# Handoff: LeGreffier Skill Consolidation — Multi-Diary Model and MCP Tool Rename

## Context

This session continued work on `claude/legreffier-skill-and-hooks` (PR #212).
Since the original handoff (2026-02-16), main had merged several significant
changes: the multi-diary model (diaries as containers for entries, `diary_id`
required on all entry ops), the MCP tool rename (`diary_*` → `entries_*/diaries_*/reflect`),
and the one-shot CLI signing mode (`moltnet sign --request-id`). The branch
needed to catch up and the LeGreffier skill needed to reflect these changes.

Branch: `claude/legreffier-skill-and-hooks`
Supersedes: `2026-02-16-02-legreffier-skill-and-mcp.md`

## What Was Done

### 1. Three merges from origin/main

The branch was ~255 commits behind main across three syncs. Conflicts resolved
identically each time: kept `deriveMcpUrl`/`deriveMCPURL` (correct subdomain
transform `api.* → mcp.*`) vs. naive `apiUrl + "/mcp"`. Journal README merge:
kept our LeGreffier entry row, took main's new entries.

### 2. Skill consolidation — single `/legreffier` command

The three separate skill files (`legreffier.md`, `commit.md`,
`accountable-commit.md`) were replaced by a single consolidated `legreffier.md`
mirroring the authoritative version at `fair-dice/.agents/skills/legreffier/SKILL.md`.

Key changes in the consolidated skill:

- **MCP tool table**: updated to new names (`entries_create`, `diaries_list`, etc.)
- **One-diary-per-repo model**: session activation now calls `diaries_list`,
  finds the diary matching `basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)`, creates
  it if missing, and caches `DIARY_ID` for all entry ops
- **One-shot signing**: `moltnet sign --request-id <id>` fetches+signs+submits
  in a single step; no manual `--nonce` or `crypto_submit_signature` needed
- **`crypto_verify` signature**: now takes only `{ signature }` — server looks
  up the signing request by signature hash

### 3. Deleted superseded skill files

- `.claude/commands/commit.md` — deleted (consolidated into legreffier.md)
- `.claude/commands/accountable-commit.md` — confirmed deleted (was removed in
  a previous session, removal committed)

### 4. Updated PreToolUse hook

`check-legreffier-commit.sh` hint updated from `/commit` to `/legreffier`.

### 5. Added legreffier-flows diagram

`docs/recipes/legreffier-flows.md` — Mermaid flowchart covering all five flows
(Session Activation, Accountable Commit, Semantic Entry, Episodic Entry,
Investigation) with a flow summary table and key rules.

### 6. Updated setup recipe

`docs/recipes/legreffier-setup.md` updated for:

- MCP tool names (`diary_create` → `entries_create`/`diaries_list`)
- `/accountable-commit` → `/legreffier` throughout
- Signing section: `moltnet sign --request-id` one-shot
- `crypto_verify` call: removed wrong params, now just `{ signature }`
- File reference table: removed stale `accountable-commit.md` row
- One-diary-per-repo model noted in commit workflow steps
- Troubleshooting: signing-expired entry updated for new CLI flag

## Decisions Made

- **One diary per repo**: Diaries scope entries naturally by repo name.
  `diaries_list` at session start, match by `basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)`,
  create if absent. Rejected: diary_id in env var (fragile across sessions),
  per-branch diaries (too granular).
- **Single skill file**: One `legreffier.md` covering all flows. Rejected:
  keeping separate files (divergence risk, agent confusion about which to invoke).
- **Advisory hook, not blocking**: Hook provides `additionalContext`, not
  `permissionDecision: "deny"`. Kept from original design — preserves agent
  autonomy for low-risk commits.

## What's Next

1. **Merge PR #212** — all skill, hook, recipe, and flow docs are consistent
2. **Issue #287 — LeGreffier one-command onboarding** (`moltnet legreffier init`):
   sponsor agent, GitHub App manifest flow, DBOS durable workflow, skill
   download from `/public/skills/:name`. This is the main follow-on.
3. **Test the full loop** in a fresh session with LeGreffier active:
   - `/legreffier` → identity check
   - Diary discovery (or creation) for the repo
   - Make medium-risk changes → `/legreffier` accountable commit flow
   - Verify `MoltNet-Diary:` trailer and signed diary entry
4. **Push `fair-dice` SKILL.md** in sync — the consolidated skill was written
   there first; both repos should stay in sync
5. **Blog post** — the setup recipe + flows diagram are ready source material

## Continuity Notes

- `DOTENV_PRIVATE_KEY_MCP` decryption key is in `.env.keys` locally.
- `settings.local.json` may still have old `enabledMcpjsonServers` names —
  update once MCP connection is verified in a fresh session.
- The `fair-dice` SKILL.md at `/Users/edouard/Dev/getlarge/fair-dice/.agents/skills/legreffier/SKILL.md`
  is the authoritative source; `themoltnet/.claude/skills/legreffier/SKILL.md` is a copy.
  Keep them in sync when updating.
