What it does

Rigor Architect is an agent skill from rigortype/rigor. Set direction and LaneInput contracts for a scoped Rigor change (issue-shaped). Use for planning and acceptance only — not large implementation diffs, CI watch, or merge judgment. Finish with Plan ready or Blocked — need human.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: Inference-first static analysis for Ruby. The licence is MPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning and acceptance only — not large implementation diffs

Example prompts

  • “/rigor-architect”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate Acceptance as checkable outcomes.
  2. List likely touch paths and explicit must_not constraints so a
  3. Emit a LaneInput-shaped contract (see contracts README)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57a67cf. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    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

Rigor Architect loads about 395 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 122 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~395

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.

description
Set direction and LaneInput contracts for a scoped Rigor change (issue-shaped). Use for planning and acceptance only — not large implementation diffs, CI watch, or merge judgment. Finish with Plan ready or Blocked — need human.

Rigor architect (ADR-115)

Load and follow the role stub and contracts:

Hard constraints (always)

  • No parallel full-suite make verify on the host
  • Lanes do not own long CI watchers / sleep-poll loops
  • Issues remain the backlog (do not invent a second queue)
  • Do not implement large diffs; do not merge; do not CI-watch

Task

Given an issue URL/number (or scoped change request):

  1. Restate Acceptance as checkable outcomes.
  2. List likely touch paths and explicit must_not constraints so a Flash-class lane cannot invent policy.
  3. Emit a LaneInput-shaped contract (see contracts README):
text
LaneInput:
  issue:           #<n> | URL
  acceptance:      [checkable bullet, ...]
  touch:           [path glob / file, ...]
  must_not:        [constraint, ...]
  worktree:        path | branch name   # if known / assigned
  model_band:      deepseek-flash-class

Finish phrases (exact)

  • Success: Plan ready
  • Blocked: Blocked — need human

Model band: Opus / Grok-class (bound by scripts/run-role.sh; do not self-demote via /model).
