Decouple testplan generation from story decomposition - #104
Conversation
Move testplan generation from /decompose to /draft, anchoring test cases to PRD requirements and interface changes instead of story acceptance criteria. This enables testplan review alongside the design document and eliminates the dependency on work breakdown for test coverage. Key changes: - Add Interface Changes section (§5) to the design document template - Generate testplan during /draft with requirement+IC-based derivation - Reverse traceability: stories reference test cases (Validated by) and interface changes (Interface Changes) in Design Reference - Simplify coverage matrix by dropping Test Cases column - Remove sync-manifest guard for testplan (no Story fields to resolve) - Renumber artifacts to reflect generation order (testplan 07→04, epics 04→05, stories 05→06, coverage 06→07) - Add graceful migration recipe for in-flight workflows (remove 2026-10-01) - Rewrite decomposition review criterion from content quality checks to cross-reference integrity verification (story→IC, story→TC coverage) Implements proposals/testplan-revamp.md.

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

When any of SKILL.md, guidelines.md, or controller.md in a workflow is changed, compare it against whichever of the other two files are present and check for verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks or paragraphs. Each has a distinct role: SKILL.md is the thin entry point, guidelines.md holds principles/limits/safety/quality/escalation, controller.md manages phase dispatch. Phase names and brief one-line descriptions appearing in multiple files is EXPECTED (cross-referencing, not duplication) — only flag substantial blocks of identical prose or step-by-step instructions that are copied between files.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

If a `SKILL.md` already exceeds 30 lines but was not changed by the current PR (a known pre-existing issue), don’t require fixing it as part of the PR. If the PR does modify a too-long `SKILL.md`, refactor it into a thin entry point (e.g., move bulk content to smaller companion docs and leave only a brief overview/links) so the `SKILL.md` itself stays within the 30-line limit.

Learning: For instructional/procedural Markdown “skill” files under `{design,bugfix}/skills/` (e.g., step-by-step “If X, do Y” content), ignore LanguageTool findings for the specific rule `ENGLISH_WORD_REPEAT_BEGINNING_RULE`. These sequential “If X, do Y” conditional steps are expected for instructional clarity; rewording to satisfy the rule can introduce ambiguity and reduce readability.

Learning: In `design/skills/*.md` (e.g., `design/skills/revise.md`, `design/skills/respond.md`) the AI agent “runtime file path” instructions must use repo-root-relative paths (the agent executes from the repo root). For example, use paths like `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/02-design.md` rather than `../../.artifacts/...`. Only apply relative-path path fixes to actual markdown hyperlink/reference syntax; do not rewrite these prose runtime path instructions.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows workflow skill files (e.g., kcs/bugfix/prd/design skills), do not require sanitization/normalization of free-form user-supplied identifier placeholders (such as {issue-key} or {issue-number}) when they’re used to construct artifact paths like `.artifacts/{workflow}/{identifier}/`. This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown workflows under {design,prd}/skills/ (e.g., publish/revise/respond), do not hardcode downstream branch names like `prd/{issue-key}` or `design/{issue-key}`. Instead, follow the existing `{branch-name}` propagation convention used by the implement and e2e workflows, and ensure downstream commands pass through the `{branch-name}` value consistently across publish, revise, and respond steps.

Learning: When reviewing the design workflow documentation under design/skills/*.md, account for the intended publication/sync order: design/skills/publish.md publishes the docs repo before sync, so feature-local Story identifiers in 07-testplan.md are expected at that stage and should not be treated as errors. design/skills/respond.md and design/skills/revise.md should only resolve published testplan Story fields via sync-manifest.json when it exists; if sync-manifest.json is absent, leaving fields un-resolved is expected. design/skills/sync.md is responsible for Jira-key resolution and should report any references it cannot resolve while preserving the original unresolved references as-is.

