From 604a5f7a5903d5288d604d876c8298eaa50e66e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakob Heuser Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 15:47:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/13] docs(openspec): Add proposal for onboard command Add the add-onboard-command change: proposal, design doc, and five spec deltas covering a new cli-onboard capability plus modifications to cli-help, cli-init, cli-taskless-bootstrap, and skill-taskless. The change introduces a post-install onboarding flow: a thin CLI gate (taskless onboard with --force and --mark-complete) that delivers a conversational, agent-executed recipe for first-pass rule discovery. Tracks completion via a 3-state install.onboarded field that only the agent writes after explicit user confirmation. Widens the skill trigger to volunteer Taskless quietly when the user wants to add a rule and hasn't named another tool.

There is no path between "installed" and "actively producing rules from real codebase signal" — first-time users typically don't know what kinds of rules Taskless is well-suited to capture, what sources to mine for candidates, or how to prioritize them. + +Onboarding is intrinsically agent work: it requires reading the codebase, parsing AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/.cursorrules style documents, optionally probing GitHub PR comments via `gh`, optionally querying a Linear/Jira MCP, and synthesizing a prioritized list of _hypothetical_ rules that the user can choose to materialize. The CLI cannot do any of that itself — it has no LLM. So `onboard` follows the same shape as the other ex-skill recipes: a thin CLI surface that gates on state and delivers a recipe the host agent executes. + +The change also reverses a deliberate prior decision: the current `skill-taskless` description explicitly tells the agent _not_ to trigger on generic linting or rule requests. The new design widens the trigger to volunteer Taskless quietly when the user wants to add a rule and has not named another tool. This is intentional but it carries a real reputation cost if it manifests as advertising rather than helpfulness, so the design is opinionated about _how_ the volunteering shows up. + +## Goals / Non-Goals + +**Goals:** + +- Provide a `taskless onboard` subcommand with a help topic that delivers a conversational, agent-executed recipe for first-pass rule discovery. +- Track onboarding state in `.taskless/taskless.json` via an `onboarded` field that the agent writes only after explicit user confirmation. +- Expand the `taskless` skill so it volunteers Taskless on rule requests where no other tool is named. +- Degrade gracefully when external tools (`gh`, MCPs) are absent — onboarding must produce value with only codebase + agent-memory files. +- Keep the always-loaded skill surface small (description + body together stay within the existing constraints). + +**Non-Goals:** + +- This change does NOT introduce automated rule generation. The recipe surfaces _suggestions_ as bullet points; the user (with the agent's help) chooses which to materialize via the existing `/tskl create rule` flow. +- This change does NOT add any persistent decline state. A user who declines the proactive suggestion in a conversation is not remembered across conversations. +- This change does NOT modify any existing recipe content (check, rule create/improve/delete, auth, ci, init). Those topics are unchanged. +- This change does NOT introduce a separate slash command. Routing is via the existing `/tskl` consolidated command + the new `onboard` topic in the skill router. +- This change does NOT enumerate every linter on earth in the trigger description; the description uses spirit-of-the-rule wording with four anchor examples. + +## Decisions + +### Decision 1: Recipe lives in `help/onboard.txt`; CLI surface is a thin gate + +`taskless onboard` is implemented as a small subcommand handler that: + +1. Reads `.taskless/taskless.json` (bootstrapping the directory if absent). +2. If `onboarded === true` and `--force` is not set, prints "Already onboarded; pass --force to redo" and exits 0. +3. Otherwise, prints the contents of `onboard.txt` (the recipe) to stdout and exits 0. + +A `--mark-complete` flag (mutually exclusive with the default mode) writes `onboarded: true` to the manifest and exits 0. The recipe instructs the agent to invoke `taskless onboard --mark-complete` only after the user has explicitly confirmed they're done. + +**Why not just `taskless help onboard`?