Overview

Streamline repository guidance for Claude Code and Codex so common policy is
concise and always available while specialized workflows load only when
relevant.

  • I confirm this contribution is my own work, or I have the right to submit it under this project's license.
  • I searched existing issues and open pull requests, and this does not duplicate existing work.

Details

What changed:

  • Condensed the always-loaded repository guidance to architecture, non-obvious
    conventions, proportional validation, and external-action boundaries.
  • Reduced the maintainer skill catalog from 24 skills to 15 by removing generic
    coding and validation skills.
  • Narrowed retained skill triggers, removed companion-skill loading, and moved
    conditional documentation-review and version-automation details into
    references.
  • Aligned contributor documentation with focused checks, directly affected
    surface suites, and staged-file pre-commit behavior.
  • Required new unified-release packages and plugins to register with version
    automation when introduced.

Why:

  • Reduce always-loaded context and unnecessary skill loading.
  • Keep Claude Code and Codex behavior aligned through one shared guidance and
    skill source.
  • Avoid broad test matrices when a change affects only one surface.

Validation:

  • uv run pre-commit run
  • Schema validation for all 15 retained skills
  • Referenced-path and symlink audits
  • Fresh read-only Codex and Claude Code behavior checks for documentation,
    binding-local, shared-runtime, versioning, and PR scenarios
  • No language suites, because this change affects guidance only

Breaking changes: the removed maintainer skill names are intentional. Their
generic behavior is now part of the always-loaded repository guidance. Runtime
APIs, CI routing, packaging behavior, and consumer-facing skills are unchanged.

Where should the reviewer start?

Start with the root repository guidance and .agents/skills/README.md, then
review the trigger boundary between update-project-version and
maintain-packaging.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change replaces broad repository instructions with focused policies, updates maintainer skills, removes obsolete skills, adds NVIDIA documentation references, and standardizes conditional validation and project-version automation guidance.

Changes

Repository guidance and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository policy and contribution checks
AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/contribute/testing-and-docs.mdx, docs/resources/support-and-faqs.mdx, .agents/skills/README.md
Guidance now defines affected-surface validation, canonical checks, skill loading, documentation entry points, and assistant discovery rules.

Maintainer skill workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
API and contributor skills
.agents/skills/add-binding-feature/*, .agents/skills/add-middleware/*, .agents/skills/contribute-docs/*, .agents/skills/contribute-integration/*, .agents/skills/draft-release-notes/*, .agents/skills/rename-surfaces/*
These skills now use current documentation paths and conditional updates for affected bindings, wrappers, documentation, and tests.
Operational maintainer skills
.agents/skills/maintain-ci/*, .agents/skills/maintain-dynamic-plugins/*, .agents/skills/maintain-observability/*, .agents/skills/maintain-optimizer/*, .agents/skills/maintain-packaging/*
These skills now define narrower scopes, current references, and validation selected by changed surfaces.
Release and version workflows
.agents/skills/prepare-code-freeze/*, .agents/skills/prepare-pr/*, .agents/skills/update-project-version/*
Release workflows now cover explicit approval, expanded version surfaces, project-version invariants, automation audits, and focused verification.
Obsolete skill removal
.agents/skills/contribute-api/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/karpathy-guidelines/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/small-fix/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/test-*/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/validate-change/SKILL.md
Superseded API, coding-guideline, fix, binding-test, core-test, and validation skills were removed.

Documentation review references

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation review workflow and NVIDIA references
.agents/skills/review-doc-style/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/review-doc-style/references/*
The review workflow now verifies repository facts, selects focused references, checks MDX SPDX syntax, and applies NVIDIA guidance for terminology, language mechanics, and technical documentation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this guidance-only change because it updates repository instructions and maintainer documentation without changing runtime APIs, CI behavior, packaging, or consumer-facing functionality.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4efd3

The updated maintainer guidance can direct release work to the wrong branch, obscure versioned surfaces, and skip relevant observability validation. These workflow issues should be resolved before merge.

479-481: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make GitHub Releases the explicit release-history source.

Lines 479-481 use a generic, conditional “repository release page.” The updated release-note workflow requires GitHub Releases as the complete history source. Replace this wording with an explicit GitHub Releases reference and remove the availability condition.

