New skill that runs after a clean audit at milestone close. Picks
2-4 real-world programming tasks within the milestone's scope,
implements each in the AIL Surface form (.ailx), runs the binaries,
and writes a friction-and-bug spec to docs/specs/<date>-fieldtest-
<milestone>.md.
The dispatched agent (ailang-fieldtester) is restricted to DESIGN.md
plus the public examples/ corpus — crates/, runtime/, bench/ are
forbidden reads. This simulates a downstream LLM author who has only
the specification, which is the empirical complement to brainstorm's
prospective application of the LLM-utility criterion.
Findings classify as bug / friction / spec_gap / working, each with
a one-line downstream recommendation (debug / plan / ratify /
carry-on). The orchestrator dispatches the follow-ups; fieldtest
does not self-resolve.
Files:
- skills/fieldtest/SKILL.md
- skills/fieldtest/agents/ailang-fieldtester.md
- .claude/skills/fieldtest, .claude/agents/fieldtest (discovery
symlinks)
- skills/README.md updated (skill table → 6, pipeline ASCII,
agent roster, discovery list)
The skills are functionally complete and standalone — superpowers
references were attribution-only. Removed so a reader without the
superpowers plugin loaded isn't sent chasing dead links.
Plus: .claude/skills/<name> symlinks so Claude Code's Skill tool can
invoke them by name (analogous to the existing .claude/agents/
symlinks). Discovery section in skills/README.md updated to cover
both symlink sets.
Three symlinks per skill:
.claude/agents/implement -> skills/implement/agents
.claude/agents/audit -> skills/audit/agents
.claude/agents/debug -> skills/debug/agents
Tracked so contributors get correct subagent dispatch on clone.
Resolved correctly via 'ls -L'.