** + +Two reasons. First, `taskless help ` is a generic recipe-printer with no awareness of state — it would print the recipe regardless of whether the user is already onboarded. Putting the gate in a dedicated subcommand keeps the help surface generic and the gating logic in one place. Second, the `--mark-complete` write needs _some_ CLI surface; bundling it under `taskless onboard` keeps the verb's surface area cohesive ("everything you can do about onboarding lives here"). + +`taskless help onboard` SHALL still work and SHALL still print the same recipe content — there's no special variant. The CLI subcommand and the help topic share the embedded text. + +**Alternatives considered:** + +- Put the gate logic inside the recipe (agent reads `taskless.json` itself). Rejected: forces every host agent to re-implement gate logic; deterministic state checks belong in the CLI. +- Make the agent edit `taskless.json` directly to mark onboarded. Rejected: write logic spreads across CLI and agent; harder to evolve the schema; harder to test. + +### Decision 2: `onboarded` is a 3-state optional boolean field + +The `taskless.json` `install` object gains an optional `onboarded?: boolean` field with three meaningful states: + +| Value | Meaning | When the gate fires | +| ------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | +| absent | Never explicitly onboarded (post-install default) | Recipe runs | +| `false` | Explicitly declined or reset | Recipe runs | +| `true` | User confirmed they're done | Recipe refused unless `--force` | + +The bootstrap install (`taskless init`) does NOT set this field. The field is only ever written by `taskless onboard --mark-complete` after the agent has explicit user confirmation, mirroring the `--anonymous` consent pattern. There is no separate decline state — declining is a per-conversation behavior governed by the skill, not persisted. + +**Why not a richer enum (`unset`/`in-progress`/`declined`/`done`)?** + +Two reasons. First, none of the other states unlock distinct behavior — only "done vs. not done" affects the gate. Second, the simpler shape avoids a future migration if we ever need to add states; the boolean is forward-compatible because the field is optional. + +### Decision 3: `--force` overrides any value of `onboarded` + +`taskless onboard --force` runs the recipe regardless of state — works whether `onboarded` is absent, `false`, or `true`. The flag is documented but not advertised in the standard recipe; the CLI's "already onboarded" message mentions it as the override. + +This avoids the pitfall where `--force` only works in the `true` state — if a user wants to re-run onboarding for any reason (new codebase, new tools available), one consistent flag should always work. + +### Decision 4: Skill description trigger is widened with named-tool suppression + +The `skill-taskless` description gains a new clause: + +> Also trigger when the user asks to add/write/create a rule and does NOT name a specific lint/format/static-analysis tool. Examples of named tools that suppress this trigger: eslint, ruff, biome, ast-grep. The list is illustrative — any named lint/format/static-analysis tool suppresses the trigger. + +Behavior on this trigger is **quiet suggestion**, not an interrogation: + +- The skill SHALL surface a single-line offer ("I can capture this as a Taskless rule if you want — say so, or I'll proceed with X"). +- If the user declines or ignores the offer, the agent SHALL proceed with whatever it would have done without the skill, and SHALL NOT re-offer in the same conversation. +- If the user accepts, the skill router takes over normally and proceeds via `npx @taskless/cli help rule create`. + +**Why not a fixed allowlist of suppressing tool names?** + +The CLI release cycle can't keep up with the long tail of linters/formatters/SAST tools (ruff, oxlint, knip, semgrep, clippy, golangci-lint, stylelint, rubocop, etc.). A fixed list is either too short (false-positive volunteers when users name a tool we forgot) or too long (eats the description's 1024-char budget). Spirit-of-the-rule wording with four named examples (eslint = JS/TS classic, ruff = Python, biome = modern unified, ast-grep = semantic/structural) gives the model both a heuristic and concrete pattern-matching anchors. + +**Why intentionally widen a trigger we previously narrowed?** + +The prior narrowing was correct _for users who already knew about Taskless and didn't want it suggested_. With the proactive-onboard goal, we accept a regression on that audience in exchange for helping users who installed Taskless but never used it productively. The mitigation set (quiet wording, named-tool suppression, in-conversation sticky decline) bounds the cost. + +### Decision 5: Recipe is conversational, not a fixed phase script + +The `onboard.txt` recipe instructs the agent to: + +1. Open with a short menu of _known_ sources for rule candidates: TODOs/FIXMEs (ripgrep), agent-memory files (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / .cursorrules / etc.), recent PR review comments (if `gh` is available), issue-tracker tickets (if a relevant MCP is detected). +2. Encourage the user to name additional sources the agent wouldn't know about (e.g., a team wiki page, a specific doc). +3. For each chosen source, scan and filter for _high-signal_ candidates — patterns that appear repeatedly, comments that cite a doc/style guide, things that block PR merges. Filter out one-off nits and pure formatting. +4. Synthesize a bullet list where each bullet is a hypothetical rule: a kebab-case name and a one-line description of what it would enforce. +5. For each bullet, offer to materialize it via the existing `/tskl create rule` flow. +6. At the end, ask the user whether they consider onboarding complete; on yes, run `taskless onboard --mark-complete`. + +**Why conversational over fixed phases?