6
+ # Babysit a PR to PR-ready
7
+
8
+ PR creation does not start babysitting. `babysit:true` opts into this skill;
9
+ omission means no follow-up. A PR URL by itself is not an instruction to drive
10
+ it. When the user asks to babysit a URL from a route Workit did not enforce,
11
+ help without claiming the Workit route was enforced. Never mutate PR topology
12
+ (no rebase strategy changes, no force-push).
13
+
14
+
15
+ ## Method
16
+
17
+ 1. Default to drive mode for an explicit babysit request: resolve conflicts,
18
+ address review threads, and get checks green. Watch reports status only;
19
+ threads-only addresses review threads. Ask about mode only when the choice
20
+ materially changes the work.
21
+ 2. Work toward PR-ready in order: conflicts → review threads → CI. Keep a brief
22
+ checkpoint when continuity needs it; task progress is optional.
23
+ 3. Classify CI before retry: flake (rerun once) vs stale base (verify with
24
+ `git merge-base --is-ancestor` before updating) vs real failure (fix).
25
+ 4. Triage bot findings skeptically: reproduce or quote code before acting;
26
+ invalid bots get a reasoned dismissal, never silent ignore.
27
+ 5. Batch fixes into one push wave; re-verify green after every push.
28
+ 6. Stop at PR-ready. A PR creation or babysit request does not authorize merge
29
+ or release. Continue to merge or release only when the user explicitly sets
30
+ that delivery endpoint and host authority allows the action.
31
+
32
+ ## Completion
33
+
34
+ Report PR-ready status with evidence for fixes, or a brief blocker report. If
35
+ the user explicitly authorized merge, honor the configured strategy only after
36
+ checks and required approval. After a squash merge, re-record evidence against
37
+ the new base commit before closing tracked work.

+

4

5
+
6
+ # Behavioral TDD
7
+
8
+ Test the observable behavior at a stable boundary, not the implementation shape.
9
+ Use this method when assessment selects the `testing` dimension.
10
+
11
+
12
+ ## Method
13
+
14
+ 1. Inspect the task requirement, current candidate, intended behavior, and real
15
+ verification entry point with shared `task`, `policy`, and `evidence` operations.
16
+ 2. State one behavior and its observable result. Choose the narrowest stable
17
+ boundary a caller or user depends on; avoid private helpers and incidental
18
+ representations.
19
+ 3. Write one vertical RED slice that fails for the missing behavior, run it, and
20
+ preserve the actual failure as evidence. Implement the smallest change, then
21
+ run the same slice GREEN and record its result. Close enforces the order: a
22
+ testing requirement with GREEN but no preceding RED evidence stays unsatisfied.
23
+ 4. Add only another slice for a distinct behavior or risk. Reconcile stale
24
+ evidence if the candidate changes.
25
+
26
+ ## Reject noisy tests
27
+
28
+ - A dependency/version-pin assertion is not behavioral evidence.
29
+ - A test that mirrors branches, private calls, or exact implementation structure
30
+ is coupled to internals; replace it with the public effect.
31
+ - Duplicate assertions and tests that add no distinct failure signal are noise;
32
+ delete them.
33
+ - Do not claim a passing test satisfies a different requirement.
34
+ - Banned: tautologies (asserts what the code says, not what it must do),
35
+ ghost loops (assert inside a possibly-empty loop), smoke-only renders,
36
+ type-only or CSS-class coupling. If the test still passes when every
37
+ imported function returns undefined, rewrite the assertion or delete it.
38
+
39
+ Use shared `evidence` operations for RED/GREEN results. Do not add a second
40
+ lifecycle, approval chain, or test workflow outside the current task state.
41
+
42
+ ## Common mistakes
43
+
44
+ | Mistake | Correction |
45
+ | --- | --- |
46
+ | "The pin changed, so assert the new string" | Exercise the affected consumer behavior. |
47
+ | "The code is obvious" | A small vertical slice still proves the contract. |
48
+ | Keeping a passing test after the boundary moved | Mark it stale and retest the current candidate. |

