+# Adoption Guide
+
+Use this guide when you want to add `trace-to-skill` to an open-source repository without changing how maintainers review pull requests.
+
+## 5-Minute Setup
+
+Run the initializer:
+
+```bash
+npx github:grnbtqdbyx-create/trace-to-skill init --comment --sarif
+```
+
+This creates:
+
+- `.github/workflows/codex-readiness.yml`
+- `.github/workflows/agent-learning.yml`
+- `runs/README.md`
+- `runs/.gitkeep`
+
+Open a pull request with those files first. Keep the first PR small so maintainers can review the policy separately from future agent traces.
+
+## Maintainer Workflow
+
+1. Run `trace-to-skill doctor .` before asking Codex to make repository changes.
+2. Run `trace-to-skill lint-agents .` to check `AGENTS.md`, tool-specific instruction files, and MCP config risk.
+3. Run `trace-to-skill guard-github-event "$GITHUB_EVENT_PATH"` before feeding issue, PR, comment, discussion, check-run, or commit text into an agent.
+4. Store anonymized failed agent logs in `runs/`.
+5. Run `trace-to-skill analyze runs --format markdown`.
+6. Run `trace-to-skill suggest runs --target agents-md`.
+7. Copy only the rules that have clear evidence into `AGENTS.md`.
+8. Run `trace-to-skill eval runs --threshold 80` in CI.
+9. Use `trace-to-skill scorecard-comment . --dry-run` before enabling scorecard PR comments.
+
+The goal is not to automate policy changes. The goal is to make repeated agent mistakes reviewable.
+
+## What To Commit
+
+Good first commit:
+
+```text
+.github/workflows/codex-readiness.yml
+.github/workflows/agent-learning.yml
+runs/README.md
+runs/.gitkeep
+```
+
+Good second commit:
+
+```text
+runs/failed-codex-session.md
+agent-learning-report.md
+AGENTS.generated.md
+```
+
+Review generated rules manually before merging them into `AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Privacy Checklist
+
+Before committing a trace:
+
+- Remove secrets, tokens, cookies, and customer data.
+- Treat GitHub issue bodies, PR comments, copied logs, and web pages as untrusted input.
+- Replace private file paths with stable placeholders.
+- Keep only the failure evidence needed for the report.
+- Prefer short excerpts over full transcripts.
+- Run `trace-to-skill analyze` again after redaction.
+
+`trace-to-skill` redacts common token patterns, but maintainers are still responsible for deciding what is safe to publish.
+
+## Pull Request Template
+
+```md
+## Why
+
+This PR adds a deterministic Codex readiness and agent-learning loop.
+
+## Proof
+
+- `trace-to-skill doctor .` score:
+- CI run:
+- Generated report:
+
+## Maintainer control
+
+Generated rules are suggestions only. Nothing writes to `AGENTS.md` automatically.
+```
+
+## Output Contracts
+
+For dashboards, bots, or custom CI:
+
+- `schemas/analysis-result.schema.json` describes `trace-to-skill analyze --format json`.
+- `schemas/agents-lint-result.schema.json` describes `trace-to-skill lint-agents --format json`.
+- `schemas/doctor-result.schema.json` describes `trace-to-skill doctor --format json`.
+- `schemas/scorecard-result.schema.json` describes `trace-to-skill scorecard --format json`.
+
+Use the schemas instead of scraping Markdown reports.

package/docs/FAILURE_TAXONOMY.md

@@ -0,0 +1,57 @@
+# Failure Taxonomy
+
+These are the first failure classes `trace-to-skill` detects.
+
+## Premature Completion
+
+The agent claims a task is done without verifiable command output, test names, screenshots, or reviewer-ready evidence.
+
+## Tests Not Run
+
+The agent changes code but skips validation, usually with language like "change looked small" or "not run".
+
+## Test Failure
+
+A test, build, typecheck, lint, or smoke command failed. The agent should continue the fix loop or report a precise blocker.
+
+## Hallucinated File
+
+The trace references a missing path, missing module, or nonexistent file. The fix is usually a repository navigation rule.
+
+## Instruction Drift
+
+Agent instruction files disagree or the agent ignores an existing repository rule.
+
+`trace-to-skill` checks common instruction files such as `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `.cursor/rules`, and `.github/copilot-instructions.md` for obvious contradictions:
+
+- different package managers for validation commands
+- "always run tests" vs "do not run tests"
+- approval required vs approval bypassed for destructive commands
+
+## Over-Editing
+
+The diff touches too many files for the requested task without matching plan and validation evidence.
+
+## Unsafe Command
+
+Destructive shell commands, privilege escalation, or remote script execution patterns appear in the trace.
+
+## Secret Exposure
+
+Credentials, API keys, or tokens appear in traces or reports.
+
+## Hidden Unicode
+
+Bidirectional or zero-width Unicode control characters appear in agent-visible instructions or patches.
+
+## Prompt Injection
+
+Untrusted issue bodies, PR comments, copied logs, or web pages instruct the agent to ignore maintainer policy, hide actions from reviewers, reveal hidden prompts, or exfiltrate secrets.
+
+The fix is to treat those surfaces as data unless the instruction is also present in a maintainer-controlled file such as `AGENTS.md`, workflow YAML, or source code owned by the repository.
+
+## MCP Risk
+
+MCP server configuration or tool usage appears without an explicit trust boundary, capability inventory, or approval policy.
+
+`trace-to-skill` also parses common `mcpServers` JSON shapes and reports capability hints such as filesystem, shell, browser, network, database, container, and secret-bearing environment variables.
