feat: mode-posture energy fix for /plan-ceo-review and /office-hours (v1.1.2.0) (#1065)
* feat: restore mode-posture energy to expansion + forcing + builder output
Rewrites Writing Style rule 2-4 examples in scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts
to cover three framing families (pain reduction, upside/delight, forcing
pressure) instead of diagnostic-pain only. Adds inline exemplars to
plan-ceo-review (0D-prelude shared between SCOPE + SELECTIVE EXPANSION)
and office-hours (Q3 forcing exemplar with career/day/weekend domain
gating, builder operating principles wild exemplar).
V1 shipped rule 2-4 examples that all pointed to diagnostic-pain framing
("3-second spinner", "double-click button"). Models follow concrete
examples over abstract taxonomies, so any skill with a non-diagnostic
mode posture (expansion, forcing, delight) got flattened at runtime
even when the template itself said "dream big" or "direct to the point
of discomfort." This change targets the actual lever: swap the single
diagnostic example for three paired framings, one per posture family.
Preserves V1 clarity gains — rules 2, 3, 4 principles unchanged, only
examples expanded. Terse mode (EXPLAIN_LEVEL: terse) still skips the
block entirely.
* chore: regenerate SKILL.md after preamble + template changes
Mechanical cascade from `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all` after the
Writing Style rule 2-4 example rewrite and the plan-ceo-review /
office-hours template exemplar additions. No hand edits — every change
flows from the prior commit's templates.
* test: add gate-tier mode-posture regression tests
Three gate-tier E2E tests detect when preamble / template changes
flatten the distinctive posture of /plan-ceo-review SCOPE EXPANSION or
/office-hours (startup Q3, builder mode). The V1 regression that this
PR fixes shipped without anyone catching it at ship time — this is the
ongoing signal so the same thing doesn't happen again.
Pieces:
- `judgePosture(mode, text)` in `test/helpers/llm-judge.ts`. Sonnet
judge with mode-specific dual-axis rubric (expansion: surface_framing
+ decision_preservation; forcing: stacking_preserved +
domain_matched_consequence; builder: unexpected_combinations +
excitement_over_optimization). Pass threshold 4/5 on both axes.
- Three fixtures in `test/fixtures/mode-posture/` — deterministic input
for expansion proposal generation, Q3 forcing question, and builder
adjacent-unlock riffing.
- `plan-ceo-review-expansion-energy` case appended to
`test/skill-e2e-plan.test.ts`. Generator: Opus (skill default). Judge:
Sonnet.
- New `test/skill-e2e-office-hours.test.ts` with
`office-hours-forcing-energy` + `office-hours-builder-wildness`
cases. Generator: Sonnet. Judge: Sonnet.
- Touchfile registration in `test/helpers/touchfiles.ts` — all three as
`gate` tier in `E2E_TIERS`, triggered by changes to
`scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts`, the relevant skill template, the
judge helper, or any mode-posture fixture.
Cost: ~$0.50-$1.50 per triggered PR. Sonnet judge is cheap; Opus
generator for the plan-ceo-review case dominates.
Known V1.1 tradeoff: judges test prose markers more than deep behavior.
V1.2 candidate is a cross-provider (Codex) adversarial judge on the
same output to decouple house-style bias.
* test: update golden ship baselines + touchfile count for mode-posture entries
Mechanical test updates after the mode-posture work:
- Golden ship SKILL.md baselines (claude + codex + factory hosts) regenerate with
the rewritten Writing Style rule 2-4 examples from preamble.ts.
- Touchfile selection test expects 6 matches for a plan-ceo-review/ change (was 5)
because E2E_TOUCHFILES now includes plan-ceo-review-expansion-energy.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.1.2.0)

These rules apply to every AskUserQuestion, every response you write to the user, and every review finding. They compose with the AskUserQuestion Format section above: Format = *how* a question is structured; Writing Style = *the prose quality of the content inside it*.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Jargon gets a one-sentence gloss on first use per skill invocation.** Even if the user's own prompt already contained the term — users often paste jargon from someone else's plan. Gloss unconditionally on first use. No cross-invocation memory: a new skill fire is a new first-use opportunity. Example: "race condition (two things happen at the same time and step on each other)".
|
||||
2. **Frame questions in outcome terms, not implementation terms.** Bad: "Is this endpoint idempotent?" Good: "If someone double-clicks the button, is it OK for the action to run twice?" Ask the question the user would actually want to answer.
|
||||
3. **Short sentences. Concrete nouns. Active voice.** Standard advice from any good writing guide. Prefer "the cache stores the result for 60s" over "results will have been cached for a period of 60s."
|
||||
4. **Close every decision with user impact.** Connect the technical call back to who's affected. "If we skip this, your users will see a 3-second spinner on every page load." Make the user's user real.
|
||||
2. **Frame questions in outcome terms, not implementation terms.** Ask the question the user would actually want to answer. Outcome framing covers three families — match the framing to the mode:
|
||||
- **Pain reduction** (default for diagnostic / HOLD SCOPE / rigor review): "If someone double-clicks the button, is it OK for the action to run twice?" (instead of "Is this endpoint idempotent?")
|
||||
- **Upside / delight** (for expansion / builder / vision contexts): "When the workflow finishes, does the user see the result instantly, or are they still refreshing a dashboard?" (instead of "Should we add webhook notifications?")
|
||||
- **Interrogative pressure** (for forcing-question / founder-challenge contexts): "Can you name the actual person whose career gets better if this ships and whose career gets worse if it doesn't?" (instead of "Who's the target user?")
|
||||
3. **Short sentences. Concrete nouns. Active voice.** Standard advice from any good writing guide. Prefer "the cache stores the result for 60s" over "results will have been cached for a period of 60s." *Exception:* stacked, multi-part questions are a legitimate forcing device — "Title? Gets them promoted? Gets them fired? Keeps them up at night?" is longer than one short sentence, and it should be, because the pressure IS in the stacking. Don't collapse a stack into a single neutral ask when the skill's posture is forcing.
|
||||
4. **Close every decision with user impact.** Connect the technical call back to who's affected. Make the user's user real. Impact has three shapes — again, match the mode:
|
||||
- **Pain avoided:** "If we skip this, your users will see a 3-second spinner on every page load."
|
||||
- **Capability unlocked:** "If we ship this, users get instant feedback the moment a workflow finishes — no tabs to refresh, no polling."
|
||||
- **Consequence named** (for forcing questions): "If you can't name the person whose career this helps, you don't know who you're building for — and 'users' isn't an answer."
|
||||
5. **User-turn override.** If the user's current message says "be terse" / "no explanations" / "brutally honest, just the answer" / similar, skip this entire Writing Style block for your next response, regardless of config. User's in-turn request wins.
|
||||
6. **Glossary boundary is the curated list.** Terms below get glossed. Terms not on the list are assumed plain-English enough. If you see a term that genuinely needs glossing but isn't listed, note it (once) in your response so it can be added via PR.
