Session 0018.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-05T18-04 (PST) End: 2026-06-05T18-10 (PST) Type: coding Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

Resumed via /goal next → stored Next /goal: field: align the plugin skills to the flotilla-only-provisioning rule (engineering §8.5 / digest named rule). Scope scaffold-gcp-project, wgl-gitea-admin's repo-create path, and wgl-session-coding-init's DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md card so initial stand-up hands the operator the launch-app/flotilla command(s) rather than describing by-hand provisioning. Edit plugin source only + version bump (per CLAUDE.md).

Plan

Canonical rule: engineering handbook §8.5 "Provisioning is a flotilla gesture"

• digest flotilla-only-provisioning. Key nuance found while reading §8.5: the suite's phase skills scaffold-gcp-project / scaffold-gitea-repos / provision-vm ARE the legitimate front door — the rule is "the agent doesn't provision on the operator's behalf; it hands the operator the launch-app/ flotilla command(s) and waits (operator-run gesture, holds in both postures)." So the alignment frames these skills within the suite + asserts §8.5, it does not gut working skills. Ad hoc ops on existing resources stay unaffected.

1. scaffold-gcp-project/SKILL.md — banner placing it as the cloud-foundation phase of launch-app; assert §8.5 operator-run-gesture rule; cross-ref sibling phases. Keep the gcloud detail.
2. wgl-gitea-admin/SKILL.md — scope the repo-create path to flotilla; keep rename/visibility/transfer/collaborator/webhook (ad hoc on existing repos).
3. wgl-session-coding-init/DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md — reframe "Standing up a new app" around the launch-app suite; add §8.5 to Source of truth.
4. Version bump plugin.json 0.15.0 → 0.16.0; README skills-table sweep.

Pre-state

• Branch main, clean, on origin/main at f406d8a (0.15.0, finalize-on-goal).
• Source version 0.15.0; the "align plugin skills to flotilla-only-provisioning" follow-up open since the canonical rule landed in engineering (session 0003, PR #11, merge c551b8b) with the plugin skills intentionally deferred.

Session arc

1. Session gate / resume. Opened with /goal next. Read the project memory's Next /goal: field → the flotilla-only-provisioning alignment. Classified as a coding session; ran wgl-session-coding-init next goal.
2. Claim. Peeked (dry-run: nothing in flight) → claimed session 0018 (2ba432b). Baseline clean on origin/main. CLAUDE.md already imports the digest.
3. Read the canonical rule. Read engineering handbook §8.5 + the digest rule, and the three target source files. Discovered the key nuance: §8.5 lists scaffold-gcp-project / scaffold-gitea-repos / provision-vm as the suite's legitimate phase skills — the front door, not by-hand provisioning. This reshaped the approach from "gut the by-hand sequences" to "frame within the suite + assert §8.5."
4. Edits (branch feat/align-flotilla-only-provisioning):
   • scaffold-gcp-project/SKILL.md: §8.5 banner (cloud-foundation phase of launch-app, operator-run gesture both postures, ad hoc carve-out); Scope guardrail cross-refs sibling phases.
   • wgl-gitea-admin/SKILL.md: scoped the repo-CREATE path to scaffold-gitea-repos/flotilla (guard blockquote + Discipline bullet); kept rename/visibility/transfer/collaborator/webhook on existing repos as ad hoc ops explicitly unaffected.
   • wgl-session-coding-init/DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md: rewrote "Standing up a new app" around the launch-app suite as the one front door + operator-run-gesture rule; added §8.5 to Source of truth.
   • README.md: tightened the wgl-gitea-admin + scaffold-gcp-project rows.
   • plugin.json: 0.15.0 → 0.16.0.
5. Verify. plugin.json validates; §8.5 framing present in all three skills; no stale 0.15.0 refs outside docs.
6. Land (yolo, end to end). Commit c3e207a → push → PR #10 (Gitea API) → --no-ff merge (6fee333) → sync local main → deleted feature branch.

Cut state

• main at 6fee333, clean, pushed. Source version 0.16.0.
• All three provisioning-adjacent skills conform to §8.5; README + version updated.
• Installed/live cache lags at 0.15.0 — operator re-install needed for 0.16.0.

Deferred decisions

• Framed the suite phase skills within launch-app rather than gutting them. §8.5 explicitly lists scaffold-gcp-project / scaffold-gitea-repos / provision-vm as the suite's legitimate phase skills (the front door), so the alignment positions them within the suite + asserts the operator-run-gesture rule instead of removing the gcloud / API detail. Alternative considered: strip the by-hand gcloud / Gitea-create sequences entirely. Rejected — they're what the suite phases actually run; the rule is about who drives (operator, not agent), not about deleting the runbook.
• Kept wgl-gitea-admin's frontmatter description "create" trigger. The skill still legitimately handles ad hoc one-off repo creation, so the trigger stays valid; the body now guards new-app stand-up toward flotilla. Alternative: drop "create" from the description. Rejected — would lose the ad hoc trigger.
• Minor bump 0.16.0, not patch. Observable behavior change across multiple skills (how the agent provisions) → minor, consistent with prior convention (0.14.0 for a behavior change). Low stakes.
• Version-bumped + PR-merged end to end under yolo. No separate approval gate; branch → PR #10 → --no-ff merge → branch cleanup, per the autonomous default.

Next-session prompt

/goal Re-install plugin 0.16.0 (/plugin marketplace update + install + /reload-plugins) and verify the flotilla-only-provisioning alignment is live in the INSTALLED skills (scaffold-gcp-project, wgl-gitea-admin, DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md); then pick up the next open seam — spec-RFC renderer deployment + planner-project registration, or the Workflow-recording→BDD bug-filing idea — per the dev-claude-plugin memory open follow-ups.
