What it does
Gentle AI Rdd Defect Workflow is an agent skill from Gentleman-Programming/gentle-shell. Trigger: RDD, receipt-driven development, review authority, receipt/lineage, correction/recovery, delivery gate/kill switch, bounded review defects. Guide work.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: Gentle Shell is a Pi-native coding-agent harness for controlled development with Organic Driven Development, optional SDD/OpenSpec, subagents, TDD evidence, review guardrails… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Testing & QA work in your project
Example prompts
- “/gentle-ai-rdd-defect-workflow”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check mode, approval, PR conflicts, and current-main reproduction.
- Name invariant and rollback; isolate the worktree; CodeGraph-map code, tests, evidence, docs, distribution, and registration.
- Inventory flows and controls; add failing tests and the smallest correction.
- Normalize, enforce budget, run tests, and record each flow's exact candidate, command, scenario, and result.
- Freeze, validate read-only, and give the verdict, evidence, and one humane next action.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 42653f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Gentle AI Rdd Defect Workflow loads about 955 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 453 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Activation Contract
Load when the frontmatter trigger terms apply to a defect workflow.
This skill guides public collaboration. It does not grant issue approval, label, review, exception, or merge authority.
Hard Rules
- Review and Judgment Day evidence is review-only. Pi never mints delivery authority: ordinary commit, push, PR, and release always follow repository policy, regardless of RDD mode.
- Require an approved issue (
status:approved) and clean currentmainreproduction before implementation. Audit existing PRs for supersession or conflict; stop or narrow stale claims. - Group by causal authority invariant. Use one issue and one PR or explicit chain per independent invariant and rollback boundary. Split independent causes; never merge a superseded or conflicting authority line.
- Inventory every operator flow claimed by the issue or PR, including entry, mode, environment, expectation, and negative controls. Require one truthful black-box bench journey per CLI or lifecycle flow, or actual runtime E2E proof when the core bench cannot represent it. Synthetic proxy coverage never proves another runtime.
- Use CodeGraph-first impact mapping, a dedicated worktree, and behavior-first tests. Run source-mutating normalization before candidate freeze.
- Forecast authored changes before edits. The hard limit is 400 additions plus deletions; above it, STOP for a chain or explicit maintainer-approved exception.
- When RDD is enabled, bind review receipts, lineage, correction, and recovery evidence to the exact candidate. Keep bounded review defects in one correction transaction; never treat that evidence as delivery authority.
- Require independent read-only candidate validation before publication. Validation cannot edit source or authority; findings require a new candidate.
- Keep communication humane and evidence-based. Repository labels and workflow metadata are maintainer-owned, never evidence of contributor blame.

Decision Gates
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Any RDD mode | Review evidence remains review-only; ordinary commit, push, PR, and release follow repository policy with no Pi delivery authority. |
| Issue gate or reproduction fails | Wait, stop, or narrow with evidence. |
| Invariant or rollback is independent | Separate issue and authoritative PR line. |
| Core bench fits / does not fit | Bench journey / actual runtime E2E; never proxy. |
| Forecast exceeds 400 lines | Chain or approved exception before edits. |
Execution Steps
- Check mode, approval, PR conflicts, and current-main reproduction.
- Name invariant and rollback; isolate the worktree; CodeGraph-map code, tests, evidence, docs, distribution, and registration.
- Inventory flows and controls; add failing tests and the smallest correction.
- Normalize, enforce budget, run tests, and record each flow's exact candidate, command, scenario, and result.
- Freeze, validate read-only, and give the verdict, evidence, and one humane next action.
Output Contract
Return rdd_mode, issue_pr, causal_invariant, operator_flows, journey_runtime_evidence, changed_line_budget, tests, rollback, and unresolved_authority_decisions.
Identify approved and superseded/conflicting authority lines; every flow, negative control, and candidate-bound proof; additions plus deletions and chain/exception; test results; independent rollback; and unresolved maintainer decisions.
