+ - **Transcripts**: the host's transcript search, meaning a tool that
33
+ full-text searches earlier agent sessions across providers and filters by
34
+ project directory and date. Use the one the host names. Do not write
35
+ per-provider transcript scanners. Without such a tool, transcripts are a
36
+ coverage gap.
37
+ - **Previous audit**: the result named by the last-audit record, if any, and
38
+ its `gaps`. Each gap whose source is now readable becomes a slice of this
39
+ audit over its whole uncovered range, whatever the window. A gap still not
40
+ readable is copied into this audit's `gaps`.
41
+
42
+ ## 2. Slice the sources
43
+
44
+ Split the work so each slice has roughly 30 to 80 candidates:
45
+
46
+ 1. User prompts, by date window. Drop relayed notices and worker briefs, and
47
+ say how many were dropped and by what filter.
48
+ 2. Agent-written follow-up lines ("deferred", "follow-up", "still open",
49
+ "later", "parked"), by date window. Say whether lines were read in full or
50
+ found by keyword.
51
+ 3. Plans and handoffs, live and archived: every open or deferred line, and
52
+ prose follow-ups outside the ledger.
53
+ 4. Repository state: branches, worktrees, scratch folders, open pull requests
54
+ and issues, comments from others that are waiting on a reply.
55
+ 5. The previous audit's forgotten and unclear items. Each one carries over
56
+ until it is done, tracked or dropped.
57
+
58
+ Each slice can go to a read-only worker under the host's delegation rules,
59
+ with the brief in [references/brief-template.md](references/brief-template.md).
60
+
61
+ ## 3. Give each candidate one verdict
62
+
63
+ - **done**: cite the commit, pull request, plan line or file.
64
+ - **tracked**: still open, and present in a live ledger or handoff (name it).
65
+ - **dropped**: the user or owner decided no, or it was superseded (cite it).
66
+ - **forgotten**: no follow-through and absent from every live list.
67
+ - **unclear**: the evidence is not enough; say what was searched.
68
+
69
+ Before calling an item forgotten, search the plans, handoffs, history,
70
+ changelogs and docs, the forge and the transcripts for it. A few
71
+ well-evidenced forgotten items are worth more than many weak ones. Skip
72
+ routine one-turn questions and commands finished in the same session.
73
+
74
+ ## 4. Consolidate
75
+
76
+ Write the report in the notes directory at
77
+ `audits/<project>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/report.md`, beside the slice results, in the
78
+ format in [references/result-format.md](references/result-format.md):
79
+
80
+ 1. One coverage row per slice: records read, range, items checked, and the
81
+ count per verdict.
82
+ 2. The gaps: sources not read, filters that dropped records, and anything
83
+ truncated. Do not claim nothing else is missing.
84
+ 3. A deduplicated list of forgotten and unclear items. Add tracked items with
85
+ no movement for more than a week. Rank items visible to other people or
86
+ time-limited first, then items the user asked for explicitly, then by
87
+ correctness impact, then by effort.
88
+ 4. The patterns that lost items, each with the items it explains.
89
+
90
+ ## 5. Turn results into decisions
91
+
92
+ The report does not authorize work. For each forgotten or unclear item:
93
+
94
+ - If the current session owns the plan and the item is work the user asked
95
+ for or was promised, add it as an open ledger line with its source.
96
+ - Otherwise present it under the governing offer rules. With three or more
97
+ questions, use the walk-through in `hr-what-next`. Record each answer as
98
+ yes, no (dropped) or deferred with a trigger.
99
+ - For items owned by another session or owner, name the owner and leave
100
+ their records alone.
101
+ - Done and dropped items stay in the report only.
102
+
103
+ Report time-limited items and anything visible to other people first.
104
+
105
+ ## 6. Write the last-audit record
106
+
107
+ When the report is saved, write `audits/<project>/last-audit.json` in the
108
+ notes directory, replacing the previous one:
109
+
110
+ ```json
111
+ {
112
+ "project": "example-app",
113
+ "date": "2026-10-11",
114

116
+ "gaps": ["sessions in other repositories that discussed this project"]
117
+ }
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ `date`, `scope` and `result` are required; `gaps` is optional. `date` is the
121
+ day the report was saved. A partial audit still writes the record, and its
122
+ `scope` and `gaps` say what it left out.
123
+
124
+ `hr-what-next`'s open-work check reads this record for any plan whose header
125
+ has a `Project: <name>` line. It warns when the record is missing, unreadable,
126
+ more than 30 days old, or dated after today. A plan without that line gets no
127
+ audit warning.
128
+
129
+ Thirty days is a default, not a measured interval. A shorter one needs evidence
130
+ that it surfaces more lost work than thirty-day audits did over the same period.

32
+ - Repositories: `<checkouts and default branches>`; read their logs,

36
+ - Transcripts: `<the host's transcript search command and its project filter>`

+ ## Method
39
+
40
+ Give each candidate one verdict:

43
+ - **tracked**: still open in a live ledger or handoff; name it.
