   Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
   Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

   Size: Large
   Complexity: Medium
   Uncertainty: Knowable
   Flags: none
   Blocked by: none

   Understood: one draft PR that rewrites the ten docs-hygiene skills to the skill criteria, following the playbooks rewrite-a-plugin runbook. It needs a per-skill decision table, and every shipped description and body change needs a measured eval pass. Any unmeasured skill gets named in the PR with its reason. The agent definition stays unchanged unless the #6476 agent pilot has landed.

   Nothing is missing, and I found no likely duplicates. The eval runs use the subscription login. They can't run in the issue lane, so an eval session has to run them.

   Hold: the owner decision on #6476 (2026-10-18) puts this plugin in batch 2, which runs in a dedicated attended eval session, two plugins at a time, under a per-pass cost ceiling. It is not work for an unattended lane.

   Parked (owner decision 2026-10-21): no eval spend until #7719 resumes hardening. This stays open and resumes then.

    Not admitted to the issue lane yet: Size large: the split into sub-issues at intake is pending (owner Q93).

    The latest triage verdict holds nothing: the issue is at status: ready.

    Refinement. A read-only run explored this repository, searched its issues and pull requests, and read the allowed docs to draft what follows. On an issue a listed human filed, it counts as the issue's spec once posted, while unedited; it is still model text, so check it.

    Intended outcome: All 10 docs-hygiene skills are rewritten to the skill criteria in one draft PR with a per-skill decision table and measured descriptions and bodies.

    Dependencies

    • #​6476 umbrella: batch 2 runs in an attended eval session, per its 2026-10-18 owner decision
    • #​7719: owner parked eval spend until hardening resumes (2026-10-21)

    Related work

    • feat(code-tidying): concise skill text measured by evals, plus outcome cases for five skills #6539 (related): Merged-style precedent PR for a plugin rewrite (code-tidying); closed, not a duplicate.
    • feat(harness-ops): concise skill text measured by evals, plus outcome cases and probes #7434 (related): Precedent PR for a plugin rewrite (harness-ops).

    Open questions

    1. Should this issue stay held until #​7719 resumes hardening and the owner approves the /evals:plugin-eval spend, rather than being picked up by an unattended lane?
       RECOMMENDED: Yes, keep it parked and out of the unattended lane until both happen. Basis: Owner comments of 2026-10-19 and 2026-10-22 on this issue
    2. Should the body gain a task list of checkable criteria, such as a decision-table row per skill and named unmeasured skills, so the issue can be admitted once it is unparked?
       RECOMMENDED: Yes. Add one item per skill (10), a decision-table item and an unmeasured-skills item, and move eval-spend approval and draft-PR review into the person-only items. Basis: judgment
    3. Is the docs-hygiene agent definition in scope for this pass?
       RECOMMENDED: No. Exclude it unless the umbrella's agent pilot has landed. Basis: Issue body, 'The plugin today' section

    Sources read

    • plugins/docs-hygiene/skills/*/SKILL.md: the plugin has 10 skills (audit-derivability, audit-encapsulation, audit-noise, audit-progressive-disclosure, compress, extract-ssot, rename-references, setup, write-for-agents, write-for-humans), matching the issue body

    Unparked by the owner's HITL session (2026-10-24): the owner's rule is that nothing stays parked unless it is unclear intent, a changed direction, a high security risk or an induced cost, and this hold was none of those.

    The runs use the eval lane's MAINTENANCE role (.github/lane-funding.json, role maintenance: keyed: false, MAINTENANCE_CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, a flat-fee subscription) or a local run on the operator machine's subscription; neither charges an auto-renewing key or a metered bill. The issue lane cannot run evals, so this goes to the eval session, not the lane.

    Releasing the hold: no owner question is open. The refinement asked about eval spend or who runs the eval. Owner rules settle both. Evals run on the subscription login or not at all, never with an API key, and none start while the rate limit is near (Q110). Subscription and prepaid spend are not induced cost (Q46, Q91). Under the owner's 2026-10-26 stop rule (C14), an eval or host run is no longer an owner step, so an agent session runs it. The label comes off and intake triage runs again. Criteria:

    • One PR rewrites the docs-hygiene skills to the skill criteria per plugins/playbooks/skills/skill-authoring/reference/rewrite-a-plugin.md, with a per-skill decision table in its body.
    • Every shipped description and body change is backed by a valid /evals:plugin-eval measured pass run on the subscription.
    • Any skill left unmeasured is named in the PR with its reason.
    • The agent definition is unchanged unless the Concise skills: one skill-creation standard, evals, and a fleet-wide rollout #6476 agent pilot has landed.
