github-devloop is an autonomous issue→develop→PR→review→merge loop on GitHub driven by a long-running fkst-framework supervise; this skill is the operating doctrine for dogfooding it.
The system IS the dogfood - our job is to keep the pipeline FLOWING, file good issues, and fix the SYSTEM-level real defects it exposes.
Load context before acting; do not re-derive the doctrine from scratch.
Read (CLAUDE.md is at the repo root; the rest are memory entries, recalled by exact name):

The memory files carry detail and incident history. This skill is the decision tree.
sshx to think it through and decide — independent worker perspectives are the gate, not a human prompt. Never act rashly, and never stall waiting for a human.sshx (multi-angle), check in-flight PR dependencies + branch ancestry FIRST, and proceed only if sshx confirms it is both safe AND necessary. Deleting a base branch auto-closes its open PRs.fkst-substrate repo, never here. A package fix must work package-side; an engine need is a separate substrate PR.dev; make EVERY change in a dedicated worktree via a PR — never edit the pinned checkout. The checkout this skill + dogfood.sh are loaded from stays on dev (pull to keep current; never commit to it, leave it on a feature branch, or modify its working tree — a stale or feature-branch checkout silently loads a stale skill/tooling and dirties the reference of what dev actually is). Make every operator change — an out-of-band hotfix, a skill / dogfood.sh / doc edit, anything — in a SEPARATE git worktree cut from dev (git worktree add <path> -b <type>/<topic> origin/dev), commit on that branch, and open a PR to dev (CI-gated, squash-merged); the pinned checkout then git pulls dev to pick it up. The dogfood supervises run from their own dogfood.sh-managed checkouts (separate again), kept current by dogfood.sh restart. This is the operator side of "autonomous changes flow integration → rollup → dev": even out-of-band operator work lands through a reviewed PR, not a dirty checkout.sshx to think it through and decide, and file an issue for the record.The operator tooling is dogfood.sh in this skill directory (.claude/skills/dogfood-github-devloop/dogfood.sh) — one DRY multi-tool that encodes the launch env, the restart-to-deploy invariant, the BIN-freshness rebuild, and the board sweep, so each wake is a few clean calls instead of ad-hoc bash. Commands: status | doctor | config | board | bin | start | stop | restart | logs (each takes [packages|substrate|website|all]).
Per-machine config (we run 3 repos across 2 machines). The script is identical on every host; device-specific values — DOGFOOD_ROOT (worktree/scratch base), BOT (gh login), INTEGRATION_BRANCH (e.g. integration vs integration-<device>), DOGFOOD_REPOS (which repos this host drives), and the STABLE DUR_* durable roots — are sourced from dogfood.config.sh (gitignored, per-machine; copy dogfood.config.example.sh). Everything has a generic default (paths derive from $DOGFOOD_ROOT), precedence is env > config > default. Run dogfood.sh config to print what THIS host resolved (verify the DUR_* match the running supervises before a restart, or it strands in-flight events). A second machine just needs its own dogfood.config.sh (its BOT, integration-<device>, paths, durable roots) — no script edits.
Checkout discipline: main checkout = dev, read-only; all work in worktrees. Keep the main checkouts (~/fkst-packages, ~/fkst-substrate) on dev, current, and treat them as a clean, immutable dev mirror — NEVER run the framework (scripts/run.sh test/run/supervise) or create work branches in a main checkout. The engine writes .fkst/runtime* scratch relative to its project-root, so running in a main checkout pollutes it (scattered .fkst/runtime*, plus per-package packages/<pkg>/.fkst/ when a package is the project-root) and drifts the branch. All work runs in independent worktrees: dogfood supervises in their $DOGFOOD_ROOT/*-dogfood worktrees (dogfood.sh handles this), and out-of-band fixes/PRs in a fresh git worktree add … origin/dev removed after merge. (Editing a skill/config text file in the main checkout is not "running" — it does not pollute — but persist it via a worktree PR like any change.)
