 # XTRM-Tools
 
-**Claude Code tools installer** — skills, hooks, MCP servers, and project-specific extensions.
+> **Claude Code plugin** — workflow enforcement, code quality gates, issue tracking, and development automation.
 
-> **ARCHITECTURAL DECISION (v2.0.0+):** xtrm-tools supports **Claude Code exclusively**. Hook translation for Gemini CLI and Qwen CLI was removed.
+**Version 2.3.0** | [Complete Guide](XTRM-GUIDE.md) | [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)
 
-> **MIGRATION NOTICE (v2.1.20+):** Core logic has moved to **Pi Extensions**. See the [Pi Extensions Migration Guide](docs/pi-extensions-migration.md).
-
-This repository contains production-ready extensions to enhance Claude's capabilities with prompt improvement, task delegation, development workflow automation, and quality gates. The `xtrm` CLI provides a robust, modular "Plug & Play" installation engine for project-specific tools.
+---

-## Project Skills & Hooks
+## What's Included
 
-Project skills are modular, plug-and-play tool packages extending Claude's capabilities for specific workflows. They install into your project's `.claude/` directory and include specific hooks enforcing local workflow rules and quality gates.
+### Core Enforcement
 
-### using-xtrm (Session Operating Manual)
-**The foundational operating manual for an xtrm-equipped session.**
-- **Invocation**: Activates automatically at session start via hook.
-- **Purpose**: Orients the agent on how to work within the xtrm stack: applying prompt improvement, using the beads issue-tracking gate, enforcing PR workflows, and combining the full toolset (gitnexus, Serena, quality gates, delegation).
-- **Core Workflow**: Provides the authoritative guide on feature-branch usage, requiring PRs for merges (with `--squash`), and stopping dangerous git commands on protected branches.
+| Component | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| **Main Guard** | PR-only workflow — blocks direct commits on `main`/`master` |
+| **Beads Gates** | Issue tracking — edit/commit/stop gates, memory prompts |
+| **Quality Gates** | Auto linting (ESLint, tsc, ruff, mypy) on file edits |
+| **GitNexus** | Knowledge graph context for code exploration |
 
-### Quality Gates (`using-quality-gates`)
-Code quality enforcement via the **Pi Extension** (`quality-gates.ts`), which fires on every mutating file tool result.
-- **TypeScript/JS**: delegates to project-local `.claude/hooks/quality-check.cjs` (ESLint + tsc)
-- **Python**: delegates to project-local `.claude/hooks/quality-check.py` (ruff + mypy)
-- Exit code 2 = blocking — Claude must fix before continuing.
-- No classic hook entry required; runs automatically when the Pi extension is loaded.
+### Skills
 
-> **Note:** `tdd-guard` is available as an installable project skill (`xtrm install project tdd-guard`) but is not enforced by default.
+| Skill | Type | Purpose |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| `using-xtrm` | Project | Session operating manual |
+| `documenting` | Global | SSOT documentation with drift detection |
+| `delegating` | Global | Task delegation to cost-optimized agents |
+| `orchestrating-agents` | Global | Multi-model collaboration |
 
-### Service Skills Set (Trinity)
-Task intake and service routing for Docker service projects.
-- **Invocation**: `/scope "task description"` or automatic via SessionStart hook.
-- **Purpose**: Gives Claude persistent, service-specific expertise without re-explaining architecture. Emits structured scope plans and detects codebase drift via PostToolUse hooks.
-
-### Core Project Hooks
+---
 
-**Main Guard (`main-guard.mjs`)**
-- **Trigger**: PreToolUse (Write|Edit|MultiEdit|Serena edit tools|Bash)
-- **Purpose**: Enforces PR-only merge workflow with full git protection. Blocks direct commits and dangerous `git checkout` / `git push` commands on protected branches (`main/master`).
-- **Post-Push (`main-guard-post-push.mjs`)**: After pushing a feature branch, reminds to use `gh pr merge --squash` and sync local via `git reset --hard origin/main`.
+## Plugin Structure
 
