Refs TML-3223 part 2 — the skills audit's docs findings.

Summary

Three auditors swept the 18 skills beside record-upgrade-instructions and found 40 claims that no longer match the tree. This PR fixes the documentation half: paths that resolve nowhere, examples that outlived the code they cite, and instructions with no runnable form.

The corrections are mechanical and wide but shallow — each replaces a claim with what the tree, the scripts, or the PR template actually do:

  • Dead references. The visitor example pointed at a file that dispatches through polymorphic hooks now; it names the live Mongo DDL command set instead, across the three files that set really occupies. create-pr sent readers to .agents/skills/drive-pr-walkthrough/SKILL.md, which is installed from prisma/ignite and absent here — it now names the skill and says what to do when it is not installed.
  • Phantom path segments. Release-notes recipe URLs carried skills/upgrade/… and skills/extension-author/…; neither exists, so every migration link 404'd. Fixed in the skill and in docs/releases/README.md, along with the prisma/prisma-nextprisma/prisma slug.
  • A template that grew a section. contrib-pr and create-pr both enumerate the PR template's headers, and neither mentioned ## Skill update — whose checkbox their own instructions then tell you to tick.
  • Instructions with no runnable form. Reacting 👍/👎 on a thread and detecting pending reviews each got the exact gh api graphql call.
  • Smaller corrections. Two agent files named models the harness cannot resolve; a documented table promised a Linear column its renderer does not emit; the release skill's PR title contradicted its own frontmatter; the biome rename step is now conditional on files that no longer exist.

Two findings are held for an operator ruling and are not in this PR: contrib-pr's conventional-commit-versus-TML-NNNN title-policy collision (the repo's own surfaces disagree), and renaming skills-contrib/record-gotcha/ to match its installed plural name. record-gotcha's broken bootstrap link and MCP plugin naming are fixed here.

Testing performed

pnpm lint:skills (green), pnpm rules:sync (no-op).

Skill update

This PR is entirely skill maintenance — it corrects 13 skill documents plus docs/releases/README.md.

Notes for the reviewer

Wide but shallow by design: 15 files, ~66 lines changed, no behavior. The script-side findings ship separately in the companion PR so this one stays reviewable as prose.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated release-note guidance with migration links, transition labels, and prerelease URL requirements.
    • Clarified AST, architecture, package export, and Biome configuration guidance.
    • Refined contribution, pull request, release, migration, and workspace instructions.
    • Improved review workflows, including pending-review checks, reaction handling, action scaffolding, and output conventions.
    • Corrected integration references, skill paths, repository links, security-documentation handling, and checkout guidance.
    • Added guidance for documenting breaking changes when migration recipes are unavailable.

An audit of the 18 skills beside record-upgrade-instructions found paths
that resolve nowhere, commands whose output no longer matches, and
examples that outlived the code they cite. The corrections are
mechanical: each one replaces a claim with what the tree, the scripts or
the templates actually do.

Dead references: the visitor example pointed at a file that dispatches
through polymorphic hooks now, and create-pr sent readers to a skill
installed from another repo. Phantom path segments in the release-notes
recipe URLs made every migration link 404, in the skill and in
docs/releases/README.md alike.

Templates that had grown a section: contrib-pr and create-pr both list
the PR template's headers, and neither mentioned the Skill update section
its checklist asks you to confirm.

Two agent files named models the harness cannot resolve, one table
promised a column its renderer does not emit, and two instructions had no
runnable form until now — reacting to a thread and detecting pending
reviews each got the exact gh api call.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d943

This documentation PR corrects many stale instructions, but the current head still leaves a workflow prerequisite incomplete, contradictory PR-heading guidance, a potentially dead link, and a walkthrough installation source that is unreachable and unpinned. Contributors may encounter failed workflows or non-reproducible, non-conforming instructions, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/releases/README.md`:
- Around line 19-21: Update the release documentation convention and
breaking-change template to include an absolute, tag-pinned link to the
skills/prisma-8-extension-upgrade recipe when that directory applies, alongside
the existing skills/prisma-next-upgrade link. Preserve the rule that authors
link whichever applicable recipe directories exist.

