Summary

Adds the eight-phase /ux-design workflow for discovery, research, prototyping, evaluation, handoff, revision, publishing, and review responses.

The workflow supports early exploration from either a Jira Feature or a published PRD. /ingest accepts a Feature key or an explicit prd.md path. PRD-path ingestion reads only that file and does not fetch Jira content or discover sibling documents, so research and prototypes can begin before the design document or linked [UX] story exists. When those inputs are ready, /ingest enriches the same Feature-keyed context, snapshots earlier artifacts, and guides the researcher through reconciling prior findings and design decisions. Evaluations and handoffs tied to an older context become stale.

A handoff to ui-design requires the enriched PRD, design document, and linked [UX] story, plus a prototype and evaluation reviewed against the current discovery revision. Feature-only and PRD-only work remain exploratory. The workflow version remains 0.1.0 while this first version is developed in this PR.

ai-helpers integration

  • install.sh clones or refreshes main once per installer run and links skills from the uxd-design, uxd-prototype, and uxd-research plugins. It checks checkout origin and working-tree state before refresh and reports missing or unexpected plugin layouts.
  • Prototype creation uses --decisions skip|auto|human, records journeys and scenarios, and distinguishes the build workspace from a publish target.
  • Evaluation uses live browser inspection for heuristic review. Full evaluation uses Jira acceptance criteria and persona walkthroughs with --no-fix; the workflow isolates evaluator output in its private artifact directory.
  • Workflow docs map phases to plugin skills and document runtime paths, prerequisites, and artifact handling.

Supporting changes

  • Extended shared provenance scripts and recipes for UX handoff capture and rendering.
  • Added provenance tests and workflow inventory/documentation updates.
  • Added explicit relative links to command wrappers and phase skills for workflow structure validation.

Validation

  • Scoped Markdownlint on the 10 ux-design Markdown files changed for this update: passed.
  • Workflow pre-review checks: 252 passed, 0 failed, 1 pre-existing warning in design/decomposition-review.md.
  • Version validation against the merge base: passed; no version bump because ux-design is new in this PR.
  • git diff --check: passed.
  • Vale could not run because this repository has no .vale.ini configuration.
  • The live installer refresh was not exercised because it updates the installed $HOME/.uxd-ai-skills checkout.

Supersedes #102.

Summary

  • Added the ux-design package with eight phases: ingest, research, prototype, evaluate, handoff, revise, publish, and respond. Command wrappers dispatch each phase through a controller that requires researcher approval before transitions. Guidelines cover evidence, privacy, scope, and artifact handling.
  • Added exploratory intake from a Jira Feature or a specified published PRD. Later ingestion can enrich the same Feature context with the PRD, design document, and linked [UX] story. The workflow preserves prior artifacts and marks evaluations and handoffs stale when context changes. Handoff to ui-design requires enriched context, a prototype, and an evaluation reviewed against the current discovery revision.
  • Added prototype and evaluation workflows. Prototype creation supports --decisions skip|auto|human, records journeys and scenarios, and separates the build workspace from the publish target. Evaluation includes live-browser heuristic review. Full evaluation uses Jira acceptance criteria and persona walkthroughs, supports --no-fix, and isolates evaluator output in a private artifact directory.
  • Added publishing and review-response workflows. Publishing normalizes documentation-repository paths and validates repository and destination paths. Review responses require a current handoff and researcher approval before edits or replies.
  • Updated install.sh to clone or refresh the UXD repository once per installer run and link skills from the uxd-design, uxd-prototype, and uxd-research plugins.
  • Updated README.md and AGENTS.md with workflow and provenance documentation. Extended shared _shared/ provenance recipes and CLI behavior for ux-design, including workflow-specific origin phases and allowed capture phases. These changes affect shared resources and cross-package conventions.
  • Updated version references for prd, design, report-bug, and the provenance recipes.

Validation

The author reports that scoped Markdownlint, workflow pre-review checks, version validation, and git diff --check passed. Vale could not run because the repository has no .vale.ini. The live installer refresh was not exercised because it updates the installed checkout.

Adds the ux-design workflow: ingest → research → prototype → evaluate →
handoff → revise → publish → respond. Produces a structured handoff artifact
(05-handoff.md) containing component mapping, interaction specs, state
enumeration, data annotations, persona-specific views, and acceptance criteria
for consumption by the planned ui-design workflow.

Key design decisions:
- /research is a conditional phase (skippable when researcher has data)
- External uxd-workshop skills are optional enrichments, not primary paths,
  to ensure artifact structure is always consistent for downstream phases
- install.sh installs uxd-workshop skills via a single generic path (git
  clone + symlinks) for all AI tools; scoped to ux-design installs only

Based on work from PR #102 by jpuzzo@redhat.com.

Co-authored-by: Joe Puzzo <jpuzzo@redhat.com>
Assisted-by: Claude claude-sonnet-4-6[1m] <noreply@anthropic.com>
Address code review of the ux-design workflow:

- Drop the /uxd-workshop: plugin namespace everywhere in favor of bare
  skill names, matching what install.sh symlinks and the only form that
  resolves across Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini.
- Fix the prototype->evaluate refine loop: stage or synthesize
  reviews/summary.md so iteration works at Quick depth.
- Make artifact mirroring explicit, mode-aware, and non-lossy; mirror
  rfe-snapshot.md/metadata.json/prototype-summary.yaml/workspace files;
  clean up skill scratch (.artifacts/{ID}/, pipeline-report.html) to
  honor artifact isolation.
- Locate, read back, and clean up the stray design-handoff output.
- Add an evaluation-input production step + fail-loud gate; require
  screenshots at Standard/Full depth for uxd-evaluate-design-heuristics.
- Add an S1-S4 -> Critical/Major/Minor/Cosmetic crosswalk.
- Wire the provenance contract for 05-handoff.md to match prd/design:
  per-workflow ORIGIN_PHASE (ux-design originates in handoff), capture on
  handoff/revise/respond, render footer on publish/respond. Add tests.
- Add the ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} shim (fail loud) for script-backed skills.

186-190: Verify that the shared config is workspace-local before storing an absolute path.

