Why

A renamed or removed contract section or skill reaches every repository that relies on it, but the contributor rules did not say how to find those repositories before the change, so breaks surfaced late.

What

The blast-radius rule now points to the portfolio's consumer census, which lists every repository that uses a name, and says how to read a repository it could not search.

Part of devantler-tech/monorepo#4842

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Before a change to a shared surface, list its consumers with the monorepo's
consumer-census helper.

User trial at fdbc016a6336f1a60485c4a01cead0877958f170

I followed the new sentence as a contributor would: from a monorepo checkout at current main, I ran .claude/scripts/consumer-census.sh for a policy name (audit-privileged-rbac), the same command a skill or section name uses, limited to two submodules, one populated and one not.

  • It printed six HIT lines, each with the consumer's file:line, for the populated repository.
  • It printed UNKNOWN platform not populated for the other one, and its summary counted it as unknown=1, not as zero consumers. That matches what the sentence tells the reader.
  • The link in the sentence resolves to the helper on the monorepo's default branch.

Walkthrough

AGENTS.md now instructs agents to use consumer-census.sh when renaming or removing a contract section or skill. It explains that UNKNOWN means a repository was not searched, not that it has no consumers. It also directs agents to use git grep because the census does not search the monorepo.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review ece4d

This documentation update tells contributors how to find consumers of a renamed or removed contract section or skill. The census may still miss plugin installations that never name a skill, so contributors should treat the list as a lead, not a complete answer. The risk is low and does not block merge.

containing spaces are passed correctly.

include the monorepo root and its default-branch tree in the census, alongside
paths from .gitmodules. Report root consumers with file:line results and do not
treat an unsearched tree as having zero consumers.

Section names contain spaces, so the example quotes the argument. The census
does not search the monorepo itself yet (devantler-tech/monorepo#4917), so the
rule says to grep it as well.

Both findings were valid and are handled in ece4d5a1:

  • Quoting: the example now passes the name as one quoted argument and says why (section names contain spaces).
  • The monorepo itself is not searched: confirmed; the census reads only the submodules listed in .gitmodules. The helper lives in the monorepo, so the fix is tracked there as Include the monorepo itself in the consumer census monorepo#4917. Until it lands, the rule tells the reader to git grep the monorepo as well.

I followed the revised sentence from a monorepo checkout at current main, limited to two submodules (one populated, one not):

  • With a quoted name that contains a space, .claude/scripts/consumer-census.sh "Trust gate", the helper accepted it as one symbol and ended with: SUMMARY hits=0 repos-with-hits=0 none=1 archived=0 unknown=1. Unquoted, the same name is two arguments, which is why the sentence now quotes it.
  • The unpopulated repository was reported as UNKNOWN platform not populated, never as zero consumers.
  • The sentence's monorepo note is accurate: the helper reads only .gitmodules paths, and Include the monorepo itself in the consumer census monorepo#4917 tracks searching the monorepo itself.
  • Earlier, a policy name gave six HIT lines with file:line for the populated repository.

A repository can install a plugin without naming its bundled skills, so the
rule also runs the census for the owning plugin's install name.

User trial at 40caaa0befaeafcfc3943f6c95c518fe878cf867

The fix for the plugin-installation finding landed as 40caaa0b (rebased onto the automatic update from main; my thread reply named its pre-rebase hash f5e86b4). Reading the rule as a contributor at this head:

  • The census example is quoted, so a section name with a space is one symbol; I ran it that way earlier and the helper accepted it.
  • For a skill, the rule now also runs the census for its plugin's install name; agentic-engineering@devantler-plugins is the install name this repository's README gives.
  • The UNKNOWN and monorepo cautions are unchanged and still match the helper (it reads only .gitmodules submodules; Include the monorepo itself in the consumer census monorepo#4917).
  • The instruction-size check passes (27,930 of 32,768 bytes).
