| description | Close a completed Miadi Copilot/Hermes wave by auditing transcript evidence, changed files, validation, commit partitioning, Chronicle impact, and follow-up trigger decisions. |
Use this skill after a Copilot/Claude/Codex/Gemini/Hermes implementation wave says it is complete.
Why this exists
A wave can finish without committing anything.
That is not automatically wrong, but it is a distinct orchestration state. For Miadi, commits are disruptive Chronicle events: they change the living repo narrative and what future agents inherit.
Workflow
- Read the final wave report.
- Read the transcript or gist export.
- Run focused
git status --short for allowed paths.
- Run focused diff/stat for the changed paths.
- Run or re-run the validation script if available.
- Produce a changed-file ledger grouped by intent.
- Decide commit partitioning:
- implementation commit,
- validation/test commit,
- PDE/report commit,
- Chronicle/preproduction commit,
- orchestration-kit/self-evolution commit.
- Decide whether Hermes can commit directly or should spawn a closure subagent.
- Write a Chronicle event card describing what the commit would mean.
- Emit a closure decision.
Closure decisions
commit_ready: files are coherent, validation is sufficient, and commit boundaries are clear.commit_ready_with_runtime_caveat: static checks pass but live secrets/runtime checks remain.needs_commit_subagent: work is broad enough to deserve a dedicated commit/review worker.needs_human_gate: committing would create a significant narrative/runtime disruption.partial_retry_required: report is incomplete, transcript evidence missing, or validation failed.
Required closure packet
Write CLOSURE-GATE.md or equivalent with:
- issue/PDE anchor,
- transcript/gist reference,
- changed-file ledger,
- validation evidence,
- commit plan,
- Chronicle event seed,
- closure decision,
- next trigger.
Rule
Do not silently leave uncommitted work behind after reporting success. If no commit is made, explicitly say why and what must happen next.
