Summary

What Changed

Adds a new KB guideline (shared-config-packages.md) documenting the shared-config-package pattern (one config package per lint/format/type concern, per-type overrides for backend/frontend/shared-lib, tools/* as pair's own reference implementation), and extends the pair-capability-setup-gates skill with a new provisioning step that installs shared configs and husky pre-commit/pre-push hooks (husky = KB default per D21/Q11, adoption-overridable, idempotent, degrades gracefully for non-JS projects). Cross-links added from eslint.md, the guideline README, way-of-working.md, and two docs-site pages (guidelines-catalog.mdx, team-setup.mdx).

Why This Change

So every bootstrapped pair project starts with centralized, consistent lint/format/type tooling instead of hand-rolled, drifting per-workspace configs (R7.1).

Story Context

User Story: As a team bootstrapping a pair project, I want the shared lint/format config guideline + setup-gates provisioning (per-type overrides, husky pre-commit hook, pre-push lint) so that every pair project starts with centralized, consistent quality tooling (R7.1).
Acceptance Criteria: AC1 (guideline documents the pattern with tools/* example), AC2 (setup-gates provisions configs + husky hooks, D21/Q11 default, adoption-overridable), AC3 (freshly bootstrapped project's lint passes out of the box) — see Definition of Done section below for coverage status.

Changes Made

Implementation Details

• Change 1: New guideline shared-config-packages.md — generic pattern (5 rules), per-type override table, tools/* reference-implementation table with verified inline tsconfig/eslint.config.cjs examples, Hooks section (husky default + override), Non-JS/Polyglot degradation section.
• Change 2: setup-gates SKILL.md — Step 1.3 detection (existing shared configs / hook manager on disk), new Step 5 "Provision Shared Lint/Format Config + Hooks" (skip-if-present, per-concern provisioning, hook-manager selection order: on-disk detection → adoption override → husky default, edge cases for conflicting config / non-JS), old Step 5 (Record Decision) renumbered to Step 6.
• Change 3: Fix-up commit (9277918) corrected an initial Step 5.3 bug where husky was chosen unconditionally instead of deferring to Step 1.3's on-disk detection; also fixed markdownlint-check bin vs mdlint:check script-alias terminology, and added the eslint.md → shared-config-packages.md forward link.
• Change 4: way-of-working.md dataset fixture gained "Hook manager" and "Shared config packages" adoption bullets; docs site (guidelines-catalog.mdx, team-setup.mdx) updated to point at the new guideline and the /pair-capability-setup-gates automation path.

Files Changed

• Modified: packages/knowledge-hub/dataset/.skills/capability/setup-gates/SKILL.md, .../code-design/quality-standards/README.md, .../code-design/quality-standards/eslint.md, .../adoption/tech/way-of-working.md, apps/website/content/docs/reference/guidelines-catalog.mdx, apps/website/content/docs/tutorials/team-setup.mdx
• Added: packages/knowledge-hub/dataset/.pair/knowledge/guidelines/code-design/quality-standards/shared-config-packages.md
• Deleted: N/A

Database Changes

N/A — no database in scope.

API Changes

N/A — no API surface touched.

Testing

Test Coverage

• Unit Tests: N/A — documentation/skill-content change; no automated test targets KB markdown or SKILL.md content.
• Integration Tests: N/A
• End-to-End Tests: Existing website e2e suite covers docs-site rendering (see Test Results); no new e2e added for this change specifically.
• Manual Testing: Every factual claim in shared-config-packages.md (bin names, tsconfig extends targets, per-workspace overrides) was verified against the real tools/*/package.json and consuming workspaces' config files — no discrepancies found. The story's own DoD item "Bootstrap test on a fixture repo (hooks fire, lint green)" was not executed — no fixture-repo artifact exists anywhere in the repo (see Detailed Comments / Follow-up Work).

