fb2c469005 feat: add canonical agent workflow package (#19)
* feat: add Truth Sync intent checklist

* feat: add canonical agent workflow package

Add the .truthmark/agent canonical workflow package, convert duplicated host workflow bodies into adapter/expanded-adapter surfaces, and validate canonical/adapter freshness in Truthmark check.

Refresh generated surfaces and package metadata for Truthmark 2.3.0, with OpenSpec tasks completed and release notes added.

* fix: preserve native workflow skill packages

* docs: record native skill package decision

* fix: drop unused agent workflow package

* chore: remove implemented OpenSpec docs

* chore: release workflow fixes as 2.2.2

* fix: remove agent-visible version markers

* fix: drop generated surface version markers

* feat: capture decision context in Truth Sync

Truthmark-managed generated file. Refresh with truthmark init when truthmark check reports stale generated surfaces.
Use this skill automatically before finishing when functional code changed since the last successful Truth Sync. Also run it immediately when the user explicitly invokes Truth Sync.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-sync; Codex /truthmark-sync or $truthmark-sync; Claude Code /truthmark-sync; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-sync; Gemini CLI /truthmark:sync.
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes reopen the finish-time requirement, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish gate only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes need a fresh finish-time review, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish-time review only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Skip when changes are documentation-only, formatting-only, clearly behavior-preserving renames with no truth impact, when no Truthmark config exists yet, or when there are no functional code changes.
Parent workflow:
1. Inspect git status, staged changes, unstaged changes, and untracked files directly.
@@ -13,36 +13,46 @@ Parent workflow:
4. Evidence authority:
- Repository instruction files and explicitly configured policy docs remain instruction authority when present; do not assume a repository uses any particular policy path.
- Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
5. Lane classification gate:
- before writing canonical truth docs, classify the request or change as product-lane, engineering-lane, both-lane, or ambiguous
- product-lane writes belong under docs/truthmark/product and state product promises, boundaries, rationale, decisions, and success criteria
- engineering-lane writes belong under docs/truthmark/engineering and state source-backed current realization, contracts, architecture, workflows, operations, or tests
- both-lane work must write separate product and engineering docs and cross-link them in route YAML with realized_by and realizes, not in doc frontmatter
- ambiguous lane ownership must block or invoke Truth Structure instead of writing a mixed document
- Do not make product docs a summary of engineering docs. Do not make engineering docs a detailed version of product docs. Product truth says what must be true and why. Engineering truth says how the repository currently realizes it.
6. Update engineering truth first after code changes. Update product truth only when implemented user-visible product promise or capability boundary changed and explicit source/user evidence supports it; otherwise report product-lane review needed.
7. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
8. Dispatch bounded Truth Sync workers only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
Topology quality gate:
5. Product truth decision:
- ask whether a user-visible promise, capability boundary, API contract, acceptance criterion, or explicit user/product evidence changed
- if yes, update or route product truth under docs/truthmark/product as well as engineering truth under docs/truthmark/engineering
- if no, default to engineering truth under docs/truthmark/engineering for internal implementation changes
- when both lanes change, keep separate product and engineering docs cross-linked through route YAML with realized_by and realizes
- when ownership is ambiguous, stop or route to Truth Structure instead of writing a mixed document
6. Capture decision context from the task conversation: ask whether the user provided a product or technical decision, rationale, constraint, tradeoff, rejection reason, or scope boundary. Preserve concise user-provided decision rationale in Sync Intent before truth edits, route it to Product Decisions, Engineering Decisions, Rationale, Capability Scope, Non-Goals, Maintenance Notes, or the relevant workflow/contract section, and report whether it was placed, skipped because none was provided, or needs manual handoff.
7. Update engineering truth first after code changes. Product truth is opt-in for externally visible promises, product boundaries, APIs, acceptance criteria, or explicit user/product evidence.
8. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
9. Dispatch bounded Truth Sync workers only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
10. Fill Sync Intent before editing truth docs or truth routing files:
- Changed code reviewed: functional files, tests, configs, generated outputs, or other implementation evidence inspected
- Affected route/truth owner: bounded route area or canonical truth owner that maps the change
- Target truth docs: docs expected to change, or docs reviewed and left unchanged
- Intended update: claim/doc/routing update planned before writing
- Evidence to verify: checkout evidence that will support, narrow, remove, or record each claim for manual handoff
- User-provided decisions/rationale: decisions, rationale, constraints, tradeoffs, rejection reasons, or scope boundaries from the current task conversation, or "none provided"
- No-update-needed rationale: why mapped truth is already current when no truth doc should change
- Blockers: missing routing, ambiguous ownership, failed verification, unavailable evidence, or off-boundary write needs
11. Only edit allowed truth docs/routes after Sync Intent is clear; if ownership is ambiguous, stop and recommend Truth Structure instead of guessing.
Topology review:
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area and bounded truth owner
- if routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all route only, or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, do not create another generic truth doc
- run Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is safe and in scope
- block and recommend Truth Structure when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- stop and recommend Truth Structure when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- report the route files and changed code paths that require structure repair
- README.md files are indexes, not Truth Sync targets
- must not append behavior details to a README.md index
- create or update a bounded leaf truth doc when behavior changes do not fit an existing leaf doc
- write engineering truth under docs/truthmark/engineering; product truth updates under docs/truthmark/product are allowed only for explicit current product behavior changes
Truth-doc ownership gate:
Truth-doc ownership review:
- before editing or relying on changed functional files and impacted truth docs, verify each target/source truth doc is a bounded owner for the behavior
- if a target/source doc mixes independent owners, spans unrelated behaviors, acts as an index, or needs cross-owner edits, do not patch or in-place repair it
- if an impacted doc is broad, mixed-owner, index-like, or the update spans independent behavior owners, run Truth Structure before syncing when safe and in scope; otherwise block and recommend Truth Structure
- report Ownership reviewed, Structure required, Truth docs split, Truth docs restructured, or Blocked reason as applicable
Decision/Rationale preservation gate:
- if an impacted doc is broad, mixed-owner, index-like, or the update spans independent behavior owners, run Truth Structure before syncing when safe and in scope; otherwise stop and recommend Truth Structure
- report Ownership reviewed, Structure required, Truth docs split, Truth docs restructured, or Manual handoff reason as applicable
Decision/Rationale preservation review:
- before any truth-doc split, restructure, or shape repair, inventory existing Product Decisions, Engineering Decisions, and Rationale sections in every source or touched truth doc
- preserve each current decision and rationale in the correct product or engineering lane owner; when splitting, move it to the new owner doc rather than deleting it or leaving it in an index
- remove or narrow a decision or rationale only when checkout evidence shows it is stale or unsupported, and report the exact claim, evidence, and result
- if ownership of a decision or rationale is unclear, block with manual-review files instead of deleting it or guessing
- if ownership of a decision or rationale is unclear, stop with manual-review files instead of deleting it or guessing
- after the edit, verify every touched truth doc keeps lane-appropriate decision/rationale sections and every pre-existing entry is preserved, moved, narrowed, removed with evidence, or blocked
When creating or updating a truth doc, inspect the routed truth kind and use the matching template under the configured Truthmark templates root.

