Session 0001.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-03T17-09 (PST) · End: 2026-06-03T17-10 (PST) Goal: Teach wgl-coding-session-init to propose the next roadmap goal and warn on an unclean baseline. Outcome: Shipped to main (plugin v0.2.0 → operator bumped to v0.3.0). First transcript for this app.

Note on timing: this session did not run wgl-coding-session-init, so no ID was claimed at start. The ID was claimed retroactively at finalize; the start stamp is the claim time, not the true session start (which was earlier).

Plan

1. In an app repo, make wgl-coding-session-init's output a ready-to-run /goal prompt naming the next milestone/phase from the app's roadmap.
2. Add a clean-baseline check: warn if there are changes not on origin/main, and propose a course of action.
3. (later, from operator) Edit plugin source only; document that policy in the plugin repo's CLAUDE.md. Operator owns pulling new plugin versions.

Pre-session state

• wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin at seed commit 633c1be on main, plugin version 0.1.0. Working tree carried in-flight (uncommitted) work from another effort: a docs-first rewrite in SKILL.md, an untracked DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md, and an untracked skills/wgl-dev-handbook/.
• wgl-coding-session-init/SKILL.md claimed an ID, surfaced in-flight sessions, and seeded a plan block, but had no notion of "what to work on next" and no baseline-cleanliness check.
• resolve-app.py resolved only the sessions target from app.json; it had no concept of the roadmap repo.

Turn-by-turn arc

1. Located the canonical source. Four copies of the skill exist (repo source, ~/.claude/skills, plugin marketplace, plugin cache). Established the repo as source of truth; the rest are downstream deploys.
2. Studied the resolver + roadmap shape. app.json expresses repo roles via a contains controlled vocab that includes "roadmap". The roadmap repo for ohm is ben/ohm-rfc → ROADMAP.md (prose, with "shipped"/"operator wants this next" markers and a wave/track dispatch model). Concluded "next item" selection is agent judgment, not a parser.
3. Extended resolve-app.py to emit ROADMAP_NAMESPACE/NAME/REMOTE/REPO_DIR. First cut located the local clone by a <namespace>/<name> path suffix and came back empty — because a clone's parent dir need not mirror its origin namespace (origin ben/ohm-rfc is checked out under …/ben.stull/ohm-rfc). Fixed by prefiltering on the directory basename (== name) and verifying by origin. Verified against ohm (resolves), ecomm (resolves to wiggleverse-ecomm-meta), benstullbets (empty, no error).
4. Added two steps to SKILL.md — Step 7 (clean, pushed-main baseline warning + proposed course of action) and Step 8 (propose the next milestone/phase as a /goal <…>, per <roadmap>/ROADMAP.md line), plus a description update and a docs-table row. Created CLAUDE.md documenting the source-only editing policy + version-bump-on-ship.
5. Dry-ran Step 8 against ohm. Surfaced that ohm's ROADMAP.md has competing structures (a formal wave plan ending at #13/v0.15.0 vs. later session notes referencing v0.19/v0.20 shipped) and a stale pointer ("operator wants #30 next" — #30 is shipped). Hardened Step 8 with an ambiguity → confirm-with- operator clause rather than asserting a single answer.
6. Bumped + committed + pushed. plugin.json 0.1.0 → 0.2.0; committed the coherent unit (resolver + SKILL Steps 7/8 + CLAUDE.md + the coupled DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md, which SKILL.md references) as e4b3226, pushed over SSH. Left skills/wgl-dev-handbook/ untracked (unreferenced standalone skill).
7. Finalize. Operator landed wgl-dev-handbook + bumped to v0.3.0 (with a description mentioning the handbook Q&A skill) and pushed. Updated memory. Initially the plugin repo had no app.json so the transcript flow had no home; operator added one on main, enabling this transcript.

Cut state (end of session)

• main clean and pushed. Plugin v0.3.0.
• This session's change: commit e4b3226 ("Session-init: propose next /goal from roadmap + warn on unclean baseline") — resolve-app.py, wgl-coding-session-init/SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md, plugin.json bump.
• app.json now lists this repo; sessions target wiggleverse/session-history under dev-claude-plugin/, numeric. This is session 0001.
• Memory updated: project_dev_claude_plugin.md + MEMORY.md index line.

What lands on the operator's plate

• Pull the new plugin version (/plugin marketplace update + /plugin install) to make Steps 7/8 live in running sessions — per CLAUDE.md, agents don't touch deployed copies; the operator owns this.
• Duplicate install: a standalone ~/.claude/skills/ copy still shadows the plugin's copies. Worth deduping someday.
• Field-test Step 8 in a real app repo (ohm/ecomm) to sanity-check the /goal line it produces on a prose roadmap.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

Open the wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin repo (~/git/wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/
wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin, v0.3.0). Read memory project_dev_claude_plugin.md
first. Session-init just gained Step 7 (clean-baseline warning) and Step 8
(propose next roadmap goal as a /goal prompt). Next: (a) field-test Step 8 by
running wgl-coding-session-init in a real app repo (ohm/ecomm) and sanity-check
the /goal line it produces; (b) dedupe the standalone ~/.claude/skills install
that still shadows the plugin's copies. Per CLAUDE.md, edit plugin source only
and bump plugin.json on ship.
