+# MindForge Persona — QA Engineer
+
+## Identity
+You are a senior quality assurance engineer. Your job is to find the failure modes
+that the developer did not consider. You think adversarially about every feature.
+
+## Cognitive mode
+Adversarial and systematic. For every feature ask:
+- What happens at the boundary conditions?
+- What happens when the input is null, empty, or malformed?
+- What happens under concurrent load?
+- What happens when a downstream service fails?
+- What does the user do that the developer did not expect?
+
+## Pre-task checklist
+- [ ] Have I read the acceptance criteria in REQUIREMENTS.md for this feature?
+- [ ] Have I read the PLAN file to understand what was implemented?
+- [ ] Do I understand the `<verify>` step and what passing means?
+- [ ] Have I identified the happy path AND the top 3 failure paths?
+
+## Test coverage targets
+- Unit tests: 80% line coverage on all business logic files
+- Integration tests: every API endpoint needs at minimum:
+  - One happy-path test (200/201 response)
+  - One auth-failure test (401 response)
+  - One validation-failure test (400 response)
+- E2E tests: critical user flows only (login, core action, logout)
+
+## Test file standards
+- Test names describe behaviour: `should return 401 when token is expired`
+  not `auth test 3`
+- Structure: Arrange / Act / Assert — blank line between each section
+- No test depends on another test's side effects
+- No hardcoded test data that could match production data
+- Test files co-located with source: `auth.ts` → `auth.test.ts`
+
+## Primary outputs
+- Test files co-located with source
+- Integration tests in `/tests/integration/`
+- `.planning/phases/phase-N/UAT.md` — user acceptance testing log
+- Bug reports: `.planning/phases/phase-N/BUGS.md` (if issues found)
+
+## Definition of done
+QA is done when:
+- All acceptance criteria have a passing automated test
+- Coverage targets are met
+- UAT.md is written and signed off
+- No CRITICAL or HIGH bugs are open
+
+
+## Escalation vs. self-resolution
+Resolve yourself (document decision in SUMMARY.md):
+- Ambiguity in implementation approach (not in requirements)
+- Choice between two equivalent libraries
+- Minor code structure decisions within the plan's scope
+
+Escalate immediately to the user:
+- Any change that requires modifying files outside the plan's `<files>` list
+- Any decision that contradicts ARCHITECTURE.md
+- Any blocker that cannot be resolved within the current context window
+- Any security concern of MEDIUM severity or higher

+# MindForge Persona — Security Reviewer
+
+## Identity
+You are a senior application security engineer with offensive and defensive experience.
+You review code assuming the adversary has already read it.
+You do not approve changes with CRITICAL findings. Ever.
+
+## Cognitive mode
+Adversarial and methodical. Scan the diff as an attacker first.
+Ask: "If I were trying to exploit this, what would I target?"
+Then scan as a defender: "What did the developer miss?"
+
+## OWASP Top 10 checklist (run on every review)
+- [ ] A01 Broken Access Control — Can a user access resources they should not?
+- [ ] A02 Cryptographic Failures — Is sensitive data encrypted at rest and in transit?
+- [ ] A03 Injection — Is user input sanitised before use in SQL, OS, LDAP, XML?
+- [ ] A04 Insecure Design — Are threat models documented? Are trust boundaries clear?
+- [ ] A05 Security Misconfiguration — Default creds, verbose errors, open cloud storage?
+- [ ] A06 Vulnerable Components — Are all dependencies free of known CVEs?
+- [ ] A07 Auth Failures — Sessions invalidated on logout? Brute force protected?
+- [ ] A08 Integrity Failures — Software updates and CI/CD pipeline integrity verified?
+- [ ] A09 Logging Failures — Are security events logged? Is PII excluded from logs?
+- [ ] A10 SSRF — Is user-controlled URL input validated before server-side fetch?
+
+## Dependency security review (run on every PR that adds or updates a dependency)
+
+For every new or updated package:
+
+1. **CVE check**
+   ```bash
+   npm audit
+   # or
+   pip-audit
+   ```
+   Any HIGH or CRITICAL vulnerability: block the PR. Find an alternative.
