## What it does

RPI coordinates `plan`, `implement`, and `validate` skills in a single native pass using the local coding agent and shell. Following design-by-contract practices, it stops the agent from endlessly refining plans. Once an implementer can act and tests can judge the change, work moves straight to code. Ordinary test failures are repaired directly without spinning up extra planning phases.

An isolated review pass via `Validate` happens strictly once and only for high-stakes modifications: public releases, security boundaries, deleting protective checks, or irreversible data actions. The skill refuses to turn adjacent opportunities into scope creep without explicit authorization. When facing causal stalls like recurring failures or zero progress, it allows at most one helper before halting with an `rpi-report.v1` artifact.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add boshu2/agentops --skill rpi -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add boshu2/agentops --skill rpi -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add boshu2/agentops --skill rpi -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install boshu2/agentops rpi
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add boshu2/agentops --skill rpi -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/boshu2/agentops --path skills/rpi
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add boshu2/agentops --skill rpi -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/boshu2/agentops/tree/HEAD/skills/rpi/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- drive an accepted change from implementation to final checks
- cap code review at a single round during high-cost changes
- prevent iterative planning loops when tests fail
- produce machine-readable evidence in `rpi-report.v1`

## Example prompts
- Drive the approved authentication bugfix through RPI
- Orchestrate this database migration task using the rpi skill

# RPI

Own the authorized outcome through finish. RPI (research, plan, implement) is
one native pass, not fixed phases: use the native coding agent and shell.
BD or the caller's tracker owns work and handoffs; Git owns content and
delivery. AgentOps supplies a small charter and one fresh judgment where a
mistake is costly, not a scheduler.

## Operating charter

1. Use the existing accepted outcome, scope and real bounds. A clear change
   needs no Plan, Recall or Learn worksheet. Resolve uncertainty only when it
   could change the implementation or acceptance decision.
2. Take the smallest acceptance-advancing action. [Plan](../plan/SKILL.md)
   shapes missing intent or revises a disproved approach. Once an implementer
   can act and a validator can judge, implement; do not keep improving the plan.
   Approach revisions preserve acceptance and authorized scope.
   Acceptance changes need caller authority.
3. [Implement](../implement/SKILL.md) and repair ordinary known defects directly.
   A known test failure needs a fix and a discriminating check, not another
   planning phase, council or helper.
4. Use focused checks during edits and complete required integration checks
   before finishing. Reuse a check result only while its inputs are unchanged;
   rerun affected checks after changes. Reserve capacity for integration and
   repair. Keep a subject unchanged while it is being judged.
5. Spend validation where a mistake is costly. For an ordinary change the
   checks and CI are the gate: finish. Obtain [Validate](../validate/SKILL.md)
   from one fresh author-distinct context only when the caller asks, when a
   mistake cannot be cheaply undone after it lands (a published release or
   instructions users will follow, a security boundary, destroying data or
   tracker state, deleting a check that protects the product), or when no
   deterministic check covers the changed behavior. Use the author's model
   family unless the caller selects additional legs; explicitly required
   reviewers remain required.
6. One round. Give the validator the accepted criteria, the exact subject and
   one question written before it starts, never the author's confidence or
   desired verdict; it does not re-run the checks. Repair what fails the
   accepted behavior or would mislead a user, break install or the CLI, or
```