-**GitNexus Graph Context (`gitnexus-hook.cjs`)**
-- **Trigger**: PostToolUse (with Serena support and dedup cache)
-- **Purpose**: Enriches tool output with knowledge graph context via `gitnexus augment`.
-- *Note: `gitnexus-impact-reminder` was removed as impact analysis enforcement is now native.*

+├── skills → ../../skills         # Auto-discovered skills
+└── .mcp.json → ../../.mcp.json   # MCP servers
+```
 
-**Beads Issue Tracking Gates**
-- **Trigger**: PreToolUse (edit/commit), PostToolUse (claim sync), Stop (memory + stop gate), PreCompact, SessionStart
-- **Purpose**: Ensures all work is tracked to a `bd` issue. Blocks file edits without an active claim.
-- **Claim sync (`beads-claim-sync.mjs`)**: PostToolUse hook that syncs claim state after `bd update --claim` shell commands.
-- **Compaction**: `PreCompact` and `SessionStart` hooks preserve `in_progress` beads state across `/compact` events. Hook blocking messages are quieted and compacted to save tokens.
+All hook paths use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` — works from any installation location.
 
 ---
 
-## Global Skills
+## Policy System
 
-Global skills are reusable workflows installed to the user-level Claude environment (not tied to one repo). 
+Policies are the **single source of truth** for all enforcement rules. Located in `policies/`, they compile to both Claude hooks and Pi extensions.
 
-### documenting
-Maintains Single Source of Truth (SSOT) documentation system with drift detection.
-- **Invocation**: `/document [task]`
-- **Purpose**: Creates, updates, and validates SSOT documentation. Auto-generates INDEX blocks for rapid navigation. A Stop hook fires at session end to detect stale memories based on the `tracks:` frontmatter field.
+### Policy Files
 
-### delegating
-Proactively delegates tasks to cost-optimized agents before working in main session.
-- **Invocation**: `/delegate [task]` or `/delegating [task]`
-- **Purpose**: Routes simple deterministic tasks (tests, typos, formatting, docs) to GLM/Gemini/Qwen, and complex reasoning tasks to multi-agent orchestration. Interactive 2-step menu helps select the backend. Avoids main session token usage.
+| Policy | Runtime | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|---------|
+| `main-guard.json` | both | PR-only workflow |
+| `beads.json` | both | Issue tracking gates |
+| `quality-gates.json` | pi | Linting/typechecking |
+| `branch-state.json` | claude | Branch context injection |
+| `gitnexus.json` | claude | Knowledge graph enrichment |
 
-### orchestrating-agents
-Orchestrates task handoff and "handshaking" between Gemini and Qwen CLI agents.
-- **Invocation**: `/orchestrate [workflow-type] [task]`
-- **Purpose**: Facilitates multi-model collaboration, adversarial reviews, and deep cross-validation of complex logic. Workflows include collaborative design, adversarial security review, troubleshooting, and single handshakes.
+### Compiler
 
----
+```bash
+node scripts/compile-policies.mjs           # Generate hooks.json
+node scripts/compile-policies.mjs --check   # CI drift detection

 ---
 
-## Configuration
+## Issue Tracking (Beads)
 
-### MCP Servers
+```bash
+bd ready                    # Find unblocked work
+bd update <id> --claim      # Claim an issue
+bd close <id> --reason "Done"  # Close when done
+```
 
-Unified CLI sync configures core servers securely.
+---
 
-**Core Servers**:
-- **serena**: Code analysis (requires `uvx`)
-- **context7**: Documentation lookup (requires `CONTEXT7_API_KEY`)
-- **github-grep**: Code search
-- **deepwiki**: Technical documentation
-- **gitnexus**: Knowledge graph code intelligence (registered during `xtrm project init`)
+## Documentation
 
-Configured via `~/.config/xtrm-tools/.env`. Run `xtrm install basic` to sync interactively.