Learning: When writing/reviewing downstream phases in the design workflow that update the published docs repository, do not assume a hardcoded default branch name. Instead, read the `branch` value from `.artifacts/design/{issue-key}/publish-metadata.json` (produced by the publish step) and use that branch for any subsequent published-docs operations so user overrides are honored.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

Learning: In the flightctl/ai-workflows design workflow skills, treat the clarification path in the PRD Summary of 01-context.md as optional. The conditional wording “if one was recorded” already handles the “None published” case; research.md, revise.md, and respond.md must skip clarification reads when no path is recorded and should not add a separate explicit “None published” sentinel check.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, the `design` workflow phases `/research` and `/draft` are intended to be started “from scratch.” During these phases, it is expected that the code reads both `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/01-context.md` (for architectural orientation) AND the full PRD artifacts `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/03-prd.md` and `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/02-clarifications.md` to capture complete requirement detail and locked decisions. Only later phases that refine existing design artifacts (e.g., `/revise`) should rely on `01-context.md` as the authoritative requirement bridge and avoid re-reading the full PRD. Therefore, do not flag direct PRD reads as a policy mismatch specifically in `/research` or `/draft`.

Move the artifact-migration.md reference before file existence checks in decompose.md so legacy filenames are resolved during the migration period. Add requirement-based fallback matching for cross-cutting test cases with Interface Change: — (NFRs with no direct IC). Downstream phases (decompose, revise, respond) and the decomposition review now match these TCs to stories by PRD requirement overlap instead of IC overlap.

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like

**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):
- All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
this is critical for symlink compatibility- No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
- Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
with it- Schema field names and types must match between producer and
consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
and consumed in another, names and types must agree)- No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
expected cross-referencing, not duplication)

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

Learning: For instructional/procedural Markdown “skill” files under `{design,bugfix}/skills/` (e.g., step-by-step “If X, do Y” content), ignore LanguageTool findings for the specific rule `ENGLISH_WORD_REPEAT_BEGINNING_RULE`. These sequential “If X, do Y” conditional steps are expected for instructional clarity; rewording to satisfy the rule can introduce ambiguity and reduce readability.

Learning: In `design/skills/*.md` (e.g., `design/skills/revise.md`, `design/skills/respond.md`) the AI agent “runtime file path” instructions must use repo-root-relative paths (the agent executes from the repo root). For example, use paths like `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/02-design.md` rather than `../../.artifacts/...`. Only apply relative-path path fixes to actual markdown hyperlink/reference syntax; do not rewrite these prose runtime path instructions.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In Markdown templates containing nested triple-backtick code fences, wrap the outer template block with a fence of at least four backticks. This prevents inner triple-backtick fences from prematurely terminating the outer block and preserves correct Markdown rendering.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown workflows under {design,prd}/skills/ (e.g., publish/revise/respond), do not hardcode downstream branch names like `prd/{issue-key}` or `design/{issue-key}`. Instead, follow the existing `{branch-name}` propagation convention used by the implement and e2e workflows, and ensure downstream commands pass through the `{branch-name}` value consistently across publish, revise, and respond steps.

Learning: When reviewing the design workflow documentation under design/skills/*.md, account for the intended publication/sync order: design/skills/publish.md publishes the docs repo before sync, so feature-local Story identifiers in 07-testplan.md are expected at that stage and should not be treated as errors. design/skills/respond.md and design/skills/revise.md should only resolve published testplan Story fields via sync-manifest.json when it exists; if sync-manifest.json is absent, leaving fields un-resolved is expected. design/skills/sync.md is responsible for Jira-key resolution and should report any references it cannot resolve while preserving the original unresolved references as-is.

Learning: When writing/reviewing downstream phases in the design workflow that update the published docs repository, do not assume a hardcoded default branch name. Instead, read the `branch` value from `.artifacts/design/{issue-key}/publish-metadata.json` (produced by the publish step) and use that branch for any subsequent published-docs operations so user overrides are honored.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

Once a phase reads this recipe before performing artifact operations, its old-to-new fallback rules apply to all subsequent artifact references and conditional decisions in that phase; do not require each individual artifact check to repeat the legacy fallback text.

