End-of-change pass that brings AGENTS.md and skills/ back in step with the code. Load after any code change, before declaring done; it is the last step of the Definition of done.
# Sync the agent contract with the code `AGENTS.md` and `skills/*/SKILL.md` quote facts about the tree: file paths, function names, versions, flag defaults, CI steps. Code changes silently invalidate them. Run this diff-driven procedure before declaring a task done. ## 1. Inspect what changed ```bash git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD # or: git status --short for uncommitted work ``` ## 2. Find which contract docs mention what you changed 1. **Search `AGENTS.md` and `skills/`** for the file paths, package names, CLI flags, or exported symbols touched in your diff. 2. **Check by area**: - Package layout, CLI subcommands, CI steps (`.github/workflows/go.yml`), `Makefile`, `go.mod`, or `CONTRIBUTING.md` → check `AGENTS.md`. - Any domain listed in the `AGENTS.md` **Skills** table (for example, `internal/substrate`, `internal/guest`, `internal/metadata`, `ate-system` / `atenet-router` addresses, or E2E setup → `skills/substrate/SKILL.md`) → check that skill's `SKILL.md`. ## 3. Per-document checklist For each document you opened: - Every path it names exists (`ls` it). - Every function/const/flag it names still exists under that name. - Every number it states (file counts, package counts, versions) is re-derived, not trusted. - Every "only place that…" / "no X exists" statement is re-checked across the tree, not just in the changed file. - Removed behaviour is removed from the doc; renamed behaviour is renamed. - New behaviour that a future agent would get wrong without being told is added — as a fact with its location, not as advice. - Prefer a pointer ("see `go.mod`") over copying a value that changes often. ## 4. Quick structural check Run this one-liner whenever `AGENTS.md` or `skills/` was touched: ```bash # Verify symlinks and that every skills/<name>/SKILL.md is indexed in AGENTS.md test -L CLAUDE.md && test -L GEMINI.md && \ for d in skills/*/; do s=$(basename "$d") test -f "$d/SKILL.md" && grep -q "\`/$s\`" AGENTS.md || echo "MISSING: $s" done ```
