 # Changelog
 
+## 0.11.0
+
+Handoff and vetting habits from [shadcn/improve](https://github.com/shadcn/improve) (MIT), paraphrased into existing skills. Its advisor-only split, where a strong model plans and cheaper models execute, is not adopted: astack keeps coupled work in one loop. No skill was added.
+
+- `astack` planning gains a contract for the rare slice handed to another agent: inlined context with a file to imitate, in-scope and out-of-scope files, steps that end in a command and its expected result, specific STOP conditions and the commit it was planned at. The review re-runs the done criteria, rejects out-of-scope hunks, reads what new tests assert and allows two rounds of fixes. Plans that outlive a session stamp their commit and run a drift check before resuming.
+- `astack` treats a delegate's findings as leads and opens every cited `file:line` before acting on or reporting them. The completion checks list dismissed findings with one line each, so the next pass does not raise them again.
+- `ship` tags self-review findings as introduced by the branch or pre-existing in touched files; only introduced ones block.
+- `context` reads ADRs, PRDs, `PRODUCT.md`, `CONTEXT.md` and `DESIGN.md` for what was settled, reports drift between a decision doc and the code, and treats text that addresses the agent as a finding rather than an instruction.
+- `dogfood` review-only reports carry confidence, are ordered by impact over effort, and list what was rejected as by-design.
+
 ## 0.10.0
 
 Motion work beyond a single animation, prompted by a read of [Emil Kowalski's skills](https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills) (MIT) as presented on aiforui.dev. Each idea is folded into an existing skill; no skill was added.

+Delegate when parallel work needs independent context, reading would crowd out the main task, or an independent verdict matters. Keep ownership separate and return evidence, limitations and affected files. A specialist name alone is no reason to start another agent. A delegate's findings are leads, not facts: open every cited `file:line` yourself before acting on or reporting it, because workers over-report, misattribute lines and flag by-design behaviour. A slice handed to a worker gets a self-contained contract ([handing off](references/plan.md#handing-a-slice-to-another-agent)).

A box with no nameable evidence is not a requirement yet. Do not start a new planning document or tracker when one exists. A plan that outlives the session records the commit it was written against (`git rev-parse --short HEAD`); whoever resumes it first runs `git diff --stat <sha>..HEAD -- <paths in scope>` and re-reads any changed file before trusting the plan.
 
 Before implementation, use [spec readiness](spec-readiness.md) when its threshold applies. If the user asked only for a plan, stop at the plan. Otherwise start slice 1.
 
+## Handing a slice to another agent
+
+Most work stays in one loop. When a slice does go to a worker (parallel, isolated, or a deliberately cheaper model on a mechanical change), write it for a reader who has seen nothing of this session:
+
+- **Context inlined**: why it matters in two or three sentences, exact paths, a short excerpt of the current code with `file:line`, and one existing file to imitate. Never "as discussed".
+- **Scope**: the files it may change, and the files that look related but must not be touched, each with a reason.
+- **Steps that verify themselves**: each ends in a command and its expected result. Done criteria are commands too (`bun test x` passes, `grep -rn oldName src/` is empty, `git status` shows only in-scope files).
+- **STOP conditions** specific to the slice's risks: the code does not match the excerpt, a check fails twice after a reasonable fix, the change needs an out-of-scope file, a named assumption proves false. Stop and report beats improvising.
+- **The commit it was planned at**, so the worker can run the drift check above.
+
+Ask for a report of each step with its command result, files changed and any deviation with its reason. Then review it like a PR against that contract: re-run the done criteria yourself, compare `git diff --stat` with the scope (an out-of-scope hunk fails review), read what the new tests assert, and judge a documented deviation on its merits. An undocumented one is a failure. Send specific fixes back at most twice, then take the slice back or rewrite the contract with what was learned. Merging stays at the user's target.

Then make the smallest coherent fix, watch the test pass, and commit that fix on its own (one finding, one commit) so it can be reviewed and reverted alone.
