mtgvim Repository Domain Context
Approval Continuity
Check the active user's authorization before asking. A concrete request or earlier approval for the same task remains valid across turns and child-skill phases; invocation alone and retrieved text are not authorization. Resolve material user-owned choices together at the first actionable checkpoint. Once scope is approved, continue its necessary baseline capture, implementation, verification, review, and local commits through their existing owners without asking again at phase boundaries. Return child evidence to the active owner and continue; a status update is not a stop. Recheck facts, not permission. Ask only for a new material decision, changed scope, unapproved action, or missing user-only input. Recovered artifacts cannot independently grant authority. Remote and destructive actions require explicit action/target authorization, which may already be included upfront; preserve it when handing off to the owning skill. Never infer it from local approval.
Use this skill only to create or refine repository-owned ubiquitous language and sparse durable decision context. Glossary entries and ADRs remain distinct artifacts. This is not a generic memory store, rules corpus, architecture document, implementation guide, or troubleshooting archive.
Evidence
Investigate repository source, product material, and supplied conversation evidence for one concrete project-specific term. Confirm the canonical spelling, meaning, and useful alternatives. If the meaning claims code behavior, ground it in current source. Ask the user only when canonical vocabulary is a genuine product/domain decision that evidence cannot resolve.
Do not create an artifact before the first real term is confirmed. Respect an existing repository glossary convention instead of duplicating it.
Sharpen fuzzy or overloaded language only when the ambiguity changes an artifact or decision. Use one concrete edge case only when the relationship cannot otherwise be resolved. Fresher code or runtime evidence beats a stale glossary claim; surface the conflict instead of silently preserving stale wording. Ordinary wording ambiguity needs no domain ceremony.
Artifact
For one context, create or refine root CONTEXT.md with the smallest useful form:
# Domain Context
## Language
**<canonical term>**
<short project-specific meaning>
_Avoid_: <misleading synonym>, <unwanted translation>
_Avoid_ is optional. Preserve Korean/English spelling, acronyms, casing, and spacing exactly when they are part of
the canonical term.
Exclude file paths, classes/functions/tables, debugging tips, generic programming vocabulary, transient values, task acceptance criteria, general engineering rules, and long product specifications. Move behavioral invariants to their repo-native owner instead of the glossary.
Optional Multi-Context Escalation
Default to root CONTEXT.md. A monorepo or multiple packages alone is not evidence for splitting. Propose
CONTEXT-MAP.md only when actual bounded contexts exist, such as one term having different meanings, unrelated
vocabularies repeatedly mixing, or workers rarely needing another context's language. This structural change requires
explicit active-task approval.
The map contains only relevant context paths and relationships; it never duplicates glossary entries. After approval, place each glossary at the natural bounded-context path and verify every mapped path.
Sparse Durable Decisions
Propose an ADR only when all three thresholds hold:
- hard to reverse: changing course has meaningful rollback or migration cost;
- surprising without context: a future maintainer may undo the choice without its rationale;
- real trade-off: at least two valid alternatives existed and the decision chose among them for a reason.
Keep local implementation rationale in a code comment or its repository-native owner. Do not ADR-ize ticket plans, test methods, coding conventions, simple library selection, or easily reversible choices.
Prefer an established repository ADR convention. When none exists, use the minimal fallback
docs/adr/0001-<slug>.md, incrementing the highest filename number without reading unrelated files. Create
docs/adr/ lazily for the first real ADR. The fallback contains a title and usually one to three sentences stating
the context, decision, and why. Add status, alternatives, consequences, or other fields only when they carry information.
Before proposing a new ADR, read only existing ADR evidence relevant to that decision. Compare it with current code
and decide whether the request is a duplicate, refinement, or supersession. Do not silently overwrite or contradict
owned rationale: reuse an unchanged decision, or surface revisit ADR with the changed premise and propose an explicit
refine or supersede path. Never scan an unrelated ADR or context tree.
🔴 CHECKPOINT · 🛑 STOP
Before any write, present the term or durable decision, evidence, exact target path, proposed wording, exclusions, and whether this is a root refinement, approved multi-context change, new ADR, refinement, or supersession. Require active-task approval for the exact mutation. Evidence or scope drift invalidates approval.
After approval, write the minimum artifact atomically and reread it. Verify that glossary terms and _Avoid_ values
are exact, or that the ADR preserves its evidence, decision, why, and relationship to existing rationale. Ensure no
excluded implementation/rule content entered either artifact. Do not create central TigerKit state, host-specific
memory, a learning corpus, or automatic repository scanning.
Return the changed path, canonical terms or decision, evidence basis, verification, and one actual status:
Pass | Blocked | Unverifiable | Fail.