If .artifacts/config.json moves between workspaces, this absolute path can fail validation and block enrichment. Verify whether the config is shared and whether all consumers expect absolute paths. If it is shared, store the path relative to the source-repository root and resolve it at runtime. This repeats the portability concern raised in an earlier review.

#!/bin/bash
set -eu

printf '%s\n' '--- config ignore/tracking status ---'
git check-ignore -v .artifacts/config.json || true
git ls-files -- .artifacts/config.json

printf '%s\n' '--- docs-repository path consumers ---'
rg -n -C 2 'docs_repo_path|docs_repo_remote' .

Based on learnings, docs_repo_path should be stored relative to the source-repository root for portability.

Inline comments:
In `@_shared/scripts/provenance.py`:
- Line 524: Update argument validation after parsing in the provenance CLI to
validate the selected phase against a per-workflow phase map, rejecting handoff
for prd and design while preserving valid workflow-phase combinations. Use the
existing workflow and phase argument handling around the choices declaration,
and ensure invalid combinations are rejected before writing provenance events.
- Around line 72-77: Update origin_untracked_note to avoid claiming template
verification was absent for ux-design; use workflow-specific wording or neutral
phase-history text for that workflow while preserving existing messages
elsewhere. Add a footer test covering the revise-first ux-design case and
asserting the corrected text.
- Around line 26-40: Update the version metadata in prd/SKILL.md and
design/SKILL.md to 0.8.1, and in ux-design/SKILL.md to 0.1.1, keeping all other
workflow content unchanged.

In `@install.sh`:
- Around line 187-188: Update the skill-linking logic around ln -sfn to inspect
${skills_dir}/${skill_name} first; if it exists and is not a symbolic link,
print an error and terminate before creating the link. Preserve normal
replacement behavior for existing symlinks and the current pinned bare-name link
target.

In `@ux-design/guidelines.md`:
- Around line 55-70: Update the workflow guidelines to require all significant
UX-design outputs be persisted under .artifacts/ux-design/{context}/ and to
prohibit reading or writing any other workflow’s private artifact directory.
Place these rules in the general workflow or artifact-handling guidance so they
apply to every phase, rather than relying only on the controller’s artifact
table.

In `@ux-design/README.md`:
- Around line 36-45: Update the workflow documentation in the README’s phase
table and artifact tree to include the publish outputs created by the publish
workflow: .artifacts/ux-design/{issue-key}/06-pr-description.md and
publish-metadata.json. Ensure the README documents the workflow’s .artifacts/
output path and all implemented publish artifacts, without changing unrelated
phase descriptions.

In `@ux-design/skills/controller.md`:
- Around line 152-157: Update the `/prototype` requirement in the phase table to
make `02-research.md` conditional: require it when `/research` was run, or
otherwise require explicit confirmation that validated research data is
available, while preserving the direct `/ingest` to `/prototype` path when
research is skipped.
- Around line 204-212: Update the Context Management section to prohibit
spawning or executing a subagent for a later phase without the required human
phase-gate approval; limit subagents to work within the current phase unless the
user explicitly authorizes advancement. Preserve the existing context-loading
requirements for the current phase.

In `@ux-design/skills/evaluate.md`:
- Around line 83-87: Update the Standalone HTML instructions to launch the local
http.server as a tracked background process, retain its process identifier, and
stop that specific server after the evaluation skill completes; keep the
existing prototype directory and URL requirements unchanged.

In `@ux-design/skills/handoff.md`:
- Around line 52-67: Update the cleanup step after assembling 05-handoff.md to
move the exact raw output file discovered in Step 1, preserving either the .md
or .json extension, instead of assuming a Markdown filename. Keep the existing
destination namespace and stop/report if the discovered file cannot be found.
- Around line 27-29: Update the artifact prerequisite in the handoff
instructions to read 02-research.md only when available, allowing the
01-discovery.md fallback when /research is skipped. Require the handoff to
explicitly record that formal research was skipped in that workflow.

In `@ux-design/skills/ingest.md`:
- Around line 50-51: Update the external-operation failure guidance in the
ingest skill to follow the controller’s fail-loud policy: stop the workflow,
report the exact Jira or codebase error, offer retry, skip, or escalation
options, and wait for the researcher’s decision before continuing. If any
failures remain non-fatal, explicitly identify and classify them.

In `@ux-design/skills/prototype.md`:
- Around line 143-191: Update the prototype mirror contract and output tree to
include reviews/summary.md, copying it from .artifacts/{ID}/reviews/summary.md
to 03-prototype/reviews/summary.md and preserving it through refinement cleanup
and recreation. Ensure the documentation identifies this file as a required
canonical workflow output without changing the existing mode-specific mirror
rules.

In `@ux-design/skills/publish.md`:
- Around line 78-87: Apply one consistent safe shell-argument policy across the
affected command blocks: validate branch, base branch, release, feature,
repository, title, PR, and handoff-path values with appropriate allowlists,
reject traversal or invalid input, and pass all values as safely quoted
arguments. Update ux-design/skills/publish.md lines 78-87 and 139-147, and
ux-design/skills/respond.md lines 32-38 and 80-105; preserve the existing
workflow while preventing command alteration and path traversal.

In `@ux-design/skills/research.md`:
- Around line 14-16: Update the research prerequisite flow in the research skill
to accept validated researcher-provided equivalent problem framing in addition
to .artifacts/ux-design/{issue-key}/01-discovery.md; only instruct the
researcher to run /ingest and stop when neither the artifact nor an equivalent
framing is available, keeping it consistent with the controller skill.
- Around line 35-45: Update the “AI-Accessible Research” section to define
behavior when research tools are unavailable or searches produce no usable
results: record the limitation in 02-research.md, prohibit fabricated findings,
and explicitly state whether the phase stops and reports the limitation or
continues with no-data results.

In `@ux-design/skills/respond.md`:
- Around line 70-108: Update Step 4 in the respond workflow to branch on whether
the handoff changed: when Step 3 reports “Handoff change needed: No,” post
approved clarification replies only and skip repository copy, provenance,
staging, commit, and push operations; retain the existing repository update flow
only when handoff content changed.

