📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a new primitive P20 (cross-model adversarial review gate) to the Broomva Stack, adding one primitive and one skill to the framework. The changes span the specification document, the canonical skill manifest, and the compliance validation script, updating all references to primitive enumeration to include P20 alongside P1–P19.

Changes

P20 Cross-Model Adversarial Review Gate Addition

Layer / File(s) Summary
P20 primitive contract specification
references/primitives.md
Introduces P20 as a mandatory cross-model review gate requiring three escalating review strata, anti-slop scoring with up to three fix/rescore rounds, merge gating for substantive PRs, and a reflexive trigger rule that forbids relying solely on the writing model.
SKILL.md manifest and primitives table updates
SKILL.md
Updates metadata to reflect 20 primitives (P1–P20) and 30 skills, extends contract narrative and trigger conditions to reference P1 through P20, adds P20 entry to the primitives table documenting the cross-review behavior, and adds cross-review to the onboarding roster check.
Doctor script compliance validation updates
scripts/doctor.sh
Expands script header to cover P1–P20, updates CLAUDE.md primitives table validation from 19 to 20, adds P20 section to AGENTS.md primitive enumeration, and includes P20 in reflexive trigger enforcement checks.

**Invariant**: substantive PRs (>200 LOC OR public API change OR multi-file OR governance-class) cannot merge without cross-model adversarial verdict ≥ 7/10. Self-review by the writing model is forbidden as the *sole* verdict. The gate fires *before* P4 auto-merge — not after merge as code review.

2. **When verdict < 7** — fix → rescore. Max 3 rounds. Round 3 failure → escalate to user.

Resolve P20 gate timing contradiction (pre-push vs PR-comment logging).

Line 400 requires PR-comment logging, but Line 406 requires verdict before push. Those cannot both be true without a “local pre-push score + post-push PR logging” split, or by moving the mandatory gate to pre-merge.

Normalize stale primitive/skill counts across the rest of this document.

This update correctly sets “Twenty / Thirty,” but multiple later sections still say older values (e.g., Lines 60, 61, 74, 84, 246, 295, 302, 312, 319, 393, 395). That leaves conflicting operator guidance in one canonical file.

  parallel. Anti-slop >=7/10, max 3 fix rounds, verdict logged in PR.
- Step 16 (PR push) extended to require including the cross-review
  verdict in the PR description or first comment.
- 4 new anti-rationalization rows: 'I self-reviewed', 'small PR — skip',
  'CodeRabbit will catch it', '/goal already evaluates'.
- Composition table: new Step 15.5 row mapping to P20.

tests/pressure-scenarios.md:
- New Scenario 7: writer-self-confidence + downstream-gate-trust
  pressure ('I implemented it carefully, CodeRabbit catches issues,

- [Unreleased] documents Step 15.5 + Scenario 7 + companion PRs

The CI 'skill structure' regression guard checks for '20-reflex

not a new whole-number step.

* feat(templates): refresh CLAUDE.md.template + AGENTS.md.template to P1–P19

Templates were stuck at "thirteen primitives" (P1–P13) while bstack
SKILL.md, scripts/doctor.sh, and references/primitives.md had moved to
nineteen (P1–P19). This scaffolded every new workspace into permanent
disagreement with the catalog — `bstack bootstrap` produced governance
files that `bstack doctor` then reported as having six missing primitive
sections.

Changes:

1. **CLAUDE.md.template** (+58/-22): rewritten to nineteen primitives
   with the full table (P1–P19), short-name convention + index, Plugin
   Skill Precedence section (bstack > superpowers hierarchy), updated
   governance/hooks/conventions sections, Self-Documenting Standards
   block.

