Boden Fuller 7e447c02b5 docs(destale): wave 2 + ratchet — all live docs off retired tech (age-docs-staleness-remediation-cko)
Completes the staleness epic. 42 P2/P3 files converged to current truth
(bd→br, gascity/gt-sling/mayor→NTM+Agent Mail, daemon→substrate, hooks→hookless,
CI-authoritative→push-to-main local Go gate); GLOSSARY's 18 dead skills/* links
repaired to ../skills/<name>/SKILL.md (19 links, 0 broken); contracts/runbooks
that freeze retired-system nouns bannered RETIRED/HISTORICAL rather than rewritten.

Adds the Arc-7 ratchet — scripts/check-docs-no-retired-tech.sh — which scans all
live docs (260) for retired-subsystem commands/phrases and fails on regression.
A doc opts out by carrying a RETIRED/HISTORICAL/SUPERSEDED banner (or being an
ADR / migration / upgrade / index doc), and lines that describe a removal are not
flagged. Running it caught 12 stale refs the deep-read sweep missed — a
"CI is the authoritative gate" cluster (agentops-brief, primitive-chains,
INCIDENT-RUNBOOK, knowledge-flywheel, philosophy, software-factory), stale
hook-smoke in release-e2e-checklist, and GasCity descriptors in
contracts/index + SCHEMAS + strategic-direction — now fixed. Gate: PASS.

Coding Standards

Skills Integration

These standards are also available as a library skill in domain-kit:

plugins/domain-kit/skills/standards/references/
├── python.md
├── go.md
├── typescript.md
├── shell.md
├── yaml.md
├── json.md
├── rust.md
├── markdown.md
└── openai.md (+ related OpenAI references)

Skills like /bug-hunt and /complexity depend on the standards library for consistent language-specific guidance.


Standards Index

Language/Format Document Gate Pre-commit AI-Friendly
Python python-style-guide.md CC ≤ 10 ruff ★★★★★
Shell/Bash shell-script-standards.md shellcheck shellcheck ★★★★★
Go golang-style-guide.md golangci-lint, CC ≤ 10 - ★★★★★
Rust cargo clippy, CC ≤ 10 - ★★★★★
TypeScript typescript-standards.md tsc --strict eslint ★★★★★
YAML/Helm yaml-helm-standards.md yamllint yamllint ★★★★★
Markdown markdown-style-guide.md markdownlint - ★★★★★
JSON/JSONL json-jsonl-standards.md jq/prettier - ★★★★★
Documentation Tags tag-vocabulary.md - - ★★★★★

What Makes These Standards AI-Agent-Friendly

Every standard in this repository is optimized for AI agent execution:

Feature Implementation
Tables over prose Scannable, parallel parsing
Decision trees Executable if/then logic
Common Errors tables Symptom → Cause → Fix
Anti-Patterns (named) Recognizable error states
AI Agent Guidelines ALWAYS/NEVER rules
Explicit thresholds Numbers, not "be careful"
Copy-paste examples Ready to use, not fragments

Complexity Requirements

All functions MUST meet complexity thresholds:

Language Tool Threshold Style Guide
Python radon/xenon CC ≤ 10 Yes
Go gocyclo CC ≤ 10 Yes
Rust cargo clippy Clippy warnings = 0
Shell shellcheck Pass all Yes
TypeScript tsc --strict No errors Yes
YAML/Helm yamllint Pass all Yes

Pre-commit Enforcement

Standards are enforced via pre-commit hooks where available.

Quick Start

# Install hooks (one-time)
pre-commit install

# Run manually
pre-commit run --all-files

# Or skip hooks (not recommended)
git commit --no-verify

Manual Validation Commands

Language Command
Python ruff check scripts/ && xenon scripts/ --max-absolute B
Go golangci-lint run ./... && gocyclo -over 10 ./...
Rust cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings && cargo test
Shell shellcheck scripts/*.sh
TypeScript tsc --noEmit && eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx
YAML yamllint .
Markdown npx markdownlint '**/*.md'
JSON jq empty config.json (validates syntax)

Standard Document Structure

Each standard follows a consistent format:

# Standard Name

## Quick Reference
[Table of key rules and values]

## [Topic Sections]
[Detailed guidance with examples]

## Common Errors
[Symptom | Cause | Fix table]

## Anti-Patterns
[Named patterns to avoid]

## AI Agent Guidelines
[ALWAYS/NEVER rules table]

## Summary
[Key takeaways list]

Common Configuration Files (Examples)

These are common config files you may choose to add to a project that adopts these standards. AgentOps does not require them, and this repository does not ship every file listed below.

File Purpose
.pre-commit-config.yaml Hook definitions
.yamllint.yml YAML linting rules
.markdownlint.yml Markdown linting rules
.shellcheckrc Shell linting rules
.prettierrc JSON/Markdown formatting
pyproject.toml Python tool settings (ruff, pytest)
.golangci.yml Go linting configuration
rustfmt.toml Rust formatting rules
clippy.toml Rust linting configuration
tsconfig.json TypeScript compiler settings
eslint.config.js TypeScript/JS linting

Contributing

To update a standard:

  1. Edit the standard directly in docs/standards/
  2. Run validation to ensure format compliance

Adding a New Standard

  1. Follow the document structure template above
  2. Include: Quick Reference, Common Errors, Anti-Patterns, AI Guidelines
  3. Add to this README's index table
  4. Update related links in other standards
