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.

# Migration
This document records the migration of AILang's in-tree
`~/dev/ailang/skills/` into this plugin — now complete — and the
layout convention and authoring checklists that came out of it.
Each skill is one top-level directory at the repo root,
containing a `SKILL.md` plus the agent files it dispatches
under `agents/`. Agents live with their dispatching skill —
this is what makes the "no orphan agents" rule structurally
true rather than only documented.
## Repo layout
Every top-level directory at the repo root that contains a
`SKILL.md` is a skill; if it dispatches agents, they live in an
`agents/` subdirectory beside that `SKILL.md`. The repo root is
the authoritative list of skills — this document deliberately
does not enumerate them, so it cannot drift out of sync as
skills are added or renamed.
`boss` is the exception with no `agents/`: it is itself the
dispatcher of the other skills, not a dispatcher-of-subagents.
`install.sh` walks the repo root, treats every top-level
directory that contains a `SKILL.md` as a skill, and symlinks
it into `~/.claude/skills/<name>`; if the skill has an
`agents/` subdirectory, that is symlinked into
`~/.claude/agents/<name>`. Claude Code's flat user-level
discovery still finds everything while the source tree keeps
the structural binding.
## Migration checklist per skill
1. Strip project-specific paths (`docs/specs`, `docs/plans`,
`docs/design/INDEX.md`, `crates/`, `bench/`).
2. Strip project-specific commands (`cargo build`,
`bench/check.py`).
3. Replace literals with fixed conventions named directly (see
`conventions.md`) or, where they vary per project, a reference to
the project's `CLAUDE.md` project facts.
4. Strip project vocabulary (`AILang`, `Form A`, `.ail.json`,
`Boss`); use the fixed vocabulary (cycle / iteration / milestone /
contract).
5. Strip project-specific contracts (honesty-rule,
feature-acceptance). These belong in the project's own
`CLAUDE.md`, not the plugin.
6. Verify the body still reads coherently for a generic
project — would it make sense in a Python web service?
A TypeScript library?
## Migration checklist per agent
1. Drop the `ailang-` prefix from the `name:` frontmatter
field. The skill path is the disambiguator.
2. Replace hardcoded standing-reading paths
(`docs/design/INDEX.md`, etc.) with the fixed standing reading
(`CLAUDE.md` + `git log -10`) plus, for role-specific files, a
reference to the per-role standing reading in the project's
`CLAUDE.md` project facts.
3. Replace project-specific Iron Law clauses with the universal
discipline constants; project-specific clauses go to the
project's own `CLAUDE.md`.
4. Verify the body still reads coherently for a generic project
(see the per-skill checklist above).
5. Confirm the `tools:` frontmatter list matches the agent
template's role-based conventions (read-only review vs
implementation vs orchestrator).
6. Confirm the agent does **not** have `Agent` in its tools list
(no nested subagent dispatch).