6
+ # Blast radius beyond the diff
7

8
+ A small diff is not a small risk. Prove the one fact it is safe because of,
9
+ with runnable proof — not assertion.
10
+
11
+
12
+ ## Method
13
+
14
+ 1. List what the change touches: callers, shared state, contracts, config,
15
+ migrations. Grep every caller of each touched function.
16
+ 2. For each: state the one fact it is safe because of (type boundary,
17

+ 3. Run the proofs. Unproven claims stay labeled UNPROVEN in findings —

6
+ # Challenge open choices with evidence
7
+
8
+ Skip this method for a precise, settled request.
9
+
10
+ ## Method
11
+
12
+ 1. Ground the outcome, constraints, evidence, and important unknowns. Inspect
13
+ code and project docs before asking about facts they can answer.
14
+ 2. Separate observations, inferences, and proposals. Test assumptions that
15
+ could change the recommendation.
16
+ 3. When viable alternatives exist, present two or three genuinely different
17
+ approaches. Recommend one; for each, give its benefit, cost or risk, when it
18
+ fits, and the smallest useful validation. Do not invent a weak alternative.
19
+ 4. Ask only consequential questions, in dependency order. Group independent
20
+ choices into one small round. If an authorized reversible default works,
21
+ state it and proceed.
22
+ 5. Record a settled choice once in the existing conversation or task context.
23
+ A discussion decision is knowledge; never fabricate a native permission
24
+ receipt or reopen it without new evidence.
25
+ 6. Create durable documentation only when requested or when the decision needs
26
+ a future reader. Brainstorming alone does not require a spec.
27
+
28
+ Say directly when evidence shows a proposal is weak, overcomplicated, or solves
29
+ the wrong problem. Raise a counter-case only when it adds a real constraint.
30
+
31
+ ## Guardrails
32
+
33
+ - Do not create a universal spec, plan, approval chain, or second lifecycle.
34
+ - Unknowns that affect an action remain unresolved until evidence or a user
35
+ decision closes them.
36
+ - Use shared operations for tracked state and provenance; never write task
37
+ metadata directly.
38
+ - An in-session counter-case is not fresh-context review.

+
40
+ ## Common mistakes
41
+
42
+ | Mistake | Correction |
43
+ | --- | --- |
44
+ | Asking what code or docs already answer | Ground first; the user owns choices, not lookups. |

+ | Listing every hypothetical objection | Raise only objections that can change the decision. |
46
+ | Asking for agreement without a recommendation | Recommend an option and explain the tradeoff. |
47

6
+ # Handoff durable task state
7
+
8
+ Transfer continuity, not live authority. Use this method when a tracked item
9
+ must continue in another session, host, or agent.
10
+
11
+ ## Method
12
+
13
+ 1. Inspect the current task, scope, decisions, policy requirements, candidate,
14
+ evidence, findings, progress, and worker states with shared `task` and `state`
15
+ operations.
16
+ 2. Export the compact state through `state.export`. Preserve the objective,
17
+ exclusions, accepted decisions and reasons, evidence references, open gaps,
18
+ findings, candidate identity, blockers, and next action. Do not include
19
+ credentials, live writer ownership, or host authority.
20
+ 3. Import only through the destination `state.import` operation and its expected
21
+ workspace revision. The destination starts paused or otherwise unauthorised
22
+ until it observes its own host/session and reconciles stale evidence and
23
+ uncertain workers.
24
+ 4. Resume or continue through shared `task`, `policy`, `worker`, `writer`, and
25
+ `evidence` operations. Record what changed instead of copying a transcript.
26
+
27
+ A handoff does not require a formal spec or plan unless those are separate
28
+ selected requirements. Never grant destination authority from imported prose,
29
+ create a second lifecycle, or edit task metadata directly.

