The new skill measures before it changes anything (listing and SKILL.md sizes, hook output, messages and news, subagent runs, context re-read per turn) and works seven levers in order: listing, length, messages by the Peer protocol, subagents, graph first, hooks and the context window; every change waits for the operator's pick, and another repository's skills get a register task instead of a write. kvb-optimize runs it right after kvb-skill-essence.
context.py reports per UTC day, from the transcripts Claude Code keeps, the turns (one per message id, although the transcript repeats usage per content block), context tokens, median, p90, compactions and the shares of turns and tokens above each threshold, so no cron is needed. enable-plugins.js sets CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW to 500000 only where it is unset, as the operator's trial value; silence proposes a new one only with the series as evidence, never on its own. test_context and test_dream cover both.

install.sh copies every skills-lock.json skill into .claude/skills while enable-plugins.js also enables the caveman and ponytail plugins that ship the same skills, so Claude listed 13 long descriptions twice on every turn of every session. enable-plugins.js now removes from the settings' .claude/skills every locked skill whose source is an enabled plugin's repository, taken from MARKETPLACES; .agents/skills keeps the copies for Codex and Gemini, which have no Claude plugin. The install message names it. test_dream checks that plugin copies go and other skills stay.

Every delivered SendMessage costs its recipient a full turn of re-reading its context. news.py keeps status that asks nothing in <council root>/news.jsonl: post adds an item for every session or --to named ones (at most 500 kept, under a lock), and its UserPromptSubmit hook prints the unseen items of the last 24 hours (at most 10, own posts left out) with the session's next turn and marks them seen per session; the hook never fails a prompt. show prints without marking. enable-plugins.js registers the hook; test_news covers single delivery, addressing, own posts and broken input.

The new category agent holds skills that act on an agent's own setup. kvb-agent-optimize sets up the general code index codebase-memory-mcp (MIT, fully local) for every repository in scope and tightens its agent instructions: agents.py reports whether AGENTS.md exists, whether CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md point to it, dead relative links, whether it names the index, whether the binary is installed and the git state of the shared snapshot; the operator installs the index through kvb-org-operator; the agent indexes with index_repository and check_index_coverage, asks whether the snapshot is shared, sends code questions to the graph first, audits the instructions with prompt-audit and confirms every change. A domain graph the generic index cannot see goes to the line that owns the repository. kvb-optimize runs it as step 9, so kvb-dream does too. test_naming lists the category, test_dream the optimizer, and test_agent_optimize covers the checks.

hooks/reminder.sh claims the current clock hour with an atomic mkdir under ~/.claude/.coach-hours/, so only the first prompt of the hour across all agents gets the COACH HOUR hint (at most three lines, most urgent area first, then the request); earlier hours are removed. enable-plugins.js registers it next to the kvb-dream reminder. test_coach covers once per hour, silence within the hour and the cleanup; test_dream checks the single registration. Operator order 2026-11-03.

kvb-skill-dream becomes the uncategorized collector kvb-dream. It reads the last 24 hours of every repository and session the agent touched, writes each finding into the memory of its own project, hands its findings to the new kvb-optimize (skill-cleanup, transcend, skill-auto, skill-tune, skill-compile, skill-essence, code-refactor, code-tune, think-gaps, one round of questions) and then runs kvb-cleanup and kvb-git-branch-gc. The separate kvb-skill-tune reminder is gone: one reminder reads the session id from the hook payload and hints each agent at most every twelve hours, and the global install enables kvb-dream-notify.timer, a systemd user timer that recommends /kvb-dream in a GNOME notification daily at 17:00 local time and catches up once after a missed run. enable-plugins.js retires the tune reminder hooks and repoints every earlier dream hook path. Operator order 2026-11-03; three descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.
BREAKING CHANGE: /kvb-skill-dream is now /kvb-dream; kvb-skill-tune no longer has its own reminder hook.

kvb-skills-dream, -tune, -auto, -essence and -transcend become kvb-skill-*, and tests/test_naming.py now requires the category skill. enable-plugins.js registers the reminder hooks under the new names and repoints hook commands of the previous kvb-skills-* paths as well as the older autotune/dream paths; test_dream covers both generations. References in kvb-check-confidence, kvb-org-perform, kvb-org-rasci, kvb-transcend, the tests and the README organigram and skill map follow. The header comments of both reminder hooks and enable-plugins.js are dropped.
BREAKING CHANGE: /kvb-skills-dream, /kvb-skills-tune, /kvb-skills-auto, /kvb-skills-essence and /kvb-skills-transcend are now /kvb-skill-*.

All 38 first-party skills move to kvb-<category>-<name> with the categories think, create, code, ci, git, check, org and skills; kvb-cleanup and kvb-help are the only uncategorized names. tests/test_naming.py pins the schema, the Agent Skills name rules and the README organigram. enable-plugins.js repoints hook commands of renamed skills in settings.local.json so a stale script path cannot block tools.
BREAKING CHANGE: the old skill names and slash commands (/commit-next, /dream, /autotune, ...) are gone; use their kvb- successors listed in the README organigram.

Replay the last 24h of a repository — git log and reflog, CI, reviews,
memory, session transcripts — score every action as held, broke or unknown
against its evidence, harden the resulting hypotheses with dialectic, and
persist what survives. The objective is a measurably more confident next
run: a class of error counts as closed only once a test, check, hook or
written rule prevents it.
Derived improvements to the code and to the agent instructions are offered
as single-select questions, and the run ends in autotune and autoskill.
The reminder hook stamps into each repository's git dir, so every repo
carries its own twelve-hour cadence and the hook stays silent outside a
git repository.