2. **AGENTS.md.template** (+220/-14): bumped intro to nineteen, every
   ### P# heading renamed to "### P# — Name: …" form, short-name
   convention + index added, full bodies for P14 (Dep-Chain), P15
   (Snapshot), P16 (Crystallize), P17 (Lens), P18 (Audience), P19
   (Orchestrate) — each with What/How/Invariant/Reflexive Trigger Rule.
   Composition-loop diagram rewritten in short-name form with P14–P19
   threaded at pre-flight + boundary crossings. Plugin Skill Precedence
   section after composition loop documents the bstack > plugin hierarchy
   and the "what this kills / what this keeps" partition.

3. **SKILL.md** (+1/-1): tiny drift fix — body said "16 primitives"
   while frontmatter said "nineteen". Now consistent.

4. **tests/template_lockstep.test.sh** (new, 188 lines): asserts
   primitive-count and structural consistency across the four
   governance surfaces that must agree:

   - SKILL.md frontmatter description (canonical count word + P19
     reference + P1–P19 trigger span)
   - scripts/doctor.sh EXPECTED_COUNT (the validator)
   - assets/templates/CLAUDE.md.template (intro count, table rows,
     short-name index entry count, Plugin Skill Precedence presence)
   - assets/templates/AGENTS.md.template (intro count, composition-loop
     intro, ### Pn section count, Plugin Skill Precedence presence)
   - Short-name index payload identity between the two templates

   13 assertions, all green at canonical count = 19. Designed to be the
   guardrail that makes this kind of drift CI-visible — when the next
   primitive is added (P20 in flight), this test catches any template
   that didn't get updated.

Numbering uses **bstack canonical ordering**: P7=Freshness, P8=Janitor,
P9=Wait. This matches the prior template state and bstack catalog
(SKILL.md, doctor.sh, references/primitives.md). The ~/broomva workspace
itself uses P7=Wait, P8=Freshness, P9=Janitor because of historical
script + config-dir naming (BROOMVA_P8_HOME, ~/.config/broomva/p9-
janitor/); that's a workspace-specific deviation documented in
workspace#54 and is NOT a template concern — new bstack installs get
clean canonical numbering.

Companion to broomva/workspace#54 (precedence + short names + P19 in
workspace governance). Independent of bstack#14 (P20 sync) — that PR
adds P20 to the catalog; once it merges, a follow-up updates these
templates + lockstep test to canonical=20.

Follow-ups (separate PRs):

- bootstrap.sh + revamp.sh ORDERED_SKILLS divergence from SKILL.md
  ROSTER (bootstrap installs persist + wealth-management + investment-
  management; ROSTER instead has autonomous + role-x).
- P20 propagation to templates after bstack#14 merges.

* feat(templates): bump to P20 (Cross-Review) after #14 merge

Companion to #14 (Cross-Model Adversarial Review Gate). bstack catalog
moved to twenty primitives via #14 (SKILL.md / doctor.sh / references/
primitives.md updated) but #14 did not touch templates. That's exactly
the drift this PR was created to close, and exactly what the new
template_lockstep.test.sh caught immediately after rebase:

  --- before this commit ---
  CLAUDE.md.template intro says 'twenty irreducible primitives (P1–P20)'
    → FAIL (says nineteen / P19)

  CLAUDE.md.template short-name index entry count
    → FAIL (19, expected 20)
  AGENTS.md.template + CLAUDE.md.template references P20
    → FAIL

  --- after this commit ---
  All 13 lockstep checks passed at canonical count = 20 (twenty)

Changes:

- **assets/templates/CLAUDE.md.template**: count phrase
  "nineteen → twenty", "P1–P19 → P1–P20", short-name index appends
  "Cross-Review (P20)", primitive table gets P20 row (mechanism: 3
  strata A/B/C, anti-slop ≥7/10, ≤3 fix rounds, broomva/cross-review
  skill; invariant: substantive PRs require ≥7/10 verdict before
  Pipeline P4 auto-merge).
- **assets/templates/AGENTS.md.template**: count phrase nineteen→twenty
  in intro + composition-loop, short-name index appends Cross-Review
  (P20), new `### P20 — Cross-Review` section with full What/How
  (3-strata table) / Invariant / Reflexive Trigger Rule (5 triggers).
  Composition-loop diagram threads Cross-Review (P20) between
  Empirical (P11) deploy verification and Pipeline (P4) auto-merge —
  the exact insertion point per P20 spec ("gate fires before P4
  auto-merge").

