From bcc00d38a8cc19cc3083f993fe3307e31fc00d4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Ayala Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:10:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(sdlc): graduate confidence ramp + advisor fallback to SDLC skill MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Confidence ramp pattern (Opus research → Fable batch review → 95% list → TDD) proven on v1.83.0 model-config batch. Advisor auto-fallback (spawn Fable subagent when advisor() unavailable) proven across 3 sessions. Both now codified in skills/sdlc/SKILL.md. Trimmed CI log audit + claude-md-improver refs to stay under 20K budget. 6 TDD tests cover pattern presence, batch review step, 95% gate, fallback documentation, Fable subagent instruction, and char budget. --- .github/workflows/ci.yml | 3 ++ CONTRIBUTING.md | 2 + skills/sdlc/SKILL.md | 6 ++- tests/test-skill-graduations.sh | 70 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 79 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100755 tests/test-skill-graduations.sh diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yml b/.github/workflows/ci.yml index 4620cc05..5dfbb6eb 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yml @@ -265,6 +265,9 @@ jobs: - name: Run Cowork plugin drift tests run: ./tests/test-cowork-drift.sh + - name: Run skill graduation tests + run: ./tests/test-skill-graduations.sh + # Clean up old bot comments on PR push (keeps PRs tidy) # Also runs on workflow_dispatch (no-op) so branch protection doesn't block auto-merge. cleanup-old-comments: diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index e390551c..205c899a 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ Thank you for your interest in improving the SDLC Wizard! ./tests/test-agents-md-interop.sh && \ ./tests/test-self-pr-review-skip.sh && \ ./tests/test-cowork-drift.sh && \ + ./tests/test-skill-graduations.sh && \ ./tests/e2e/run-simulation.sh && \ ./tests/e2e/test-deterministic-checks.sh && \ ./tests/e2e/test-scenario-rotation.sh && \ @@ -205,6 +206,7 @@ python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/ci.yml'))" ./tests/test-degradation-detection.sh ./tests/test-local-shepherd.sh ./tests/test-cowork-drift.sh +./tests/test-skill-graduations.sh ./tests/e2e/run-simulation.sh ./tests/e2e/test-deterministic-checks.sh ./tests/e2e/test-scenario-rotation.sh diff --git a/skills/sdlc/SKILL.md b/skills/sdlc/SKILL.md index 711b079b..16599b73 100644 --- a/skills/sdlc/SKILL.md +++ b/skills/sdlc/SKILL.md @@ -102,7 +102,9 @@ State your confidence before presenting an approach: | FAILED 2x | Something's wrong | Codex for fresh perspective; if still stuck, STOP | **`/effort max` now** | | CONFUSED | Can't diagnose | Codex; if still confused, STOP and describe | **`/effort max` now** | -**Dynamic effort bumping is NOT optional.** "Consider max effort" is the same as "ignore this."
