Summary

  • Adds incident-tracker plugin for structured behavioral incident documentation with severity classification, tag-based organization, and footnote references linking rules to source incidents
  • Adds sdlc-utils plugin (renamed from product-development-and-sdlc) with phase-based skills: plan, spec-writing, implement, test, review, deploy, maintain, iterate-until-good
  • Enhances scm-utils with new review skills: code-review, review-code, review-diff, review-commits, review-commit-messages, review-pr-contents, validate-review, fix-review-findings, post-review, pr-review-workflow, pr-workflow, request-a-review, respond-to-review

Changes from PR #301

All review feedback from PR #301 has been addressed:

  • Removed duplicate top-level plugin.json from incident-tracker
  • Added YAML front matter to incident command file
  • Removed non-existent config section from incident-tracker README
  • Fixed hardcoded user-specific path in pr-workflow
  • Fixed stale skill references (making-great-prs -> request-a-review, pr-feedback -> respond-to-review)
  • Reworded self-referential PR contribution encouragement in iterate-until-good
  • Made cross-plugin reference to common-sense conditional in spec-writing
  • Replaced "STRIKE ONE" language with generic wording in pr-workflow

Changes from PR #383 review (Henry)

  • Reverted marketplace.json to let CD workflow regenerate on merge (convention alignment)
  • Differentiated plan vs spec-writing trigger phrases to reduce agent ambiguity: plan owns task breakdown/implementation planning, spec-writing owns formal specification lifecycle management
  • Added explicit cross-references in both skill descriptions for disambiguation
  • Updated sdlc-utils README to document all skills including spec-writing and iterate-until-good
  • Confirmed no DRY violation: only one spec-template.md exists, plan already references it via relative path

Test plan

  • Verify incident-tracker command registers correctly with Claude Code
  • Verify sdlc-utils skills trigger on expected phrases (plan vs spec-writing differentiated)
  • Verify scm-utils review skills reference correct skill names
  • Verify no broken cross-plugin references remain
  • Run mise run lint to confirm formatting

…sed skills

Restructure the plugin from a single product-focused spec-writing skill into
six software engineering SDLC phase skills: plan, implement, review, test,
deploy, and maintain. Remove product-development specifics (PRDs, user stories,
market research) and focus on software engineering lifecycle.

Also adds deprecation notices to overlapping scm-utils skills (iterate-until-good,
code-review, making-great-prs, fix-pr) pointing to sdlc-utils:review.
Move iterate-until-good from scm-utils to sdlc-utils (iteration loop
belongs in SDLC, not SCM). Create 9 granular review skills in scm-utils
(review-code, review-diff, review-commits, review-commit-messages,
review-pr-contents, fix-review-findings, validate-review, respond-to-review,
post-review) plus a pr-review-workflow meta skill that orchestrates them.

Update scm-utils deprecation notices and add Henry QA role note to
code-review skill.
…ecation notice

- Rename skill from 'making-great-prs' to 'request-a-review' to align with granular skill pattern
- Reflects role as counterpart to review-code, respond-to-review, and other review-receiving skills
- Remove DEPRECATED notice — skill is NOT deprecated, it belongs in scm-utils plugin
- Update description to emphasize PR creation, formatting, lifecycle, and review request workflow
…ganization

- Lifecycle status now tracked via 'status' field in frontmatter (draft, reviewed, in-progress, live, deprecated, archive) instead of moving files between directories
- Add guidance for organizing specs into feature-specific folders for larger projects
- Update file organization section to reflect single docs/specs/ directory with optional grouping
- Update spec template to include frontmatter with status field
- Cleaner spec management without directory churn
Adds name, description, and argument-hint front matter to match
repo convention required by all other command files.
- Remove hardcoded user-specific path in pr-workflow/SKILL.md (blocking)
- Replace "STRIKE ONE" jargon with generic language
- Replace "Henry's QA role" internal reference with technical description
- Gate self-contribution instruction behind user decision
- Make common-sense plugin reference conditional
- Add cross-references between plan and spec-writing skills
- Fix stale skill references in pr-workflow: making-great-prs -> request-a-review,
  pr-feedback -> respond-to-review
- Reword self-referential PR contribution encouragement in iterate-until-good
  to suggest user-driven improvements instead of autonomous agent PRs

❌ Some changes need to be made — orphaned spec template and wrong deprecation target

❌ Orphaned plan/references/spec-template.md duplicates the canonical template in spec-writing/references/ with no reader (thread)
fix-pr.md deprecation points at sdlc-utils:review, which doesn't own PR-description fixing — correct target is scm-utils:request-a-review (thread)
⚠️ PR description overstates scope — the scm-utils review skills and the sdlc-utils rename already landed on main via #377; actual diff is just incident-tracker, an orphan template, a deprecation tweak, and version bumps
incident-tracker hard-codes AGENTS.md as the rules target with no fallback/override
incident-tracker plugin structure (plugin.json, README, command frontmatter) is correct
marketplace.json revert + CD-regenerated entries align with repo convention
plan / spec-writing trigger phrases differentiated with cross-references

🖱️ Click to expand for full details

Scope check

The actual diff against origin/main is 8 files / ~450 additions:

  • plugins/incident-tracker/** (new plugin)
  • plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/plan/references/spec-template.md (new, orphaned)
  • plugins/scm-utils/commands/fix-pr.md (deprecation notice tweak)
  • plugins/{scm-utils,sdlc-utils}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json (0.2.0 → 0.2.1)
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (CD-regenerated)

The PR body describes scm-utils review-skill additions and the sdlc-utils rename as if they're part of this PR. They aren't — those landed via PR #377 and PR #301 earlier in the branch's history; only the trailing delta is being merged here. Worth updating the description so reviewers (and future git archaeologists) aren't chasing content that's already on main.

