The eight-section build below is for the **bug lane** (and the `--github` output). + +Build the issue body using the **exact eight `##` headings `/finish` Step 2 requires**, verbatim, in this order: `## Context`, `## Assumptions`, `## Implementation`, `## Acceptance criteria`, `## Test plan`, `## Done signal`, `## Dependencies`, `## PR contract`.

Put `- None — …` in `## Assumptions` if you made none (the section must be present even when empty). + +Then, by output mode: + +- **Planning backend (default) — HITL-gated.** Draft the title + body + labels + parent and **show the full draft**: *"Here's the shaped issue I'll create: `<title>` under `<parent>`, labels `<…>`.

Apply the type label **at creation** (on Linear this is what caches the suggested branch-name; see your `cbk-conventions.md` for backend-specific write notes). For a markdown-only planning backend, write the shaped issue as the in-repo issue entry rather than an MCP write. + - **Cross-link provenance.** If the source was a **GitHub issue**: comment back on it (`gh issue comment <N> --body "Tracked as <KEY>-N — <issue-url>"`) and record the GitHub URL in the issue body.

The next action — for a bug-lane issue: *"`/finish <KEY>-N` when ready."* For a **small capability** (enhancement lane): *"run `/enrich <KEY>-N`, then `/finish`."* For a **large capability**: *"this needs `framing` → `rough-in` before `/finish` — return to chat for the framing skill."* +5. Provenance — source (`#N` / reporter), label applied. + +## What `/intake` does NOT do + +- **Does not implement the fix or land code.** `/finish` is the sole code-writer; `/intake` ends at a shaped issue. +- **Does not write to the planning backend or GitHub silently.** Every issue create / update is drafted, shown, and approved first — a planning-backend or GitHub write is state outside the local repo, so it announces before it commits. +- **Does not create duplicate tracking issues.** It checks first and asks. +- **Does not bypass framing for *large* capabilities.** Large capabilities route to the framing backlog; only *small* capabilities take the enhancement lane (`/enrich` → `/finish`), and `/intake` only files the thin candidate — `/enrich` does the enrichment. +- **Does not fabricate a reproduction.** An unreproducible report is surfaced back, not forced into a spec. +- **Does not flip, merge, or label PRs; does not edit ADRs or other cascade artifacts** beyond converting the triage source it was handed. + +## Output modes + +- **Default** → an issue in your planning backend (bug-lane, enhancement-lane candidate, or framing candidate), HITL-gated, provenance cross-linked. +- **`--github`** → a GitHub issue body for a non-planning-backend reporter (printed for placement unless you're told to `gh issue create`). + +## Partial failure handling + +If any external operation — MCP call, Bash CLI (`gh`, `git`, the check task), or Skill invocation — fails or hangs, **stop immediately** and surface the partial state with a per-step status.

Read it now if it isn't already in context. + +**Quick summary of the rubric for orientation** (the rules file is authoritative when in doubt): + +- **Apply** — behavior-preserving fix with concrete evidence of need (defect with a reproducible failing path, factually wrong comment / rot, dead code, defensive addition with concrete evidence, local-symbol rename when fact-based, missing docstring on an entirely-undocumented surface) **or** a low-risk small change (≤ ~15 LOC, confined, no design call required, plausibly an improvement).

Genuine design or taste calls only: the existing form is also fine, a speculative defensive guard with no concrete failing scenario, a suggested abstraction where the rule-of-three isn't yet hit. +- **Defer** — conflicts with an ADR, falls under the PR's `## Out of scope`, or contradicts the framing issue's intentional design. Do not apply; reply with the framing concern named explicitly. +- **Reject** — the reviewer factually misunderstood the codebase, OR a style nit suggested without a strong rationale.

The atomic-commit history is what the reviewer reads to verify each action; bundling defeats that audit surface. + +**Tooling note.** If a comment asks for a local-symbol rename or a cross-file refactor, prefer a semantic code-navigation tool (find-references / safe-rename) if your setup provides one, over hand-editing call sites.

The existing structure is also fine here; the alternative is a taste preference and wouldn't improve readability for a future maintainer.` | +| **Defer** | `Deferred — <one-line reason citing ADR / framing / scope>.` Example: `Deferred — this would require revisiting ADR-NNNN. If the project decides to change that architectural decision, that's a new ADR, not a PR-comment fix.` | +| **Reject** | `<one-line dismissal>.` Example: `The reviewer's claim that this function writes to <system X> is incorrect — it only writes to <system Y> per docs/STANDARDS.md § <relevant contract>.` | + +Use the GitHub PR review reply API (or `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$1/comments/<comment-id>/replies`). One reply per thread. + +**For top-level / summary comments** that don't tie to a specific line, post a top-level PR comment that addresses each finding raised in the summary by quoting it briefly. + +**Cite the commit SHA explicitly** in every Apply / Apply-with-care reply.