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

When any of SKILL.md, guidelines.md, or controller.md in a workflow is changed, compare it against whichever of the other two files are present and check for verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks or paragraphs. Each has a distinct role: SKILL.md is the thin entry point, guidelines.md holds principles/limits/safety/quality/escalation, controller.md manages phase dispatch. Phase names and brief one-line descriptions appearing in multiple files is EXPECTED (cross-referencing, not duplication) — only flag substantial blocks of identical prose or step-by-step instructions that are copied between files.

Timestamp: 2026-05-25T17:11:32.207Z
Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows documentation, treat backtick-quoted workflow path templates that include placeholders (e.g., `commands/{command}.md`, `skills/{phase}.md`) as runtime-dispatch/template instructions for AI agents, not literal Markdown links. When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, treat `SKILL.md` as a size-constrained document: keep it at or under 30 lines. If a `SKILL.md` already exceeds 30 lines but was not changed by the current PR (a known pre-existing issue), don’t require fixing it as part of the PR. If the PR does modify a too-long `SKILL.md`, refactor it into a thin entry point (e.g., move bulk content to smaller companion docs and leave only a brief overview/links) so the `SKILL.md` itself stays within the 30-line limit.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows workflow skill files (e.g., kcs/bugfix/prd/design skills), do not require sanitization/normalization of free-form user-supplied identifier placeholders (such as {issue-key} or {issue-number}) when they’re used to construct artifact paths like `.artifacts/{workflow}/{identifier}/`. This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Resolve the workflow version-validation failure before merge.

The supplied CI failure reports that a workflow referencing changed shared provenance files did not bump its version. The error names design, while this cohort uses ux-design; verify whether the validator sees a stale alias or the wrong manifest. Bump the affected workflow manifest in the same commit as the behavioral change.

I could only check portions of the flow, but I believe there's some gaps that, as they are currently written, could produce un-implementable UX designs.

Comment thread ux-design/skills/handoff.md Outdated
The /ingest phase framed the problem from scratch and never loaded the
PRD or the technical design document, so /handoff could specify UX the
feature's architecture does not support — the gap celdrake flagged on
PR #108.

Rework /ingest to be reference-following: from a [UX] story, resolve the
Feature -> Epic -> Story hierarchy (the story names only its epic; the
epic file carries the Feature key that names the docs directory), then
load the PRD, design document, sibling stories, and design-system docs
from shared locations (published docs repo and Jira) — never another
workflow's private .artifacts/. Feed that context into uxd-discovery and
capture it in an expanded 01-discovery.md (personas, NFRs, technical
design context).

Add a Feasibility and Phasing check to /handoff: reality-check each
design element against the ingested technical design, reusing the Data
Annotations backend-gap list, and record a Final Vision vs. MVP/Phase 1
split when constraints require it rather than silently dropping scope.
When no design document was ingested, the check runs against the
discovery Current State and is marked unverified.

Version stays 0.1.0: the workflow is unmerged and never released, so a
pre-merge bump would track nothing.

… fixes

Cascade version bump (shared-file rule):
- prd, design: 0.8.0→0.8.1 (provenance.py consumers)

Artifact isolation and shell safety:
- ux-design/guidelines.md: added artifact-persistence rules and shell-safety
  policy (quote interpolated values, never pass unvalidated text as flags)

Documentation completeness:
- ux-design/README.md: added 06-pr-description.md and publish-metadata.json
  to phase table and artifact tree

Failure handling:
- ux-design/skills/ingest.md: classify fatal (core input) vs non-fatal
  (optional input) failures; hard-stop on fatal, note-and-continue on non-fatal
- ux-design/skills/research.md: added "or equivalent" fallback for missing
  01-discovery.md; added failure-mode guidance for unavailable tools/zero results

Conditional operations:
- ux-design/skills/respond.md: git operations now conditional on "Handoff
  change needed: Yes" (skip when comment-only response)
- ux-design/skills/evaluate.md: removed misleading "in the background" from
  server command

Mirror-set completeness:
- ux-design/skills/prototype.md: added reviews/ to mirror set and artifact
  tree (preserves reviews/summary.md across refinement iterations)

Contextual guidance:
- ux-design/skills/controller.md: added "don't bypass the human gate" reminder
  to subagent-spawning section
- ux-design/skills/handoff.md: patternfly check now covers monorepos; cleanup
  mv handles both .md and .json; added "don't invent permissions" caveat
- ux-design/skills/evaluate.md: a11y template notes framework should provide
  accessible building blocks

Provenance fixes:
- _shared/scripts/provenance.py: origin_untracked_note() workflow-aware (ux-design
  no longer falsely claims "template from origin"); per-workflow phase validation
  (rejects invalid combos like prd --phase handoff)
- _shared/scripts/test_provenance.py: enhanced origin_untracked_note test to
  verify ux-design doesn't mention "template"; added phase-validation test

Install safety:
- install.sh: ln -sfn now guards against non-symlink targets (prevents nesting
  into real directories)

All changes preserve AI-agnostic design; subagent usage remains conditional
on runtime support.

Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.5 (200k) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changed subagent-spawning guidance from "applies to Claude Code only" to
capability-based language: "not all AI runtimes support subagent spawning".

This matches the AI-agnostic pattern used in prd/design controllers and
removes the prescriptive runtime constraint.

