debutant:refresh
Modernise an existing debian/ directory to the active house style.
This is the most dangerous worker in the suite. The maintainer
made deliberate choices when they wrote the existing packaging;
your job is to propose updates, with citations, and let the
maintainer accept or reject each one. Default mode is dry-run.
Preconditions
- A context JSON exists at
./.debutant/context.json. If missing,
build it: run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/detect-source.sh
and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/tooling-probe.sh, merge their
outputs (see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared-context.md for the
full schema).
source.has_debian_dir == true. If false, refuse and suggest
/debutant:bootstrap.
Hard rules
Suite-wide (apply to every debutant skill):
- Never invoke
dput, debrelease, dgit push, or any upload
command.
- Never
git push to any remote.
- Never edit
debian/changelog distribution from UNRELEASED to
anything else.
- Never edit
Maintainer: or Uploaders: fields.
- Never edit upstream source files directly (use
debian/patches/
with DEP-3 headers).
- Never run or on the workspace.
