Repository Drift Control
Purpose
Prevent divergence between authoritative specification, operational prompts/templates, and repository-facing documentation.
When To Use
- •Use this skill when specification or governance files change.
- •Use this skill during repo-wide refactors affecting canonical paths or precedence rules.
- •Do not use this skill for isolated content edits without cross-artifact impact.
Required Inputs
- •Changed authoritative artifact(s), especially
specs/context_aware_ai_session_spec.md. - •Current canonical path map.
- •List of dependent files expected to be audited.
Workflow
- •Identify source-of-truth changes and affected dependency set.
- •Audit templates, prompts, samples, README, and AGENTS for alignment.
- •Apply consistent terminology and path references.
- •Verify policy and precedence remain coherent after updates.
- •Record drift-control outcomes in commit/PR summary.
Output Expectations
- •Aligned artifacts with no stale references.
- •Stable canonical paths and precedence documentation.
- •Clear audit trail of what was updated and why.
Resources
- •Governance contract:
../../AGENTS.md - •Repository guide:
../../README.md - •Authoritative model:
../../specs/context_aware_ai_session_spec.md
Constraints And Safety
- •Treat specification as authoritative when conflicts exist.
- •Keep guidance provider-neutral.
- •Preserve canonical path stability unless explicitly migrating.
- •Avoid partial updates that leave dependent artifacts inconsistent.