Learning: In the design workflow, a test case with `Interface Change: —` is a cross-cutting test case. Downstream traceability maps it to at least one story by overlap between the test case's covered PRD requirement and the story's `PRD Requirements`, rather than by Interface Change overlap. This rule applies to decomposition mapping, decomposition review, response cascades, and revision rebuilds of `Validated by`.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, treat `SKILL.md` as a size-constrained document: keep it at or under 30 lines. If a `SKILL.md` already exceeds 30 lines but was not changed by the current PR (a known pre-existing issue), don’t require fixing it as part of the PR. If the PR does modify a too-long `SKILL.md`, refactor it into a thin entry point (e.g., move bulk content to smaller companion docs and leave only a brief overview/links) so the `SKILL.md` itself stays within the 30-line limit.

Learning: In Markdown templates containing nested triple-backtick code fences, wrap the outer template block with a fence of at least four backticks. This prevents inner triple-backtick fences from prematurely terminating the outer block and preserves correct Markdown rendering.

Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, the `design` workflow phases `/research` and `/draft` are intended to be started “from scratch.” During these phases, it is expected that the code reads both `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/01-context.md` (for architectural orientation) AND the full PRD artifacts `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/03-prd.md` and `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/02-clarifications.md` to capture complete requirement detail and locked decisions. Only later phases that refine existing design artifacts (e.g., `/revise`) should rely on `01-context.md` as the authoritative requirement bridge and avoid re-reading the full PRD. Therefore, do not flag direct PRD reads as a policy mismatch specifically in `/research` or `/draft`.

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only.

For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like

**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):
- All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
this is critical for symlink compatibility- No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
- Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
with it- Schema field names and types must match between producer and
consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
and consumed in another, names and types must agree)- No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
expected cross-referencing, not duplication)

**/skills/*.md
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

Learning: In the design workflow, a test case with `Interface Change: —` is a cross-cutting test case. Downstream traceability maps it to at least one story by overlap between the test case's covered PRD requirement and the story's `PRD Requirements`, rather than by Interface Change overlap. This rule applies to decomposition mapping, decomposition review, response cascades, and revision rebuilds of `Validated by`.

Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows documentation, treat backtick-quoted workflow path templates that include placeholders (e.g., `commands/{command}.md`, `skills/{phase}.md`) as runtime-dispatch/template instructions for AI agents, not literal Markdown links. When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):
- All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
this is critical for symlink compatibility- No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
- Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
with it- Schema field names and types must match between producer and
consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
and consumed in another, names and types must agree)- No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
expected cross-referencing, not duplication)

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

Learning: In the design workflow, a test case with `Interface Change: —` is a cross-cutting test case. Downstream traceability maps it to at least one story by overlap between the test case's covered PRD requirement and the story's `PRD Requirements`, rather than by Interface Change overlap. This rule applies to decomposition mapping, decomposition review, response cascades, and revision rebuilds of `Validated by`.

Learning: In `design/skills/*.md` (e.g., `design/skills/revise.md`, `design/skills/respond.md`) the AI agent “runtime file path” instructions must use repo-root-relative paths (the agent executes from the repo root). For example, use paths like `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/02-design.md` rather than `../../.artifacts/...`. Only apply relative-path path fixes to actual markdown hyperlink/reference syntax; do not rewrite these prose runtime path instructions.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, the `design` workflow phases `/research` and `/draft` are intended to be started “from scratch.” During these phases, it is expected that the code reads both `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/01-context.md` (for architectural orientation) AND the full PRD artifacts `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/03-prd.md` and `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/02-clarifications.md` to capture complete requirement detail and locked decisions. Only later phases that refine existing design artifacts (e.g., `/revise`) should rely on `01-context.md` as the authoritative requirement bridge and avoid re-reading the full PRD. Therefore, do not flag direct PRD reads as a policy mismatch specifically in `/research` or `/draft`.