Test Results

Test Suite: ✅ Passing (pnpm quality-gate — ts:check, test, lint, prettier:fix, mdlint:fix, hygiene:check, docs:staleness — all green)
Coverage: N/A (docs-only diff; no new source files)
Performance Tests: N/A
Security Scan: ✅ No issues (docs-only diff)
Linting: ✅ Clean (markdownlint + prettier clean)

Testing Strategy

• Happy Path: N/A (no runtime code path)
• Edge Cases: SKILL.md documents "existing conflicting config" and "non-JS project" edge cases; neither exercised by an executed test.
• Error Handling: N/A
• Performance: N/A

Quality Assurance

Code Quality Checklist

• Content follows established KB guideline conventions (structure mirrors sibling files in quality-standards/)
• Every concrete claim (bin names, preset files, consumption mechanism) cross-checked against tools/*/package.json and consuming workspaces
• No debugging artifacts left behind
• Hook-manager default decision (D21/Q11) is cited in three places (guideline, SKILL.md, way-of-working.md) but is not backed by a discoverable ADR/ADL in .pair/adoption/tech/adr/ or adl/, nor by anything in parent Epic Code Quality & Testing foundations #209's body — see Detailed Comments.

Review Areas

• Business Logic: N/A (no executable business logic)
• Code Structure: guideline/SKILL.md structure is coherent and consistent with sibling docs
• Security: N/A — docs-only diff
• Testing: fixture-bootstrap QA (story DoD item) not delivered — see below

Deployment Information

Environment Impact

• Development: Ready — content is immediately usable by /pair-capability-setup-gates
• Staging: N/A — no staging environment for this repo
• Production: Docs-site changes will render once merged/deployed via the existing website pipeline
• Configuration: N/A

Deployment Notes

• Database Migration: N/A
• Configuration Changes: N/A
• Feature Flags: N/A
• Dependencies: None added — no package.json changes in this diff

Rollback Plan

Revert the PR — all changes are additive documentation/skill-content; no migrations or runtime state to unwind.

Breaking Changes

API Breaking Changes

N/A

Integration Breaking Changes

N/A — setup-gates's new Step 5 is additive; existing Steps 1–4 behavior (now step-shifted by one) is preserved, only the "Record Decision" step number changed (5→6), which is an internal skill-doc reference, not a consumer-facing contract.

Migration Guide

N/A

Documentation

Documentation Updates

• README: quality-standards/README.md — new guideline indexed in both lists
• API Documentation: N/A
• User Documentation: guidelines-catalog.mdx, team-setup.mdx updated
• Technical Documentation: eslint.md forward link, way-of-working.md adoption bullets

Knowledge Sharing

• Technical Decisions: husky-as-default hook manager decision cited (D21/Q11) — traceability gap noted below
• Learning Notes: N/A
• Best Practices: shared-config-package pattern documented generically before the concrete tools/* walkthrough

Performance Impact

N/A — documentation/skill-content only, no runtime code paths added or changed.

Security Considerations

N/A — no code, no inputs, no secrets touched. Docs-only diff.

Accessibility

N/A — no UI changes (docs-site MDX prose changes only, using existing site components).

Risk Assessment

Technical Risks

Risk	Impact	Probability	Mitigation
Installed .claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md mirror in this repo was not updated alongside the dataset source	Medium	High (confirmed)	Sync the mirror in a follow-up commit before this repo's own agents rely on the new provisioning step
No executed fixture-bootstrap test for AC3 ("lint passes out of the box")	Medium	Medium	Add fixture QA as a follow-up task, or explicitly descope via a recorded decision
D21/Q11 decision not traceable to an ADR/ADL or Epic #209	Low	Medium	Record the hook-manager-default decision formally

Business Risks

Risk	Impact	Probability	Mitigation
Consumers of /pair-capability-setup-gates (external projects installing the KB) are unaffected — only this repo's own dogfooded mirror is stale	Low	Low	No action needed for external consumers; only affects this repo's self-use of the skill until synced

Reviewer Guide

Review Focus Areas

1. Business Logic Validation: N/A (no business logic)
2. Code Quality Assessment: verify every tools/* claim in shared-config-packages.md against the real packages
3. Technical Implementation: verify Step 5.3's on-disk-detection-before-default ordering in SKILL.md is coherent (previously buggy, fixed in 9277918)

Testing the Changes

git checkout feature/#232-shared-lint-format-config
pnpm install
pnpm quality-gate
pnpm smoke-tests
pnpm --filter @pair/website e2e

Key Test Scenarios

1. Scenario 1: Read shared-config-packages.md, cross-check the tools/* reference table against tools/*/package.json.
2. Scenario 2: Read SKILL.md Step 5, confirm Step 5.3 defers to Step 1.3 detection before defaulting to husky.
3. Scenario 3: Confirm .claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md (installed mirror) — check whether it reflects the new Step 5 (it does not, as of this diff).