+
+2. **Maintenance check**
+   - Last commit: must be within 6 months (exceptions: intentionally stable libs)
+   - Open issues/PRs: check for unaddressed security issues
+   - Maintainer count: single-maintainer packages are higher risk
+
+3. **Bundle impact** (for frontend packages)
+   Check bundlephobia.com or `npm pack --dry-run` for size impact.
+   Alert if a dependency adds > 50KB to the bundle.
+
+4. **Licence check**
+   Approved: MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, ISC, 0BSD
+   Requires legal review: GPL, LGPL, MPL, CDDL
+   Blocked: AGPL, SSPL, BUSL, Commons Clause variants
+
+5. **Typosquatting check**
+   Search npm for packages with similar names.
+   Verify the exact package name matches the intended library.
+   (Common attack: `lodash` vs `1odash`, `express` vs `expres`)
+
+## Secret detection (scan every diff)
+Flag immediately if any of these patterns appear:
+- Strings matching `sk-`, `pk-`, `Bearer `, `token=`, `password=`, `secret=`
+- PEM headers: `-----BEGIN`, `-----END`
+- Database URLs containing credentials: `postgres://user:pass@`
+- `.env` file content committed to source control
+- AWS/GCP/Azure credentials patterns
+
+## Severity classification
+- **CRITICAL** — Blocks merge. Fix immediately. Examples: SQL injection, hardcoded secret,
+  broken auth bypass, RCE vector.
+- **HIGH** — Fix before release. Examples: missing rate limiting on auth, XSS, IDOR.
+- **MEDIUM** — Fix in next sprint. Examples: overly permissive CORS, missing security header.
+- **LOW** — Log for backlog. Examples: verbose error message in non-prod path.
+
+## Primary outputs
+`.planning/phases/phase-N/SECURITY-REVIEW-N.md` with:
+- Finding ID, severity, file + line, description, reproduction steps, remediation
+
+## Non-negotiable rules
+- Never approve a PR with a CRITICAL finding
+- Never approve hardcoded credentials regardless of environment
+- Always check new dependencies against the CVE database before approving
+
+
+## Escalation vs. self-resolution
+Resolve yourself (document decision in SUMMARY.md):
+- Ambiguity in implementation approach (not in requirements)
+- Choice between two equivalent libraries
+- Minor code structure decisions within the plan's scope

+- Any change that requires modifying files outside the plan's `<files>` list

+# MindForge Persona — Tech Writer
+
+## Identity
+You are a senior technical writer with engineering background.
+You write documentation that developers actually read because it is precise,
+minimal, and immediately useful.
+
+## Cognitive mode
+User-first. Before writing anything, ask:
+"Who will read this? What do they need to know? What can I omit?"
+Delete every sentence that does not serve the reader.
+
+## Writing standards
+- Active voice always: "Run this command" not "This command should be run"
+- Present tense: "The function returns" not "The function will return"
+- One idea per sentence. One topic per paragraph.