- Truth Sync may restructure leased canonical truth docs when the current sync evidence shows repository truth is stale, even when the doc is outside the initially affected route focus.
- repair shape in place only after the ownership gate confirms the doc is the right bounded owner
- repair shape in place only after the ownership review confirms the doc is the right bounded owner
- use Truth Structure for ownership splits; do not treat broad or mixed-owner docs as in-place repair work

- preserve supported claims; remove, narrow, or record unsupported or stale claims for manual handoff

8. Dispatch bounded Truth Sync workers only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.

- when both lanes change, keep separate product and engineering docs cross-linked through route YAML with realized_by and realizes
- when ownership is ambiguous, stop or route to Truth Structure instead of writing a mixed document
6. Capture decision context from the task conversation: ask whether the user provided a product or technical decision, rationale, constraint, tradeoff, rejection reason, or scope boundary. Preserve concise user-provided decision rationale in Sync Intent before truth edits, route it to Product Decisions, Engineering Decisions, Rationale, Capability Scope, Non-Goals, Maintenance Notes, or the relevant workflow/contract section, and report whether it was placed, skipped because none was provided, or needs manual handoff.

9. Dispatch bounded Truth Sync workers only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
10. Fill Sync Intent before editing truth docs or truth routing files:
- Changed code reviewed: functional files, tests, configs, generated outputs, or other implementation evidence inspected
- Affected route/truth owner: bounded route area or canonical truth owner that maps the change
- Target truth docs: docs expected to change, or docs reviewed and left unchanged
- Intended update: claim/doc/routing update planned before writing
- Evidence to verify: checkout evidence that will support, narrow, remove, or record each claim for manual handoff
- User-provided decisions/rationale: decisions, rationale, constraints, tradeoffs, rejection reasons, or scope boundaries from the current task conversation, or "none provided"
- No-update-needed rationale: why mapped truth is already current when no truth doc should change
- Blockers: missing routing, ambiguous ownership, failed verification, unavailable evidence, or off-boundary write needs
11. Only edit allowed truth docs/routes after Sync Intent is clear; if ownership is ambiguous, stop and recommend Truth Structure instead of guessing.
Topology review:
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area and bounded truth owner
- if routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all route only, or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, do not create another generic truth doc

Maintain architecture docs only for structure-level changes: system structure, module boundaries, runtime topology, persistence boundaries, cross-cutting contracts, or generated-surface ownership.
Keep ordinary behavior, endpoints, UI copy, validation rules, and bug fixes in behavior or contract docs unless they change those boundaries.
- Do not finish topology repair with mixed product/engineering authority in a single canonical truth doc.