Instead, read the `branch` value from `.artifacts/design/{issue-key}/publish-metadata.json` (produced by the publish step) and use that branch for any subsequent published-docs operations so user overrides are honored.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

/decompose Step 7a only assigns ICs to stories that implement the IC (deliver its behavior). [QE] stories test that surface; they typically do not implement it, so IC-based matching would not copy the [DEV] story's TC set. Requirement matching only attaches Interface Change: — TCs. A [QE] story can therefore end up with a non-empty Validated by that lists only cross-cutting TCs — and this fallback never runs, because the line is neither missing nor empty.
Should [QE] ingest always union Validated by with requirement-heading matches (or should /decompose explicitly copy the related [DEV] TCs onto the [QE] story)?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch. Fixed in 7e8fb4e: e2e ingest Step 5d now always unions Validated by TC IDs with requirement-heading matches for [QE] stories, since /decompose assigns TCs via IC overlap and [QE] stories don't implement ICs. This avoids the gap where Validated by would only carry cross-cutting — TCs.

/decompose is expensive (full epic/story generation plus up to 2 subagent review rounds), and a substantial design change during /revise or /respond forces re-running it from scratch. Whether that cost is worth paying up front varies per feature, so make it a controller-level recommendation instead of a fixed phase position: after /draft, recommend deferring /decompose to just before /sync when the design carries signals of likely churn (open assumptions/ questions with real impact, ambiguous research findings, novel architecture, or explicit contentiousness). Otherwise keep the current default of decomposing right after /draft. design 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0 Assisted-by: Claude

Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

When any of SKILL.md, guidelines.md, or controller.md in a workflow is changed, compare it against whichever of the other two files are present and check for verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks or paragraphs. Each has a distinct role: SKILL.md is the thin entry point, guidelines.md holds principles/limits/safety/quality/escalation, controller.md manages phase dispatch. Phase names and brief one-line descriptions appearing in multiple files is EXPECTED (cross-referencing, not duplication) — only flag substantial blocks of identical prose or step-by-step instructions that are copied between files.

For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user

2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: When reviewing the design workflow documentation under design/skills/*.md, account for the intended publication/sync order: design/skills/publish.md publishes the docs repo before sync, so feature-local Story identifiers in 07-testplan.md are expected at that stage and should not be treated as errors. design/skills/respond.md and design/skills/revise.md should only resolve published testplan Story fields via sync-manifest.json when it exists; if sync-manifest.json is absent, leaving fields un-resolved is expected. design/skills/sync.md is responsible for Jira-key resolution and should report any references it cannot resolve while preserving the original unresolved references as-is.

Learning: When writing/reviewing downstream phases in the design workflow that update the published docs repository, do not assume a hardcoded default branch name. Instead, read the `branch` value from `.artifacts/design/{issue-key}/publish-metadata.json` (produced by the publish step) and use that branch for any subsequent published-docs operations so user overrides are honored.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

**/{SKILL.md,guidelines.md,skills/*.md,commands/*.md}
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like
../skills/controller.mdorguidelines.md) point to files that exist. Flag references to files that don't exist (dangling references). Also flag skill or command files that exist but are never referenced from SKILL.md, controller.md, or any command file (orphaned files).

**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):
- All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
this is critical for symlink compatibility- No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
- Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
with it- Schema field names and types must match between producer and
consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
and consumed in another, names and types must agree)- No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
expected cross-referencing, not duplication)

**/skills/*.md
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

⚙️ CodeRabbit configuration file
**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

Learning: In `design/skills/draft.md`, testplan self-review must validate requirement-to-Interface Change compatibility: for every non-`—` Interface Change in a test case under a PRD requirement heading, the referenced Interface Change's §5 `Requirements` mapping must include that parent requirement. Test cases with `Interface Change: —` are cross-cutting or have no direct Interface Change mapping and use requirement-based traceability.

Learning: In the design workflow, a test case with `Interface Change: —` is a cross-cutting test case. Downstream traceability maps it to at least one story by overlap between the test case's covered PRD requirement and the story's `PRD Requirements`, rather than by Interface Change overlap. This rule applies to decomposition mapping, decomposition review, response cascades, and revision rebuilds of `Validated by`.

