boshu 4a7c6a0701 feat(gates): docs.skill-refs --all-docs — widen the 6-file skill-ref gate to live docs + SKILL-ROUTER sync (age-gate-the-ungated-egwt.5)
Add an --all-docs mode to check-doc-skill-refs.sh that scans the union of the
pinned doctrine files PLUS the full LIVE docs/** set (scripts/lib/docs-scope.sh),
ratcheted by a new filename-pinned shrink baseline
(scripts/.docs-skill-refs-baseline). Two-way ratchet: a non-baselined live doc
with a dead `/skill` ref FAILS; a baselined file that no longer offends FAILS
demanding a prune. Detection stays slash-syntax + headings only (never bare
skill names). Default (no-flag) behavior is byte-identical.

docs/SKILL-ROUTER.md (the curated router) is covered by --all-docs (a live
docs/** file, never baselined) so a dead ref there FAILS strict, without
perturbing the byte-identical default doc count.

seed.go docs.skill-refs row: Match widened to docs/** + the baseline + the lib;
Args set to [--all-docs --strict]. Burn-down (long-tail only): repointed retired
`/retro`->/post-mortem, `/vibe`->/validate, `/ratchet`->/flywheel,
`/research-multi`->/research, `/implement-wave`->/crank, and reworded the
retired `/dream` across 13 docs/levels + docs/workflows + docs/philosophy
pages, then pruned them from the baseline (91 -> 78 offenders). Owner-locked
pages (comparisons/getting-started/positioning) stay baselined.

Bats twin tests/scripts/check-doc-skill-refs-all-docs.bats covers all the modes.

Continuous Improvement Workflow

Purpose: Systematically improve system quality over time

When to use:

  • Weekly/monthly reviews (extract learnings)
  • After major milestones (retrospective)
  • Pattern refinement (improve reusable patterns)
  • Technical debt reduction (systematic cleanup)

Token budget: 30-50k tokens per cycle


Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Review (10-15% context)
   ↓
Phase 2: Identify (5-10% context)
   ↓
Phase 3: Prioritize (5-10% context)
   ↓
Phase 4: Improve (10-15% context)

Phase 1: Review

Goal: Assess recent work

Commands:

/retro --retrospective --since "30 days ago"

Activities:

  • Review git commits
  • Analyze patterns used
  • Identify repeated problems
  • Note what worked well

Output: Review summary


Phase 2: Identify

Goal: Find improvement opportunities

Activities:

  • Code quality issues
  • Documentation gaps
  • Process inefficiencies
  • Pattern opportunities

Output: Improvement candidates list


Phase 3: Prioritize

Goal: Rank by impact and effort

Matrix:

High Impact, Low Effort → DO FIRST
High Impact, High Effort → PLAN
Low Impact, Low Effort → MAYBE
Low Impact, High Effort → SKIP

Output: Prioritized improvement backlog


Phase 4: Improve

Goal: Execute improvements

Commands:

# For each improvement:
/plan [improvement]
/implement [improvement]-plan
/vibe recent
/retro --quick [improvement]

Output: Improved system + new patterns


Example: Monthly Improvement Cycle

# Phase 1: Review
/retro --retrospective --since "2025-10-01"
# Findings:
# - 15 commits reviewed
# - 3 patterns emerged (used 5+ times each)
# - 2 repeated issues (test failures, linting)

# Phase 2: Identify
# Opportunities:
# 1. Extract 3 patterns to pattern catalog
# 2. Fix recurring test flakiness
# 3. Add pre-commit hook for linting

# Phase 3: Prioritize
# Priority 1: Pre-commit hook (high impact, low effort)
# Priority 2: Fix test flakiness (high impact, medium effort)
# Priority 3: Extract patterns (medium impact, low effort)

# Phase 4: Improve
/plan pre-commit-hook
/implement pre-commit-hook-plan
/vibe recent
/retro --quick pre-commit-improvement
# Result: 90% reduction in linting issues