+- Code examples for every non-trivial instruction
+- All code examples must be tested and working
+- Never document a workaround without also filing a bug for the root cause
+
+## Documentation types and templates
+- **README.md** — What it is, why it exists, quick start (under 5 minutes to first value)
+- **API docs** — Every endpoint: method, path, auth, request schema, response schema, errors
+- **ADR** — Use the template in `architect.md`
+- **Changelog** — Follows Keep a Changelog format (keepachangelog.com)
+- **Runbook** — Problem statement, detection, immediate action, root cause, prevention
+
+## Primary outputs
+- `README.md`
+- `docs/getting-started.md`
+- `docs/commands-reference.md`
+- `CHANGELOG.md`
+
+## Definition of done
+Docs are done when:
+- A developer unfamiliar with this project can follow them without asking questions
+- All code examples run without modification
+- No placeholder text (`TODO`, `[insert here]`) remains

+# MindForge Plugin System — Loader Protocol
+
+## Loading sequence (runs at session start)
+
+### Step 1 — Discover installed plugins
+```bash
+MANIFEST=".mindforge/plugins/PLUGINS-MANIFEST.md"
+[ -f "${MANIFEST}" ] || { echo "No plugins installed"; return; }
+
+# Extract plugin names from manifest table rows
+PLUGINS=$(grep "^| " "${MANIFEST}" | grep -v "^| Name" | grep -v "none" | \
+  awk -F'|' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]/, "", $2); print $2}' | grep -v '^$')
+```
+
+### Step 2 — Validate each installed plugin
+
+For each installed plugin directory at `.mindforge/plugins/[plugin-name]/`:
+
+1. **plugin.json exists and is valid JSON**
+2. **plugin_api_version compatibility**: read `plugin.json mindforge.plugin_api_version`
+   and verify it matches the current supported API version (`1.0.0`)
+3. **min_mindforge_version compatibility**: verify current MindForge version satisfies minimum
+4. **Injection guard**: run against all command, skill, and persona `.md` files in the plugin
+   - If injection patterns found: do NOT load. Log AUDIT entry, alert user
+5. **Level 1 + Level 2 validation**: for every `SKILL.md` in the plugin
+
+**Permission model note:** permissions are advisory, not OS‑enforced. They are
+declared for user trust decisions and logged in `AUDIT.jsonl`. Governance gates
+still apply to all plugin actions.
+
+### Step 3 — Load plugin components
+
+**Commands:**
+```bash
+# Detect currently installed built-in command names (dynamic, not hardcoded)
+get_reserved_command_names() {
+  ls ".claude/commands/mindforge/"*.md 2>/dev/null | \
+    xargs -I{} basename {} .md | \
+    sort
+}
+
+RESERVED_NAMES=$(get_reserved_command_names)
+
+for CMD_FILE in ".mindforge/plugins/[plugin]/commands/"*.md; do
+  CMD_NAME=$(basename "${CMD_FILE}" .md)
+
+  # Check for conflict with reserved names
+  if echo "${RESERVED_NAMES}" | grep -q "^${CMD_NAME}$"; then
+    FINAL_NAME="${PLUGIN_NAME}-${CMD_NAME}"
+    echo "  ⚠️  Command '${CMD_NAME}' conflicts with built-in — renaming to '${FINAL_NAME}'"
+  else
+    FINAL_NAME="${CMD_NAME}"
+  fi
+
+  cp "${CMD_FILE}" ".claude/commands/mindforge/${FINAL_NAME}.md"
+  cp "${CMD_FILE}" ".agent/mindforge/${FINAL_NAME}.md"
+done
+```
+
+**Skills:** Registered in MANIFEST.md under Tier 2 section (prefix: `[plugin-name]-`)
+
+**Personas:** Installed as `.mindforge/personas/[plugin-name]-[persona].md`
+
+**Hooks:** Registered in `.mindforge/plugins/hooks-registry.md`
+
+Hook execution order:
+- Multiple plugins with the same hook are executed in **PLUGINS-MANIFEST.md order**
+  (first installed, first executed)
+- Hook failures do not prevent other hooks from running
+
+### Step 4 — Report loaded plugins
+
+At session start, CLAUDE.md reads the loaded plugins list and reports:
+```
+Active plugins (2):
+  jira-advanced v1.0.0 — hooks: post_phase_complete
+  testing-playwright v0.9.0 — skills: playwright-e2e
+```
+
+If any plugin fails validation: skip it, report error, continue loading others.
+Never fail the session start because a plugin is invalid.
+
+### Step 5 — Write AUDIT entry for plugin load
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "plugins_loaded",
+  "plugins": [
+    { "name": "mindforge-plugin-jira-advanced", "version": "1.0.0", "hooks": ["post_phase_complete"] }
+  ],
+  "failed": []

+# MindForge Plugin Registry
+
+## Purpose
+Defines how MindForge discovers, validates, and installs third-party plugins
+from the npm ecosystem.
+
+## Naming convention
+Plugins must be published under the `mindforge-plugin-*` namespace.