Learning: In `design/skills/*.md` (e.g., `design/skills/revise.md`, `design/skills/respond.md`) the AI agent “runtime file path” instructions must use repo-root-relative paths (the agent executes from the repo root). For example, use paths like `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/02-design.md` rather than `../../.artifacts/...`. Only apply relative-path path fixes to actual markdown hyperlink/reference syntax; do not rewrite these prose runtime path instructions.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows workflow skill files (e.g., kcs/bugfix/prd/design skills), do not require sanitization/normalization of free-form user-supplied identifier placeholders (such as {issue-key} or {issue-number}) when they’re used to construct artifact paths like `.artifacts/{workflow}/{identifier}/`. This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

Timestamp: 2026-04-27T16:15:33.140Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, the `design` workflow phases `/research` and `/draft` are intended to be started “from scratch.” During these phases, it is expected that the code reads both `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/01-context.md` (for architectural orientation) AND the full PRD artifacts `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/03-prd.md` and `.artifacts/prd/{issue-number}/02-clarifications.md` to capture complete requirement detail and locked decisions. Only later phases that refine existing design artifacts (e.g., `/revise`) should rely on `01-context.md` as the authoritative requirement bridge and avoid re-reading the full PRD. Therefore, do not flag direct PRD reads as a policy mismatch specifically in `/research` or `/draft`.

Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown workflows under {design,prd}/skills/ (e.g., publish/revise/respond), do not hardcode downstream branch names like `prd/{issue-key}` or `design/{issue-key}`. Instead, follow the existing `{branch-name}` propagation convention used by the implement and e2e workflows, and ensure downstream commands pass through the `{branch-name}` value consistently across publish, revise, and respond steps.

Learning: When reviewing the design workflow documentation under design/skills/*.md, account for the intended publication/sync order: design/skills/publish.md publishes the docs repo before sync, so feature-local Story identifiers in 07-testplan.md are expected at that stage and should not be treated as errors. design/skills/respond.md and design/skills/revise.md should only resolve published testplan Story fields via sync-manifest.json when it exists; if sync-manifest.json is absent, leaving fields un-resolved is expected. design/skills/sync.md is responsible for Jira-key resolution and should report any references it cannot resolve while preserving the original unresolved references as-is.

Learning: When writing/reviewing downstream phases in the design workflow that update the published docs repository, do not assume a hardcoded default branch name. Instead, read the `branch` value from `.artifacts/design/{issue-key}/publish-metadata.json` (produced by the publish step) and use that branch for any subsequent published-docs operations so user overrides are honored.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

The respond and revise cascades write "Validated by: None — ..." when a story loses all test cases. This is a non-empty string, so the "missing or empty" fallback condition wouldn't trigger, skipping requirement-heading matching. Parse for actual TC IDs before deciding.

**/{SKILL.md,guidelines.md,skills/*.md,commands/*.md}
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like
../skills/controller.mdorguidelines.md) point to files that exist. Flag references to files that don't exist (dangling references). Also flag skill or command files that exist but are never referenced from SKILL.md, controller.md, or any command file (orphaned files).
Files:
e2e/skills/ingest.mdimplement/skills/ingest.md
⚙️ CodeRabbit configuration file
**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):
- All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
this is critical for symlink compatibility- No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
- Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
with it- Schema field names and types must match between producer and
consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
and consumed in another, names and types must agree)- No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
expected cross-referencing, not duplication)
Files:
e2e/skills/ingest.mdimplement/skills/ingest.md
**/skills/*.md
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

Learning: In `design/skills/draft.md`, testplan self-review must validate requirement-to-Interface Change compatibility: for every non-`—` Interface Change in a test case under a PRD requirement heading, the referenced Interface Change's §5 `Requirements` mapping must include that parent requirement. Test cases with `Interface Change: —` are cross-cutting or have no direct Interface Change mapping and use requirement-based traceability.

Learning: In the design workflow, a test case with `Interface Change: —` is a cross-cutting test case. Downstream traceability maps it to at least one story by overlap between the test case's covered PRD requirement and the story's `PRD Requirements`, rather than by Interface Change overlap. This rule applies to decomposition mapping, decomposition review, response cascades, and revision rebuilds of `Validated by`.

