Design/branding for any user-facing repo becomes a vendor-neutral on-disk
contract — design/DESIGN.md (nine-section brief) + design/tokens.tokens.json
(W3C DTCG tokens) — that every agent reads before building UI. Claude Design
is the interchangeable cloud front-end, never a dependency.
- /design (main-thread command): inspiration-first scoping -> BRIEF.md -> user
drives the cloud step -> distill the export back into the contract. Phase-C
token distillation is agent-mediated because the export is inline-hardcoded
HTML/CSS, not DTCG.
- design-checker (read-only subagent): audits a repo's UI against its own
committed contract; says "run /design first" when none exists.
- /new-project scaffolds design/ for user-facing projects.
Harvest the retired idea-workshop skill into the current new-project flow:
- form-factor gate (is this even a standalone repo, or a feature/skill/agent
of something that exists? bail + reroute if so)
- worth-building gate at sign-off (build effort + ongoing tax -> BUILD/PARK/ADOPT)
- placement step that walks the new guides/placement.md
- falsifiable-exit substance rule and a posture section
- architectural decisions land in the new repo's AGENTS.md ## Decisions section,
absorbing the old DECISIONS.md function (no separate ADR file)
Add guides/placement.md (ported from the skill) and point how-i-work.md at it.
Its infra facts are UNVERIFIED (one-shot from chat history) and flagged for a
review pass with me (ROADMAP item 7).
Promote STATUS.md from an opt-in offer to standard behavior: every /roundup run now writes the report to ~/Projects/standards/STATUS.md (overwritten), shows it inline, and commits + pushes only that file so the portfolio state is diffable over time — the same durability reflex as /capture. STATUS.md remains the only file roundup writes; all project repos stay read-only. Updates guide (new Phase 4), wrapper, ROADMAP item 2, README, and Current state.
The inverse of /retrofit: workshops a captured (new) inbox idea into a repo that is standards-compliant from line one (AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md symlink, ROADMAP, canonical deny-by-default .gitignore, .claude wiring, inbox-check line), publishes via a manual Gitea-create gate, and clears the (new) inbox item. Resolves ROADMAP item 5 open questions (manual Gitea gate; stack quality gate deferred to /harden; workshop seeds Current state) and marks it BUILT.
Add the inbox loop (/capture, /triage, /roundup) to README's 'The rhythm' section. Capture the ten31-transcripts mini-retrofit to INBOX.md with step-by-step instructions for next triage. Reconcile ROADMAP item 6 + Current state: recap-relay remote added/pushed in a later session.
The cross-repo git-hygiene audit (ROADMAP item 6) found the documented canonical .claude/ block was allow-by-default and would have un-ignored a password-bearing .claude/launch.json. Switch portability.md to a deny-by-default .claude/* + allow-list block and align the two retrofit summaries. Mark item 6 done with residuals; refresh Current state.
Fans out a read-only reader per repo over AGENTS.md/ROADMAP.md, folds in the
standards inbox, and synthesizes one priority-grouped to-do list across all
projects (including untriaged inbox items and proposed new projects). Reads and
reports only — prioritizing across projects stays with the user.
Introduce the cross-project capture->triage->roadmap loop: /capture appends an
idea or bug to INBOX.md from any repo (new-project ideas included), /triage drains
a project's items into its AGENTS.md or ROADMAP.md. Give the standards repo its own
AGENTS.md (+ CLAUDE.md symlink) and ROADMAP.md so it follows its own standard, and
add a 'What git tracks' section to portability.md plus the canonical .gitignore
block answering what is committed vs gitignored around .claude and symlinks.
