fix(agents): standardize skill naming convention in templates#354
Conversation
Captures the pattern for running an autonomous monitoring loop that: - Monitors PRs every 120 seconds - Fixes CI failures proactively - Resolves merge conflicts - Enforces ADR-014 (HANDOFF.md read-only) - Creates missing GitHub labels - Creates fix PRs for infrastructure issues 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Expanded the prompt to include detailed monitoring strategies, aggressive problem-solving guidelines, and structured output formats for managing PRs effectively. Signed-off-by: Richard Murillo <6811113+rjmurillo@users.noreply.github.com>

Added 6 validated fix patterns from retrospective analysis: 1. Cross-Platform Temp Path (Skill-PowerShell-006) - Replace $env:TEMP with [System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath() 2. Here-String Terminator (Skill-PowerShell-007) - Terminators must start at column 0 3. Exit Code Persistence (Skill-PowerShell-008) - Add explicit exit 0 to prevent $LASTEXITCODE issues 4. Missing Labels (Skill-CI-Infrastructure-004) - Create labels before workflows reference them 5. Test Module Paths (Skill-Testing-Path-001) - Fix relative path depth for cross-directory imports 6. Document Platform Exceptions (Skill-Testing-Platform-001) - Update PR body when reverting to single-platform runners Also expanded PROBLEMS TO FIX list with 5 new categories. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Update autonomous PR monitoring prompt with critical rate limit awareness: **Rate Limit Thresholds**: - 0-50%: Normal operation (120s cycles) - SHOULD target - 50-70%: Reduced frequency (300s cycles) - 70-80%: Minimal operation (600s cycles) - >80%: MUST STOP until reset **Key Changes**: - Removed 8-hour time limit (now infinite loop) - Added mandatory rate limit check before each cycle - Dynamic cycle intervals based on API usage - Clear MUST/SHOULD RFC 2119 guidance - Updated output format to include rate status **Why**: rjmurillo-bot is used for MANY operations system-wide. Sustainable API usage is critical for reliability. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
User feedback identified that the autonomous-pr-monitor.md prompt was missing critical sustainability guidance. This commit implements all identified improvements: ## Prompt Improvements (docs/autonomous-pr-monitor.md) - Added SHARED CONTEXT section listing all rjmurillo-bot consumers - Added FAILURE MODES & RECOVERY table with detection/recovery patterns - Added recovery pattern examples for rate limit handling ## New Skill (skills-documentation.md) - Created Skill-Documentation-006: Self-Contained Operational Prompts - Defines 5 validation questions for operational prompts - Documents required sections: resource constraints, failure modes, dynamic adjustment, shared context, self-termination conditions ## Retrospective Enhancement - Added Artifact Quality Review section to Session 80 retrospective - Defines checklist for evaluating operational prompts/documentation - Expands retrospective scope from execution to artifacts ## Lint Configuration - Added docs/autonomous-pr-monitor.md to ignores (nested code blocks and XML-like prompt tags cause false positives) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
User feedback identified that validation questions 1-3 from Skill-Documentation-006 are universally applicable to ALL artifacts consumed by future agents: 1. "If I had amnesia and only had this document, could I succeed?" 2. "What do I know that the next agent won't?" 3. "What implicit decisions am I making that should be explicit?" This applies to: - Session logs (end state, blockers, next action) - Handoff artifacts (decisions made, what was rejected) - PRDs (unambiguous acceptance criteria) - Task breakdowns (atomic tasks, measurable done-criteria, explicit deps) - Operational prompts (resource constraints, failure modes) Skill-Documentation-006 now references 007 as its parent principle, specializing it for autonomous agents with sustainability requirements. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
User feedback: Questions 4-5 (resource consumption, sustainability) also apply to GitHub Actions workflows using shared credentials: - BOT_PAT - COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN - Any bot account tokens Added: - GitHub Workflows to artifact-specific extensions table - "Shared Resource Questions" section explaining when Q4-5 apply - Anti-pattern: Workflow with unthrottled API usage on every push - Pattern: Workflow with rate limit check, concurrency, scheduled runs 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Quality Concerns
Inconsistency FoundLocation: The template file at **Skill ID**: Use `{domain}-{description}` format (kebab-case, no prefix). The ID matches the filename.However, **Internal Skill ID**: The `Skill-{Category}-{NNN}` identifier goes INSIDE the file, not in the filename.This contradicts the stated goal of removing the deprecated Regression Risk Assessment
