Every scheduled Update run since 2026-10-31 failed with 'Missing required argument: source': --agent takes several values and swallowed the source that followed it. update.sh now passes the source first. test_update.py had pinned the source as the last argument and so encoded the bug; it now requires the source right after add and claude-code as the only agent (negative control against the old order fails).

Every new skill had to trim the trigger phrases of others to stay under 1300 words; the operator raised the total to 1500. The per-skill limit of 40 words stays.

branches.py lists every open branch of the remote with its lag behind the base and whether it belongs to the operator: a pull request by the operator's login, or a branch whose own commits all carry the operator's email; merged branches drop out and fork pull requests are marked. The skill merges the base into the operator's own branches directly and into others only after consent through kvb-think-listen, never rebases, aborts on a conflict for kvb-git-merge-fix, and hands every push and gh pr update-branch to kvb-org-operator. tests/test_update_branches.py builds a bare origin with own, foreign, merged, PR and fork cases. Operator order 2026-11-03; three descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.

kvb-optimize already runs kvb-transcend as its second skill; step 7 of kvb-dream now says so, since the operator asked that dreaming carries the sessions' scripts, tests and skills into their repositories.

issues.py reads gh pr view --json from stdin and lists every issue the pull request references: closing keywords and mentions in the body and the commits (own repo, owner/repo#n and issue URLs), a trailing number in the branch name and the issues GitHub already links. The skill verifies each one against the diff and its test or CI evidence, asks the operator, then closes a fix that reached the default branch with a comment naming the pull request and commit, or adds Closes lines to the body of a pull request that is still open or merged elsewhere. tests/test_close_issues.py covers every reference kind. Operator order 2026-11-03; two descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.

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-coach-meditation writes a local session page with its settings embedded (xdg-open drops a file:// query): generative pentatonic ambience with reverb over an isochronic or binaural alpha layer (8-13 Hz), a WebGL Julia fractal that zooms with the breathing cue (box, 4-7-8 or none), breath-synced glowing type in URW Gothic, +/- keys for the picture's brightness kept in localStorage, and a progress line along the bottom edge. meditation.py validates every setting and refuses a session while one is missing; after every session kvb-think-listen collects feedback that becomes one set per answer, logged in the kvb-coach profile. Adds the category coach: every coaching skill beyond kvb-coach is named kvb-coach-<name>. tests/test_meditation.py keeps script and page in step. Operator order 2026-11-03; two descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.

kvb-coach reads the situation (local time, hours at work today, the profile, open operator commands from kvb-org-operator, delegable kvb-org-rasci tasks) and suggests at most one next step per area: psyche, body, sleep, food, the operator's own tasks, and tasks to delegate to agents; short, friendly, with emojis, ordered by what the situation needs and biased to what the operator likes. It runs kvb-think-listen often to learn preferences. coach.py keeps the host-local profile in the gitignored .state/ of the skills repository: likes and dislikes per area (one replaces the other), a capped done-log, and the hours since the last activity per area; tests/test_coach.py covers it. General wellbeing only, no medical advice. Operator order 2026-11-03; two descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.

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.

legacy.py reads the skills repository's git history (renames and deletions of skills/*/SKILL.md), follows rename chains to the current skill, and classifies every installed skill directory as current (shipped or locked), project (tracked in the repository that holds the root), legacy (with its successor), removed, or unknown. kvb-skill-cleanup scans ~/.claude/skills, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.codex/skills and the projects' .claude and .agents skills, asks the operator, and deletes by re-running the installer, by rm -r where the sandbox allows, or through kvb-org-operator; a rescan verifies. tests/test_skill_cleanup.py covers a two-step rename chain, a deletion, a locked, a project and an unknown skill, and invalid input; a broken one-step resolver fails it. Operator order 2026-11-03; four descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.

kvb-org-operator collects the steps that wait on a human across all agents: commands under a deny or unconfirmed ask rule, anything outside the sandbox (keys, permission settings, foreign hosts, root), steps the agent rules reserve for the operator (push, release, tags, reboot) and human-bound ones (hardware key, login, second factor, purchase, decision). Sources are the own session, the kvb-org-rasci register and one message per live peer. Done steps drop out, duplicates merge, the rest is ordered by dependency and printed as a table plus one copyable bash block, then recorded as operator/<slug> register tasks. Agents never run a listed command or hand it to a peer. Operator order 2026-11-03; four descriptions trimmed for the listing budget.

kvb-skill-compile finds the steps of a skill whose result follows from its inputs alone (fixed command sequences, parsing, counting, thresholds, format checks, bookkeeping) and turns them into tested scripts in the repository that owns the skill: skills/<skill>/scripts/ with a test under tests/ in the skills repository, that repository's own convention elsewhere, and an upstream proposal for third-party skills. The prose shrinks to the call. Wired into kvb-skill-tune (finding and shape option), kvb-skill-dream step 7, kvb-skill-auto, kvb-skill-transcend and kvb-skill-essence. Four descriptions are trimmed to stay inside the 1300-word listing budget.