# Truthmark Sync Procedure
Generated by Truthmark 2.2.1. Rerun truthmark init after upgrades.
Truthmark-managed generated file. Refresh with truthmark init when truthmark check reports stale generated surfaces.
Use this skill automatically before finishing when functional code changed since the last successful Truth Sync. Also run it immediately when the user explicitly invokes Truth Sync.
Invocations: OpenCode /skill truthmark-sync; Codex /truthmark-sync or $truthmark-sync; Claude Code /truthmark-sync; GitHub Copilot /truthmark-sync; Gemini CLI /truthmark:sync.
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes reopen the finish-time requirement, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish gate only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Explicit invocation runs immediately. Later functional-code changes need a fresh finish-time review, and an earlier explicit run satisfies the finish-time review only if no later functional-code changes occur.
Skip when changes are documentation-only, formatting-only, clearly behavior-preserving renames with no truth impact, when no Truthmark config exists yet, or when there are no functional code changes.
Parent workflow:
1. Inspect git status, staged changes, unstaged changes, and untracked files directly.
@@ -13,36 +13,46 @@ Parent workflow:
4. Evidence authority:
- Repository instruction files and explicitly configured policy docs remain instruction authority when present; do not assume a repository uses any particular policy path.
- Implementation code and canonical truth docs are inspected evidence for current behavior; they do not silently override workflow write boundaries.
5. Lane classification gate:
- before writing canonical truth docs, classify the request or change as product-lane, engineering-lane, both-lane, or ambiguous
- product-lane writes belong under docs/truthmark/product and state product promises, boundaries, rationale, decisions, and success criteria
- engineering-lane writes belong under docs/truthmark/engineering and state source-backed current realization, contracts, architecture, workflows, operations, or tests
- both-lane work must write separate product and engineering docs and cross-link them in route YAML with realized_by and realizes, not in doc frontmatter
- ambiguous lane ownership must block or invoke Truth Structure instead of writing a mixed document
- Do not make product docs a summary of engineering docs. Do not make engineering docs a detailed version of product docs. Product truth says what must be true and why. Engineering truth says how the repository currently realizes it.
6. Update engineering truth first after code changes. Update product truth only when implemented user-visible product promise or capability boundary changed and explicit source/user evidence supports it; otherwise report product-lane review needed.
7. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
8. Dispatch bounded Truth Sync workers only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
Topology quality gate:
5. Product truth decision:
- ask whether a user-visible promise, capability boundary, API contract, acceptance criterion, or explicit user/product evidence changed
- if yes, update or route product truth under docs/truthmark/product as well as engineering truth under docs/truthmark/engineering
- if no, default to engineering truth under docs/truthmark/engineering for internal implementation changes
- when both lanes change, keep separate product and engineering docs cross-linked through route YAML with realized_by and realizes
- when ownership is ambiguous, stop or route to Truth Structure instead of writing a mixed document
6. Capture decision context from the task conversation: ask whether the user provided a product or technical decision, rationale, constraint, tradeoff, rejection reason, or scope boundary. Preserve concise user-provided decision rationale in Sync Intent before truth edits, route it to Product Decisions, Engineering Decisions, Rationale, Capability Scope, Non-Goals, Maintenance Notes, or the relevant workflow/contract section, and report whether it was placed, skipped because none was provided, or needs manual handoff.
7. Update engineering truth first after code changes. Product truth is opt-in for externally visible promises, product boundaries, APIs, acceptance criteria, or explicit user/product evidence.
8. Code verification is parent-owned: follow repository instructions and task context, and report what ran or why it did not run.
9. Dispatch bounded Truth Sync workers only when the host supports subagent dispatch and the acting agent chooses that path; otherwise execute the same sync task inline.
10. Fill Sync Intent before editing truth docs or truth routing files:
- Changed code reviewed: functional files, tests, configs, generated outputs, or other implementation evidence inspected
- Affected route/truth owner: bounded route area or canonical truth owner that maps the change
- Target truth docs: docs expected to change, or docs reviewed and left unchanged
- Intended update: claim/doc/routing update planned before writing
- Evidence to verify: checkout evidence that will support, narrow, remove, or record each claim for manual handoff
- User-provided decisions/rationale: decisions, rationale, constraints, tradeoffs, rejection reasons, or scope boundaries from the current task conversation, or "none provided"
- No-update-needed rationale: why mapped truth is already current when no truth doc should change
- Blockers: missing routing, ambiguous ownership, failed verification, unavailable evidence, or off-boundary write needs
11. Only edit allowed truth docs/routes after Sync Intent is clear; if ownership is ambiguous, stop and recommend Truth Structure instead of guessing.
Topology review:
- before updating truth docs, verify the changed code resolves to a specific behavior-owned area and bounded truth owner
- if routing is missing, stale, broad, overloaded, catch-all route only, or cannot map changed code to a bounded truth owner, do not create another generic truth doc
- run Truth Structure before syncing when topology repair is safe and in scope
- block and recommend Truth Structure when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- stop and recommend Truth Structure when topology repair is unsafe, ambiguous, or outside the current task boundary
- report the route files and changed code paths that require structure repair
- README.md files are indexes, not Truth Sync targets
- must not append behavior details to a README.md index
- create or update a bounded leaf truth doc when behavior changes do not fit an existing leaf doc
- write engineering truth under docs/truthmark/engineering; product truth updates under docs/truthmark/product are allowed only for explicit current product behavior changes
Truth-doc ownership gate:
Truth-doc ownership review:
- before editing or relying on changed functional files and impacted truth docs, verify each target/source truth doc is a bounded owner for the behavior
- if a target/source doc mixes independent owners, spans unrelated behaviors, acts as an index, or needs cross-owner edits, do not patch or in-place repair it
- if an impacted doc is broad, mixed-owner, index-like, or the update spans independent behavior owners, run Truth Structure before syncing when safe and in scope; otherwise block and recommend Truth Structure
- report Ownership reviewed, Structure required, Truth docs split, Truth docs restructured, or Blocked reason as applicable
Decision/Rationale preservation gate:
- if an impacted doc is broad, mixed-owner, index-like, or the update spans independent behavior owners, run Truth Structure before syncing when safe and in scope; otherwise stop and recommend Truth Structure
- report Ownership reviewed, Structure required, Truth docs split, Truth docs restructured, or Manual handoff reason as applicable
Decision/Rationale preservation review:
- before any truth-doc split, restructure, or shape repair, inventory existing Product Decisions, Engineering Decisions, and Rationale sections in every source or touched truth doc
- preserve each current decision and rationale in the correct product or engineering lane owner; when splitting, move it to the new owner doc rather than deleting it or leaving it in an index
- remove or narrow a decision or rationale only when checkout evidence shows it is stale or unsupported, and report the exact claim, evidence, and result
- if ownership of a decision or rationale is unclear, block with manual-review files instead of deleting it or guessing
- if ownership of a decision or rationale is unclear, stop with manual-review files instead of deleting it or guessing
- after the edit, verify every touched truth doc keeps lane-appropriate decision/rationale sections and every pre-existing entry is preserved, moved, narrowed, removed with evidence, or blocked
When creating or updating a truth doc, inspect the routed truth kind and use the matching template under the configured Truthmark templates root.
Supported kinds: product-capability, engineering-behavior, engineering-contract, engineering-architecture, engineering-workflow, engineering-operations, and engineering-test-behavior.