Directory layout (one base dir per machine; replicate on every host). Every dogfood checkout, durable store, log, and runtime scratch lives under $DOGFOOD_ROOT (per-machine, e.g. ~/.fkst/dogfood; see docs/user/machine-fkst-home-layout.md), so a second machine reproduces the whole setup by pointing its dogfood.config.sh at its own $DOGFOOD_ROOT. Each target dir holds the target's own clone (HOST = the supervise's --project-root) and, for the non-packages targets, a sibling fkst-packages clone (PKGSRC) that supplies the shared devloop trio. dogfood.sh derives these paths and syncs them; create them once (one clone per slot):
$DOGFOOD_ROOT/ # per-machine base (config: DOGFOOD_ROOT; everything below derives from it)
pkgs-dogfood/ # fkst-packages clone — HOST==PKGSRC for the `packages` target
packages/{github-devloop,github-proxy,consensus,…} # committed package SOURCE (platform trio + the whole library)
website-dogfood/
site/ # fkst-website clone — HOST (project-root for the website supervise)
packages/site-board/ # the website's OWN custom package, committed at its repo-root packages/
pkgs/ # fkst-packages clone — PKGSRC (supplies the trio to the website supervise)
substrate-dogfood/
sub/ # fkst-substrate clone — HOST (project-root)
pkgs/ # fkst-packages clone — PKGSRC (supplies the trio to the substrate supervise)
durable/<name>/ # STABLE redb durable roots (DUR_*) — REUSED across restarts, never freshed on a normal restart
<name>-sv-<ts>.log # supervise logs (LOGDIR)
dogfood-rt-<name>.<ts>/ # fresh runtime scratch per launch (pruned by dogfood.sh)
Packages load from repo-root packages/, never .fkst/. .fkst/ in ANY checkout is engine RUNTIME/build only (gitignored: runtime/, durable/, substrate-src/, board-cache.json) — it holds no committed code. Committed package source lives at repo-root packages/<pkg> in every repo. So dogfood.sh wires --package-root <repo>/packages/<pkg>: the shared trio (github-devloop/github-proxy/consensus) from $PKGSRC/packages/, plus each target's repo-local custom package (e.g. website's site-board) from $HOST/packages/. The trio is NOT vendored into target repos; it is supplied by that target's sibling pkgs clone. The three fkst-packages clones (pkgs-dogfood, website-dogfood/pkgs, substrate-dogfood/pkgs) are each synced independently — intentional isolation so concurrent restarts never race on one git tree, not duplicated logic.
The dogfood RUNS ON the machine's integration branch, not dev. dogfood.sh restart/sync put every dogfood run checkout (each target's PKGSRC behavior clone + its HOST) on INTEGRATION_BRANCH (e.g. integration-<device>), so the supervise loads this device's OWN pre-rollup code — it is the live integration test of its autonomous changes BEFORE they promote to dev (feature → integration-<device> → rollup PR → dev). The rollup target stays dev (FKST_DEVLOOP_UPSTREAM_BRANCH); the integration branch auto-syncs forward from dev (sync_scan ff's dev → integration-<device>, so it is always ≥ dev); the engine BIN still builds from ~/fkst-substrate on dev; and the pinned operator/skill checkout (~/fkst-packages) stays on dev. So doctor compares the running behavior against integration-<device> (PKG-freshness) and the engine against dev (ENGINE-freshness).
Run / restart with dogfood.sh restart [name|all]. It ensures the engine BIN is fresh, checks out the run checkouts to the machine's INTEGRATION_BRANCH (see Directory layout — rollup target stays dev), SIGKILLs the old supervise (releasing the redb lock), and relaunches detached with real write posture (FKST_GITHUB_WRITE=1), a fresh runtime scratch root, and the SAME stable durable root. Two invariants the script encodes (preserve them if you ever launch by hand):
CLAUDE.md): FKST_RUNTIME_ROOT is scratch (fresh each launch); FKST_DURABLE_ROOT is the redb persistent store and is REUSED across restarts so in-flight persisted events resume. A fresh durable root throws the durable queue away and strands mid-state issues (stuck at ready/implementing, never re-triggered — #62/#78). Fresh it ONLY for a deliberate clean-slate wipe.BIN is exported in the env (not only --framework-bin) so the spawned implement/fix codex can run scripts/run.sh test (its worktree has no .env). AND — a direct BIN supervise launch does NOT auto-build like scripts/run.sh does, so the BIN silently goes stale when substrate dev moves (an engine .rs fix merges); dogfood.sh rebuilds it from substrate origin/dev before every start/restart (detect stale = substrate origin/dev ahead OR any crate .rs newer than the BIN; dogfood.sh bin does it standalone). A supervise on a stale BIN silently re-runs already-fixed engine defects.Keep the running