In `@skills-contrib/contrib-pr/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 3-8: Update the trigger examples associated with the contributor
PR skill to reference prisma/prisma instead of the stale prisma-next repository
name, while preserving the existing example intent and formatting.

In `@skills-contrib/create-pr/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 72-78: Update the Skill update guidance in
skills-contrib/create-pr/SKILL.md lines 72-78 and
skills-contrib/contrib-pr/SKILL.md lines 117-126 to use the template’s
conditional rule: require a description when the change is user-facing, and
require an explanation when no skill update is needed. Keep “n/a — internal
only” only for purely internal or refactor changes without user-visible impact,
applying equivalent wording in both workflows.
- Line 130: Update the required drive-pr-walkthrough step in the skill
instructions to use a reachable canonical source instead of the unavailable
prisma/ignite URL, or make deriving the walkthrough from the current diff the
primary workflow while treating the external skill as optional.

In `@skills-contrib/draft-release-notes/SKILL.md`:
- Line 145: Update the guidance around the matching transition-label upgrade
recipe in the release-notes authoring instructions to define the missing-recipe
fallback: authors may source code examples from the PR diff, or omit the example
and describe the required action inline when no recipe exists.

In `@skills-contrib/github-review-iteration/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 28-29: Update the example command using review-iterate.mjs so it
is runnable from the repository root: reference the script through its full
skills-installation path or explicitly change into the skill directory before
invoking it, while preserving the documented reviews-root behavior.

In `@skills-contrib/review-implement-phase/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 65-66: Update the pending-review checks in the review
implementation flow to filter reviews by the acting user’s login before
blocking, including the re-check after the existing initial query. Paginate the
reviews connection rather than limiting it to the last 20 entries, so older
pending reviews authored by the acting user are still detected.

In `@skills-contrib/write-architecture-docs/SKILL.md`:
- Line 49: Update the ADR 177 Markdown link in the architecture documentation
example to use the path
../../docs/architecture%20docs/adrs/ADR%20177%20-%20Ownership%20replaces%20relation%20strategy.md
relative to SKILL.md, preserving the surrounding text.

- write-architecture-docs: say the ADR link is relative to the subsystem
  doc being written.

Keep the template headings and aliases consistent.

Line 72 requires the exact ## Summary, ## Testing performed, and ## Notes for the reviewer headings. Later instructions use ## At a glance, ## Verification, and ## Reviewer notes. Line 110 also permits ## Verification instead of ## Testing performed.

An agent can follow the detailed structure and still omit headings required by the template. Define explicit one-to-one aliases, or require the exact template headings throughout.

As per coding guidelines: **/*.{md,mdc} files must keep documentation current, including READMEs, rules, and links; prefer links to canonical documentation over long comments.

Step 1 resolves BASE_BRANCH as a local ref with a remote fallback and an

- **Substantive change?** If the change is more than a typo / doc fix / obvious bug fix, ask the user whether they opened a tracking issue first per `CONTRIBUTING.md`. If not, recommend they do — maintainers will respond within 5 business days, and a half-day issue conversation can prevent a one-week PR rewrite when the design direction differs from what they expect.
- **Tests updated.** If the change has any behavioural delta and there are no test changes in the diff, push back on the user before opening the PR. "Why aren't there tests?" is the most common reason a PR gets bounced.
- **No backward-compat shims.** prisma-next is pre-1.0; if the change renames or removes an API, the call sites should be updated, not aliased.

The last sentence is confusing and reads as if using git is required which is not true. The two clauses separated by the semicolon contradict each other (it basically says "Using git is required; it is not actually required."). And I don't understand what it has to do with the main idea in this bullet point which is VCS-agnostic even if explained in Git terms.
