Align the multi-file warning with Contract rule 1.
Contract rule 1 allows a small change to touch about two files. This warning excludes any multi-file change. A two-file mechanical change therefore qualifies under one rule and is excluded by another. Refer to changes beyond rule 1’s file-count limit instead.
Suggested wording

[error] 3: [AS1] Agent Config Directory Access: Skill reads from agent configuration directories (.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/). These directories may contain API keys, personal settings, and other credentials that the skill has no legitimate need to access.
Remediation: Remove all code or instructions that access agent configuration directories (.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/). If configuration values are needed, pass them explicitly as parameters or environment variables — never read the agent's own config files.

Item #354.
PM mode said "never implement directly" and listed "implementing the fix yourself because it's small" as a mistake ("PM mode has no size exception"). In practice a dispatch of a trivial fix costs far more than the fix and can silently no-op: PR #890's
cargo fmtfix took two dispatches, and the first exited 0 having done nothing, because a dispatched agent builds its task from the item description, not from a comment posted before dispatch.Change. PM mode still delegates by default, but the manager makes small changes itself. A change is small only if ALL hold: mechanical or unambiguous (formatting, rename, typo, docs, a config value, a one-line fix whose correct form is not in question), about 2 files or fewer and ~30 changed lines, no design decision or new behavior; verifiable locally in minutes (
cargo fmt --all --check, the exact CI clippy command, the targeted tests); and not security-sensitive, destructive, or in claim/lease/dispatch/auth/protocol code. A small change is still real work: claimed worktree on a branch (never master), PR, CI, reported as "done directly (small)". If a dispatched agent already failed to land a small fix once, do it directly. When unsure, dispatch.Files.
.claude/skills/pm/SKILL.md(frontmatter description, the two-arms bullet, Part 2 intro, Contract rule 1, Common mistakes: the old "no size exception" bullet is replaced by two),src/hook.rs(the per-turn "PM MODE ACTIVE" reminder),.claude/commands/pm.md(bare /pm step 1). The skill is embedded viainclude_str!incrates/skill-registry/src/builtin.rs, so no other wiring.Verified locally:
cargo fmt --all --checkclean; CI's exact clippy (--locked --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic) clean; pm (20+2), hook (33+12), builtin (12+3), nudge_pace (12) tests pass. No test asserts this wording. The threshold ("~2 files / ~30 lines") is my judgement, not measured; tune it after use.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
