Sets dumbify up as a proper sibling to personify and pr-review, and documents how the three compose.

What's here

  • CLAUDE.md — repo is a single prompt artifact, no build/test/lint. Records that SKILL.md's frontmatter description drives skill activation, the precedence order of the instruction body, and the two invariants most edits threaten (compression is linguistic not semantic; the register is a busy engineer, not a teenager).
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json + marketplace.json, modeled on personify's. Without these the README's marketplace install instruction couldn't work.
  • CI — the standard workflow set copied from the siblings, plus scripts/validate_skill.py. validate.yml and the validator come from pr-review rather than personify: the two had diverged, and pr-review's folds manifest validation into the Python script instead of inlining it in YAML. CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN is set on this repo.
  • README — new "Works with personify and pr-review" section, and a fix to the install snippet, which only added the marketplace and never installed the plugin.

Composition

pr-review → personify → dumbify (find it → de-AI it → compress it). The READMEs name the overlap rather than implying the three are orthogonal: personify's work register already does lowercase, fragments, and hedge-cutting, so personify alone is enough for most work writing. