Makes the RT-62 identity contract durable for future agents, in three layers:

  • docs/repo-identity.md — the binding contract (two string forms and where each applies, derivation rules, daemon verb expectations + the runs exception, legacy-world behavior), cross-linked from docs/settings-architecture.md, pointer in CLAUDE.md.
  • packages/rt-client/README.md — consumer quickref (codec API, wire anatomy, do/don't); ships in the npm tarball so it's visible at node_modules in every consumer repo. (npm-visible after the next publish.)
  • skills/rt-repo-identity/SKILL.md — thin estate-wide router: description intercepts identity-adjacent tasks; body carries the five-line contract plus conditional doc routing with absolute paths. Validated RED/GREEN with scenario subagents (baseline agents hand-built identities and sent bare names to daemon verbs; with the skill loaded all three bound to the codec correctly).

Activation after merge is one line: ln -s ~/Documents/GitHub/repo-tools/skills/rt-repo-identity ~/.claude/skills/rt:repo-identity (matches the rt:* always-on convention — placement ratified by Matt).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes document a repository identity contract. They distinguish raw settings keys from serialized wire identities and define handling across stores, daemon payloads, REST paths, CLI flows, display labels, validation, and legacy state.

Changes

Repository identity contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define repository identity rules

Documents identity derivation, serialization, parsing, storage boundaries, CLI resolution, display labels, validation, migration, and legacy-state healing.
Propagate identity usage guidance

Aligns settings, client, skill, and project guidance with the raw and serialized identity forms and their daemon, REST, display, and legacy-state handling rules.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0db61

The PR documents repository identity handling and adds an activation guide, but the current text includes a machine-specific path and an overly broad identity rule that could misdirect users or cause settings lookups to miss; these are bounded follow-up issues, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness.

In `@CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 21-26: The guidance in CLAUDE.md lines 21-26 should limit
serialized repo identities to runtime stores, daemon payloads, and REST paths,
while explicitly preserving raw host/path keys for settings stores. Update the
corresponding opening rule in packages/rt-client/README.md lines 31-33 so it
likewise does not claim every per-repo key uses the wire form; retain the
references to docs/repo-identity.md and its applicable identity rules.

In `@packages/rt-client/README.md`:
- Around line 35-39: Add the text language identifier to the fenced identity
diagram in the README, preserving the diagram content unchanged.

In `@skills/rt-repo-identity/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 45-47: Update the documentation links in the skill’s reference
table to remove the author-specific ~/Documents/GitHub/repo-tools prefix;
reference the checkout containing the skill or use repository-relative paths so
users can follow the full-contract and settings-architecture documentation from
any checkout location.

Remove the machine-specific repository path.

The estate-wide skill is activated through ~/.claude/skills/, but Line 45 assumes the checkout is at ~/Documents/GitHub/repo-tools. Users with another checkout location cannot follow the full-contract route.

Reference the checkout containing the skill, or provide a repository-relative location instead of an author-specific path.

Adjusted in 5b27f9f: routing now names 'the repo-tools checkout this skill symlinks from' with the concrete path as a parenthetical — portable while staying copy-pasteable on this machine.

@m4ttheweric, the current PR checkout still contains the machine-specific paths on Line 45 and Line 46. The referenced commit is also unavailable in the sandbox.

Please retry after the commit is present in the PR branch. Keep the portable checkout description as the primary route. The concrete local path can remain only as an optional parenthetical.

* board skills: gate questions carry their own context (BOARD-39)

The review and respond wrappers now put per-question material in each
question's context field (thread quote + draft on respond-plan questions,
finding titles on the review tiers question, finalized replies on the
respond-post replies question with per-option description lines) and
narrow gate-level --context to shared background, with the shared 8192
budget rule stated at each site. Doctor's single-question gate is
deliberately unchanged.

* respond: cap gate questions at the form's 4-option limit

One question over 4 options sends the whole gate to the wait queue (live
specimen: a 6-thread replies question). Gate 2 now chunks replies into
replies-1..N questions of up to 4 options, and the answer reads as the
union of every replies-* answer.