Other mentions of Claude Code/Cursor/Gemini in README.md, prototype.md, and
evaluate.md remain — they're factual/descriptive documentation of the
$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR variable behavior and fallback paths, not prescriptive
constraints.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

When any of SKILL.md, guidelines.md, or controller.md in a workflow is changed, compare it against whichever of the other two files are present and check for verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks or paragraphs. Each has a distinct role: SKILL.md is the thin entry point, guidelines.md holds principles/limits/safety/quality/escalation, controller.md manages phase dispatch. Phase names and brief one-line descriptions appearing in multiple files is EXPECTED (cross-referencing, not duplication) — only flag substantial blocks of identical prose or step-by-step instructions that are copied between files.

    and consumed in another, names and types must agree)
  • No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks

**/*.{md,sh,py}: 1. No IDE-specific syntax: All workflow content is plain markdown
2. Relative paths only: For symlink compatibility across install scopes
4. No auto-advance in attended mode: Workflows wait for user input between phases unless an explicit unattended mode is documented for that workflow
5. Artifact persistence: All significant outputs saved to .artifacts/{workflow-name}/{context}/
7. Artifact isolation: .artifacts/{workflow-name}/ is each workflow's private state. Other workflows must never read from or write to another workflow's artifact directory. The shared interfaces between workflows are: Jira (canonical source for issue data), published docs repo files (PRDs, designs, testplans), and workspace-level config at .artifacts/config.json

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):

  • Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
    (cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)
  • Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
    duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
    conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
    insert a new main step without renumbering
  • Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
    correct step numbers
  • No step should depend on output from a later step
  • Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
    be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
    long contexts
  • controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
    (not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory
  • Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
    relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
    from skills/)
  • Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
    are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
    unavailable
  • Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
  • Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
    top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try

File: design/skills/respond.md:29-31
Timestamp: 2026-04-12T00:25:51.234Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Repo: flightctl/ai-workflows PR: 47
File: README.md:140-142
Timestamp: 2026-05-25T17:11:32.207Z
Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Timestamp: 2026-04-16T10:39:50.418Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows workflow skill files (e.g., kcs/bugfix/prd/design skills), do not require sanitization/normalization of free-form user-supplied identifier placeholders (such as {issue-key} or {issue-number}) when they’re used to construct artifact paths like `.artifacts/{workflow}/{identifier}/`. This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows documentation, treat backtick-quoted workflow path templates that include placeholders (e.g., `commands/{command}.md`, `skills/{phase}.md`) as runtime-dispatch/template instructions for AI agents, not literal Markdown links. When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

187-192: Do not leave a conflicting skill active.

When ${skills_dir}/${skill_name} is a non-symlink directory, this branch skips the pinned UXD link and leaves the existing skill active. The existing skill can shadow the pinned UXD skill. Stop with an error before linking, or otherwise fail the installation instead of continuing.

210-221: Do not spawn the next phase before approval.

Line 212 still instructs the AI to spawn “the next phase” when context quality degrades. The added note prevents automatic advancement after completion, but it does not prevent the subagent from executing the next phase before the researcher approves it. Spawn only the current phase, or require explicit approval before spawning a later phase.

@coderabbitai All 4 findings from review 5009992382 have been addressed in commit 3018a57:

  1. ✅ provenance.py:82-91 - Removed unnecessary else branch
  2. ✅ SKILL.md:5-10 - Added explicit command triggers line
  3. ✅ ingest.md:104-115 - Store docs_repo_path as relative, resolve to absolute at runtime
  4. ✅ evaluate.md:115-119 (outside diff) - Quoted all substituted arguments in skill invocation example

The evaluate.md fix addresses the shell-safety concern for framework names with apostrophes (e.g., "Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics") and URLs with query parameters.

relative --project path is resolved from the source-repository root, either by
requiring execution from that root or by using an explicitly root-anchored path.
Preserve the expected output directory for Step 6.

In `@ux-design/skills/ingest.md`:
- Around line 104-116: Use one consistent root term throughout the docs
repository workflow: define “workspace root” as the source-repository root, or
replace each “workspace root” reference with “source-repository root” in the
docs_repo_path resolution, validation, and config rewrite instructions.

**/{SKILL.md,guidelines.md,skills/*.md,commands/*.md}

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

**/{SKILL.md,guidelines.md,controller.md}

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

When any of SKILL.md, guidelines.md, or controller.md in a workflow is changed, compare it against whichever of the other two files are present and check for verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks or paragraphs. Each has a distinct role: SKILL.md is the thin entry point, guidelines.md holds principles/limits/safety/quality/escalation, controller.md manages phase dispatch. Phase names and brief one-line descriptions appearing in multiple files is EXPECTED (cross-referencing, not duplication) — only flag substantial blocks of identical prose or step-by-step instructions that are copied between files.

Files:

  • ux-design/SKILL.md
**/*.md

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like ../skills/controller.md or guidelines.md) point to files that exist. Flag references to files that don't exist (dangling references). Also flag skill or command files that exist but are never referenced from SKILL.md, controller.md, or any command file (orphaned files).

**/*.md: 2. Progressive disclosure: SKILL.md is thin (under 30 lines), details live in guidelines.md and skills/
3. Relative paths: All file references must be relative to the file's location (for symlink compatibility)

  1. No IDE-specific syntax: All workflow content is plain markdown
  2. No auto-advance in attended mode: Workflows wait for user input between phases unless an explicit unattended mode is documented for that workflow
  3. Artifact persistence: All significant outputs saved to .artifacts/{workflow-name}/{context}/
  4. Artifact isolation: .artifacts/{workflow-name}/ is each workflow's private state. Other workflows must never read from or write to another workflow's artifact directory.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.

  • Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
    duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
    conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
    insert a new main step without renumbering
  • Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
    correct step numbers
  • No step should depend on output from a later step
  • Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT

  • Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
    are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
    unavailable
  • Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user

@adalton, I verified commit 3018a57.

The changes in _shared/scripts/provenance.py, ux-design/skills/ingest.md, and ux-design/skills/evaluate.md address the reported findings.

ux-design/SKILL.md has a new issue. The Activated by commands: line appears twice. Remove one copy before this finding can be marked as addressed.

Learning: In `flightctl/ai-workflows`, `ux-design/skills/ingest.md` requires `.artifacts/config.json` to store `docs_repo_path` relative to the source repository root. The workflow resolves that stored path to an absolute path only at runtime for repository validation and access.

You are interacting with an AI system.

