Problem

Language-level engineering standards (Rust; SQL across Postgres/MySQL/Oracle/SQLite) existed only as one role's stack references — so they loaded only when that role was explicitly invoked, and the only Rust reference was written around one private project, violating the repo's own universal-knowledge rule. There was no dialect-level SQL material at all, and no Rust or SQL review pass for /rev. Separately, architecture approvals produced no artifact that made failure modes and test cases explicit before implementation.

What changed

  • New skill category claude/skills/development/languages/ with two knowledge skills that auto-load from context via their frontmatter descriptions — no persona, no slash command:
    • rust — SKILL.md (ten blocking standards) + nine references: toolchain/lints as checked-in policy, dependencies/supply chain, ownership-driven architecture, error doctrine with a failure-table method, tokio task ownership and cancellation, rusqlite embedding, testing doctrine, boundary security, and a reviewer pass.
    • sql — SKILL.md (ten core standards, dialect router, altitude contract, scratch-container empirical check) + dialect references for PostgreSQL 18, MySQL 8.4/9.7, Oracle 26ai, SQLite, and a reviewer pass.
  • /arch gains references/design-for-predictability.md — the ARCH_APPROVED deliverables produced before implementation: boundary contract sheets, state tables with no blank cells, lightweight FMEA, a test-case table (negative rows ≥ positive rows), blast-radius notes, declared extension points; proportional to the track.
  • Routing: /be's Rust router row points at the language skill and its old project-specific references/rust.md is deleted; /dba gains a dialect-depth router; /rev's language-review index gains the Rust and SQL passes; /jorge indexes the new reference.
  • Rule amendment recorded in CONTRIBUTING (with an "Add a language skill" recipe), the ai-dev-team skill and its CLAUDE/AGENTS mirrors, disambiguation.md, commands/agents.md, README, and the skill-extension guide.
  • Skill count claims updated 38 → 40 at every checked site; CHANGELOG updated.

Review

A high-effort review of the diff surfaced ten confirmed defects — including a backfill template invalid on two dialects, a mis-gated MySQL INSTANT DDL row, a wrong Postgres rewrite claim, a review grep that could not distinguish documented from undocumented unsafe, and a workflow-trigger claim contradicting workflow.yaml — all fixed in the final commit.

Tests

  • python3 scripts/validate-framework.py — all seven gates pass (G3: skills=40, commands=50, templates=6).
  • claude plugin validate ./claude — passes.
  • ./install.sh --dry-run --editors=all --scope=project --yes — passes.
  • Every backtick-quoted relative path in the new/edited skills resolves in-repo; cross-file section references between the Rust references verified.

…eliverables

Language expertise becomes a first-class skill under
claude/skills/development/languages/ — rust (toolchain/lint policy as
checked-in files, ownership-driven architecture, error doctrine with a
failure-table method, tokio task ownership and cancellation, rusqlite
embedding, deterministic testing, boundary security, a reviewer pass) and
sql (parameterized-only, versioned migrations with expand-migrate-contract,
EXPLAIN-before-merge, a scratch-container empirical check, dialect branches
for PostgreSQL 18 / MySQL 8.4-9.7 / Oracle 26ai / SQLite, a reviewer pass).

References never auto-load, and language standards must apply whenever the
language is being written with no role command invoked — so these carry
auto-triggering descriptions instead of living as one role's references.
No persona, no slash command; the backend role's router now points at the
rust skill and its old project-specific Rust reference is deleted (that
file named one private project's modules and paths, violating the
universal-knowledge rule; the project-specific half moved to that
project's own repository).

The architect gains references/design-for-predictability.md: boundary
contract sheets, state tables with no blank cells, lightweight FMEA, a
test-case table whose negative rows must at least match its positive rows,
blast-radius notes, and declared extension points — produced before
implementation, proportional to the track.

Skill count claims updated 38 -> 40 at every checked site.
The DBA skill gains a dialect router (Postgres/MySQL/Oracle/SQLite) into
the sql skill's references; the reviewer's language-specific index gains
the rust and sql review passes; the disambiguation matrix and the agent
directory record the exception: core languages are knowledge skills that
auto-load from context, with the role agents routing into the one copy.
CONTRIBUTING amends the stacks-are-references key idea and adds an
'Add a language skill' recipe (no command step — loading from context is
the point); the skill-extension guide gets a banner pointing at it; the
changelog records what was added and why the old Rust reference was
removed.
The batched-backfill template becomes a PK-range batch (the LIMIT-subquery
shape fails on MySQL error 1093 and Oracle's missing LIMIT); the keyset
pagination section now carries the portable expanded comparison instead of
promising dialect forms the references did not contain; MySQL's online-DDL
ladder gates RENAME COLUMN at 8.0.28 and set/drop default at 8.0.12; the
Postgres DDL table stops calling now() volatile (STABLE, no-rewrite since
11) and names actually-volatile defaults; the undocumented-unsafe sweep is
demoted to a locator with the clippy lint as the deciding check; the
workflow note aligns its trigger claims with workflow.yaml (dependencies
are ARCH, listening sockets are SECOPS via network, unsafe is review
territory); the token template uses rand 0.9's fallible TryRngCore API and
rand joins the versions table; the sql skill stops naming /data as a
routing role against its own NOT-clause; the changelog's Removed heading
no longer swallows the pre-existing Added bullets; and the in-process
tower-oneshot handler-testing pattern lost with the old Rust reference is
re-established in the testing reference.

Pull request overview

This pull request updates the AI Development Team framework to treat Rust and SQL as auto-loading language knowledge skills (rather than stack references), and adds an /arch reference defining predictability deliverables to be produced at ARCH_APPROVED time.

Changes:

  • Added new auto-loading language skills under claude/skills/development/languages/ for Rust and SQL, including deep references and reviewer passes for /rev.
  • Updated routing/docs across the framework to point roles (/be, /dba, /rev, /arch) to the new language skills and to reflect the updated skill count (38 → 40).
  • Removed the prior project-specific Rust stack reference and introduced the architect “design-for-predictability” reference.
