Single source of truth now reaches past the document into the environment.
package.json scripts, config files, directory layout and --help output are
authoritative already, so a doc restating them is a cache of a lookup that
earns its load only when the lookup is expensive.

Move `to-questionnaire` out of in-progress into `productivity/` and wire
it up as a promoted skill: plugin.json entry, top-level + Productivity
READMEs under User-invoked, a docs page at
docs/productivity/to-questionnaire.md, and a Standalone route in
ask-matt framing it as the inverse of /grill-me.

The reference now covers any document an agent consumes — skills,
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, docs reached by a pointer. GLOSSARY.md merged into
SKILL.md as a dedup (Avoid-lists and the standalone Predictability
definition pruned); skill-only mechanics disclosed to SKILL-MECHANICS.md;
the skill is now model-invoked. Clean rename, no alias.

Reshape the logic branch from a terminal app into a single
self-contained HTML file a non-developer can drive: a labelled
state panel, free-play buttons, and tabbed guided walkthroughs
(scenarios) with the ordered buttons to press underneath each.
The portable pure-logic module still lifts into the real code;
the HTML shell is the throwaway primary source.

Rework grilling from one-question-at-a-time to asking the whole
frontier each round, with background sub-agents for fact-finding so
research never blocks the round. Fold the batch-grill-me experiment
into grilling and delete it. Re-sync the docs page, including how to
opt back into one-at-a-time via global CLAUDE.md.

Fire fact-finding to a sub-agent and treat a running exploration as an
unsettled prerequisite, so only the downstream questions wait — the rest
of the frontier is asked now, instead of the whole next round blocking
behind one lookup. Phrase throughout in terms of the user.

A user-invoked interview that walks the design tree in rounds: each round

Drop the sentence explaining why interrogating the subject fails — the
model already obeys it, so it was paying load to say nothing.
Replace the bulleted document structure with an XML-tagged

A user-invoked skill that turns a decision you can't fully answer into a
Markdown discovery questionnaire to hand to one person async, or fill out
over a meeting.
Its defining move: it grills you about the *send* (who it's going to, what
you need back), never the subject — sidestepping the "I don't know, I don't
know" spiral you'd hit if it interrogated you on the very knowledge you're
offloading. The written questions then target the gap between what the
recipient knows and what you need.
Landed in in-progress/ to shake out over a few real sends before promoting.

Adds an `agents/openai.yaml` beside each `SKILL.md` so the skills work in
Codex as well as Claude Code, without generated copies:
- `interface.display_name` + `interface.short_description` for the Codex
skill picker, hand-written for all 39 skills.
- `policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false` on the 22 user-invoked skills —
the Codex analog of `disable-model-invocation: true`, so Codex excludes
them from implicit invocation while explicit `$skill` still works.
- Document the dual-harness invocation model in `.agents/invocation.md`,
`CLAUDE.md`, and the promoted-bucket READMEs.
- Add `AGENTS.md` as a symlink to `CLAUDE.md` so Codex reads the same
instructions; note Codex as a `link-skills.sh` install target.
Slimmed-down rework of the approach prototyped in #522: keeps the essential
cross-harness metadata, drops the Ruby validator, the runtime-detector test,
per-skill `default_prompt`s, and the unrelated promotion changes.

Close a standing CLAUDE.md-invariant gap where two promoted skills were
not fully wired into the plugin manifest and READMEs.
- resolving-merge-conflicts (model-invoked): add to .claude-plugin/plugin.json,
top-level README.md, and skills/engineering/README.md.
- implement (user-invoked): add the missing line to skills/engineering/README.md
(already present in plugin.json and the top README).

Align the remaining callers and docs pages with grilling's body, which now
says "decision tree".

Drop the software-plan scoping from grilling's description and body so the
interview reads as a stress-test of any plan, decision, or idea:
"this plan" → "this", "enact the plan" → "act on it", "codebase" →
"environment". The technique is unchanged, and grill-me is left as-is.

Research stays a real ticket type — it's a shared blocker downstream
decisions hang on, which the frontier's blocking edges exist to render.
What changes is resolution: because research is AFK, charting doesn't
stop and read. After creating the tickets, the charting session fires a
/research subagent for each research ticket to burn it down in parallel,
capturing findings on a throwaway research/<name> branch with a context
pointer.
Charting's "fire the research subagents" step owns how research is
handled; the Ticket Types bullet just names the resolver, and the
one-ticket-per-session rule carries the research exception.

Before scanning, decide where to look. If the user named a direction, take
it; otherwise read the last ~20 commit messages to bias exploration toward
actively-developed paths. A deepening opportunity in code nobody touches is a
refactor you'll never cash in — leverage only pays off where you keep editing.

People kept reading a wayfinder ticket as an ordinary implementation
ticket — a slice of a build to execute — when wayfinder uses them as
decision tickets: questions whose resolution is a decision.
Introduce "decision ticket" as a light leading word: the skill
description and its opening line name it (and say what makes it one),
and the ask-matt / engineering README blurbs and the docs page match,
while "ticket" stays the everyday word once the term is established.
Record "Decision ticket" in CONTEXT.md so the "avoid: ticket" domain
rule no longer contradicts wayfinder's deliberate use of the word.

