Turns cycle history into a Gantt chart and outcome distribution. Use it to inspect cycles and narrow the view by date or cycle class.

## What it does

The skill reads `.claude/canvas/cycle-history.yml` and produces a Gantt chart, an outcome pie chart, or both. Output can be Mermaid, ASCII, or JSON; filters select a start date and cycle class. It only renders existing data. Other Mycelium commands record cycle outcomes.

Before rendering, it checks names and references against the attribution registry. It looks for `$MYCELIUM_ATTRIBUTION_REGISTRY` first, then `.claude/memory/attribution-registry.yml`. Consent settings determine whether names stay visible or become anonymous labels; `--no-identifiers` redacts every name. External-audience rendering stops when the registry is missing, so confirm that file is available before using that audience setting.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill cycle-render -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cycle-render/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cycle-render/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill cycle-render -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cycle-render/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill cycle-render -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cycle-render/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install haabe/mycelium cycle-render
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cycle-render/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill cycle-render -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/haabe/mycelium --path plugins/mycelium/skills/cycle-render
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cycle-render/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill cycle-render -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/haabe/mycelium/tree/HEAD/plugins/mycelium/skills/cycle-render/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- visualize cycle history as a Gantt chart
- inspect the distribution of cycle outcomes
- filter cycles by start date
- show cycles from a chosen class
- redact participant names in rendered output

## Example prompts
- Render `.claude/canvas/cycle-history.yml` as a Mermaid Gantt chart.
- Show cycles starting after `2025-01-01` in ASCII, with the outcome chart.
- Return JSON for `observation` cycles and redact all names.

# Cycle Render

Read-only render of `.claude/canvas/cycle-history.yml` as gantt + pie + (optionally) json. Third specialist in the render fleet. See `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/engine/render-conventions.md` for shared conventions.

## When NOT to use

- For cross-cutting opportunity→solution→cycle traceability view → dispatcher's `/mycelium:render --view traceability` (deferred to Phase 4a–4d research-first methodology).
- To RECORD a new cycle outcome → `/mycelium:retrospective`, `/mycelium:ice-score` (on discard), or `/mycelium:launch-tier` (on launch). This skill is read-only.
- For framework-health full assessment → `/mycelium:framework-health`. cycle-render emits one visualization piece; framework-health is the broader audit.

## Identifier exposure

**Declared**: YES

### Scope (canvas surfaces touched)

| Canvas file | Identifier-bearing fields | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| `.claude/canvas/cycle-history.yml` | `learnings.process` prose; `learnings.framework` prose; `related_corrections` references | mid (cohort-related observation cycles directly reference participants) |
| `$MYCELIUM_ATTRIBUTION_REGISTRY` env var (canonical) or `.claude/memory/attribution-registry.yml` (fallback) | `people:` block with `name`+`consent`+`note` per entry | read-only consultation; never rendered |

### Rationale

Cycle history is reflection-shaped: `learnings.process` is prose-heavy and often names testers whose feedback drove the cycle (e.g., a cycle entry with `leaf_id: ht-014-alex-first-week-observation` carries an identifier in the leaf_id itself). Identifier exposure is structural to the learnings narrative, not incidental. Consent state for named cohort testers can shift over time per the consent-state-change-skip cluster (anti-pattern #7 sub-shape #15) — cycle-render re-consults the registry on every invocation, never caches.

### Anon-label convention

Per `engine/render-conventions.md#anon-label-convention`. Numbering shared across the render-fleet session (cohort-tester-N in cycle-003 IS cohort-tester-N in opp-004 evidence if both rendered in one session).

In gantt output, anon labels appear in `section` names and task IDs. In ascii output, in chronological listings. In json output, in `learnings_process` strings AND a parallel `identifier_map` field for auditability.

### Consent value semantics