** + +The available sources differ wildly across users (some have GitHub, some have GitLab, some have neither; some use Linear, some Jira, some nothing; some have rich CLAUDE.md, some don't). A fixed phase script would either skip valuable sources for users who have them or run irrelevant phases for users who don't. The agent can see its own tool list — it knows what MCPs are available without us encoding that. Letting the agent + user decide together produces better signal-to-noise than a one-size-fits-all script. + +### Decision 6: Init prints a one-line trailer to nudge onboarding + +After the install summary, `taskless init` prints a single line such as: + +``` +Next: run /tskl onboard in your AI tool to discover rule candidates from your codebase. +``` + +This is added to both the wizard and the non-interactive path. It is not gated on the absence of `onboarded` — the trailer is informational, not an enforced flow. We don't want to fail an install just because the manifest reads `onboarded: true` from a previous run. + +## Risks / Trade-offs + +- **Risk: The widened trigger feels like advertising.** → Mitigation: enforce _quiet single-line_ suggestion wording in the skill body; in-conversation sticky decline; named-tool suppression. If real-world feedback shows the trigger is still annoying, the skill description can be re-narrowed in a follow-up without changing the rest of the change. + +- **Risk: The recipe takes a long time on large repos.** → Mitigation: the recipe is conversational — the agent confirms scope with the user before running long scans. The agent SHOULD show progress on multi-source scans (a status line per source, not per file). + +- **Risk: PR-comment scanning surfaces noisy candidates.** → Mitigation: the recipe explicitly instructs the agent to filter for _repeated patterns_, _cited docs_, and _merge-blocking comments_, not for one-off nits. The bullet output makes it easy for the user to decline candidates. + +- **Risk: A user who manually edited `taskless.json` to set `onboarded: true` later wants to re-run.** → Mitigation: documented `--force` flag; the "already onboarded" message tells them about it. + +- **Trade-off: No persistent "declined" state.** Users who decline the proactive suggestion will be re-asked in future conversations. Accepted: storing per-user decline state is more complexity than it's worth, and the suggestion is intentionally low-friction. + +- **Trade-off: Recipe success depends on agent quality.** A weaker host agent will produce weaker rule suggestions. We accept this — the alternative (encoding a deterministic suggestion engine in the CLI) defeats the point of the agent-skills architecture. + +## Migration Plan + +This change is additive at the schema level and observable-but-non-breaking at the trigger level. Migration steps: + +1. **Schema**: The `onboarded` field is new and optional; no `taskless.json` migration is required (existing manifests with no `onboarded` field read as "not onboarded" naturally). No bump to the migrate-runner version is needed. +2. **Skill**: Existing installs do not auto-update. Users who upgrade the CLI (or run `taskless update`) will pick up the new skill body and description on the next install. Users who never re-run init will keep the v0.7.0 skill — that's acceptable; the `onboard` command works regardless. +3. **Help**: The `onboard` topic appears in the `taskless help` index after the new build is released. +4. **Init trailer**: Appears on the next CLI release; existing installs are unaffected until they re-run init. + +No rollback complexity beyond standard "publish a previous CLI version." diff --git a/openspec/changes/add-onboard-command/proposal.md b/openspec/changes/add-onboard-command/proposal.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..47149c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/openspec/changes/add-onboard-command/proposal.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +## Why + +First-time users who install Taskless don't know what it can do or what kinds of rules it's well-suited to capture, leading to underutilization.

The field is 3-state (absent / false / true); absent or false both mean "not yet onboarded" for gating purposes. Update writeInstallState to preserve any pre-existing install.onboarded across re-installs. Without this, taskless init or taskless update would silently wipe the flag because writeInstallState constructs a fresh TasklessInstallManifest from InstallState (which does not carry onboarded).