CI fix:
- _shared/recipes/capture-provenance-event.md: bump version 0.1.1→0.1.2
  (added ux-design to workflow list)
- _shared/recipes/render-provenance-footer.md: bump version 0.1.1→0.1.2
  (added ux-design to workflow list)

SKILL.md fix:
- ux-design/SKILL.md: remove duplicate "Activated by commands" line (was on
  both lines 13 and 14, keep only line 11 after removing "Useful for..." line)
  File now 28 lines (under 30-line target)

Terminology consistency:
- ux-design/skills/ingest.md: use "source-repository root" consistently
  throughout docs repo config section (lines 104-120). Was mixing "workspace
  root" and "source-repository root"

Config persistence fix:
- ux-design/skills/ingest.md: config recovery now persists BOTH corrected
  docs_repo_path AND replacement docs_repo_remote (line 110-112). Previously
  only persisted the path, leaving stale remote values

Path anchoring:
- ux-design/skills/evaluate.md: anchor --project path to source-repository
  root using $(pwd) expansion (line 118). Ensures path resolves correctly if
  skill execution changes directory

@adalton, I verified commit a5465cb.

The following changes address the reported findings:

  • ux-design/SKILL.md now has one Activated by commands: line.
  • ux-design/skills/ingest.md consistently uses source-repository root.
  • Config recovery persists both docs_repo_path and docs_repo_remote.
  • Both provenance recipes use version 0.1.2.

I used the existing docs_repo_path portability guidance during this verification.

One issue remains in ux-design/skills/evaluate.md.

The text requires resolution from the source-repository root. It then says to construct the absolute path from the workspace root with $(pwd). $(pwd) is only the source-repository root when the command starts there. If the skill changes directory, the generated --project path is incorrect.

Define the source-repository root explicitly before the invocation, then construct --project from that value.

…ocation

CodeRabbit correctly identified that $(pwd) only works if the command runs
from the source-repository root. If the skill changes directory before
invoking uxd-research-heuristic-eval, $(pwd) would resolve incorrectly.

Fix: Capture SOURCE_ROOT=$(pwd) before the invocation, then use
${SOURCE_ROOT} in the --project path. This ensures the path is always
constructed from the actual source-repository root regardless of the
current directory when the command executes.

@coderabbitai Fixed in e678df2

Explicitly capture the source-repository root before the skill invocation:

SOURCE_ROOT=$(pwd)

Then construct the --project path using ${SOURCE_ROOT} instead of $(pwd). This ensures the path resolves correctly even if the skill execution changes directory before running the command.

See ux-design/skills/evaluate.md lines 112-125.

16-16: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the ux-design phase contract.

_shared/scripts/test_provenance.py:139-148 proves that ux-design rejects draft. This row currently presents draft as valid for every workflow and adds only handoff for ux-design. An agent that follows this recipe can trigger ValueError during provenance capture.

Document the phase set for each workflow. At minimum, remove draft from the ux-design set and align the table with WORKFLOW_PHASES.

Proposed documentation fix
-| PHASE | Yes | `draft`, `revise`, or `respond` (ux-design also uses `handoff`) |
+| PHASE | Yes | Use a phase valid for the selected workflow. `ux-design` does not use `draft`; use its phase set from `WORKFLOW_PHASES`, including `handoff` where applicable. |

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

@adalton, verified commit e678df2.

ux-design/skills/evaluate.md now captures SOURCE_ROOT=$(pwd) before the skill invocation. The --project argument uses ${SOURCE_ROOT}. This prevents a directory change during skill execution from changing the artifact output path.

Learning: In `flightctl/ai-workflows`, `ux-design/skills/ingest.md` requires `.artifacts/config.json` to store `docs_repo_path` relative to the source repository root. The workflow resolves that stored path to an absolute path only at runtime for repository validation and access.

Resolve the repository root instead of using the current directory.

Line [120] uses pwd, but the preceding input instructions use the prototype directory. In that state, SOURCE_ROOT is not the source-repository root, so --project points below the prototype directory and Step 6 cannot find .artifacts/ux-design/{issue-key}/04-eval-raw.

Explicitly change to the source-repository root before assigning SOURCE_ROOT, or resolve it with git rev-parse --show-toplevel.

The ownership model we discussed holds - UXD skills are hard dependencies on the methodology phases, FlightControl owns the orchestration. LGTM.

CodeRabbit correctly identified two issues with the previous fix:

1. SOURCE_ROOT assignment and invocation were in separate blocks - if run
   in different shells, SOURCE_ROOT would be unset
2. Path should be relative for portability, not absolute

Fix: Use a single bash block with cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" to
explicitly change to the source-repository root, then pass the relative path
.artifacts/ux-design/{issue-key}/04-eval-raw directly.

This ensures the command runs from the correct location and uses a portable
relative path.

CodeRabbit correctly identified that after initial config validation fails,
we re-ask for values but don't revalidate them before saving. This could
persist invalid values and cause the same recovery loop to repeat.

Fix: Explicitly revalidate replacement values using the same checks (path
exists, is a git repository, remote URL matches) before converting to
relative form and persisting to .artifacts/config.json.

CodeRabbit identified two issues:

1. If git rev-parse fails, cd receives an empty path and continues from
   the wrong directory. Fix: Capture REPO_ROOT first and fail early with
   error message if git rev-parse fails.

2. /uxd-research-heuristic-eval looks like an absolute filesystem path.
   Fix: Use bare skill name uxd-research-heuristic-eval without leading
   slash.

Pre-merge check flagged absolute paths in ingest.md lines 121-122. These
are example paths showing the relative path conversion, but they need to
be in a fenced code block rather than inline code.

