Shared Infrastructure for Imbue
Purpose
Reusable patterns for analysis workflows, evidence logging, understanding verification, and structured outputs used across imbue skills and by dependent plugins (pensive, sanctum).
Modules
Anti-Cargo-Cult Reasoning
The modules/anti-cargo-cult.md module prevents superficial technical artifacts:
- Understanding verification protocol (Five Whys)
- Cargo cult red flags (code-level, thought-level, AI-specific)
- Integration with proof-of-work, scope-guard, rigorous-reasoning
- Recovery protocol for detected cargo cult code
TodoWrite Patterns
The modules/todowrite-patterns.md module documents naming conventions:
- Pattern:
skill-name:step-name - Common prefixes: evidence-logging, diff-analysis, review-core, catchup
- Examples from all imbue skills
Evidence Formats
The modules/evidence-formats.md module standardizes evidence capture:
- Command logging format
[E1],[E2] - Citation format
[C1],[C2] - Artifact indexing conventions
- Reference linking in findings
Analysis Workflows
Common workflow patterns (see individual skills for detailed modules):
- Diff analysis: See
diff-analysisskill modules - Catchup: See
catchupskill modules - Structured output: See
structured-outputskill
When to Reference
- New skill development: Use patterns for consistency
- Cross-plugin integration: Reference evidence formats from pensive, sanctum
- Template generation: Use output formats for reports
Integration Notes

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Command not found Ensure all dependencies are installed and in PATH
Permission errors Check file permissions and run with appropriate privileges
Unexpected behavior
Enable verbose logging with --verbose flag
