The Matt Pocock engineering skills (triage, to-tickets, to-spec, research, implement) assume per-repo config for three things: where work items live, what the triage label vocabulary is, and where domain docs sit. Nothing here declared any of them, so every skill run re-guessed. Frank's decisions, 2026-10-20: Gitea on Dankclaw as the tracker (no gh, no tea on any box, so it is recorded as prose — auth via a 600 curl config, the endpoint table, the 404-on-empty-token / form-encoded-merge / empty-200-on-merge traps, and the AGENTS.md laws a skill must not renegotiate); the canonical triage label vocabulary kept as-is, with the five labels created on the tracker (the repo had zero, so nothing collides); single-context domain docs. The configuration moved out of the skill's default docs/agents/ and into the one knowledge base this repo allows: three pages under omp-docs/skills/, an empty omp-docs/decisions/ carrying the ADR format rule, an "## Agent skills" pointer block in AGENTS.md, index entries, and a log entry. The glossary is deliberately not created — every candidate term already has an owner in system/, core/ or skills/, and a term list that paraphrases them is a second owner of facts already written down. Known cost: re-running setup-matt-pocock-skills will not recognise omp-docs/skills/* and will offer to recreate docs/agents/; the AGENTS.md pointer is what stops that. Also closes a verification gap found on the way: kb-lint.bats only ever points the linter at fixtures, so a page with no frontmatter or an index that stops listing a file passes the suite silently. Two tests now run the linter and the coverage checker against the shipped omp-docs/ tree. Refs #18

Architecture decision records
Decisions this repo has made and will not silently revisit. One file per
decision, named NNN-<slug>.md, listed here — an unlisted page fails kb-lint
and does not exist as far as any agent is concerned.
No ADRs yet. The first one lands the moment a decision stops being reversible.
Format
Same shape as the dank/dankvoice decision records, which read well under time
pressure:
# <Decision as a claim> (YYYY-MM-DD)— a title you can disagree with.- Root — the situation and the evidence that forced the question, with measured output rather than recollection where measurement exists.
- Decision — what was chosen, and the rule an agent must follow because of it.
- Rejected — the alternatives and the specific reason each was turned down, so nobody spends an afternoon rediscovering them.
- Verification — what was run to prove the decision holds, and where that proof lives.
Frontmatter is required like any other page in this bundle (type: decision), and
an ADR that a code change has superseded gets an amendment section appended rather
than a rewrite: the point of the record is that the reasoning is still readable.