Learning: In the AI workflow skill files, story-type prefixes such as `[DEV]`, `[QE]`, and `[DOCS]` are fundamental decomposition-time classifications. A type conversion is handled as removing the old story and adding a replacement story, rather than as an in-place revision. The `e2e/skills/ingest.md` workflow is `[QE]`-scoped; other story types are explicitly warned about before proceeding and do not require normal-path selectors.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

**/{SKILL.md,guidelines.md,skills/*.md,commands/*.md}
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
Flag any absolute filesystem path in markdown files within workflow directories (*/SKILL.md, /skills/.md, /commands/.md, */guidelines.md). Paths like /home/, /Users/, /tmp/, /var/, /opt/ are prohibited because workflows are installed via symlink and must use relative paths only. Paths inside fenced code blocks that are clearly examples (containing "example", "e.g.", or placeholder usernames like /home/user/) are exempt.

**/*.md
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like
../skills/controller.mdorguidelines.md) point to files that exist. Flag references to files that don't exist (dangling references). Also flag skill or command files that exist but are never referenced from SKILL.md, controller.md, or any command file (orphaned files).

⚙️ CodeRabbit configuration file
**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):
- All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
this is critical for symlink compatibility- No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
- Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
with it- Schema field names and types must match between producer and
consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
and consumed in another, names and types must agree)- No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
expected cross-referencing, not duplication)
Files:
design/skills/revise.md
**/skills/*.md
📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)
For any changed skills/*.md file, verify that main steps are numbered sequentially (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3... or ## Step 1, ## Step 2...). Flag: gaps in numbering (1, 2, 4), duplicate numbers (two Step 3s), and any skill with more than 10 main steps (cognitive load risk for AI agents). Sub-steps (Step 1a, Step 3b) are acceptable ONLY when they represent conditional branches off the parent step (e.g., "Step 1a: If , do X"). Flag sub-steps that are actually new main steps inserted to avoid renumbering — those should be promoted to full steps with the sequence renumbered.
When workflows invoke commands that can affect shared systems, follow the documented approval and safety gates: verify
git statusbefore destructive Git operations, confirm branch and base before PR/MR pushes, require explicit approval for Jira writes, and run Vale before applying documentation changes.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

Learning: In the design workflow, a test case with `Interface Change: —` is a cross-cutting test case. Downstream traceability maps it to at least one story by overlap between the test case's covered PRD requirement and the story's `PRD Requirements`, rather than by Interface Change overlap. This rule applies to decomposition mapping, decomposition review, response cascades, and revision rebuilds of `Validated by`.

Learning: For instructional/procedural Markdown “skill” files under `{design,bugfix}/skills/` (e.g., step-by-step “If X, do Y” content), ignore LanguageTool findings for the specific rule `ENGLISH_WORD_REPEAT_BEGINNING_RULE`. These sequential “If X, do Y” conditional steps are expected for instructional clarity; rewording to satisfy the rule can introduce ambiguity and reduce readability.

Learning: In `design/skills/*.md` (e.g., `design/skills/revise.md`, `design/skills/respond.md`) the AI agent “runtime file path” instructions must use repo-root-relative paths (the agent executes from the repo root). For example, use paths like `.artifacts/design/{issue-number}/02-design.md` rather than `../../.artifacts/...`. Only apply relative-path path fixes to actual markdown hyperlink/reference syntax; do not rewrite these prose runtime path instructions.

Timestamp: 2026-04-12T00:25:51.234Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, for Jira URL examples inside skill Markdown files, follow the repo-wide convention and use a real example Jira link of the form `https://issues.redhat.com/browse/PROJ-123` (not a generic placeholder like `https://example.com/...`). Since this is a documented convention, do not flag it as a portability/documentation hardcoding issue when reviewing similar skill markdown files.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows workflow skill files (e.g., kcs/bugfix/prd/design skills), do not require sanitization/normalization of free-form user-supplied identifier placeholders (such as {issue-key} or {issue-number}) when they’re used to construct artifact paths like `.artifacts/{workflow}/{identifier}/`. This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

File: README.md:140-142
Timestamp: 2026-05-25T17:11:32.207Z
Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

Learning: In this repo’s “design skills” flows that consume `publish-metadata.json`, treat it as a trusted internal artifact produced by the `/publish` workflow: downstream PRD/design skills may rely on fields like `branch` only after the consumer verifies that the metadata file exists. If a metadata field is missing or empty, the schema/field validation should be implemented in the `/publish` producer (the source of `publish-metadata.json`) rather than duplicated in every downstream consumer, matching the current handling in the implement/e2e workflows for internally generated branch data.

