Session 0012.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-04T05-31 (PST) End: 2026-06-04T05-54 (PST) Type: coding Status: FINALIZED Posture: autonomous (yolo) — default Outcome: shipped v0.11.0 — handbook as the fifth session type / gate-lifter (PR #5, merge 3a856e0)

Launch prompt

/goal update the plugin so the handbook is an init option (full support - inferred, as well as output as an option by the blocking text (discovery needs to be added to that message, too)

Pre-state

On main, clean, fully pushed (main...origin/main, nothing unpushed).
Source plugin at v0.10.0 (session 0011). Session gate had four types (coding / spec / discovery / ignore); wgl-dev-handbook existed as a read-only Q&A skill but was not a gate option.
No other sessions in flight (dry-run peek clean).

Plan

Make the handbook a fifth Wiggleverse session type / gate-lifter:

hooks/session-gate.md — four → five; add a handbook row to the session-type table (→ invoke wgl-dev-handbook); update rule #1 ("five gate-lifter skills") and the <90% AskUserQuestion offer (five-type pool, honoring the tool's 4-option cap). This is the "inferred" classifier support plus "output as an option by the blocking text."
hooks/session-start — header comment lists the init skills but omits discovery; add discovery and handbook ("that message, too").
Reference sweep of live files for the new fifth lifter: README.md (gate section + add the missing wgl-dev-handbook table row), CLAUDE.md (gate paragraph), skills/wgl-dev-handbook/SKILL.md (note it is a gate-lifter / untracked session type), wgl-session-ignore, wgl-discovery-session-init, wgl-spec-session-init (four → five lifters).
Bump .claude-plugin/plugin.json 0.10.0 → 0.11.0.
Branch → PR → merge (autonomous default); historical docs/superpowers/ plan/spec artifacts left as point-in-time records.

Turn-by-turn arc

Gate + init. Classified the opening /goal as a coding session and invoked wgl-coding-session-init. Computed start 2026-06-04T05-31 (PST), confirmed a clean pushed main, dry-ran the claim (nothing in flight), claimed session 0012, seeded the placeholder's ## Plan and ## Deferred decisions.
Disambiguated the ask. Read hooks/session-gate.md and wgl-dev-handbook/SKILL.md. Discovery was already in the gate table and the AskUserQuestion offer — so "discovery needs to be added to that message" pointed elsewhere. Read hooks/session-start: its header comment listed only coding/spec/ignore — that was the message missing discovery.
Mapped every enumeration site with git grep for "four" / lifter phrasing, separating live files from the historical docs/superpowers/ plan/spec records (left untouched as point-in-time artifacts).
Design decision (logged below). Chose to make the existing wgl-dev-handbook the fifth gate-lifter rather than add a new wgl-handbook-session-init — a handbook session is untracked Q&A (no transcript), mirroring how wgl-session-ignore already lifts the gate without being a tracked init.
Implemented on branch handbook-as-init-option: gate table + rule + AskUserQuestion pool; session-start comment; reference sweep across README, CLAUDE.md, wgl-dev-handbook, wgl-session-ignore (also fixed a stale "two normal answers / third answer" count predating discovery), discovery- and spec-session-init; version bump.
Verified plugin.json parses and hooks/session-start still emits valid JSON (additionalContext len 3768). Reviewed the full diff.
Landed. Commit b46bf66 → push → PR #5 via Gitea API → mergeable check → merged (merge, HTTP 200, merge commit 3a856e0). Synced main, deleted the local + remote feature branch.

Deferred decisions

No dedicated wgl-handbook-session-init skill — reuse wgl-dev-handbook as the gate-lifter. A handbook session is read-only Q&A that claims no transcript (like wgl-session-ignore), so a parallel *-session-init skill would be an empty duplicate. Chose to make the existing read-only Q&A skill the fifth gate-lifter instead, mirroring how wgl-session-ignore already lifts the gate without being a tracked init. Low-confidence vs. the literal "init option" wording, which could be read as wanting a fifth *-session-init skill — if the operator wanted true structural symmetry (a thin handbook init bookend), that's a small follow-up.

Cut state

main at merge 3a856e0, clean, pushed. v0.11.0. No open PRs. Feature branch deleted local + remote.
Files changed: hooks/session-gate.md, hooks/session-start, README.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and four skill SKILL.mds (wgl-dev-handbook, wgl-session-ignore, wgl-discovery-session-init, wgl-spec-session-init).

Operator plate

One re-install gate (as ever): the change is live only after /plugin marketplace update + /plugin install — running sessions still use the lagging cache.
The gate now recognizes a handbook session type; "how do we …" / "what does the handbook say about …" opening prompts route to wgl-dev-handbook (untracked, no transcript), satisfying the gate.

Coda — re-install, 0.11.0 now live (re-finalize at 05-54)

After the first finalize, the operator re-installed the plugin (/plugin enable + /reload-plugins) and re-invoked /wgl-session-finalize. The cache now carries 0.11.0 and the reloaded skills source from .../0.11.0/..., so the change is live — the long-standing "installed plugin lags at 0.3.0" gotcha is cleared. Re-survey confirmed main clean, no open PRs, nothing to land. Memory (project_dev_claude_plugin.md + MEMORY.md) updated to record 0.11.0 as the installed/live version. Transcript re-published in place (same ordinal 0012).

Next-session prompt

/goal pick the next dev-claude-plugin roadmap item (v0.11.0 is live; open seams: spec-RFC renderer deployment, BDD-planner project registration, Workflow-recording→BDD bug filing idea)
