What it does

Rigor Lane is an agent skill from rigortype/rigor. Implement one Rigor issue under a fixed architect LaneInput contract in a worktree, push, print head SHA, and stop. Do not CI-watch, run parallel host make verify, or burn the session on full corpus checks. Finish with Head SHA <sha — lane done or Blocked — need human.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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, covering Git worktrees. The repository describes itself as: Inference-first static analysis for Ruby. The licence is MPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git worktrees

Example prompts

  • “/rigor-lane”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Model: use the agent frontmatter / spawn model: (Flash registry id). Do
  2. Bundle: untracked .bundle/config → BUNDLE_PATH=/vendor/bundle
  3. Branch: git switch -c - before push (not pi-subagents/…)
  4. Issue truth: gh issue view --comments — LaneInput may lag maintainer rulings

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:

    • gh
    • make
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Lane loads about 752 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~752

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
Implement one Rigor issue under a fixed architect LaneInput contract in a worktree, push, print head SHA, and stop. Do not CI-watch, run parallel host make verify, or burn the session on full corpus checks. Finish with Head SHA <sha> — lane done or Blocked — need human.

Rigor lane (ADR-115)

Load and follow:

Hard constraints (always)

  • No parallel full-suite make verify on the host
  • Do not own long CI watchers / sleep-poll loops — push and stop
  • No full survey corpus check loops inside this session — timeout trap; record residual risk / leave measurement to orchestrator
  • Issues remain the backlog (consume the architect contract; do not file a parallel queue)
  • Do not pkill by pattern
  • Lint own .rb diffs with RuboCop --force-exclusion only
  • Prefer worktree isolation

Preflight (before first Ruby / gh)

  1. Model: use the agent frontmatter / spawn model: (Flash registry id). Do not assume deepseek/deepseek-flash exists.
  2. Bundle: untracked .bundle/config → BUNDLE_PATH=<main-repo>/vendor/bundle
  3. Branch: git switch -c <change-slug>-<issue> before push (not pi-subagents/…)
  4. Issue truth: gh issue view <n> --comments — LaneInput may lag maintainer rulings

Input

Consume a LaneInput from the architect (Acceptance, touch, must_not, worktree/branch). Do not invent policy outside that contract. If live tree or issue comments contradict the contract, escalate — do not silently widen scope.

Shared traps (from 2026-09-21 batch)

  • gh issue/pr create with backticks in a shell heredoc → command substitution; always --body-file
  • Changelog fragment only after PR number exists
  • Probe engine capability before writing an acceptance example that expects a diagnostic (e.g. non-nil + mismatch may be silent by design)
  • Plugin edges: use RSpec harness fixtures; bare probes often load nothing
  • Exact-text edit failures: pull exact lines (e.g. Python repr) before retry

Output

  1. Implement Acceptance with targeted local checks only.
  2. Open/update Draft PR with --body-file.
  3. Push the change-named branch.
  4. Print the tip SHA and stop (orchestrator / external poll owns CI).

LaneOutput shape:

text
LaneOutput:
  head_sha:        <40-hex>
  status:          "lane done" | "blocked"
  notes:           optional residual risk / wrong turns / corpus deferred
  pr_url:          optional

Finish phrases (exact)

  • Success: Head SHA <sha> — lane done (40-hex SHA)
  • Blocked: Blocked — need human

Model band: DeepSeek Flash-class (bound by scripts/run-role.sh / .pi/agents/rigor-lane.md).