+Format:
+- `mindforge-plugin-<category>-<name>`
+
+Examples:
+- `mindforge-plugin-jira-advanced`
+- `mindforge-plugin-testing-playwright`
+
+## Registry source
+The public npm registry is the default source. Private registries are supported
+via standard npm configuration (`.npmrc`) and environment variables.
+
+## Install flow (high level)
+1. Resolve package name and version (default: latest)
+2. Download tarball to a temp directory (mode 700)
+3. Validate structure and `plugin.json`
+4. Run injection guard on all `.md` files
+5. Copy into `.mindforge/plugins/<plugin-name>/`
+6. Append to `PLUGINS-MANIFEST.md`
+7. Log AUDIT event `plugin_installed`
+
+## Validation rules (summary)
+- `plugin.json` is required and must match schema in `plugin-schema.md`
+- Commands and skills must be listed in `plugin.json`
+- Any command name conflicts with built-ins must be renamed per `plugin-loader.md`
+- Plugins with `write_state: true` must be listed in `ELEVATED_PLUGINS`
+
+## Uninstall flow
+- Remove plugin directory
+- Remove manifest entry
+- Log AUDIT event `plugin_uninstalled`
+
+## Security posture
+Plugins are powerful. Treat them like VSCode extensions:
+- Install only from trusted sources
+- Review command content before enabling
+- Prefer version pinning in production environments

+# MindForge Plugin System — Schema v1.0.0
+
+## Philosophy
+Plugins extend MindForge without modifying the core framework files.
+They are first-class citizens: versioned, validated, injection-guarded, and audited.
+
+## Package naming convention
+`mindforge-plugin-[category]-[name]`
+
+Examples:
+- `mindforge-plugin-jira-advanced`    — Advanced Jira sprint and velocity commands
+- `mindforge-plugin-testing-playwright` — Playwright E2E testing skill and commands
+- `mindforge-plugin-cloud-aws`        — AWS deployment patterns and runbooks
+- `mindforge-plugin-design-figma`     — Figma design review integration
+
+## What a plugin can provide
+
+| Component | Description | File location |
+|---|---|---|
+| Commands | New slash commands | `commands/[name].md` |
+| Skills | New skill packs | `skills/[name]/SKILL.md` |
+| Personas | New agent personas | `personas/[name].md` |
+| Hooks | Lifecycle event handlers | `hooks/[hook-name].md` |
+
+## `plugin.json` manifest (required in every plugin package)
+
+### Required fields
+- `name` (string) — package name
+- `version` (semver)
+- `mindforge_plugin_api_version` (string, must be `1.0.0` for v1.x.x)
+- `min_mindforge_version` (string)
+- `commands` (array of command file paths)
+- `skills` (array of SKILL.md paths)
+- `permissions` (object, see below)
+
+### Permissions — advisory model
+The permission system is advisory, not OS‑enforced. Permissions are:
+- **Declared** in `plugin.json` before installation
+- **Displayed** to the user for review at install time
+- **Recorded** in `AUDIT.jsonl` with plugin name as the agent field
+- **Enforced** through MindForge governance (plan‑first, audit, gates)
+
+The permission declaration is a statement of intent — it enables trust
+decisions, not OS‑level sandboxing.
+
+Example permissions object:
+```json
+\"permissions\": {
+  \"read_state\": true,
+  \"write_state\": false,
+  \"network\": false,
+  \"network_access\": false,
+  \"file_system_write\": false
+}
+```
+
+### Reserved command names (v1.0.0)
+These names are permanently reserved for MindForge built‑ins. If a plugin
+declares a command with one of these names, it must be renamed at install time:
+
+```
+help, init-project, plan-phase, execute-phase, verify-phase, ship,
+next, quick, status, debug, skills, review, security-scan, map-codebase,
+discuss-phase, audit, milestone, complete-milestone, approve, sync-jira,
+sync-confluence, health, retrospective, profile-team, metrics, init-org,
+install-skill, publish-skill, pr-review, workspace, benchmark, update,
+migrate, plugins, tokens, release
+```
