LLM Mart Basic

The greenfield decomposition interview. Routed to at startup when .codearbiter/CONTEXT.md lacks the <!--INITIALIZED--> body marker and no source code exists, or when the user invokes /decompose. A senior-architect persona drives a six-layer interview, persists every layer to disk

The parallel fan-out primitive. Routed to by any skill or command that splits work across independent units and dispatches an agent per unit — subagent-driven-development, /sprint, parallel /review. It owns the dispatch/collect/funnel discipline: bound concurrency, isolate units,

The checkpoint coordinator for /feature. Routed to by /feature once a writing-plans plan exists. Groups tasks into batches, delegates each batch to subagent-driven-development (fresh author agent per task, full review chain, fresh verification), then stops for a human checkpoint

The terminal step of /feature and /sprint. Routed to once commit-gate has cleared, to decide the branch's fate — merge via PR, open a PR, or discard. Direct merge to the default branch is forbidden; every change lands through a PR. Under /sprint the skill auto-selects "open PR" a

Finish an already-merged branch. Proves the branch is contained in the fetched default, classifies leftover artifacts as unique / redundant / superseded, returns to a clean --ff-only default checkout, and deletes the merged local branch — every discard confirmed per item. Routed

The behavior-preserving restructure gate. Routed to by /refactor for a rename, extract, inline, move, dedup, or internal-implementation swap. Six gated phases prove behavioral parity through unmodified pre-existing tests; any diff that classifies as `feat` is not a refactor and i

The single permitted path to a version tag, for any target declared in the project's .codearbiter/release-targets.md. Routed to when the user invokes /release on a non-default branch with a green suite. Takes the declared target as its one argument, derives the SemVer bump from C

The secret-source gate. Routed to when changed code reads, writes, or passes a secret — API key, token, password, connection string, signing key, certificate, or any value that grants access. Validates that every secret comes from the approved store and never lands in source, log

Optional, opt-in STRIDE threat pass for a sensitive feature — invoked deliberately via /threat-model, never forced on ordinary changes. Walks the change's attack surface and security boundaries (governed by {{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/security-controls.md), surfaces threats and

The test-first gate. Routed to by /feature (after the spec is approved), /fix, and /refactor before any implementation code is written. Six gated phases — obligation scan, red, green, obligation verify, coverage, lint. No feature code exists before Phase 1 clears; nothing reaches

The deep, rarely-convened whole-codebase audit lane. Routed to when the user invokes {{CMD:tribunal}}. Seven gated phases — cost/model, map, roster dispatch, triage, report, approval+filing, telemetry. Costs on the order of millions of tokens; proceeds only after the user acknowl

OPTIONAL per-task isolation for autonomous parallel work. Routed to only on explicit opt-in by subagent-driven-development or dispatching-parallel-agents, so parallel units mutate files without colliding. Stands up one worktree per unit, works it in isolation, then integrates eac

The spec-to-plan bridge. Routed to by /feature once the brainstormed spec is approved, and by /sprint before execution. Decomposes the spec into 2–5 minute tasks, each carrying its exact file path(s) and a concrete verification step that maps to a tdd obligation. Writes the plan

The Socratic spec-refinement front of /feature, and the planning front of /sprint. Routed to BEFORE any code — it takes a one-line idea and drives it to an approved, concrete spec with testable acceptance criteria. Five gated phases — frame, shape, refine, write, review-and-appro

The only path to a commit. Routed to when the user invokes /commit or otherwise instructs codeArbiter to persist staged changes. Nine gated phases — permission, branch, classification, verification (test/lint/secrets), behavioral proof, diff review, selective stage, message, comm

Optional manual drift audit — report stale provenance-tracked docs (via _provenancelib drift detection across .codearbiter/.provenance/), then per stale doc offer re-scout / re-baseline / defer. Not the daily loop; commit-gate auto-heal owns routine maintenance.

The brownfield back-fill. Routed to by /create-context, and by startup when .codearbiter/CONTEXT.md lacks the <!--INITIALIZED--> body marker but source code exists. Six gated phases — pre-flight, scout dispatch, synthesis, gap interview, write, lock. Reads the existing codebase t

The banned-primitive gate. Routed to when changed code hashes, signs, encrypts, derives keys, generates security-relevant randomness, configures TLS, or imports a crypto library. Rejects broken primitives, disabled TLS verification, and home-rolled crypto; the approved-primitive

Investigate-then-decide root-cause analysis for a defect whose cause is unknown (distinct from /fix, which assumes a known bug). Five gated phases: capture, hypothesize, gather, decide, hand off. Investigation only, no code changes; exits to /fix, /adr, or a no-action close.

Author and track Architecture Decision Records. Routed to when the user invokes /adr to record a new decision or /adr-status to list ADR health. Authors numbered, dated, user-attributed ADRs under .codearbiter/decisions/, maintains supersede chains, and reports status read-only.

Fourteen posts of being wrong in production, compressed to checkboxes

Healthy nodes, a quiet network, 300 restarts in three days, and a latency budget measured in milliseconds

Discovery worked. Ping worked. Every TCP connection timed out, and later the tunnel only worked when someone had a terminal open.

Every VM came back. The cluster did not. Declarative systems converge on config, and the datapath isn't config.

A surprising share of AI-in-the-terminal failures aren't the AI. They're zsh, and a version of bash from 2006.

A Claude Code plugin turns standalone project configuration into a namespaced, installable extension that teams and communities can update as one unit.

None of the safety came from the model. It came from six boring habits.

Skills package instructions and references. Subagents run work in a separate context and return results. They solve different problems and can be composed deliberately.

Six hours in, one step left, everything green, and the incident that didn't happen

CLAUDE.md carries persistent project context. Skills load reusable procedures when relevant. Separating stable facts from task-specific workflows keeps both easier to maintain.

Twenty minutes recovering secrets that never existed, and the one sentence from a human that ended it

An API request routing a model's tool call through an approval gate to a remote MCP server

31 config keys, two audits, and why the first one was wrong in both directions

The official MCP Registry stores standardized server metadata rather than package code. Publishers verify a namespace, describe installation or remote access, and submit immutable versions.

Everyone looks at the Dockerfile. The file that actually leaked the key was the project file.

Remote MCP authorization uses established OAuth standards, but secure integration still requires issuer validation, least-privilege scopes, protected token handling, and server-side enforcement.

"Copy it over and switch the reference" is two steps, and the outage lives in the one nobody checks

stdio fits local processes and prototypes. Streamable HTTP fits hosted services and shared integrations. The right choice follows where the capability runs and who must reach it.

The most important rule wasn't about what I could change. It was about what I was allowed to display.

Tools perform operations, resources expose readable context, and prompts provide reusable templates. Choosing the correct primitive makes an MCP server easier to understand and govern.