Wayfinder is the heaviest, most cognitively demanding flow, and the
wiki shows people misusing it two ways: over-reaching for it on
well-scoped work (it's slower and denser than a single grill), and
losing the way at the handoff after the map (looping straight into
/implement and skipping /to-spec). Sharpen the router's wayfinder
on-ramp to steer both.

Add a Claude Code plugin marketplace so the promoted skills can be
installed as a managed, read-only bundle (subscribe rather than fork),
alongside the existing skills.sh installer.
- Enrich .claude-plugin/plugin.json with marketplace metadata (version,
description, author, license, keywords); keep the curated promoted-only
skills array.
- Add .claude-plugin/marketplace.json making the repo its own
single-plugin marketplace (mattpocock-skills@mattpocock).
- README: document /plugin install alongside skills.sh, and the
subscribe-vs-fork tradeoff.
- CLAUDE.md: extend the promoted-set invariant to cover marketplace.json
and plugin.json/package.json version sync.
- ADR 0002: record why Claude ships now and a native Codex plugin is
deferred (Codex skills field is single-path + drops symlinks, which
can't express a curated subset of a bucketed repo without a restructure).
Verified: 'claude plugin validate . --strict' passes, and marketplace
add -> install resolves all 21 promoted skills at v1.2.0.

Rule 4 is about skipping polish, not the prototype's fate; the trailing
"then let it go" was a leftover from the old delete-it framing and now
misreads as discard, contradicting capture-as-primary-source. Cut it,
and rename LOGIC step 7 off "let go".

The depth-based rules already treat any subfolder as private, so the
config needs no change. Document lib/ (implementation) and tests/ as the
conventional two-folder shape, with entry points at the root — a fixed
convention that never needs the config extended for a new folder.

- Rename skill to setup-ts-deep-modules (it's TypeScript-specific).
- A package's public surface is now its ENTRY POINTS — every file at the
package root — not one designated index.ts. Implementation lives in
subfolders and is private. This is depth-based and extension-agnostic.
- Packages can expose several small entry points instead of funnelling
everything through one giant barrel index; barrels are discouraged, and
the generated repo docs (step 7) say so explicitly.
- Rules renamed accordingly: entrypoint-boundary-from-app,
entrypoint-boundary-across-packages, tests-through-entrypoints.
- Example package now hides impl in a lib/ subfolder.
Re-validated against dependency-cruiser 16: multiple entry points and
cross-package entry imports pass; deep imports into subfolders fail with
the expected rule from app code, other packages, and tests.

Step 7 now writes <packages-root>/README.md next to the packages it
governs, and adds a context pointer from CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md so an agent
discovers the boundary rule.

The install location isn't known at runtime, so a relative path breaks.

The "keep it as a primary source" section restated rule 6 and was
padded with no-ops. Fold the one extra bit (capture the answer) into
rule 6 and delete the section: capture the prototype as a primary
source on a throwaway branch, pointer on the issue.

A user-invoked setup skill that wires dependency-cruiser into a
TypeScript repo so each package under the packages root is a deep
module: everything hidden behind its `index.ts` interface.
Ships a `.dependency-cruiser.cjs` template with four error-level rules —
index boundary from app code, index boundary across packages (with
intra-package freedom via $1 back-references), tests-through-the-index,
and no-circular — plus a commented layering stub. The skill installs the
tool, folds a `lint:boundaries` script into the repo's umbrella check,
scaffolds an example package, and self-verifies that a deep import fails.
Rules validated against a live dependency-cruiser 16 run.

The final line of to-tickets/SKILL.md carried a stray `</content>`
closing tag with no matching opening tag — a packaging/serialization
artifact from the planning-skills refactor (386d4ff), not valid skill
content. The same stray tag had leaked into the generated landing
docs for to-tickets and to-spec. Strip it from all three.

Reframe the artifact handling as capturing the prototype somewhere out
of main — a throwaway branch — with a context pointer to it left on the

Rework /setup-matt-pocock-skills to ask fewer, friendlier questions and
align the local-markdown issue tracker with the current spec.
- Triage labels: asked only when the `triage` skill is installed, and then
as a single recommended-yes question ("keep the default triage labels?")
instead of an override interrogation. When triage isn't installed, the
section and docs/agents/triage-labels.md are skipped.
- External PRs as a request surface: no longer a setup question. The
GitHub/GitLab templates still carry the flag, defaulted off; flip it in
docs/agents/issue-tracker.md later.
- Domain docs: default to single-context without asking; multi-context is
only offered when the repo shows monorepo signals.
- Local-markdown tickets: one file per ticket under
.scratch/<feature>/issues/<NN>-<slug>.md, never a single combined
tickets.md. /to-tickets, ask-matt, and the local template now agree, and
the spec file is spec.md (not PRD.md) to match /to-spec.
- Re-sync docs pages for setup-matt-pocock-skills and to-tickets; changeset.

Drop the secondary-source label — the actionable distinction is just
that the prototype is a primary source to retain on a throwaway branch.
Collapse the re-descriptions in LOGIC/UI so they point to SKILL for the
