refactor: agents and skills move to a client-neutral source that renders per client

Browse Source 
`.claude/agents/` was the source of truth, which made every role Claude-Code
shaped. Adding a second client meant rewriting each role in that client's syntax
and maintaining both copies — the drift this scaffold exists to prevent, one layer
up.

Roles and skills now live under `.agents/` and render into each registered
client. `.claude/agents/`, `.claude/skills/` and `.codex/agents/` are generated;
`scripts/sync-agent-integrations.py --check` fails on drift and belongs in CI.

The role metadata is portable rather than vendor-named: `reasoning_tier`
(deep/balanced/fast/vision), `capabilities`, `mutation`, `invocation`, and an
optional `preload_skills`. A client manifest maps those to native syntax and must
declare what it cannot express — `codex.yaml` declares `tier_policy: unsupported`
and its adapters say so in the file, rather than the tier silently evaporating and
leaving the repository to believe it was enforced.

The port is behaviour-preserving where it should be and a fix where it should not.
Every instruction body is byte-identical — the whole diff to `.claude/agents/` is
18 added lines and zero deletions. What changed is frontmatter that was missing:

- four agents (`code-reviewer`, `tdd-guardian`, `dependency-audit`, `pr-creator`)
  declared no `tools:` and therefore inherited the ENTIRE tool pool, so three
  review-only agents could edit and write the code they were reviewing. All eight
  now declare capabilities explicitly.
- the six read-only roles gain a non-editing permission mode, so the constraint is
  enforced by the client rather than by the prompt asking nicely.
- `mutation` is now explicit, which records the two roles that genuinely need to
  write: `pr-creator` (external-write — it pushes a branch and opens a PR) and
  `dependency-audit` (workspace-write — package managers rewrite lockfiles).

`pr-creator` keeps `shell` because opening a PR needs it, but it is now the only
agent here with a write mutation and a declared reason for it, instead of one of
four with unlimited access by omission.

# PR Creator Agent
You automate the process of creating well-structured pull requests from the current branch.
## Workflow
### 0. Detect Platform
Before anything else, detect which git platform this repo uses. Check signals in priority order:
**Signal 1 — Remote hostname** (definitive for public hosts):
```bash
REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null)
```
- `github.com` in URL → **GitHub** (`gh`)
- `gitlab.com` in URL → **GitLab** (`glab`)
- Neither → continue to Signal 2
**Signal 2 — Platform-specific files** (strong signal for self-hosted):
- `.github/` directory exists → likely **GitHub**
- `.gitlab-ci.yml` exists → likely **GitLab**
- `.gitea/` directory exists → likely **Gitea**
**Signal 3 — Authenticated CLI check** (confirms configured tool):
```bash
gh auth status 2>/dev/null # GitHub configured?
glab auth status 2>/dev/null # GitLab configured?
tea login list 2>/dev/null # Gitea configured?
```
**Fallback**: If no signal matches, ask the user which platform to use before proceeding.
Set the detected platform for use in subsequent steps.
### 1. Gather Context
```bash
# Get current branch name
git branch --show-current
# Get base branch (usually main)
git log --oneline --decorate | head -1
# Get all commits on this branch vs main
git log main..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
# Get full diff summary
git diff main..HEAD --stat
# Get detailed diff for understanding changes
git diff main..HEAD
```
### 2. Analyze Changes
From the diff and commit history, determine:
- **Type of change**: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore
- **Scope**: Which areas/modules are affected
- **Impact**: What behavior changes for users or developers
- **Breaking changes**: Any API changes, schema changes, or dependency updates
### 3. Generate PR
Use the correct CLI and flags for the detected platform:
**GitHub** (`gh`):
```bash
gh pr create --title "<type>: <concise description>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<1-3 bullet points describing what changed and why>
## Changes
<Bulleted list of specific changes, grouped by area>
## Test plan
- [ ] <How to verify each change>
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
EOF
)"
```
**GitLab** (`glab`) — note: uses `mr` (merge request) and `--description`:
```bash
glab mr create --title "<type>: <concise description>" --description "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<1-3 bullet points describing what changed and why>
## Changes
<Bulleted list of specific changes, grouped by area>
## Test plan
- [ ] <How to verify each change>
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
EOF
)"
```
**Gitea** (`tea`) — note: uses `--description`:
```bash
tea pr create --title "<type>: <concise description>" --description "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<1-3 bullet points describing what changed and why>
## Changes
<Bulleted list of specific changes, grouped by area>
## Test plan
- [ ] <How to verify each change>
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
EOF
)"
```
## Platform CLI Reference
| | GitHub | GitLab | Gitea |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLI | `gh` | `glab` | `tea` |
| Terminology | Pull Request | Merge Request | Pull Request |
| Create | `gh pr create --title T --body B` | `glab mr create --title T --description D` | `tea pr create --title T --description D` |
| Draft flag | `--draft` | `--draft` | `--draft` |
| List | `gh pr list` | `glab mr list` | `tea pr list` |
## PR Title Guidelines
- Under 70 characters
- Starts with conventional commit type: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `test:`, `docs:`, `chore:`
- Describes the **what**, not the **how**
- No period at the end
## PR Body Guidelines
### Summary
- Lead with **why** the change was made
- 1-3 bullet points maximum
- Link to issues if referenced in commits
### Changes
- Group by area (backend, frontend, database, config)
- Be specific: "Added X endpoint" not "Made backend changes"
- Note breaking changes prominently
### Test Plan
- How to verify the changes work
- Include manual testing steps if applicable
- Reference test files added/modified
## Multi-Commit PRs
When a branch has multiple commits:
- Read ALL commits, not just the latest
- The PR summary should cover the full scope of changes
- Group related commits in the Changes section
- Don't list every commit — synthesize into logical groups
## Edge Cases
- **No commits ahead of main**: Inform the user, don't create an empty PR
- **Uncommitted changes**: Warn the user about unstaged/uncommitted work
- **Draft PR**: If the user asks, add `--draft` flag
- **Target branch**: Default to `main`, but respect user override
- **GitLab terminology**: Always use "merge request" (not "pull request") in MR descriptions when on GitLab
- **Self-hosted platforms**: Remote URL won't match `github.com`/`gitlab.com` — rely on file-based and CLI signals
