What it does

Rigor Baseline Reduce is an agent skill from rigortype/rigor. Reduce an existing .rigor-baseline.yml rule by rule by triaging sites, fixing or intentionally suppressing them, and regenerating the baseline. Use for baseline diagnostics already acknowledged by a project; not for first-time setup or plugin authoring.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/01-classify.md` and `references/02-fix-or-suppress.md`).

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

  • Baseline diagnostics already acknowledged by a project
  • Not for first-time setup
  • Plugin authoring

Example prompts

  • “/rigor-baseline-reduce”

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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 Baseline Reduce loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 647 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4k

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.

Rigor Baseline Reduce

Opportunistic, session-bounded quality improvement for a project that already has a .rigor-baseline.yml. Each session picks a rule, walks its sites, and lands a mix of fixes, intentional suppressions, and issue reports — then refreshes the baseline so the gains stick.

This skill is for users improving their own project. It uses the published rigor executable on PATH and references only public CLI flags and config keys.

First: load the version-current copy

The step-by-step commands live in this skill's references/ files, and their exact flags drift between Rigor releases — so follow the copy that ships with the installed Rigor rather than any vendored or frozen copy of this file. Get the complete current procedure in one call:

sh
rigor skill --full rigor-baseline-reduce   # this body + all its references/, inline

If you already loaded this skill via rigor skill you have the current copy — just proceed (read any references/NN-*.md from the directory the header names). If rigor is not on PATH, this task needs it: run rigor-next-steps to install Rigor first, then come back.

Phase 0 — When to use this skill

Precondition: the project is in acknowledge mode. This skill operates on a .rigor-baseline.yml that .rigor.yml / .rigor.dist.yml declares via baseline:. A strict-mode project (severity_profile: strict, no baseline) has nothing for this skill to reduce — its diagnostics are already all live; fix them as ordinary rigor check output. If no baseline exists, the user wants rigor-project-init, not this skill.

Do NOT trigger for:

  • First-time onboarding — no .rigor.yml yet → rigor-project-init.
  • Writing a plugin for the project's DSL → rigor-plugin-author.

What baseline reduction is

.rigor-baseline.yml records (file, rule, count) buckets — the diagnostics that existed when the project adopted Rigor. They are suppressed while their count holds. Reduction means: go through them deliberately, decide what each one really is, and shrink the file. Three outcomes per site:

  • Real bug — Rigor caught a genuine defect. Fix the code.
  • Stylistic / safe — the static reading is worst-case-sound but the site is fine in practice (an idiom the analyzer's narrowing doesn't follow, a slot the project always initialises). Mark it # rigor:disable <rule> with intent.
  • False positive — Rigor is wrong; the rule should narrow further. Leave it baselined and open a Rigor issue.

Shrinking the baseline is progress whichever outcome applies — the file gets smaller, and "reduce the baseline by N this sprint" is a trackable goal.

Phase outline

PhaseWhatReference
1Prioritise — rigor triage --format json + rigor baseline dump pick the rule to work.references/01-classify.md
2Per rule: sample 3–5 sites, classify each (real bug / stylistic / FP).references/01-classify.md
3Act — fix, # rigor:disable, or open a Rigor issue.references/02-fix-or-suppress.md
4Refresh — rigor baseline drift, then rigor baseline regenerate.references/02-fix-or-suppress.md

Phases 2–4 repeat per rule until a stop condition (below) fires.

Reading order — modules

ModuleReadCovers
1references/01-classify.mdPhases 1–2. Priority order from the rigor triage hints + ascending bucket count. The sample-and-classify protocol; the three-way real-bug / stylistic / FP triage and how to tell them apart.
2references/02-fix-or-suppress.mdPhases 3–4. Acting on each classification — fix patterns, # rigor:disable placement (per-line vs per-file), FP escalation as a Rigor GitHub issue. Refreshing the baseline with drift + regenerate.

Stop conditions

End the session — do not grind indefinitely — when any of these hit:

  • The user signals halt.
  • The next rule's site count exceeds the session budget (default: ~20 sites). A 200-site rule is systemic; escalate it as a decision (below), do not walk it site by site.
  • A wall-time budget is reached (default: ~60 minutes).

Always finish with Phase 4 (refresh the baseline) before stopping, so the landed work is recorded.

Decision points to escalate to the user

  • "This rule has 200 sites across 14 files — it looks systemic. A plugin or an engine fix would clear them in bulk; want me to investigate that instead of walking sites one by one?"
  • "This file's diagnostics would be cleaner under one per-file # rigor:disable-file <rule> than 30 per-line comments — switch?"
  • "The diagnostic wording changed between Rigor versions and the baseline no longer matches cleanly — regenerate now?"
