Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

moai-adk-go Domain Patterns

Architecture Quick Reference

moai-adk-go is a Go binary (`moai`) with four subsystems:

1. **CLI** (`internal/cli/*.go`, `cmd/moai/`) — Cobra commands: `init`, `update`, `hook`, `build`, `glm`, `cc`, `cg`, `version`, `doctor`, `spec`. Subcommand handlers read stdin JSON for hooks, emit structured output for the orchestrator. 2. **Template system** (`internal/template/`) — `go:embed`-based scaffolding. Source at `internal/template/templates/`, embedded into the binary via `//go:embed all:templates` in `internal/template/embed.go` (no generated `.go` file). `make build` recompiles the binary. `TemplateContext` (`{{.GoBinPath}}` / `{{.HomeDir}}`) renders at `moai init`. 3. **Config** (`internal/config/`) — `defaults.go` (single source for thresholds), `envkeys.go` (env-var constants), `TemplateContext` renderer. 4. **Hook + CI** (`.claude/hooks/moai/*.sh`, `.github/workflows/`) — bash wrapper hooks calling `moai hook <event>`; CI guard enforces template neutrality.

Plus the **SPEC lifecycle** (`.moai/specs/`) governing the project's own development (plan→run→sync→Mx).

Key Source Paths

| Subsystem | Path | Notes | |-----------|------|-------| | Cobra commands | `internal/cli/*.go` | wired from `cmd/moai/` | | Template source | `internal/template/templates/**` | edit HERE first | | Embedded assets | `internal/template/embed.go` | `//go:embed all:templates` (no generated file) | | Config defaults | `internal/config/defaults.go` | threshold SSOT | | Env constants | `internal/config/envkeys.go` | no hardcoded env names | | SPEC docs | `.moai/specs/SPEC-*/` | spec/plan/acceptance/progress | | Era classifier | `internal/spec/era.go` | `ClassifyEra()` H-1..H-6 | | Hook scripts | `.claude/hooks/moai/*.sh` | bash only, no Python | | CI workflows | `.github/workflows/*.yaml` | neutrality guard active | | Harness agents | `.claude/agents/harness/*.md` | USER-OWNED (this skill) |

Pipeline Specialist Delegation Map

This harness is a 4-stage pipeline; each specialist delegates to retained agents (never archived, never replaces them):

CLI/Template ──→ quality ──→ workflow ──→ hook/CI
  │                │            │            │
  ├─ manager-develop (tdd, backend)
  ├─ Explore (read-only)
  ├─ sync-auditor (4-dim scoring)
  ├─ sync-phase-quality-gate.sh (Stop hook)
  ├─ manager-spec (plan)
  ├─ manager-develop (run)
  ├─ manager-docs (sync)
  ├─ plan-auditor (audit)
  ├─ builder-harness (artifact_type=hook|command|plugin)
  └─ Agent(general-purpose, model: opus, tools: ..., prompt: "...CI specialist...")

Template-First Build Cycle

When adding/editing anything that ships to user projects:

1. Edit `internal/template/templates/<path>` FIRST. 2. Run `make build` → recompiles the binary (templates embedded via `//go:embed all:templates` in `embed.go`; no generated `.go` file). 3. Sync to local: `moai update` (or manual copy). 4. Verify the local `.claude/` / `.moai/` reflects the template. 5. Run `go test ./internal/template/...` (neutrality audit included).

Never edit `.claude/` or `.moai/` directly without a template source. The source of truth is `templates/` — edit files there, then `make build`.

Namespace Separation Contract

Two namespaces, enforced by `moai update`:

| Namespace | Location | Owner | `moai update` behavior | |-----------|----------|-------|------------------------| | Template-managed | `internal/template/templates/**` → `.claude/agents/{core,expert,meta}/`, `moai-*` skills | MoAI-ADK distribution | Overwrites local on sync | | User-owned (this harness) | `.claude/agents/harness/`, `harness-*` skills, `.moai/harness/` | Project developer | NEVER deleted/modified; backup before update |

The canonical user-owned skill prefix is `harness-*` (recognized by Go enforcement after the namespace catch-up, SPEC-V3R6-HARNESS-NAMESPACE-V2-001). The legacy `my-harness-*` form is retained during a backward-compat deprecation window; new skills MUST use the bare `harness-*` prefix.

Common Workflows

Add a template

1. Create file at `internal/template/templates/<path>`. 2. `make build`. 3. `moai update` (or test via `./moai init /tmp/test-project`). 4. `go test ./internal/template/... -run TestTemplateNeutralityAudit`.

Add a hook

1. Write `.claude/hooks/moai/handle-<event>.sh` (bash, reads stdin JSON, calls `moai hook <event>`). 2. Wire in `.claude/settings.json` with `"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/..."` quoting + `timeout: 5`. 3. If the hook is template-distributable, add the wrapper template source AND the settings.json entry to `internal/template/templates/`.

Add an agent (harness specialist)

1. Create `.claude/agents/harness/<role>-specialist.md` with `name`, trigger-shaped `descript
