Apply this workflow whenever repository instructions or skills are touched. ## Workflow 1. Confirm scope and affected files. 2. Audit guidance files: - Check `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`, and `pyproject.toml` against current behavior and commands. - If CLI behavior changed, update README app flow and the `Unreleased` changelog section in the same pass. 3. Audit for leaks: - Check for hardcoded tokens, keys, private URLs, and personal secrets in docs/config files. 4. Update agent instructions: - Keep `AGENTS.md` aligned with available local skills and trigger rules. 5. Update skill metadata: - Keep `SKILL.md` frontmatter descriptions trigger-oriented and specific. - Keep `agents/openai.yaml` short and UI-focused. 6. Validate: - Run `quick_validate.py` for modified skills. - Run repository quality checks before finishing. ## Output Standard Provide: - What was audited. - What was changed. - Why guidance changed. - What checks were run and their result. ## References Use `references/checklist.md` for command-level audit and validation steps. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/adamrajfer) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