The Validated by cascade uses IC overlap to match TCs to stories. If Interface Changes are updated after the cascade (renamed/added ICs), the cascade uses stale IC values and stories can lose valid TCs.

The new §5 "Interface Changes" section overlaps in scope with the existing §4.2 (Data Model), §4.3 (API Changes), and §4.7 (RBAC/Tenancy) sections — all of these already describe concrete system-surface changes (endpoints, schemas, permissions). Neither the template nor the section-guidance says whether an IC entry should cross-reference the relevant §4.x content or restate it. In practice this likely produces designs where the same endpoint/field/permission change is documented twice — once with full detail in §4.3 (or §4.2/§4.7), and again in §5 as an IC — which cuts against the "Be concise, every sentence should earn its place" rule in Suggestion: add a line to the §5 guidance clarifying the relationship, e.g. "IC descriptions should be a short restatement pointing back to the relevant §4.x subsection for detail (e.g., 'See §4.3 for the request/response schema'), not a duplicate of it — §5 exists for the enumeration and requirement mapping, not full detail." |
IC descriptions should name the system surface and summarize its purpose, then point to the relevant §4.x subsection for full detail. Prevents duplication between §5 (enumeration + requirement mapping) and §4.2/§4.3/§4.7 (detailed design). Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M) <noreply@anthropic.com>

@amir-yogev-gh Good catch — the §5 guidance said "Describe inputs, outputs, and key behaviors" which would produce duplication with §4.x detail. Fixed in d34bb3d: the guidance now says to name the system surface and summarize its purpose, then point to the relevant §4.x subsection for full detail (e.g., "See §4.3 for the request/response schema"). §5 exists for the enumeration and requirement mapping, not to duplicate the design detail. |

Review — overall looks good ✅
Verified the cross-references against the branch: the test-plan grep checks all pass (no stale 07-testplan/04-epics/05-stories/06-coverage filenames, no leftover Test Case References/Verified by), §1–9 numbering is consistent across design.md, section-guidance.md, README.md, publish.md, revise.md, the coverage-matrix Test Cases column is cleanly removed, and the Validated by/Interface Changes traceability is threaded correctly through revise/respond/e2e/implement. Nice work.
A few non-blocking findings:
1. Version bumps for e2e and implement look too low (should be MINOR).
e2e (0.5.0→0.5.1) and implement (0.6.0→0.6.1) took PATCH bumps, but their ingest.md changes are behavioral, which AGENTS.md classifies as MINOR:
- Filtering changed from Jira-key
Story-field matching toValidated byextraction - New rules:
[QE]union-with-requirement-matching, andValidated by: None/empty → requirement-heading fallback - Written testplan metadata table format changed (
Story/AC→Interface Change)
Suggest implement → 0.7.0 and e2e → 0.6.0.
2. §5 completeness is never self-checked in /draft.
Step 9's testplan derivation hinges on §5 Interface Changes being complete, but Step 6 (Verify Coverage) and Step 7 (Self-Review) have no check that §5 enumerates every observable interface change. Step 9c only validates that referenced ICs exist in §5 — it can't catch a §5 that's missing an IC, which silently under-covers the testplan. Suggest a Step 6/7 checklist item, e.g. "§5 enumerates every new/changed API, CLI, UI, config, and event surface, each mapped to its PRD requirement(s)."
3. Migration removed — old-numbered artifacts break silently.
Dropping the migration recipe is a reasonable call, but an in-flight workspace with old paths (04-epics.md, 07-testplan.md, …) will have /revise//sync read the new paths, treat the decomposition as absent, and skip cascades with no warning. Fine if intentional — just flagging that it's silent.