* feat: align P7/P8/P9 numbering to workspace canonical

Resolves the pre-existing numbering inconsistency where bstack canonical
disagreed with broomva/workspace AGENTS.md on P7/P8/P9. After this
change:

  P7 = CI Watcher + Productive Wait  (broomva/p9 skill — historical name)
  P8 = Skill Freshness Check          (SessionStart hook)
  P9 = Branch + Worktree Janitor      (make janitor)

This matches the workspace's renumbering documented in its naming-note
(P7's skill repo is broomva/p9 — named when it was the 9th primitive;
renaming the SKILL repo would break every npx skills add install).

Why workspace canonical wins:
- Workspace numbering is the actively-edited canonical (7 primitives
  added under it in the last 3 sessions: P14, P15, P16, P17, P18, P19,
  P20)
- Reverting workspace would touch many files; aligning bstack to
  workspace is contained to this single repo
- The doctor (which reads workspace AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md) now passes
  73/73 against workspace — eliminates the 1 pre-existing gap reported
  for several sessions

Changes:

SKILL.md:
- Frontmatter description: P7/P8/P9 sentences reordered to workspace
  canonical (Productive Wait → Skill Freshness → Janitor)
- Primitives table: rows swapped (P7 = Productive Wait skill p9 historical,
  P8 = Skill Freshness, P9 = Janitor)

references/primitives.md:
- Table of contents: P7/P8/P9 entries swapped to workspace order
- §P7 — now CI Watcher + Productive Wait (was Skill Freshness); skill-
  name note rewritten to "broomva/p9 historical name" instead of "names
  match"
- §P8 — now Skill Freshness Check (was Janitor); env vars updated to
  BROOMVA_P8_THRESHOLD_DAYS with legacy P7 fallback
- §P9 — now Branch + Worktree Janitor (was Productive Wait); protected
  path now ~/.config/broomva/p9-janitor/ with legacy p8 fallback
- Reflexive Trigger Rule subsection: now P7 (Productive Wait), was P9

scripts/doctor.sh:
- Header comment: reflexive list updated (P6, P7, P10..) instead of
  (P6, P9, P10..); script-mapping comments updated (P7 = p9.py,
  P8 = skill-freshness-hook, P9 = branch-janitor)
- P_NAMES array: P7/P8/P9 titles swapped to workspace canonical
- REFLEXIVE_PRIMS: P9 → P7 (Productive Wait is the reasoning-enforced
  one; Janitor (now P9) is mechanism-only)
- SCRIPT_PATHS: reordered so labels (P1, P2, P6, P7, P8, P9, P12) map
  to disk paths in the right order
- **Format-tolerant section matching**: doctor now accepts both
  `### P1: Title` AND `### P1 — Label: Title` formats (workspace
  AGENTS.md uses the labeled form; doctor was missing matches against
  workspace files). Fixed in P_NAMES section-presence check + the
  awk pattern in REFLEXIVE_PRIMS scan.

Companion fix in workspace:
- broomva/workspace/scripts/bstack-primitive-lint.py parse regex
  extended to accept `### P\d+ —` (label form) in addition to
  `### P\d+:` (original form)

Verified:
- bash scripts/doctor.sh against workspace → 73/73 PASSES
- G-L3-1 + G-L3-2 both green

The naming note about broomva/p9 skill being historically named is
preserved (and now consistent across workspace and bstack). The
"primitive number matches skill name" pedagogical claim in the old
§P9 is reframed in the new §P7 as "skill repo name is stable;
primitive number changed; this is intentional."

P20 Cross-Review (Strata B fresh-context subagent) on this PR's prior
HEAD scored 4/10 NEEDS-FIX. This commit addresses all blockers and
high-severity findings; round 1 of max 3 per the P20 reflexive rule.