8
+ Implement within the user request and native host permissions. A task record and
9
+ writer ownership are optional coordination tools. Assignment never expands the
10
+ request, and a timeout is not proof that a worker stopped.
11
+
12
+ ## Method
13
+
14
+ 1. Inspect the repository, relevant rules, host capabilities, and current work.
15
+ Inspect task state only when this work is already tracked.
16
+ 2. If a helper is useful, assign one bounded objective with allowed paths,
17
+ applicable requirements, evidence needed, and a stopping condition. Helpers
18
+ cannot change scope, record binding decisions, close or pause the task, assign
19
+ helpers, or resolve blockers for the lead.
20
+ 3. Use writer ownership only when another Workit actor may mutate the same
21
+ checkout; release it when coordination ends. Cancellation remains uncertain
22
+ until process exit or explicit recovery.
23
+ 4. Reconcile helper reports and run the checks appropriate to the requested
24
+ outcome. If delegation is unavailable, continue inline when useful.
25
+ 5. Before a cross-repo mutation, resolve the actual checkout, branch and remote
26
+ from the request and current context. Ask only if competing plausible targets
27
+ remain unresolved. Branch, commit, direct push, PR-ready, merge and release
28
+ are distinct endpoints; perform only the authorized one under target rules.
29
+ Before saying done, reconcile every named deliverable against that checkout
30
+ and verify the requested result. For a push, observe the destination remote
31
+ ref and confirm it contains the delivered commit; report drift or missing
32
+ items as blockers instead of treating local success as remote delivery.
33
+
34
+ Do not edit Workit metadata directly, create nested helper trees, widen paths, or
35
+ create a second lifecycle. Read-only investigation and bounded reports do not
36
+ grant product-write ownership.
37
+
38
+ Do not request writer ownership for a solo edit. If a concurrent Workit writer
39
+ cannot be fenced, stop only the conflicting managed writes; ordinary writes still
40
+ follow the native host permission and sandbox.

+

44
+ | Mistake | Correction |
45

46
+ | "The helper timed out, so the writer is free" | Observe exit or perform explicit recovery. |

6
+ # Plan useful coordination
7
+
8
+ A plan is useful when work has dependent steps, a handoff, concurrent actors, or
9
+ meaningful unresolved choices. It is never a prerequisite for implementation.
10
+
11
+ ## Method
12
+
13
+ 1. Establish the requested outcome, constraints, dependencies, and important
14
+ unknowns from the available code, docs, and configuration before asking.
15
+ 2. Record only the useful sequence: objective, dependency, bounded outcome,
16
+ evidence needed, and next action. Reuse the project's existing format.
17
+ 3. Start a tracked record only when handoff, dependent steps, coordination, or
18
+ durable decisions need continuity. Infer observable facts instead of asking
19
+ the user to fill redundant protocol fields.
20
+ 4. Create a spec when a durable behavior contract or interface is requested or
21
+ will help a future reader. Use an ADR for a consequential trade-off and a
22
+ glossary for stable terms. A small fix needs no document.
23
+ 5. If the user authorized implementation, proceed through the agreed endpoint
24
+ and applicable checks. Do not ask for a separate plan approval or repeat
25
+ "continue?". Stop for a new consequential choice, host denial, conflict, or
26
+ blocker that cannot be resolved safely.
27
+ 6. Update a checkpoint at meaningful boundaries when another session may need
28
+ to resume. Keep settled decisions, changed files, actual checks, blockers,
29
+ and the next action; omit transcript and process trivia.
30
+
31
+ ## Shape
32
+
33
+ Plan slices as small end-to-end outcomes with explicit dependencies and checks.
34
+ Keep repo policy and native host authority separate. Preserve the user's branch
35
+ and commit conventions. Do not prescribe one commit per step or create a second
36
+ approval chain unless the user asked for that delivery format.
