Brummel 26e9630496 refactor: drop dev-cycle-profile.yml for conventions + CLAUDE.md facts
The profile was never parsed — it was prose the skill bodies told the model to read, so most slots were dead, constant across every project, or fiction (the whole pipeline block, including the "tdd is opt-in" claim, was enforced by nothing).

Split it in two: constants become fixed conventions named directly by the skills (new docs/conventions.md), and the few genuinely per-project facts move to each project's CLAUDE.md under '## Skills plugin: project facts'. tdd/fieldtest/docwriter are now always available; the only behavioural toggle left is spec auto-sign.

Delete docs/profile-schema.md and templates/project-profile.yml; add docs/conventions.md and a project-facts section to templates/CLAUDE.md.fragment; rewrite all SKILL/agent prose and the pipeline/design/migration/README/INSTALL docs accordingly.

Install

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code with ~/.claude/ writable
  • bash or any POSIX shell to run install.sh

One-time global install

git clone <repo-url> ~/dev/skills
cd ~/dev/skills
./install.sh

install.sh creates symlinks from ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.claude/agents/ into this repo. Claude Code discovers them at session start under user-level skill and agent registries, so they become available in every project without further setup.

To uninstall:

~/dev/skills/uninstall.sh

Per-project activation

There is no profile file. A project activates the plugin through its own CLAUDE.md — which the skills read as standing reading on every dispatch. Two things go in it:

  1. Project facts — the handful of mechanical facts the skills consume (code roots, build/test command, issue-tracker slug, …), under a ## Skills plugin: project facts heading.
  2. Sittenkodex — feature acceptance criteria, anti-patterns the project has earned the hard way, domain-specific contracts.

A starter for both lives in templates/CLAUDE.md.fragment: the universal discipline sentences (only-orchestrator-commits, main sacrosanct, …) plus a commented ## Skills plugin: project facts template. Copy what you need into the project's CLAUDE.md and fill it in:

$EDITOR <project-root>/CLAUDE.md   # paste from templates/CLAUDE.md.fragment

Everything the plugin does not read from project facts is a fixed convention (spec dir docs/specs, 4-digit naming, the pipeline graph, …) documented once in docs/conventions.md and docs/pipeline.md — not configurable per project.

Update

cd ~/dev/skills && git pull

Symlinks pick up the changes automatically. If new skills or agents have been added, re-run install.sh to add the new symlinks (it is idempotent and will not overwrite existing ones).
