Ca Chore Agent Skill
Sanctioned lane for non-behavioral work — docs-only edits, dependency bumps, reverts. Type-scaled gates; no TDD demanded of prose.

5 sections, as written by the author/ca-chore — non-behavioral change lane
The sanctioned path for work that has no behavioral surface to test-drive. Three types, each with
the gates that fit it — and nothing it doesn't need. Everything still exits through commit-gate
(classification docs / chore / revert) and lands via branch/PR.
Types
docs — README, comments, CHANGELOG, .codearbiter/ prose, typo fixes.
- Gates: secrets scan over the diff; diff review (no behavioral code change smuggled in);
anti-slop copy pass on any user-facing doc in the change; commit-gate.
- Anti-slop copy pass — for any user-facing doc the change touches (repo-root community docs
and docs/**; not codeArbiter's own framework bodies), load
<plugin-root>/includes/anti-slop-design/INDEX.md, then core.md and the
medium-documents leaf (§7.A.1), and run the §3.A em-dash ban and the §3.B copy self-audit over
the authored prose before commit-gate. The H-13 PostToolUse reminder surfaces §3.A separator
dashes as you write, so the pass is a confirmation, not a discovery.
- No
tdd— prose has no failing test to write.
deps — bump an existing dependency's version (manifest + lockfile together, never one without
the other).
- Gates: dispatch
dependency-reviewer(same vetting as/ca-add-dep— license, provenance,
supply chain, changelog of the bump); full test suite green after the bump; commit-gate.
- A bump that requires code changes to adopt is not a chore — route the code change through
/ca-feature or /ca-fix.
revert — back out a named commit.
- Gates:
git revert <SHA>(never hand-edited backout); full suite green after the revert; the
commit message references the reverted SHA and the reason; commit-gate.
- No new regression test demanded — the revert restores already-tested behavior. If the revert is
fixing a defect the suite missed, open /ca-fix afterward to pin it.
Flow
- Classify
$ARGUMENTSinto one of the three types. Anything with a behavioral code change beyond
a mechanical revert is NOT a chore — redirect to /ca-feature or /ca-fix and stop.
- Run the type's gates above.
- Exit through
commit-gatewith the matching classification, then
finishing-a-development-branch as usual.
Hard gate
MUST reject a change containing behavioral code (beyond the revert itself) — that is /ca-feature
or /ca-fix territory. MUST keep manifest and lockfile changes in the same commit for deps.
MUST run the full suite for deps and revert. MUST run the anti-slop copy pass on any user-facing
doc a docs change authors or edits. Never skips commit-gate.
When NOT to use
- Any new or changed behavior →
/ca-feature//ca-fix. - Adding a NEW dependency →
/ca-add-dep. - Restructuring code →
/ca-refactor.

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code - write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass; ensures tests actually verify behavior by requiring failure first
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment - applies TDD to process documentation by testing with subagents before writing, iterating until bulletproof against rationalization
Rules for writing and reviewing tests in the Remotion repository. Use whenever adding, editing, or reviewing tests, especially for Studio UI, rendering, CLI, server, media, and cross-package changes, to prefer complete integration workflows over narrow helper tests and implementation details.