## Cross-review findings + fixes

### [BLOCKING] doctor.sh regex mismatch with new heading format

Previous PR head changed AGENTS.md.template headings from
`### P1: Conversation Bridge (Episodic Memory)` to
`### P1 — Bridge: Conversation Bridge (Episodic Memory)`. But
scripts/doctor.sh line 138 was `grep -qE "^### $prefix:"` — required
colon directly after primitive number. Cross-review scaffolded a
workspace from the prior templates + ran doctor.sh and got
`28/70 passed, 42 gaps` — 20 missing primitive sections + 13 missing
reflexive trigger rules, all caused by heading-format regression.

The lockstep test (added by prior commit `c633f5c`) gave false-green
because it checked `^### P[0-9]+ — ` (the NEW format the PR introduces),
not what doctor.sh actually validates. Lockstep was checking the
templates were consistent *with themselves* instead of with the
validator. Textbook P16 substance-vs-ritual failure.

Fix: scripts/doctor.sh:138 regex now `^### $prefix[: ]` — accepts both
`### Pn:` (legacy) and `### Pn — Short: Long` (new short-name format).
The `[: ]` character class is one char (colon OR space); for prefix=P1,
matches "### P1:" and "### P1 — " but not "### P11:" (next char after
P1 is '1', neither colon nor space). Same fix on doctor.sh:155 in the
awk reflexive-trigger locator. Verified: scaffolded workspace now
passes doctor with 0 primitive gaps + 0 reflexive gaps.

### [HIGH] SKILL.md body drift — partial fix in prior commit was misleading

Prior commit `22bf59d` fixed line 60 (16→19) and claimed "now
consistent" in the message. Cross-review found SKILL.md body STILL
said:
- L60 "the 19 primitives + 29 skills" (should be 20/30 post-#14)
- L61 "19-reflex pipeline" (should be 20)
- L84 "The sixteen primitives" (should be twenty)
- L267-269 "P1–P16 rows" + "### P1: through ### P16:" + reflexive list
  ending at P16
- L319 "Primitive contract | 13/13" (should be 20/20)
- L393 "full P1–P13 reference" (should be P1–P20)

All six lines now corrected. Note L267 doctor-section description
now explicitly documents both heading formats supported.

### [HIGH] Lockstep test missed the bug it was supposed to catch

Added Section 7 to tests/template_lockstep.test.sh:
"Scaffold-and-doctor compliance". The REAL guardrail: scaffold a
temp workspace from the templates (mirror bootstrap.sh's
scaffold_governance_file flow), run doctor.sh --quiet against it,
assert 0 primitive-section gaps + 0 reflexive-trigger gaps. This is
lockstep-vs-validator, not just lockstep-vs-self. Auto-discovers
canonical count from doctor.sh and runs the full validation pipeline
against scaffolded output.

Test now has 15 assertions (was 13). All pass at canonical=20.

### [MEDIUM] P20 paraphrase dropped "Linear ticket"

Per `references/primitives.md` §P20, the verdict is "logged in PR
comments + Linear ticket". Templates said "logged in PR" only.

Both CLAUDE.md.template and AGENTS.md.template P20 entries now say
"logged in PR comments + Linear ticket (if workspace uses Linear)" —
preserves spec fidelity while acknowledging workspace-optional Linear.

## Test plan

- [x] `bash tests/template_lockstep.test.sh` — 15/15 PASS at canonical=20
- [x] Scaffold-and-doctor section confirms 0 primitive gaps + 0 reflexive
  gaps when templates are instantiated into a fresh workspace + doctor
  runs against it
- [x] Cross-review's specific verification command reproduced locally
  (scaffold + doctor with BROOMVA_WORKSPACE override) — passes

## Re-fire cross-review post-push

This is round 1 of 3 per P20 rule. After CI green, re-fire P20 gate
(Strata B fresh subagent) to rescore. Target ≥7/10 for merge.

Cross-review verdict log: stored in this PR's comments after re-run.