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-*.

kvb-create-requirement asks for the context, runs kvb-think-listen and kvb-think-brainstorm, then drafts one requirement with a user story, operator-confirmed decisions, a Mermaid approach flowchart with emoji phases, a test loop and an operator feedback checkpoint per stage, checkbox acceptance criteria grouped by area, and a Tests group with unit, integration and e2e (n/a with a reason). It writes only on the operator's Write it and stops with an offer to hand over to kvb-create-plan. kvb-think-brainstorm generates options through seven fixed lenses, scores them on value, effort and risk, and hands the best two or three over. kvb-create-feature becomes kvb-think-gaps: it still finds and ranks missing work but delegates every pick to kvb-create-requirement, so the requirement template lives in one place. Operator order 2026-11-03.
BREAKING CHANGE: /kvb-create-feature is now /kvb-think-gaps.

Adds kvb-transcend (collector), kvb-skills-transcend (into the skills repo) and kvb-code-transcend (into the current repo). transcend.py scans the own scratchpad, peer scratchpads and the agent homes for scripts, tests and skills the skills repo does not ship, skips secret-named and oversized files, and remembers carried/dropped decisions by content digest in the gitignored .state/transcend.json, so a rescan offers only new or changed candidates. Wired into kvb-skills-tune (own scripts), kvb-code-tune step 6 (measurements) and kvb-skills-dream step 7. Seven descriptions are tightened to stay inside the 1300-word listing budget.

The operator dropped the conversation shortcuts (sobu, soco, socobu, socon, sona, sote) as unnecessary. Deletes the skill and tests/test_shortcuts.py, drops the tokens from the kvb-code-no-comments triggers, the shortcut branch from kvb-skills-auto step 3, the shortcuts row option from kvb-skills-tune, and the nodes and edge from the README organigram and skill map.
BREAKING CHANGE: the shortcut tokens no longer expand; use /kvb-git-commit-next and /kvb-git-commit-no-verify.

kvb-git-commit-no-verify gains a step between the audits and git commit: the message right before the commit call names the worktree's absolute path, the branch, the fix confidence (kvb-check-confidence) and the break risk (kvb-check-break-risk). kvb-git-commit-next names the block in its hand-over step. Operator order 2026-11-03, after a commit in the #1324 worktree was rejected for omitting the path. Also replaces the stale advocate name with kvb-check-legal.

Operator rule: a hotfix gate (a branch from the default branch that fixes it) takes the next free gate or test slot before every other line; everything else keeps its WSJF rank, and a running gate is never cut short for a hotfix. Written into the chair's queue in kvb-org-organize and the grant step of kvb-org-wsjf.

kvb-cleanup asks every peer to report and remove its own unused worktrees and volumes, inventories each worktree's size, dirty state, push state and whether its HEAD is already in an integration line, ranks such clean worktrees as medium risk, and removes slot worktrees through the teardown target and sidetrees through git worktree remove without --force. kvb-git-branch-gc runs its dry run with pkgmgr branch gc --sizes --min-age 24 --merged-into <line> and shows Merged into and Size.

kvb-org-wsjf: the chair asks its subordinates for Fibonacci estimates of business value and complexity, rasci.py estimate records them per party, and WSJF = median value / median complexity ranks the tasks. rasci.py wsjf prints the WSJF table with OKR and the task id; the register's show takes its Prio from that rank (an operator --prio pin first) and adds a WSJF column. Four descriptions were tightened to keep the listing budget.

rasci.py keeps the organisation's tasks in <council root>/rasci.json: RASCI roles, objective with key results, priority, worker, start, end, workdir, branch, tools and artifacts; done is refused while a key result is open. council.py writes every claim, takeover and release through, and show lists the live claims as one row per task with R, A, S, C and I columns. kvb-org-artefacts manages the artifacts in the same table for kvb-cleanup. The org, plan, triage, tune, cleanup, branch-gc and dream skills now record into and read from the register; five descriptions were tightened to keep the listing budget.

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.

Every run now examines each measured hot path for the most efficient language and framework fit and for unnecessary recursion, and reports the result even when clean. Framework overhead joins the language section; changes stay bound to the session's limits.