Orphaned spec template (blocking)

The new plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/plan/references/spec-template.md (201 lines) is not referenced anywhere. Both plan/SKILL.md (lines 59, 168) and spec-writing/SKILL.md (lines 256, 465) point at plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/spec-writing/references/spec-template.md. This file is dead weight and a DRY trap — future edits to "the spec template" will land on whichever copy the author happens to open.

The previous reply on the earlier thread claimed only one template existed on disk; that's not the case on the current HEAD. Details and file diff in the inline comment.

fix-pr.md deprecation target (blocking)

The deprecation notice redirects to sdlc-utils:review, but the SDLC-phase review skill covers code review, not PR description fixing. Based on the skill set introduced in #377, the right target for "fix my PR description" is scm-utils:request-a-review (or scm-utils:pr-workflow for the broader lifecycle). Suggested replacement in the inline comment.

incident-tracker (non-blocking)

Plugin structure is correct: frontmatter on plugin.json, YAML on the command, README, no hardcoded user paths. Two things that won't block a 1.0.0 release but are worth a follow-up:

  • The workflow writes into AGENTS.md unconditionally. Projects that use CLAUDE.md or another canonical rules file will get an orphaned AGENTS.md. This is a good candidate for the auto-config pattern (.claude/rules/auto-config-pattern.md) — let the plugin discover the repo's rules file or accept a setting.
  • The README says "No configuration required" and lists fixed paths; if/when config lands, both docs will need to move off that claim.

Why the scores

  • Quality 80% — two actionable defects (orphaned file, incorrect deprecation target). Everything else lines up with repo conventions.
  • Simplicity 78% — the orphan template and the outdated PR body both make the change harder to understand than it needs to be. Deleting the orphan and trimming the PR body to match the actual diff would push this back up.
  • Confidence 90% — verified on the current HEAD (b41841b): file listings, grep for references, commit history, and the CD auto-bump chain all cross-checked.
  • Security N/A — docs/config-only change, no attack surface.

Thread state

  • Thread on .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — resolved; CD-regenerated diff is expected.
  • Thread on plan/SKILL.md (plan vs spec-writing overlap) — resolved; cross-references + differentiated triggers are adequate.
  • Thread on spec-writing/.../spec-template.md — left open with a reply; see the new inline comment on plan/references/spec-template.md for the concrete action.

Recommended follow-ups (non-blocking):

  • Add auto-config / settings support to incident-tracker so the derived-rules target file can be overridden per project (default AGENTS.md, fall back to CLAUDE.md or a configured path).
  • Once fix-pr.md deprecation target is fixed, consider a deletion PR after one release cycle rather than shipping a perpetual deprecated command.
  • Trim the PR description to reflect the actual diff so the merge commit message is accurate.

Orphaned spec template — DRY violation

This new 201-line file is not referenced by any skill. Both plan/SKILL.md (lines 59 and 168) and spec-writing/SKILL.md point at plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/spec-writing/references/spec-template.md (the 384-line canonical template). Nothing reads this file.

Verified:

$ grep -rn "plan/references/spec-template\|references/spec-template" plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/
plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/plan/SKILL.md:59:`../spec-writing/references/spec-template.md`. Fill in only what is known with confidence.
plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/plan/SKILL.md:168:- **`../spec-writing/references/spec-template.md`** - Complete spec template
plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/spec-writing/SKILL.md:256:See `references/spec-template.md` for a complete template with guidance on
plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/spec-writing/SKILL.md:465:- **`references/spec-template.md`** — Complete spec template with all sections

This file appears to be a leftover from the product-development-and-sdlc → sdlc-utils rename (commit e56ef44) that didn't get cleaned up when the 384-line template landed via PR #377. Since plan/SKILL.md already points to ../spec-writing/references/spec-template.md, the simplest fix is to delete the orphan. If the intent is to have a dedicated plan template, the plan/SKILL.md cross-references need to be updated to point at the local file (and the resulting two-template situation would then still need deliberate justification — but right now there is no reader).

Follow-up on the earlier thread: #discussion_r3042413475.

Suggested action: delete plugins/sdlc-utils/skills/plan/references/spec-template.md (and the empty references/ dir).

Deprecation points to a skill that doesn't exist

Both the frontmatter description and the body block say to use sdlc-utils:review instead — but sdlc-utils:review (the SDLC-phase "review" skill) doesn't own PR-description fixing. Based on the PR body and the new granular skills, the right replacement is scm-utils:request-a-review (PR creation/formatting/lifecycle) or possibly scm-utils:pr-workflow.

As written, a user following the deprecation notice would land on a skill that doesn't fit their goal.

### 4. UPDATE RULES FILE

Add the derived rule to `AGENTS.md` under `## Learned Behaviors`:

Hard-coded AGENTS.md target without a fallback

The workflow writes the derived rule directly into AGENTS.md, and the README calls that out as the non-configurable default. Two concerns worth thinking about before the plugin hits real users:

  1. No AGENTS.md yet. If the workspace doesn't already have one, this step will create it implicitly, which isn't documented. Worth saying explicitly ("creates AGENTS.md if missing").
  2. Target file is fixed. Some repos use CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/, or a project-specific rules file as the canonical "learned behaviors" home. Since there's no config, the plugin will always append to AGENTS.md even in projects where that's the wrong file.

Not a blocker for a 1.0.0 plugin, but a good candidate for common-sense/auto-config style settings in a follow-up so the target file can be overridden per project (the auto-config pattern in .claude/rules/auto-config-pattern.md is a good template).
