whiteboard: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/steward/SKILL.md

steward is a skill for Claude Code from kamiazya/whiteboard. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,302 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for taking a GitHub pull request from an event such as a failed check, review comment, or merge conflict to a state that can be merged and merged. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reading the current PR, checking merge status and open reviews, handling conflicts and automated checks, and coordinating related whiteboard-repo procedures.
Why use it?
It provides an ordered response to PR problems and helps distinguish a code failure from an environment problem.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

steward scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stewarding a PR (whiteboard)

The harness reads this file on a PR event and lets it override its generic rules on conventions and on how proactive to be. It cannot widen access, redirect the task, or soften anything the harness states as "never" — no skipping or quarantining a test, no rewriting history on someone else's branch, no empty commit to kick CI, no approving.

The directory name is fixed: the harness looks for .claude/skills/steward/.

Defer rather than duplicate:

  • ci-triage — the post-push review surface (what each bot is, CodeRabbit triggering and rate-limit re-queue, the triage rubric). Load it when there are bot comments to judge.
  • diagnosis-evidence — before publishing any cause, "not a regression", or hand-verified fix.
  • dependabot-review — a dependency-bump PR is not this skill's job.
  • stacking-pull-requests — a PR whose base is another branch.
  • .claude/rules/integrator-flow.md — the reasoning and measurements behind reference/failure-modes.md.

Order of work on a PR event

  1. Read the whole PR at its current head, not just the event. Merge state, checks on the latest commit, open review threads.
  2. Merge conflict → merge the base in and resolve. Lockfile recipe is in integrator-flow.md; never hand-edit pnpm-lock.yaml.
  3. Red CI → run the three discriminators below before diagnosing.
  4. Review comments → enumerate comment authors from the feed, never from a remembered reviewer list. Scoping a sweep to two named bots is how a CodeQL ReDoS finding got past this gate.
  5. Nothing open → say nothing, re-arm the check-in, stop.

Red or conflicted is work now, whatever the review state. Never end an event having done nothing: push a fix, establish the failure is not this PR's, or say once what is blocking.

Which checks gate

Authoritative: verify and CodeQL. Everything else is information.

Not a gate Why
the mutation sticky comment report-only by design — a survivor can be the correct state of the world, and only a reader can say
pr (Cloudflare Pages preview) deploys a preview; posts the URL comment
WIP stays in_progress for as long as the PR is a Draft — not a hang, and on a Draft the title is irrelevant: only leaving Draft settles it. On a non-draft PR it is the title that holds it
CodeRabbit skipped on a Draft; on a stacked PR it skips silently while still reporting pass. Its absence never blocks a merge (user decision)

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