Align existing docs to that template and write or repair section content so it satisfies the comment guidance while preserving accurate authored content.
If the template is missing, use lane-specific sections: product truth says what must be true and why; engineering truth says how the repository currently realizes it.
Teams may edit template files under the configured Truthmark templates root to define their local truth-doc standards.
Truth-doc shape repair gate:
Truth-doc shape repair review:
- Truth Sync may restructure leased canonical truth docs when the current sync evidence shows repository truth is stale, even when the doc is outside the initially affected route focus.
- repair shape in place only after the ownership gate confirms the doc is the right bounded owner
- repair shape in place only after the ownership review confirms the doc is the right bounded owner
- use Truth Structure for ownership splits; do not treat broad or mixed-owner docs as in-place repair work

Keep ordinary behavior, endpoints, UI copy, validation rules, and bug fixes in behavior or contract docs unless they change those boundaries.
Evidence Gate:
Evidence checklist:
- route-first: map changed functional files to bounded route owners and primary canonical docs
- review new or changed behavior-bearing claims only in touched docs, route ownership, lane-specific decisions, and rationale
- support claims with primary checkout evidence: implementation, config, routing, generated templates, schemas, or contract definitions
- tests/examples/canonical docs corroborate; they are not sole proof when implementation conflicts
- remove, narrow, or block unsupported claims
- remove, narrow, or record unsupported claims for manual handoff
- if no impacted doc changed, report why truth was already current or why sync was skipped
