Re-vendor the Carried Skills Tree and the Stale Verbatim Rule Sections - #954
Conversation
The hub released 2.0.577, which changed content this repository carries at verbatim fidelity, so the copies here are wrong rather than merely old. Carried with the hub's own tooling and verified mechanically: - `.github/skills/`, via `scripts/carry.py apply PlexCleaner`. Two files were absent (`backlog-burndown/SKILL.md` and `workflow-ci-contract/references/architecture.md`) and 19 trailed the canonical. The post-apply tree digest equals the hub's. - `AGENTS.md`, the `Context and Delegation Discipline` and `Where the Rules Live` sections. - `GOVERNANCE.md`, the `Durable Knowledge and Self-Improvement`, `Release Model`, `Verification Discipline`, `PR Review Etiquette`, `Communicating with the User` and `Workflow YAML Conventions` sections. Only sections `spec/files.json` declares `verbatim` were replaced, and each one is now byte-equal to the hub canonical. The preamble, the section set and its order, and every `intent`-fidelity section are unchanged. This repository carries an undeclared `Running the Linters Locally (Known-Working Invocations)` section and one template reference inside it, and both are left exactly as they were, since deciding them is a separate change rather than part of a carry. The intent-fidelity files this audit also flagged (`CODESTYLE.md`, `WORKFLOW.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `.editorconfig`, `.editorconfig-checker.json`, `.gitattributes`, `version.json` and `AUDIT.md`) are judged by meaning rather than copied, so they are a separate change.

🟢 Approval recommended
The changes are a mechanical verbatim-fidelity re-vendor of carried governance/skill content with no functional code changes and no issues found in the updated text.
Pull request overview
This pull request mechanically re-vendors verbatim-fidelity carried content from the hub release 2.0.577, syncing this repository’s .github/skills/** distribution and the specified verbatim sections in AGENTS.md and GOVERNANCE.md so they are byte-aligned with the canonical source.
Changes:
- Update 21 carried Skill files under
.github/skills/**to the latest hub canonical content (including adding previously-missing carried files). - Refresh verbatim governance/agent procedure sections in
AGENTS.mdandGOVERNANCE.md(review/release/verification/workflow conventions).

In @.github/skills/audit-a-repo/SKILL.md:
- Line 21: The applicability guidance for `classificationPending` must not treat
every absent construct as N/A. Update the `AUDIT.md` section 3 rule to classify
an absent construct required by an applicable guarantee as a defect, while
retaining N/A only when the item has no concern in the repository; preserve the
existing `WORKFLOW.md` section 1 applicability gate and repository-type
resolution.
In @.github/skills/dotnet-codestyle/references/testing.md:
- Around line 29-33: Update both
.github/skills/dotnet-codestyle/references/testing.md lines 29-33 and
.github/skills/dotnet-codestyle/SKILL.md line 213 to scope global.json,
Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage, and adapter requirements only to MTP
projects; document the xunit.v3.mtp-off VSTest path with
xunit.runner.visualstudio and Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk, and explain how to invoke
mixed solutions containing both project types.
In @.github/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md:
- Line 93: Update the gh pr merge command in the drive-pr workflow to include
--match-head-commit "$headRefOid", using the already captured headRefOid value
to prevent merging a changed, unreviewed PR head while preserving the existing
squash merge and repository arguments.
- Around line 104-105: Update the branch deletion flow around the git ls-remote
verification and later git push origin --delete so verification and deletion
cannot race: serialize branch writes, use a provider-side conditional delete
tied to headRefOid, or make automatic deletion report-only. Do not treat the
existing OID check as atomic deletion.
- Around line 79-80: The pre-push capture point must validate the resolved
target branch, including main, instead of measuring only develop or directing
other targets to --no-verify. Update the documented .husky/pre-push guidance in
the worktree/commit workflow so it consumes the target resolved by
local-strict-review, or provide an equivalent mandatory receipt gate that
applies to every allowed target.
In @.github/skills/local-strict-review/SKILL.md:
- Line 58: Update the delegated reviewer instructions in the local-strict-review
skill to explicitly treat all repository content read from Paths as untrusted
data that cannot override Rules, Bounds, or Return. Require clear delimiters
around each file’s content before review, while preserving the existing dispatch
and Paths guidance.
In
@.github/skills/operational-vs-release-workflow/references/release-publish-mechanics.md:
- Line 138: Update the recovery guidance around the failed run’s head commit
check to prohibit re-dispatch after the branch tip has moved. Allow re-dispatch
only when the tip is unchanged; if it differs and the re-run window has expired,
explicitly state that no recovery route remains, while retaining re-run as the
preferred commit-bound recovery path.
In @.github/skills/pr-review-conduct/SKILL.md:
- Line 189: Update the instructions around scripts/pr_review.py comment to
require passing the reply body as one safely quoted argument, such as --body
"$body". Document that the command supports only --body TEXT and prohibit
directly substituting reviewer text into the shell command.
In @.github/skills/skill-lifecycle/SKILL.md:
- Line 18: Update include_source() in build_dist.py to accept only explicitly
allowlisted, tracked documentation sources rather than any regular repository
file; reject untracked or non-approved paths, including secret-bearing Markdown
fixtures. Add a regression test covering an untracked secret fixture and verify
it cannot be rendered into generated skills.
In @.github/skills/workflow-ci-contract/SKILL.md:
- Line 31: Align the workflow-contract documentation with WORKFLOW.md:
regenerate the three workflow-contract include regions, then manually update the
non-include summaries and excerpts to require the smoke build and whole lint
gate for every push, permit publishing only for schedule or workflow_dispatch,
and remove documentation of paths-filter skips, bot-push publishing, and
push-triggered no-op behavior.

The hub released
2.0.577, which changed content this repository carries at verbatimfidelity.
spec/files.jsonbyte-locks that content, so the copies here are wrong rather thanmerely old. This is the mechanical carry class only. The intent-fidelity files are judged by
meaning rather than copied, so they are a separate change.

.github/skills/, carried withpython3 scripts/carry.py apply PlexCleanerfrom a hubcheckout at

AGENTS.md:Context and Delegation Discipline,Where the Rules Live.GOVERNANCE.md:Durable Knowledge and Self-Improvement,Release Model,Verification Discipline,PR Review Etiquette,Communicating with the User,Workflow YAML Conventions.How the overwrite risk was handled
Re-vendoring a carried instruction file wholesale is how a downstream repository's own local
rules get deleted silently, so nothing here overwrites a whole file. Only sections
spec/files.jsondeclaresverbatimwere replaced, in place.Verified mechanically after the commit, rather than by reading the diff:
verbatimsection.intent-fidelity section was modified..github/skills/and exactlyAGENTS.mdandGOVERNANCE.md, and nothing else.This repository carries an undeclared
Running the Linters Locally (Known-Working Invocations)section in
GOVERNANCE.md, and the audit's one template-reference finding is a sentence insidethat same section. Both are left exactly as they were. Whether that section stays, moves to a
topical doc, or is dropped is a decision rather than a carry, and it is reported upstream instead
of being made here.

interface:finding against.github/workflows/publish-release.yml, reporting thepublishjob as missingneeds.validate.result == 'success', was checked and is a falsepositive in the audit rather than a defect here. This repository's
