## What it does

The skill reviews three Mycelium loops: immediate, incremental, and strategic. It checks for repeated corrections and stalled progress, evaluates parked work and its resume conditions, and finds reviews that are due according to the project schedule. The report helps locate stalled work and declining metrics.

For the strategic review, it runs `review_schedule.py` and reads trend data from canvas files. Before writing to `.claude/canvas/*.yml`, it requires a Read of the target file; before assigning an ID, it scans for IDs already in use. This skill is designed for the Mycelium framework. Used on its own, it skips canvas state, theory gates, and harness behavior that it assumes.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install haabe/mycelium feedback-review
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill feedback-review -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/feedback-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check the health of feedback loops
- find reviews that are past their scheduled date
- spot declining metrics and regressions
- check whether parked work can resume

## Example prompts
- Review the Mycelium feedback loops and point out any stalled areas.
- Find overdue reviews and report their cadence and last run.
- Check parked diamonds and identify any resume conditions that now hold.

# Feedback Review

Single-place health check across all Mycelium feedback loops. Run periodically or when something feels off.

## Preflight: Read target canvas file(s) before any Write/Edit

**Hard rule.** Before issuing `Write` or `Edit` against any `.claude/canvas/*.yml`, use the **Read tool** on that file in this session. Claude Code's Read-before-Write check requires the `Read` tool specifically — `cat`/`head`/`grep` via Bash do NOT satisfy it.

**Edit vs Write — different cost profiles** (verified 2026-05-14):
- **`Edit`** (exact-string replacement): `Read` with `limit: 1` satisfies the check at ~50 tokens. State-tracking is per-file, not per-byte — subsequent `Edit` calls work anywhere in the file. Use this for partial updates against large canvas files (e.g., `purpose.yml` at 800+ lines).
- **`Write`** (full replacement): do a **full Read** first. Write obliterates the file; you should see what you're about to replace. The `limit:1` shortcut is *not* appropriate here.

**ID-bearing entries — scan the ID space before assigning** (added 2026-05-15, v0.23.19): When adding a new component, opportunity, solution, or any other ID-bearing entry to a canvas file, run a Bash grep first to confirm the next ID in your prefix sequence is actually free:

```
grep -o "<prefix>-[0-9][0-9]*" .claude/canvas/<file>.yml | sort -u -t- -k2 -n | tail -3
```

Replace `<prefix>` with the canvas's ID prefix (`comp` for landscape, `opp` for opportunities, `sol` for solutions, `ht` for human-tasks, etc.). Then pick the next free integer, **matching the zero-padding already used in that file**. The sort is NUMERIC (`-t- -k2 -n`) rather than lexical, and that is not pedantry: a plain `sort -u` orders `ht-1` after `ht-080`, so on a canvas with inconsistent padding it reports the wrong maximum and the next ID collides. Verified on the dogfood repo 2026-08-13, where lexical sort returned `ht-1` as the highest human-task ID against an actual `ht-080`. `grep -o` is also deliberate: it matches IDs wherever they appear, including cross-references and prose, so an ID that was promised somewhere but not yet defined is not handed out twice. `validate_canvas.py` has a per-file duplicate-ID check (it reports `duplicate id '<id>'`) that catches the failure on CI, but a duplicate can persist in the working tree for days if CI isn't run between edit and discovery; that happened on 2026-05-15, when a duplicate ID was created in `landscape.yml`.
