Concise skills rollout: dometrain (3 skills, 1 model-invoked) #6605

Description

@kyle-sexton

Part of #6476. Rewrite dometrain's skills to the skill criteria in one draft PR, following the per-plugin runbook (/playbooks:skill-authoring, reference/rewrite-a-plugin.md). The runbook and the rewrite protocol it cites decide what ships; this issue holds only what is specific to the plugin.

The plugin today

As of origin/main on 2026-10-24:

  • Skills: grounding (model-invoked); setup, sync (user-invoked).
  • Outcome eval case directories under the plugin: 0. Probe files under probes/: 0.
  • Synced skills here change only in their house-owned parts (umbrella decision).

Done when

  • /skill-quality:check plugins/dometrain on the PR head reports no FAIL that the run on main does not.
  • /evals:validate passes on plugins/dometrain's eval suite at the PR head.
  • Each model-invoked skill has a probe file: plugins/dometrain/probes/grounding.json.
  • The PR body holds a per-skill decision table, description and body decided separately, with the before and after numbers behind each row.
  • The PR body names every skill or case left unmeasured, with the reason.
  • The plugin's version or changelog entry is in the PR, per the plugin's release mode.

Eval spend and review

  • Eval passes within prepaid API credit are pre-approved (owner decision Q46, 2026-10-24), at the --max-cost-usd 5 per-pass ceiling set on #6476 on 2026-10-18.
  • No person gates the PR: the owner's 2026-10-24 decision (C12) leaves only an intent mismatch during the build or a security issue at review as stops.
  • Eval cases run without a Dometrain account; a case that needs a live third-party call is named unmeasured in the PR, never run against a paid outside service.

    Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
    Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

    Size: Medium
    Complexity: Medium
    Uncertainty: Knowable
    Flags: none
    Blocked by: none

    Understood: rewrite the three dometrain skills (grounding, setup, sync) to the skill criteria in one draft PR, following the per-plugin runbook. That includes a probe file for grounding, eval validation, a per-skill decision table in the PR body, and a version or changelog entry. The comment from the owner's session says the earlier hold was lifted. The issue gives the eval spend ceiling and says cases run without a Dometrain account. Nothing is missing, and I found no likely duplicates. Class is proposed for a maintainer to confirm.

    Automated triage, applied by the lanes App.

    This was generated by AI during triage.

    Held: per the owner decision on #6476 (2026-10-18), this plugin is in the rollout middle group, which the owner decides after batch 2 reports its numbers. It waits for that decision.

    Released by the owner's HITL session (2026-10-24, C12): it waited only on a removed gate. Intake triage re-runs on it to set its fields, then admission takes it.

    Progress: #11833 merged (9e98502). It adds six outcome eval cases (all graders deterministic) and 19 frozen trigger probes for the dometrain plugin's grounding, setup and sync skills, and widens one grader on review (reports-exit-code). No skill text changed. Its smoke pass was VALID for all six cases, but one smoke pass is a signal, not a measurement.

    This issue stays open. The concise rewrite and its measured passes wait on the eval validity fixes in #11618 and #11628. The frozen suite digest for those runs is 4ae568d1c3 (plugins/dometrain/evals at 65fe908). The claim on this issue is released.

    Progress: the first round of the concise rewrite shipped in #12116 (squash commit c2f9bb1).

    • grounding and setup bodies are shorter. Measured on Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 against the frozen suite from test(dometrain): add outcome eval cases and grounding trigger probes #11833, with no loss.
    • The sync body is unchanged. Its Opus result was decided by a grader defect (sy-check-report-only/reports-exit-code misses a bolded "code 2"). The PR body lists that defect and the other findings.
    • All three descriptions are unchanged.

    This issue stays open for sync. It gets a second measured round after the PR that fixes the suite's graders merges.

    Reopened (lane 3): the #12162 sync body cut failed a retroactive negative control, so it is being reverted.

    The owner's rule (2026-11-02) says a cut ships only if its suite scores a deliberately broken copy clearly below the before version. #12162 merged before that rule existed, so lane 3 ran the control afterwards.

    The broken copy is main's sync body with its check and Output sections emptied. It ran on Sonnet 5.5 against a fresh pass of main's body launched with it, on sy-check-report-only, 5 runs each. Both passes were VALID and no grader missed in any run: 1.000 vs 1.000.

    FAIL. With one case, the rule is decided on the mean drop, which is 0 against the 0.15 required. The suite cannot tell the body from a copy without those sections, so the round-2 result is no evidence the cut was safe.

    A revert PR restores the earlier body. This issue stays open for cases that depend on the check and Output sections. Cost of the control: 0.64 USD (list-price estimate).
