Summary

Adds .claude/skills/do/SKILL.md, an autonomous /do skill adapted to
this repo's actual workflow. It's based on a portable /do template
pattern (research -> worktree -> implement -> validate -> review ->
verify -> PR/merge) drafted in raphaeltm/simple-agent-manager#1945,
but written directly against AGENTS.md's real conventions rather than
the generic Handlebars version:

  • Generated-module regeneration (nix run .#assemble) and the golden
    snapshot check are called out explicitly, not left to be discovered.
  • Pre-PR validation lists the actual targeted nix build -L .#checks.<system>.* checks this repo uses, and explicitly avoids
    nix flake check, which AGENTS.md already flags as unsuitable
    here.
  • Review triggers map to this repo's own /code-review and
    /security-review skills, gated on the paths AGENTS.md's PR
    guidelines already call out (auth/secrets/webhook, AWS/IAM/networking).
  • AGENTS.md's Filing Issues rule is folded in as a phase step, not
    left implicit.

The key departure from the SAM original: state is tracked entirely in
the GitHub issue body, then the PR body, never in a local file. On an
agent-box deployment $HOME is shared across every concurrent session
and persists across reboots, so a hidden .do-state.md-style file
isn't a disposable per-task cache the way it would be on ephemeral CI
— it's durable, collision-prone shared state with no owner. A
TodoWrite list stays in the workflow as an in-session view, but it
is never the record of truth.

Validation

  • Docs-only change (a new Markdown skill file); no .nix/.py/.ts
    touched, so none of the targeted nix build -L .#checks.* apply and
    none of the CI workflows' path filters (ci.yml, aws-ci.yml)
    trigger on .claude/skills/**.
  • Reviewed the rendered Markdown by hand for the checks, commands, and
    file paths it cites against the current AGENTS.md.

Adapts the portable /do workflow pattern (research -> worktree ->
implement -> validate -> review -> verify -> PR/merge) to this repo's
actual conventions: generated-module regeneration, targeted nix
checks instead of `nix flake check`, and the Filing Issues rule.

Tracks state in the GitHub issue/PR body rather than a local file,
since $HOME on an agent-box deployment is shared across concurrent
sessions and persists across reboots -- a hidden checklist file would
be stale or colliding state, not a disposable cache.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the /do skill, which defines an autonomous workflow for agent-box tasks from issue discovery through implementation, validation, pull request merge, and worktree cleanup.

Changes

Task execution workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define the /do execution workflow
.claude/skills/do/SKILL.md
Documents task intake, GitHub state tracking, repository research, isolated worktrees, implementation conventions, and handling of unrelated work.
Validate and review changes
.claude/skills/do/SKILL.md
Documents targeted validation commands, security-review triggers, reviewer requirements, failure handling, and live verification procedures.
Complete merge and cleanup
.claude/skills/do/SKILL.md
Documents pull request requirements, checklist transfer, CI handling, merge guidance, worktree cleanup, issue closure, and checkout synchronization.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7fffd

The new autonomous workflow can perform live verification and merge a pull request without explicit user confirmation, creating a bounded risk of unintended production-affecting actions or merges. This should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In @.claude/skills/do/SKILL.md:
- Around line 14-16: Update the workflow instructions for the autonomous task
executor to require explicit user confirmation immediately before any live check
capable of mutating data and again before executing gh pr merge. Make clear that
successful checks or reviewer completion do not substitute for approval, while
leaving read-only verification and the existing phase order unchanged.
- Line 38: Update the code fence at the affected block in SKILL.md to include
the bash language identifier, changing the bare fence to a bash-labeled fence so
markdownlint MD040 is satisfied.