• Request Changes - Issues must be addressed before merge
• Comment Only - Feedback provided, no blocking issues

Key Changes Summary

New KB guideline shared-config-packages.md documents the shared-config-package pattern (per-type overrides, tools/* reference implementation). pair-capability-setup-gates SKILL.md gains a Step 1.3 detection check + new Step 5 provisioning step (shared configs + husky hooks, D21/Q11 default, adoption-overridable, idempotent). Cross-links added from eslint.md, guideline README, way-of-working.md, and two docs-site pages. All content verified factually accurate against the real tools/* packages and consuming workspaces.

Business Value Validation

Delivers on R7.1 (centralized, consistent quality tooling at bootstrap) for the documentation half. The provisioning half is implemented only in the not-yet-distributed dataset source — see Critical Issues.

Code Review Checklist

Functionality Review

• Requirements Met — AC1 fully met. AC2 met in the dataset source only (see below). AC3 not verified by an executed check.
• Business Logic — Step 5.3's hook-manager selection correctly defers to Step 1.3 on-disk detection before defaulting to husky (verified — this was the bug fixed in commit 9277918, confirmed genuinely present and coherent on current branch state).
• Integration — cross-links (eslint.md→guideline, README indices, way-of-working.md, docs site) all resolve correctly.
• Error Handling — N/A, no executable code.
• Performance — N/A.
• User Experience — see Critical Issues: the skill this repo's own agents actually invoke does not yet reflect the new capability.

Code Quality Assessment

• Readability — guideline structure (generic pattern → per-type table → reference table → hooks → non-JS degradation) is clear and mirrors sibling KB docs.
• Maintainability — well-organized, follows existing guideline conventions.
• Naming — consistent with existing tools/* naming.
• Complexity — appropriate for a documentation change.

Technical Standards Compliance

• Style Guide — markdownlint/prettier clean (quality-gate green).
• Architecture — breaks an established repo convention (see Critical Issues below).
• Dependencies — none added; no package.json changes in this diff.

Security Review

N/A — docs-only diff, no inputs, no secrets, no code paths.

Testing Review

Test Coverage Assessment

• Unit Tests — N/A (documentation/skill-content, no test harness targets SKILL.md/KB markdown).
• Manual/Fixture Testing — story's own DoD item "Bootstrap test on a fixture repo (hooks fire, lint green)" was not executed. Confirmed via repo-wide search: no qa/ entries, no fixture directories, no script anywhere invokes /pair-capability-setup-gates or asserts hook/lint behavior. AC3 is therefore unverified by any test artifact — it rests entirely on the SKILL.md prose being correct.

Testing Feedback

pnpm quality-gate:                  ✅ PASS (ts:check, test, lint, prettier:fix, mdlint:fix, hygiene:check, docs:staleness)
pnpm smoke-tests:                   ✅ PASS (all scenarios)
pnpm --filter @pair/website e2e:    ✅ PASS (35/35 tests)

Documentation Review

• Every factual claim in shared-config-packages.md (bin names, tsconfig extends targets, per-workspace overrides) cross-checked against the real tools/ts-config, tools/eslint-config, tools/prettier-config, tools/markdownlint-config packages and apps/pair-cli, apps/website, packages/brand config files — no discrepancies found.
• Cross-links resolve: eslint.md → shared-config-packages.md, guideline README.md (both lists), way-of-working.md → guideline, docs-site pages.
• Related-links targets (linting-tools.md, prettier-formatting.md, automation.md, ADR-006) all exist.

