docs(skills,agents): require clickable PR/<tracker> refs on every surface
(#364)
Whenever a skill or any framework doc emits a PR / <tracker> /
<upstream> reference, the reference must be one click away in
whatever surface it lands on. Bare `#NNN` with no link wrapper
of any kind is never acceptable.
== What changes ==
AGENTS.md § "Linking tracker issues and PRs" was markdown-only.
Restructure it into three subsections:
- "On markdown surfaces" — keeps the existing `[text](URL)` form
for tracker comments, PR / issue bodies, README files, draft
email text, SKILL.md files.
- "On terminal surfaces" — new. CLI proposal previews, drill-in
screens, hand-back artefacts, recap output, session summaries
use OSC 8 hyperlink escape sequences
(`\e]8;;<URL>\e\\<short>\e]8;;\e\\`) so modern terminals
(iTerm2, Kitty, GNOME Terminal, WezTerm, Windows Terminal,
Alacritty, …) render the visible short form as clickable.
Includes Python + Bash helper snippets and the OSC 8-unsupported
fallback (print bare URL after the number).
- "Confidentiality" and "Editing rules" — pre-existing content,
pulled under their own subheads. Self-check pattern updated to
recognise OSC 8 wrappers as already-clickable.
Per-skill Golden rules: 10 skills had no explicit rule on the
topic; add one. 3 skills had a markdown-only rule (issue-triage,
security-issue-triage, security-issue-sync — the canonical
formulation); broaden them to cover the dual-surface convention.
security-cve-allocate references security-issue-sync's GR2 and
auto-picks up the update.
Per-skill scope:
- pr-management-triage — GR 10 (was missing).
- issue-triage — broaden existing GR 5.
- issue-fix-workflow — GR 8 (was missing).
- issue-reassess — GR 8 (was missing).
- issue-reproducer — GR 9 (was missing).
- security-issue-triage — broaden existing GR 5.
- security-issue-sync — broaden the canonical GR 2.
- security-issue-import — Golden rule (was missing).
- security-issue-import-from-md — Golden rule (was missing).
- security-issue-import-from-pr — Golden rule (was missing).
- security-issue-fix — Golden rule (was missing), with explicit
cross-confidentiality reminder: clickable rendering does not
relax the existing scrub that forbids the <tracker> URL from
appearing in <upstream> PR content.
- security-issue-invalidate — Golden rule (was missing).
- security-issue-deduplicate — Golden rule (was missing).
== Why ==
OSC 8 hyperlinks let terminal output stay compact (the visible
text is the short <repo>#NNN form) while clicking opens the full
URL. The prior rule required either markdown (only renders on
GitHub) or printing the URL inline alongside the number (noisy
in proposal previews). The dual-surface formulation makes the
right choice per surface explicit.
== Verification ==
skill-and-tool-validate exits 0; no hard violations.
