From 5a3f75df7ef6568d0720e17ae97172635940fe1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ori Nachum Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 20:38:03 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/31] docs: re-init CLAUDE.md and align all four harness prompts MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `/init` replaced the scaffold seed `CLAUDE.md` with a runtime prompt grounded in this repo, and the other three harness files were brought in line with it — each written for its own harness rather than restating the same text. - CLAUDE.md: command block (tests, single test, every lint/rubric/smoke gate), the cross-file CLI wiring (`_CliArgumentParser.error()` override, the `_json_hint` argv peek, the `parser_class` propagation trap, `CliError`, the stdout/stderr split, the catalog walked by `tests/test_cli.py`), a five-place checklist for adding a Substack noun, and `_PROMPT_FILE` vs `_RESIDENT_PROMPT`. - QWEN.md: the coding-session machinery for a Qwen Code session. - AGENTS.override.md: context only (identity stays in `.pi/SYSTEM.md`), and tells Pi's non-coding lane to report the scaffold gap rather than infer an implementation from the project description. - AGENTS.colleague.md: rewritten around colleague as the `/ask-colleague` second mind — per-verb expectations, the contracts a diff must respect, and the colleague#494 empty-skills caveat. - README.md: template-clone instructions replaced by this repo's own Status / CLI / Development sections. Fixes four drifts the docs carried: a Substack surface (posts, comments, statistics, subscribers) that does not exist on disk; a quickstart using `uv run substack-cli …` when `[project.scripts]` installs the binary as `substack`; a skill count of 11 against 19 on disk; and three files calling `CLAUDE.md` "the fullest write-up" while it was still the `/init` seed. Verified: 117 tests pass, `teken cli doctor . --strict` PASS, `harness-smoke --stage config` 6/6 PASS, scan-secrets clean, markdownlint clean, `devex pr lint` no violations. Qwen and Pi were asked "Who are you, and what can you do?" in this tree and both answered from their new files.

It does not: the current `.claude/skills/assign-to-workforce/SKILL.md` mandates the same repo-named `.worktrees.` root this file does, and explicitly says "Never use a bare `../worktrees/`". The claim was inherited from culture-agent-template's CLAUDE.md and describes an older revision of the vendored file. Only the branch-name half of the override still applies (`agent/`). Found by `ask-colleague review` on this PR. Its other two findings: the "eight skills originate in devague" phrasing is correct as written (docs/skill-sources.md lists exactly eight devague-origin rows, all re-broadcast via guildmaster — the direct-from-devague vendoring it recalled is marked superseded in that ledger), and the code-side "clonable template" strings are filed as #3 rather than folded into a doc-only PR.

"Every failure raises CliError" contradicted two deliberate paths: `_CliArgumentParser.error()` emits a CliError then raises SystemExit, and `doctor` returns 1 for an unhealthy report rather than raising.

Tracked files, correct — but the run artifact is copied into the gitignored `.colleague/` dir for grading. Stated. - docs/skill-sources.md listed 17 rows while `.claude/skills/` holds 19: `recall` and `remember` were vendored without ledger entries. Added both (guildmaster, scope literal adapted), plus a header line accounting for all 19. Qodo read the gap as "guildmaster does not supply these two" — it does ship both; the defect was the missing rows, not the supplier. Also corrected the kit description in CLAUDE.md, QWEN.md and README.md: 19 skills is 17 guildmaster + ask-colleague direct from colleague, not a single "canonical guildmaster kit".

From 180dedb9eede0749fb89684299c1c259c0472380 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ori Nachum Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 08:43:01 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 28/31] fix: address Qodo review on PR #5 (comments 3998832718, 3998832722, 3998832725, 3998832730, 3998832732, 3998832734, 3998832736, 3998832739) - 3998832718: `comment list` now sends the observed query (all_comments=true&sort=best_first, urlencoded) and flattens nested `children` replies depth-first, parents before replies, keeping parent_id/ancestor_path on each item. - 3998832722: reaction add/remove build their URL from http.publication_base(), so SUBSTACK_API_BASE reaches writes as it does reads. - 3998832725: `feed read` builds limit/cursor with urllib.parse.urlencode, so a cursor containing &, #, + or % can no longer forge or truncate the query. - 3998832730: run_webglass passes a finite timeout (120s, SUBSTACK_WEBGLASS_TIMEOUT; invalid -> CliError(1)) and maps TimeoutExpired to CliError(2) naming the variable. - 3998832732: http passes a finite timeout to opener.open (30s, SUBSTACK_HTTP_TIMEOUT; invalid -> CliError(1)); timeouts retry on GET and raise a single CliError(2) on writes. - 3998832734: UnicodeDecodeError/JSONDecodeError around response decoding on both the GET and write paths -> CliError(2) naming the URL, never retried. - 3998832736: an argparse usage/unknown-verb answer from webglass now maps to CliError(2) saying webglass-cli has no authenticated request verb yet, citing agentculture/webglass-cli#17. The verbs stay registered. - 3998832739: --body-json must decode to {"type": "doc", "content": [...]}; anything else is CliError(1) with the ProseMirror remediation. - 3998832738 (--send): behaviour unchanged by design; the help text and docstring now say the send:true path is unverified against the live API.