Detailed Review Comments

Positive Feedback

What's Done Well:

• The shared-config-packages.md reference-implementation table is verified byte-for-byte accurate against the real tools/*/package.json files and every consuming workspace's tsconfig.json/eslint.config.cjs — no hand-waving, every claim checks out.
• The Step 5.3 hook-manager-detection bug (unconditional husky default overriding an already-detected non-husky manager) was correctly identified and fixed in a follow-up commit (9277918); the fix is genuinely present and coherent — Step 5.3 now reads "Check Step 1.3 first" before falling back to the husky default.
• Non-JS/Polyglot degradation path is thoughtfully specified (documents pattern generically, points to ecosystem equivalent, skips file generation) rather than silently failing.
• Issue Shared lint/format config guideline + setup-gates provisioning #232's own body already self-documents the two gaps below with unusual precision (see T-2/T-3 "Gap found" notes) — the author's own tracking is transparent about what's incomplete, which materially sped up this review.

Issues to Address

Critical Issues ⚠️

Must fix before merge:

• .claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md — This repo's own installed skill mirror (the one this repo's agents actually invoke, per pair-cli's canonical-target-layout convention) was not updated alongside the dataset source change. Confirmed: git diff main...HEAD -- .claude/skills/ is empty; the file's last touching commit is the v0.4.1 release, and it still shows old Step numbering (no Step 1.3, no Step 5 provisioning, ### Step 5: Record Decision unchanged). Every comparable prior skill-content change in this repo's history (5f8aea5, d7bbd84, and others checked) updates both the dataset path and the .claude/skills/... mirror in the same commit — this PR breaks that established convention. Until synced, invoking /pair-capability-setup-gates in this repo will not provision shared configs or hooks, meaning AC2/AC3 are effectively unimplemented for this repo's own dogfooded use.

Major Issues 🔍

Should fix before merge:

• Fixture-bootstrap QA (story DoD item, AC3) — The story's own Definition of Done ("Bootstrap test on a fixture repo (hooks fire, lint green)") and Testing Strategy ("fixture-repo bootstrap; hook execution test; lint pass check") are not satisfied. Confirmed via repo-wide search: no fixture directory, script, or test anywhere invokes the provisioning step or asserts hook/lint behavior. AC3 ("freshly bootstrapped project's lint passes out of the box") is currently backed only by SKILL.md prose, not an executed check.

Minor Issues 💡

Consider addressing:

• Decision traceability (D21/Q11) — The guideline, SKILL.md, and way-of-working.md all cite "decision D21/Q11" as the authority for husky-as-default. Searched .pair/adoption/tech/adr/, .pair/adoption/tech/adl/, .pair/adoption/decision-log/, and parent Epic Code Quality & Testing foundations #209's body — no discoverable record of D21 or Q11 anywhere in this repo or its PM tool. Per this repo's own rule ("Record decisions — architectural/project decisions MUST be recorded as ADR or ADL"), this cross-cutting default should have a recorded ADL entry rather than only in-guideline citations to identifiers with no traceable source.

Questions ❓

• Is syncing .claude/skills/* mirrors from the dataset source intended to happen automatically at release time (as issue Shared lint/format config guideline + setup-gates provisioning #232's own T-2 notes speculate — "unconfirmed whether that's automatic"), or does it require a manual step per PR as the precedent commits suggest? This affects whether the Critical Issue above should block merge or just requires a fast follow-up before the next release.

Risk Assessment

Technical Risks

Risk	Impact	Probability	Mitigation
Installed skill mirror stale relative to dataset source	Medium	High (confirmed)	Sync .claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md in a follow-up commit
AC3 unverified by executed test	Medium	Medium	Add fixture-bootstrap QA or explicitly descope via recorded decision
D21/Q11 not traceable	Low	Medium	Record via ADL

Business Risks

Risk	Impact	Probability	Mitigation
External KB consumers unaffected (dataset source is correct); only this repo's self-use of the skill is stale until synced	Low	Low	No external action needed

Tech Debt (new, introduced by this diff)

1. Mirror drift — .claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md now diverges from its dataset source of truth; every future dataset-side edit to this skill compounds the drift until synced.
2. Untested AC3 — no fixture-bootstrap harness exists to verify the provisioning step actually produces a lint-green project; this is now a standing gap for any future change to the provisioning logic too, since there's no regression test to catch a break.
3. Untraceable decision citation — D21/Q11 referenced three times in KB content with no backing record; anyone auditing "why husky" later has no paper trail.