Reformatted as:
```
Source repository root: /home/user/src/myproject
Docs repository path:   /home/user/src/myproject-docs
Store in config.json:   ../myproject-docs

@coderabbitai I addressed the outside-diff path traversal concern from review 5370647410 in commit 66c7738. /publish now limits release and feature values to safe path components, resolves the docs repo root, destination directory, and handoff target, and stops unless the resolved paths remain inside the docs repository. Filesystem operations and the provenance target use those checked paths, including symlink resolution.

I also applied the LanguageTool em-dash style suggestion to the critical rule.

@coderabbitai I addressed the outside-diff shell-injection concern from review 5370768813 in commit b1a7d8a. /publish validates the owner and repository components and passes the Jira-derived title to gh through a Python argument list with shell=False; the title is read from the saved PR description rather than interpolated into shell source. The commit message no longer uses the dynamic title.

The em-dash suggestion is already reflected in the critical rule. I also tightened the wording flagged as “other than.”

Cross-Workflow Adjudication: Remaining Findings for PR #108 (ux-design)

Source: Counter-review adjudication of cross-workflow analysis, verified with git/shell probes against current PR revision.


F03 (HIGH): ux-design persists relative docs_repo_path

Problem:
The ux-design workflow may persist docs_repo_path as a relative path (e.g., ../planning-docs) in its shared configuration output. Downstream workflows (ui-design, ui-implement) read this path and use it directly. Shell home expansion (~) does not normalize relative paths — a relative path resolved from a different working directory produces the wrong location.

Affected location: ux-design/skills/ — wherever docs_repo_path is written to configuration or shared artifacts.

Required change: Normalize docs_repo_path to an absolute path before persisting it:

DOCS_REPO_PATH="$(cd "{docs_repo_path}" && pwd)"

This ensures downstream workflows receive a stable, CWD-independent path regardless of how the user originally specified it.


F07 (HIGH): Git publish can commit pre-existing staged work

Problem:
Same issue as PR #131: git checkout -b does not reset the index. Non-conflicting staged changes in the docs repo survive the checkout and get included in the commit. (See the detailed description in the PR #131 comment for the probe evidence.)

Affected location: ux-design/skills/publish.md (or equivalent), before the branch checkout step.

Required change: Add an index isolation step before the checkout — either stash uncommitted work or reset the index after checkout:

# Before checkout:
if [ -n "$(git -C "{docs_repo_path}" status --porcelain)" ]; then
  git -C "{docs_repo_path}" stash --include-untracked
fi

Or after checkout:

git -C "{docs_repo_path}" reset HEAD

AI-generated. Review for accuracy.

Addressed both findings in commit bf32c5b.

  • F03: /ingest and /publish now persist a normalized absolute docs_repo_path; relative and ~ paths are resolved against the source repository root. /respond also normalizes legacy relative config values before use.
  • F07: /publish repeats the clean-worktree check immediately before branch creation and scopes the commit to handoff.md with git commit --only. If unrelated changes are present at the check, it stops and leaves the worktree and index untouched.

Cross-Workflow Adjudication: Remaining Findings for PR #108 (ux-design) — Round 3

Source: Counter-review adjudication.


F02 (HIGH — completion): Ingest script path uses CWD-relative resolution

Problem:
Same issue as PRs #131 and #138: ux-design/skills/ingest.md uses ../../_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py which resolves relative to the shell's CWD or dirname "$0". In agent-executed context, $0 is the bash launcher, not the markdown file. The publish phase correctly uses absolute paths (${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/scripts/...).

Affected location: ux-design/skills/ingest.md, all references to ../../_shared/scripts/.

Required change: Replace relative script paths with absolute paths:

# Instead of:

F11 (MEDIUM): Uninstall doesn't cover externally-installed skills

Problem:
The installer (install.sh, lines 244–258) discovers external skill sources from UXD_DIR/plugins/ directories outside the repo. However, the uninstaller (uninstall.sh, lines 28, 299–302) only scans local REPO_DIR/*/SKILL.md. Skills installed from external sources are not removed during uninstall.

Affected location: uninstall.sh (in this PR or the shared installer).

Required change: The uninstaller should track externally-installed skills and remove them. Options:

  1. Preferred: During install, write a manifest of installed skill paths (e.g., .ai-workflows-installed.json). During uninstall, read the manifest and remove all listed paths.
  2. Alternative: Have the uninstaller scan the same UXD_DIR/plugins/ sources that the installer scans, and remove any symlinks or copies that point to those sources.

The key is symmetry: anything the installer can create, the uninstaller should be able to remove.

F11 is fixed in commit 1f8723a. The uninstaller now removes symlinks whose targets are in the UXD plugin skill directories when ux-design is selected, across the supported environments and both user and project scopes. It recognizes the symlink targets directly, so cleanup also works if the UXD checkout is missing.

F02 does not apply to the current branch. ux-design/skills/ingest.md contains no fetch-issue.py path. The ../../_shared/recipes/... references in phase files follow this repository's documented relative-reference convention and point to Markdown procedures, not shell commands resolved from the process CWD. /respond resolves the installed workflow root before invoking the shared Python script by absolute path, so no path change is warranted.

Cross-Workflow Adjudication: F11 Follow-Up — Still Unaddressed

Source: Counter-review adjudication finding F11, verified against the current PR revision.


F11 (MEDIUM): Uninstall doesn't cover externally-installed skills — still open

Problem:
The installer (install.sh) discovers external skill sources from UXD_DIR/plugins/ directories outside the repo. However, the uninstaller (uninstall.sh) only scans local REPO_DIR/*/SKILL.md. Skills installed from external sources are not removed during uninstall.

This finding was identified in the counter-review adjudication and accepted as valid. The Round 3 fix comment (posted earlier in this PR) described the required change, but no corresponding code change has been made.

Required change (restated):
The uninstaller should track and remove externally-installed skills. Options:

  1. Preferred: During install, write a manifest of installed skill paths (e.g., .ai-workflows-installed.json). During uninstall, read the manifest and remove all listed paths.

  2. Alternative: Have the uninstaller scan the same UXD_DIR/plugins/ sources that the installer scans, and remove any symlinks or copies that point to those sources.

The key is symmetry: anything the installer can create, the uninstaller should be able to remove.