code current — dogfood.sh sync does it in one call; only a RESTART reloads. The supervise loads packages/ and execs the engine BIN at STARTUP; syncing the worktree files or rebuilding the BIN does NOT reload a running process. So after ANY merge to dev (your out-of-band hotfix or an autonomous rollup) — and after any substrate engine merge — run dogfood.sh sync: it fast-forwards the pinned operator checkouts to dev, rebuilds the BIN, and auto-restarts ONLY the supervises whose RUNNING code is a real package/engine change (pkg-stale/engine-stale), leaving skill/docs-only skew and already-current processes running (a restart would only churn in-flight codex for no code change). Run it every wake (and after every merge you land); it is the standard keep-current action — restart is the unconditional force-restart for when you explicitly need one. Do NOT sync a worktree without restarting to "avoid churn": it leaves the process on stale code while the worktree looks current, hiding the staleness (observed: a supervise silently 22 engine-commits behind, re-running already-fixed defects, while the worktree read current). dogfood.sh doctor reports the running process's loaded PKG_VERS/ENGINE_VER (from its startup code_provenance log line) against the run branch — PKG vs integration-<device>, ENGINE vs dev: PKG-STALE/ENGINE-STALE means the live process is stale regardless of the worktree (and sync will restart it); pkg-skew means the run branch moved but only non-packages/ files (no restart needed). It is the authoritative freshness signal — the worktree/BIN-file checks only say the NEXT restart will be current.
Watch it. Use "What to observe". If state keeps advancing, do NOT intervene - observe, and file issues only for real system defects.
When it stalls, go to the Stall decision tree.
Every activation, FIRST sweep the full board with dogfood.sh board — do not skip to logs. It classifies every open issue/PR across both repos (fkst-dev:<state> label + per-PR CI + recency) into ✓ flowing / tracking / parked vs ⚠ STUCK / STRANDED / CI-RED / NO-CI. The label is a fast UI hint; for any item flagged ⚠, cross-check its authoritative state:v1 marker / the linked PR before acting (a STUCK implementing can be a live codex whose issue updated_at is just old). The goal is to catch, per item, two failure shapes the log alone hides:
ready/reviewing/fixing/thinking with no new marker), or an issue sitting with no state at all (intake never decided, or decline-dead-ended).declined or blocked, a review reject that should have been a converge, a PR that re-opened/churned, a redundant autonomous PR duplicating an out-of-band fix, a +0/-0 rollup.Only after the board sweep, check the running process (dogfood.sh doctor rolls up supervise liveness + panic + code currency + BIN freshness + graphql in one line each):
github_poll.integration-<device> == dev, no +0/-0 rollup PR.dead_letter publish failed in steady-state. If it recurs, it is a real robustness gap, such as marker-lag retry exhaustion.reviewing across runs with no transition. That is a mid-loop stall.A stall means consensus/review activity stops while only polling continues. A board item stuck or mis-transitioned with the pipeline otherwise flowing is ALSO a defect — diagnose it (often impoverished codex context: truncated input, no code access, or a terminal-reject gate that should converge), file a consensus-rnd-informed issue, and drive it.
Platform composition comes from fkst.workspace.toml, never a dogfood-side package list. Non-self hosts declare the platform set in external_sources(id=fkst-packages-platform).packages; the self fkst-packages dogfood declares its narrower run set as explicit workspace [[package]] entries. dogfood.sh derives the launch --platform-packages argument from that manifest and never rewrites it. To decide what to load, inspect each package's role from its fkst.toml kind and its departments' consumes/produces. CO-RUN RULE: an issue-PRODUCER agent — consumes a non-issue signal, produces github-proxy issue/comment requests, e.g. an audit agent — co-runs safely and files work into github-devloop's own intake; an issue-CONSUMER agent that claims/manages the issue lifecycle must run as its own separate supervise or it fights github-devloop. When such a producer agent is enabled, observe its filed output like any codex output — correct cadence (not a flood), gated to the right trigger (e.g. firing only when idle, not while the repo is busy), and SUBSTANTIVE (evidence over narrative); a flood of low-value items or output at the wrong time is a defect to diagnose + file.
Use this path for both branch 3 and branch 4 in the Stall decision tree.