Adoption Compliance

Area	Status	Notes
Tech Stack	CONFORMANT	No new dependencies; no package.json changes
Architecture / ADR	NON-CONFORMANT	Hook-manager-default decision (D21/Q11) not recorded as ADR/ADL
Security	CONFORMANT	Docs-only diff, no security surface
Coding Standards	CONFORMANT	markdownlint/prettier clean, guideline structure matches conventions
Infrastructure	CONFORMANT	No infra changes
Skill-distribution convention (installed mirrors match dataset source)	NON-CONFORMANT	.claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md not synced — breaks precedent set by 5f8aea5, d7bbd84, and others

Decision

CHANGES-REQUESTED — one Critical issue (installed skill mirror not synced with the dataset source it's supposed to mirror, breaking this repo's own established convention and leaving AC2/AC3 unimplemented for this repo's dogfooded use) plus one Major issue (AC3's fixture-bootstrap QA never executed, per the story's own DoD). The documentation content itself (shared-config-packages.md, cross-links, docs site) is high quality and fully verified accurate — recommend keeping that as-is and addressing the mirror sync + fixture QA (or a recorded decision to descope the latter) before merge.

Remediation (commit 109fd2b)

Addresses all 3 items raised in the code review for #232.

1. Installed mirror sync (Major — dogfood drift)

.claude/skills/pair-capability-setup-gates/SKILL.md (the copy this repo's own agents actually load) was stale — pre-#232 content, no Step 1.3 detection, no Step 5 provisioning. Synced it with packages/knowledge-hub/dataset/.skills/capability/setup-gates/SKILL.md, applying the standard prefix transform (/record-decision→/pair-capability-record-decision, /bootstrap→/pair-process-bootstrap, /setup-gates→/pair-capability-setup-gates, name: setup-gates→name: pair-capability-setup-gates). Verified byte-for-byte equivalence modulo the prefix transform via diff. /pair-capability-setup-gates invoked in this repo now actually provisions shared configs + husky hooks, matching the dataset source.

2. AC3 fixture-bootstrap QA gap (Major — unverified acceptance criterion)

AC3 ("freshly bootstrapped project, lint runs, passes out of the box") and the story's DoD ("Bootstrap test on a fixture repo — hooks fire, lint green") had no executed check behind them — only the SKILL.md instruction text. Executed a real fixture-bootstrap dry run:

• Scaffolded a fixture project with no pre-existing lint/format config or hooks (mirrors "freshly bootstrapped").
• Provisioned @pair/eslint-config + @pair/prettier-config via the real consumption mechanism (the packages' own bin wrappers, lint.sh/prettier-check.sh/prettier-fix.sh — no mocks or copied config content).
• Confirmed the shared config is genuinely active: introduced a real lint violation (no-var, unused var) → caught with exact rule names; fixed it → lint exits 0; introduced a prettier formatting issue → caught by prettier-check; fixed with prettier-fix → exits 0.
• Installed husky (matching this repo's own reference pattern: core.hooksPath=.husky, .husky/pre-commit + .husky/pre-push).
• Verified hooks actually fire, not just exist: a real git commit with a lint violation was blocked by the pre-commit hook (exit 1, husky's own error message); after fixing, the clean commit succeeded with the hook running lint inline; pre-push (lint + prettier-check) exits 0 on the clean tree.

This is a one-time acceptance dry run (ephemeral fixture, not committed — consistent with how #244's lazy-split scenario was verified by hand-tracing against a concrete fixture rather than adding a permanent test harness for a natural-language skill with no automated execution runtime). AC3 is now backed by an executed result, not just instruction text.

3. Missing D21/Q11 decision record (Minor — dangling citation)

The story's AC2/Business Rules cite "decision Q11" and "D21" for the husky-default-with-override choice, but no ADR/ADL existed — Q11 was only recorded informally in the story's own "Refinement Session Insights" note, and D21 is a different, general KB principle ("Adoption = solo delta") being cited as the rationale, not a husky-specific record. Added .pair/adoption/decision-log/2026-07-08-husky-default-hook-manager.md (Category: Tooling Preference) — documents the husky choice, alternatives considered (lefthook, simple-git-hooks, no-default), and consequences, and explicitly ties it back to D21's convention-over-configuration principle.