Status: This is the only remaining unaddressed finding from the full cross-workflow analysis (all other findings across PRs #131, #137, and #138 have been fixed and verified).

F11 is already implemented in commit 1f8723a, which is the current PR head. uninstall_uxd_skills removes links whose targets are under the configured external UXD plugin skill directories. The uninstaller invokes it for Cursor, Claude, Gemini, and Codex, including project scope.

The “no corresponding code change” status is stale; this finding is addressed, so no additional code change is needed.

Holistic UX/UI Workflow Review — PR #108 (ux-design)

Methodology: Two independent reviewer agents (Claude Opus 5 at max effort, GPT-6 Astra at max effort) performed a holistic review of PRs #108, #131, #138, #137 as a system. Findings below are the aggregated and deduplicated results relevant to this PR. Cross-PR integration findings are noted where applicable.


🔴 Critical

C1 — Unpinned third-party skill clone (install.sh)
install.sh clones github.com/redhat-design/uxd-ai-skills without a pinned commit/tag and force-resets to origin/main on every run, symlinking 9 skills by bare name into the global namespace. A breaking upstream change silently breaks every ux-design installation with no rollback path.

  • File: ux-design/install.sh:22-42
  • Recommendation: Pin to a specific tag or commit SHA; verify integrity after clone.

C2 — Provenance collision with PR #131 (cross-PR)
Both this PR and #131 rewrite _shared/scripts/provenance.py incompatibly — this PR adds a per-workflow ORIGIN_PHASE map and changes the origin_untracked() signature, while #131 replaces that with a global ORIGIN_TRACKED_PHASES set. Both also bump the two provenance recipes (_shared/recipes/add-provenance.md, _shared/recipes/check-provenance.md) to the same version numbers. Whichever PR merges second will silently overwrite the first PR's changes.

  • Files: _shared/scripts/provenance.py, _shared/recipes/add-provenance.md, _shared/recipes/check-provenance.md
  • Recommendation: Coordinate a single provenance.py that handles all workflow phases; rebase the later PR after the first merges.

🟡 Important

I1 — install.sh hard-fails mid-install on optional clone failure
set -e causes the entire installer to abort if the GitHub clone fails (e.g., network issue), even though the core workflow files have already been symlinked. The optional external skills aren't checked separately.

  • File: ux-design/install.sh:19-22

I2 — Prototype artifacts write outside the namespace
ux-design/skills/prototype.md writes prototype files to .artifacts/ux-design/<key>/03-prototype/ (correct), but the UXD marketplace skills it wraps may write to .artifacts/prototype/ at the top level, violating the private-artifacts namespace convention.

  • File: ux-design/skills/prototype.md
  • Also flagged by: Reviewer B (F1 — prototype cleanup)

I3 — Evaluation is recommended but not required before handoff
handoff.md states evaluation is "always recommended after prototyping" but the gate check only verifies the context is enriched — there is no assertion that evaluation actually ran. A stale or missing evaluation can pass through to handoff.

  • File: ux-design/skills/handoff.md (Step 1 gate)
  • Reviewer: Astra (B2)

I4 — /respond may commit unrelated staged files
respond.md stages and commits specific files, but if the working tree has other staged changes from a prior interrupted operation, those get swept into the respond commit without review.

  • File: ux-design/skills/respond.md (Step 4 commit)
  • Reviewer: Astra (A2)

I5 — No re-publish path after revision
When /revise updates 05-handoff.md after /publish has already run, the published docs-repo copy becomes stale. There is no mechanism to update the existing draft PR or re-run publish incrementally.

  • File: ux-design/skills/revise.md, ux-design/skills/publish.md
  • Reviewer: Astra (B4)

I6 — Handoff dependency on upstream UXD skill CWD assumptions
handoff.md wraps uxd-design-handoff but doesn't verify the upstream skill's working-directory expectations. If the marketplace skill assumes a different CWD than .artifacts/ux-design/<key>/, the handoff output may land in the wrong location.

  • File: ux-design/skills/handoff.md (Step 3)
  • Reviewer: Opus (D2)

I7 — Guidelines don't specify Jira as read-only
Unlike ui-design/guidelines.md and ui-implement/guidelines.md, ux-design/guidelines.md has no explicit "Jira is read-only" guardrail. An agent could interpret the absence as permission to write.

  • File: ux-design/guidelines.md
  • Reviewer: Opus (B4)

I8 — Publish writes to a free-form directory path
publish.md constructs the docs-repo target path from user-provided inputs without sanitizing or validating the directory structure, allowing accidental writes outside the expected feature directory.

  • File: ux-design/skills/publish.md (Step 2)
  • Reviewer: Opus (C6)

🔵 Suggestions

S1 — provenance-schema.md not updated for new phases
The provenance schema file in _shared/ isn't updated to include the new ux-design phases, which may cause confusion for future maintainers.

S2 — Controller artifact table is incomplete
controller.md's artifact overview table doesn't list all artifacts that phases actually produce.

S3 — Deprecated --workflows flag in SKILL.md
The SKILL.md installation instructions reference a --workflows flag that has been removed from install.sh on main.


✅ Positive Observations

  • The exploratory → enriched context state machine is well-designed and prevents premature handoff effectively.
  • The context revision + history snapshot mechanism is robust and enables meaningful change tracking.
  • The Data Annotations, Persona-Specific Views, and Feasibility & Phasing sections in the handoff add substantial value beyond the upstream marketplace skill output.
  • Integration with UXD marketplace skills via thin wrappers is a clean separation of concerns.

Thanks for the review. I checked each finding against the current PR head.

Fixed in e08cd66:

  • C1: The root install.sh now pins the UXD dependency to a reviewed commit and verifies the checked-out SHA. The actual dependency is rh-uxd/ai-helpers, not the repository/path named in the comment.
  • I1: UXD skills are required by this workflow. The installer now prepares them before linking the core workflow, so a clone failure does not leave a partial core installation.
  • I4: /respond checks for a clean docs-repo worktree before checkout and commits only the handoff path.
  • I5: /publish now uses saved metadata to update the existing open PR branch after /revise, preserving the PR body and status.
  • S2: The controller artifact table now includes history snapshots, raw evaluator files, and the response log.
  • S3: ux-design/SKILL.md does not use --workflows, and the installer still accepts it as a deprecated alias. I updated the README example to use --packages.

Already covered; no additional change was needed:

  • I2: The prototype wrapper mirrors upstream output into .artifacts/ux-design/{key}/03-prototype/ and removes the upstream staging directory. It does not use .artifacts/prototype/ as its output path.