Run the sshx skill on the fix. The sshx skill contract is the sole authority for its stage order, seat count, seat roles, worker-carrier invocation, and completion/verdict routing — this file does not restate them. Read it; do not reconstruct its shape from memory or from prose that merely describes it.
Two rules that dogfooding has repeatedly violated, restated here only as warnings, not as a second specification:
pgrep, an empty git status, and completion-looking strings in stdout are diagnostic surfaces and are never completion or verdict evidence.CLAUDE.md). It is advisory: it never routes completion or verdicts.Land it: from the dedicated worktree (cut from dev, never the pinned operator checkout), push the branch and open a PR to dev. This is the out-of-band exception: the broken pipeline cannot carry its own fix. Watch CI; squash-merge when green.
Post the review record ON the PR (before or right after merge): a comment with each reviewer's verdict, blocking findings, fix-pass history, and suite evidence. The audit trail lives on GitHub, not in local /tmp logs — same marker-as-fact transparency the autonomous pipeline gives its own PRs (user feedback, PR#226).
Restart supervise: stop the old one, update the worktree to the merged dev, relaunch with a fresh runtime scratch root but the SAME stable durable root, so the fixed code loads while the durable queue's in-flight events resume. Do NOT fresh the durable root on a normal restart — that strands mid-state issues (see the runtime/durable root note in the operating loop). Re-derive from GitHub markers also self-heals mid-state issues, but only for states that have a self-heal branch in observe_issue.
The fix prevents FUTURE failures but does not revive ALREADY-stuck work. Re-enter each stuck item into the now-fixed pipeline.
For a stuck PR review, advance the PR head with an empty commit so a fresh head_sha yields a new proposal id that bypasses consensus dedup:
git fetch origin <branch>
NEW=$(git commit-tree FETCH_HEAD^{tree} -p FETCH_HEAD -m "nudge: re-trigger review")
git push origin $NEW:refs/heads/<branch>
Close the resolved issue so intake does not redundantly re-process it (housekeeping — a resolved issue closes freely).
Close any redundant/superseded autonomous PR — PR-close follows the destructive-op guardrail: confirm first.
Trusted operator comments (first line fkst: <cmd>, authored by the bot login) re-enter a stuck item without hand-mutating state. Each has a precondition — using the wrong one is refused, not forced (and you must not force it).
Post the command on the entity whose comment stream the handler reads. PR-phase facts are entity-local: they live in the PR's comments, not the issue's. A command posted on the wrong entity is refused by the handler that does read it, with a precondition message that describes a different command of the same name. rereview is really two commands sharing one name, on two entities:
| Command | Post it on | Read by | Precondition |
|---|---|---|---|
fkst: rereview | the issue | observe_issue | stalled thinking (not active) |
fkst: rereview | the PR | observe_pr | PR entity-local state is blocked, review-meta, or stalled reviewing |
fkst: reready | the issue | observe_issue | issue at ready |
fkst: reimplement | the issue | observe_issue | issue at impl-failed |
fkst: reintake | the issue | intake | refused if the issue has any active devloop state (declined/stateless only) |
An issue that is blocked via child-pr-blocked is a derived parent state: drive the child PR, and the parent cascades. rereview on such an issue is refused — correctly — because observe_issue only knows the thinking variant.
Known re-entry GAPS — the old-instance-strand class. File/drive a SYSTEM issue; do NOT force a command past its precondition and do NOT hand-mutate the marker. A fix prevents FUTURE failures but does not revive instances already frozen before it landed, and some frozen states have NO working operator re-entry at all:
pr-open-frozen with the backing PR gone → no command fits (#271/#606 → #760).thinking/convergence-stalled with version-desync → rereview is applied but its replayed consensus result skip-stales (marker intake/NNNN vs proposal <ts>/loop/N), reintake refused (active state), reready/reimplement wrong-state (#542/#577).reviewing/fixing PR that can never obtain CI → merge gate never satisfiable (substrate #84/#83 → #103).All the SAME class: a non-terminal marker no path advances, producing zero error facts (liveness-blind — the safety net sees nothing). The durable fix is framework-level, not another per-state patch: the liveness sweep must force-terminate ANY over-budget non-terminal state to blocked-with-WHY, mechanically conformance-enforced (carrier #762, wave under saga-mandatory #375). When you hit a fresh instance, drive that class issue rather than minting a new point-fix.
