From f388ed67b7912e557f6a03fc0be7a716a2b130d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:38:46 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat: wire question-tuning into preamble for tier >= 2 skills MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts — adds two things: 1. _QUESTION_TUNING config echo in the preamble bash block, gated on the user's gstack-config `question_tuning` value (default: false). 2. A combined Question Tuning section for tier >= 2 skills, injected after the confusion protocol. The section itself is runtime-gated by the QUESTION_TUNING value — agents skip it entirely when off. scripts/resolvers/question-tuning.ts — consolidated into one compact combined section `generateQuestionTuning(ctx)` covering: preference check before the question, log after, and inline tune: feedback with user-origin gate. Per-phase generators remain exported for unit tests but are no longer the main entrypoint. Size impact: +570 tokens / +2.3KB per tier-2+ SKILL.md. Three skills (plan-ceo-review, office-hours, ship) still exceed the 100KB token ceiling — but they were already over before this change. Delta is the smallest viable wiring of the /plan-tune v1 substrate. Golden fixtures (test/fixtures/golden/claude-ship, codex-ship, factory-ship) regenerated to match the new baseline. Full test run: 1149 pass, 0 fail, 113 skip across 28 files.