  • I3: /handoff requires 04-evaluation.md for the active prototype and current context revision.
  • I6: /handoff accounts for the upstream skill writing to the source-repository root, locates that output, reads it, and moves it into the UX artifact namespace.
  • I7: ux-design/guidelines.md explicitly marks Jira issues as read-only.
  • I8: /publish validates the release and feature path components, resolves the destination, and checks that it remains under the docs repository.

Second-Pass Holistic Review — PR #108 (ux-design)

Round 2: Two independent reviewers (Claude Opus 5 max, GPT-6 Astra max) re-reviewed all four PRs in their updated state, scoped to 🔴 Critical and 🟡 Important findings only. Previously-fixed items were excluded. Findings below are the aggregated, deduplicated results relevant to this PR.


🟡 Important

I1 — /publish picks docs-repo destination independently; handoff is silently lost
publish.md asks the user for the docs-repo path and feature directory at runtime, constructing the target independently. If the user provides a different directory than what ui-design/publish (PR #131) uses for its published docs, the downstream ui-design workflow won't find the handoff in the expected location. There's no machine-readable record of where the handoff was published that the next workflow can discover.

  • File: ux-design/skills/publish.md (Step 2 — destination construction)
  • Reviewer: Opus (I6)

I2 — Feasibility & Phasing section dropped at ux-design → ui-design boundary (cross-PR with #131)
ux-design/skills/handoff.md produces a Feasibility & Phasing section in 05-handoff.md. But ui-design/skills/ingest.md (PR #131) does not read or reference this section — the phasing recommendations (MVP scope, deferral candidates, technical risk flags) are silently dropped when ui-design consumes the handoff. An engineer following the ui-design workflow has no visibility into phasing decisions.

I3 — /prototype recursively deletes an unvalidated path
prototype.md Step 5 cleanup runs a recursive delete on the staging directory. The path is constructed from user-provided inputs (workspace key) without sanitization. While the risk is bounded by the .artifacts/ prefix, a workspace key containing ../ could delete outside the expected namespace.

  • File: ux-design/skills/prototype.md (Step 5 cleanup)
  • Reviewer: Opus (I8)

This is the second-pass review. Round 1 findings and fixes are tracked in the earlier comment. See also: #131, #138, #137.

Addressed the actionable findings:

  • I1 — fixed in 5b9f9eb. /publish now derives handoff.md from the resolved PRD and design paths, validates that both are in the same Feature directory inside the docs repo, and records repo-relative paths in its metadata. This places the handoff where /ui-design:ingest searches for it.
  • I2 — no change needed in UXDOPS-2843: Add /ux-design workflow for UX design and implementation handoff #108. PR Add ui-design workflow for [UI] story component decomposition and API surface review #131 targets flightctl/ai-workflows, but its current head branch is hosted in redhat-chai-bot/flightctl_ai-workflows. That head's ui-design/skills/ingest.md loads Feasibility & Phasing for /plan and /sync. I read that proposed consumer implementation only to verify the cross-PR contract; no changes were made to the fork.
  • I3 — fixed in 5b9f9eb. /prototype validates issue and prototype IDs, requires the native prototype directory to be a direct non-symlink child of .artifacts, and repeats the containment check before deletion.
  • @coderabbitai outside-diff finding — fixed in 2f5d84f. /evaluate now passes the prototype and framework as separate argument values and quotes each shell expansion.

Markdown lint, workflow-version validation, and the UX workflow pre-review checks pass. No tests were run.

@adalton, I verified both commits at the current PR head, 2f5d84f.

  • I1: /publish derives handoff.md from the shared PRD and design directory. It checks repository containment and records repo-relative paths in publication metadata.
  • I2: The specified PR #131 consumer implementation extracts Feasibility & Phasing and preserves it for /plan and /sync. No producer change is needed in #108.
  • I3: /prototype validates issue and prototype IDs. Cleanup rejects symlinked paths and checks that the native directory is a direct child of .artifacts immediately before deletion.
  • Outside-diff evaluation finding: /evaluate supplies prototype and framework values as argument data. The invocation quotes each variable expansion and runs from the source-repository root.

These changes address the reported concerns. I did not run tests or repeat the reported lint and validation checks.

Thanks for clarifying the cross-PR contract.

## Summary

Adds the `ui-implement` workflow — a UI-focused implementation workflow
that takes `[UI]` Jira stories through planning, TDD implementation,
validation, and PR creation. This completes the third step in the UX/UI
workflow pipeline: `ux-design` → `ui-design` → `ui-implement`.

## Design Decisions

**Relationship to `implement`:** `ui-implement` is a separate workflow
(not a mode of `implement`). `implement` handles `[DEV]` stories;
`ui-implement` handles `[UI]` stories. Both share the same 7-phase
structure (ingest → plan → revise → code → validate → publish → respond)
but differ in how each phase handles UI-specific concerns.

**TDD for unit tests:** Uses the same contract-based testing approach as
`implement`, adapted for UI:
- Components: tests verify rendered output + user interactions through
the public interface (props → what the user sees and does)
- Hooks: tests verify return values + state transitions
- Integration/e2e test stubs are written _after_ implementation (not
TDD), following the repo's existing patterns

**Discovery-based tooling:** Nothing is hardcoded. Testing framework,
design system, i18n library, state management, routing, permissions
model, and e2e framework are all discovered during `/ingest` from the
project's actual codebase. A hard limit in `guidelines.md` enforces
this.

**Unit test framework introduction:** When `/ingest` discovers no unit
test framework exists, it analyzes the project and recommends one (with
alternatives and rationale). `/plan` ratifies this as "Task 0" — the
user approves before any story tasks are planned.

**Docs repo consumption:** Design documents are consumed from the
published docs repo (via `.artifacts/config.json`), never from upstream
workflow `.artifacts/` directories:
- `ui-design.md` — required (component architecture, hook designs, state
management, routes, data flow, accessibility)
- `handoff.md` — optional (UX interaction specs, state matrix,
accessibility requirements)
- `api-findings.md` — optional (resolved endpoints, API gap inventory)
- `prd.md` and `design.md` — required (same as `implement`)

**Build-first strategy:** Patterns are adapted from `implement`
directly. Common behavior is marked for future extraction to `_shared`
recipes in a follow-up PR.

UI review criteria (design system, i18n, a11y, states) |
| `/validate` | UI Cross-Cutting Verification section checking design
system compliance, i18n completeness, accessibility, state completeness