Based on learnings, keep release-policy docs pointing to GitHub Releases as the only release-history source of truth. As per path instructions, review documentation for technical accuracy and consistency.

515-515: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not instruct contributors to run both documentation recipes.

Line 515 tells contributors to run just docs and just docs-linkcheck when links change. Both recipes currently run the same checks, and docs/contribute/testing-and-docs.mdx now says not to run both. Recommend one recipe, or describe just docs-linkcheck as the compatibility alternative.

As per path instructions, review documentation for command correctness and consistency.

Inline comments:
In @.agents/skills/maintain-observability/SKILL.md:
- Around line 59-61: Update the validation guidance in the
maintain-observability skill so affected binding suites and documentation checks
are required for any public observability contract or documented output change,
including event fields and ATIF, OpenTelemetry, or OpenInference projections;
retain narrower validation for changes outside those surfaces.

In @.agents/skills/maintain-optimizer/SKILL.md:
- Around line 27-28: Remove only the duplicate top-level plugin reference to
docs/configure-plugins/about.mdx from the References list, while retaining
docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/about.mdx as the configured Adaptive landing
page.

In @.agents/skills/prepare-code-freeze/SKILL.md:
- Around line 67-68: Resolve the PR target inconsistency in the code-freeze
instructions: clarify whether the release-bound PR in the required contents
section is a separate PR, or change its target to main so it matches the
approval step and guardrail. Keep the target explicit and consistent throughout
the skill.
- Around line 35-36: Update the version-bump step around set_project_version to
document that just set-version also updates Python packages, the Python worker
plugin, and coding-agent plugin manifests, or reference the canonical
version-automation documentation as the complete surface list.

In @.agents/skills/update-project-version/SKILL.md:
- Around line 48-49: Update the Markdown around the Workflow and Verification
lists in the update-project-version skill by adding complete introductory
sentences immediately before each list. Preserve the existing idempotence
statement and the note that set-version helpers report missing required fields.

In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 28: Update the maintainer guidance to expand ATOF on first use as Agent
Trajectory Observability Format and link its reference; separately expand ATIF
in the observability maintenance guidance or link its reference, preserving the
distinction between the raw event stream and trajectory export.

Key validation to the public observability contract.

The current rule runs binding suites only when native configuration or lifecycle changes, and it validates documentation only when the public workflow changes. This skill also covers event fields and ATIF, OpenTelemetry, and OpenInference projections. A binding-visible event or exporter change can bypass both checks.

Require the affected binding suites and documentation checks whenever the public observability contract or documented output changes.

Suggested wording
- Run only the binding suites whose native config or lifecycle contract
- changed.
- Update and validate docs or examples only when the public workflow changed.
+ Run binding suites when a binding-visible observability contract changes.
+ Update and validate docs or examples when the documented observability
+ contract or output changes.

Document the full version surface updated by just set-version.

The canonical set_project_version implementation also updates Python packages, the Python worker plugin, and coding-agent plugin manifests. This step lists only Cargo, Node, OpenClaw, and lockfiles, so the procedure does not match the command's coverage. Add the omitted surfaces or refer to the version-automation reference as the complete list.

Lines 67-68 and the guardrail at line 80 say that the code-freeze PR targets main. The required PR contents at line 74 say that release-bound PRs target release/*. If line 74 refers to a different PR, name that PR explicitly. Otherwise, change it to main.

- Rerun `just set-version <version>` when automation changed; it should be
idempotent and report no missing expected fields.

Python, and Node.js. Go and the raw C FFI are experimental and source-first.
- Scope stacks establish ownership, visibility, cleanup, and event parentage.
Middleware and plugins operate within that scope model; events are emitted in
ATOF form and consumed by subscribers or exporters.

Use the canonical format names in the maintainer guidance.

ATOF in AGENTS.md means Agent Trajectory Observability Format. It is distinct from ATIF, Agent Trajectory Interchange Format. Expand ATOF on first use and link to its reference. Expand ATIF in .agents/skills/maintain-observability/SKILL.md or link to its reference so maintainers do not confuse the raw event stream with trajectory export.
