feat(agentic-engineering): describe the as-is and recommend upstreaming - #234
Conversation
…ngelog The plugin README opened with four version-narration paragraphs and four migration sections, so a reader evaluating the plugin met its past before learning what it does today. Those are historical records, which belong in a changelog. Adds plugins/agentic-engineering/CHANGELOG.md carrying every released version from 1.0.0, newest first, with each breaking release's steps under an "Upgrading to <version>" anchor. The README now describes only the as-is and links the changelog; docs/resources.md links the new anchors.

A deployment that finds a better rule, a repaired procedure, or a closed blind spot in a role this plugin ships has no reason given to send it back here, so the fix lands in that consumer's own copy or overlay of the definition. It then stops inheriting upstream fixes, grows what every dispatch loads, reads as current to a check comparing an install against its reviewed source, and every other consumer rediscovers the same defect. Both write-capable roles now route a definition change by what it is a fact about: a deployment-owned fact stays with the consumer, and anything describing how to decide or act goes to the upstream that authors it, upstream first so the consumer never pins a revision without the fix. The README states the same routing for humans and says how to send one; the repository conventions record it, alongside the README/CHANGELOG split.

…scope The upstreaming rule told both roles to deliver a generic fix as a pull request to the definition's upstream. For a deployment whose contract does not put that upstream in scope, that instructed an action its own boundary forbids. The consumer's rules for acting outside its portfolio now decide how the change gets there — an approval first, or a change the maintainer submits. Being out of scope stays a question about delivery, never permission to write generic behaviour into a local file instead.

Learning: During code review in this repo: (1) For `plugins/agentic-engineering/agents/*.agent.md` (local agent-entrypoints), do NOT require upstream provenance frontmatter—assume these are authored locally; renames/edits to agent-entrypoints should remain local and not be forced through the upstream sync process. (2) For bundled skill artifacts at `plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md`, expect upstream provenance frontmatter to be present; do not make direct “local” edits for skill content—skill changes must originate from the upstream source and be brought in via the repo’s sync workflow.

The changelog's newest entry was 5.1.8 while the manifests ship 5.2.0, so it omitted the very release this change creates — a changelog that fails its own stated job on day one. Adds the 5.2.0 entry. The upstreaming section claimed every deployment runs the same three roles, which contradicts the consumer contract a few sections above it: the Agent Improver is enabled only when a consumer supplies two further sections. The claim that carries the argument is that deployments install the same role definitions, which is true whichever roles they enable.

Learning: In `plugins/agentic-engineering/README.md`, the “Improving the plugin” section must describe plugin-authored role definitions as shared across deployments, not claim that every deployment enables every bundled role. The `agent-improver` role is conditionally enabled by the Consumer contract.

…ntry "the upgrade steps each breaking release needs moved into this changelog" parses, but "needs moved" reads as the nonstandard double modal, so a reader backs up mid-sentence. Dropping "needs" removes the adjacency and keeps "moved" as the verb, so the entry still records what the release did rather than what the file now contains.

Why
The plugin's README spent its first third on its own past — what versions 2 to 5 changed, and four migration checklists — so anyone opening it to decide whether the plugin fits met its transition history before learning what it does today. That is a dated account, which belongs in a changelog.
Separately, the plugin never asked anything back from the deployments that run it. Consumers are where its rough edges actually surface, but with no guidance a fix lands in that consumer's own copy of the role, where it stops inheriting upstream fixes and every other consumer rediscovers the same defect.
What
The README now describes only the plugin as it is, and a new changelog carries every released version with each breaking release's upgrade steps under its own anchor — no upgrade guidance is lost, it just moved somewhere a reader can jump to.
The plugin now recommends sending generic improvements back upstream and gives a test for deciding: would the change have to be rewritten to install the role on a different portfolio? If not, it belongs here, where every deployment inherits it. Both write-capable roles carry that routing, so an autonomous deployment does it unprompted, and the README explains how a person sends one — including that bundled skills are authored elsewhere.