Verification

• markdownlint-check on both changed files: PASS.
• docs:staleness check: PASS (33 skills, 8 commands in sync).
• check-broken-links (knowledge-hub, validates the mirror's relative links): PASS, 36/36 tests.
• pnpm ts:check / build: PASS (repo-wide, via pre-push hook).
• Confirmed no unrelated file changes: the pre-push hook's prettier:fix reformatted several files outside this PR's scope that are pure line-wrap noise from Shared lint/format config guideline + setup-gates provisioning #232's branch predating later merges (apps/website/package.json, packages/brand/package.json, and others) — discarded, not part of this commit.

Key Changes Summary

Re-review of commit 109fd2b, verified independently against the actual pushed branch content (not the remediation comment's claims). All three findings from the previous CHANGES-REQUESTED review are resolved.

Independent Verification

Critical → Resolved: installed skill mirror sync

Pulled origin/feature/#232-shared-lint-format-config directly and diffed the two files myself:

diff <(sed 's/pair-capability-record-decision/record-decision/; s/pair-process-bootstrap/bootstrap/; s/pair-capability-setup-gates/setup-gates/' .claude/skills/.../SKILL.md) \
     packages/knowledge-hub/dataset/.skills/capability/setup-gates/SKILL.md
→ identical (0 diff lines)

Step 1.3 detection, Step 5 provisioning (shared configs + husky), edge cases, renumbered Step 6, and the Output Format/Graceful Degradation/Notes updates are all present in the installed mirror, correctly prefix-transformed. check-broken-links (knowledge-hub, 36/36) confirms the mirror's relative links still resolve. This repo's own agents now get the real behavior when invoking /pair-capability-setup-gates.

Major → Resolved: AC3 fixture-bootstrap QA

Re-executed the claimed dry run independently rather than trusting the remediation comment:

• Fixture git history shows exactly one commit (chore: initial fixture) — confirming a second commit attempt (with an injected no-var/unused-var violation) was genuinely rejected by the pre-commit hook and never entered history, not just logged a warning.
• .husky/pre-commit and .husky/pre-push present, -rwxr-xr-x (executable), core.hooksPath = .husky.
• Re-ran lint.sh and prettier-check.sh myself against the fixture's current state: both exit 0.

This is real, reproducible evidence — not just prose — that AC3's claim ("freshly bootstrapped project, lint passes out of the box") holds when the provisioning step described in Step 5 is followed. Reasonable scope for a natural-language skill with no automated execution runtime (consistent with how #244's algorithm was verified via hand-traced fixture rather than a permanent test harness).

Minor → Resolved: D21/Q11 decision traceability

.pair/adoption/decision-log/2026-07-08-husky-default-hook-manager.md exists on the branch, follows the ADL template completely (Date/Status/Category/Context/Decision/Alternatives Considered/Consequences/Adoption Impact), correctly distinguishes Q11 (the husky-specific choice, previously only informally noted in the story body) from D21 (the general "adoption = solo delta" principle it's justified by), and considers real alternatives (lefthook, simple-git-hooks, no-default). No naming collision with the other 2026-07-08-* ADL already on main.

Open Question from previous review

"Is mirror sync automatic at release time, or manual per PR?" — Answered by this remediation itself: manual per PR is the confirmed, working convention (this PR just did it by hand, consistent with 5f8aea5/d7bbd84). No blocker; worth a future backlog item if automation is ever desired, not a gate for this PR.

docs:staleness:                                    ✅ PASS (33 skills, 8 commands in sync)

No unrelated files in the final commit — confirmed the pre-push hook's prettier:fix reformatted several files outside this PR's scope (pure line-wrap noise from files #232's branch inherited before later merges); these were discarded (git checkout --) before pushing, verified via git show 109fd2b --stat.

Skill-distribution convention (installed mirrors match dataset source)	CONFORMANT	Verified via direct diff of both files on the branch
Tech Stack / Security / Infrastructure	CONFORMANT	Unchanged from initial review — no new dependencies, docs-only + one ADL

Tech Debt

All three items from the initial review's "Tech Debt (new, introduced by this diff)" section are closed by this remediation — no new debt introduced.

Decision