Don't tell the user "I'll scan PR comments" if `gh` isn't + installed — say "PR comments need the GitHub CLI, or equivalent; want me to skip + this or wait while you install these tools?" + +4. **Scan with high-signal filtering.** For each chosen source: + + - **Filter for repeated patterns.** A reviewer comment that + appears across multiple PRs is a much stronger rule candidate + than a one-off nit. + - **Prefer comments that cite a doc or style guide.** "Per our + style guide, no direct DB calls in controllers" is a rule. + "looks good" is not. + - **Prefer merge-blocking feedback.** Comments that gated a PR + merge are higher-signal than passing remarks. + - **Filter out one-off nits and pure formatting.** Linters and + formatters already handle those; Taskless rules earn their + keep on semantic patterns. + +5. **Synthesize the bullet list.** Present findings as a single + bullet list the user can scan quickly. One bullet per + hypothetical rule, in this format: + + ``` + - : + ``` + + Example: + + ``` + - no-direct-db-access: Prevent controllers from importing the DB module directly; route through the service layer. + - require-zod-validation: Flag API handlers that read request bodies without parsing them through a Zod schema first. + - no-console-log-in-handlers: Disallow console.log inside HTTP handlers; use the structured logger instead. + ``` + + Order the bullets by your judgment of impact (frequency in the + source × severity of the issue × ease of enforcement). Don't + inflate the list — three high-quality candidates beat ten + speculative ones. + +6. **Offer materialization per bullet.** For each bullet, ask + whether the user wants to turn it into a real Taskless rule. On + yes, fetch `taskless help rule create` and follow that recipe — + the user's accepted bullet becomes the rule description input. + +7. **Ask before marking onboarding complete.** When the user signals + they're done (they've materialized everything they want, or + they've said "that's enough for now"), explicitly ask: "Do you + want me to mark Taskless as onboarded? You won't be re-asked to + onboard until you pass `--force`." On explicit yes — and only + on explicit yes — run: + + ``` + npx @taskless/cli onboard --mark-complete + ``` + + Do NOT mark onboarding complete on your own initiative.

Add taskless onboard subcommand. Three modes via flag combinations: - default: bootstrap .taskless/, gate on install.onboarded === true (refuse with --force hint), otherwise print the embedded onboard recipe. - --mark-complete: write install.onboarded = true, preserving all other manifest state. Invoked by the host agent only after explicit user confirmation per the recipe. - --force --mark-complete: rejected with exit 1 and a clear error. Telemetry: cli_onboard_recipe (with forced property), cli_onboard_already_done, cli_onboard_marked_complete. 2. Migrate recipe-rendering substitution from ad-hoc {{KEY}} replaceAll to sprintf-js named arguments (%(KEY)s). Centralizes the variable table in renderRecipe with two flavors: - System-resolved values (CLI_VERSION, INPUT_SCHEMA when present). - Agent-fill markers (PACKAGE_MANAGER_DLX, rendered as ) so consuming agents can substitute at execution time without recipe-specific conventions. All 15 recipes migrated; commands/help.ts exports a new getRecipe() so onboard.ts and the help command share the same render path. User-visible diff: ci.txt previously rendered {{PACKAGE_MANAGER_DLX}}; now renders . The recipe prose is consistent with the new marker. Refs add-onboard-command (group 3 + 3a).

The trailer is suppressed on cancel/failure: wizard cancellation returns before the trailer line, and any throw in the install path propagates past it. taskless update keeps its existing void-discard on runNonInteractive and does not print the trailer.

Review feedback: - M1: update the stale '{{INPUT_SCHEMA}}' comment above TOPIC_INPUT_SCHEMAS in help.ts to reference the current '%(INPUT_SCHEMA)s' sprintf-js syntax. - M2: correct the proposal's 'No new runtime dependencies' bullet (sprintf-js was added in support of the substitution refactor; @types/sprintf-js is dev-only). - L1: generalize writeInstallState to shallow-merge previous install state with the newly computed install record, so any sibling fields under install (today: onboarded; tomorrow: future opt-in flags) survive re-installs without each one needing bespoke preservation code. Archive: - Move openspec/changes/add-onboard-command/ to openspec/changes/archive/2026-05-15-add-onboard-command/. - Merge all 5 spec deltas into the live capability specs (cli-help, cli-init, cli-onboard, cli-taskless-bootstrap, skill-taskless). - Used --no-validate because the live cli-init spec has 3 pre- existing requirements without SHALL/MUST keywords (req 17, 22, 23 — pre-date this change). They block strict re-validation during merge but the deltas merge cleanly. Worth a follow-up cleanup pass; out of scope here. Side benefit: the live cli-help 'Help text files follow a consistent format' requirement now uses prose instead of an embedded fenced template (the prior fence confused the parser into reporting zero scenarios). Resolves the S1 follow-up flagged by /opsx:verify. 210 tests still pass; build clean. Refs PR #20.
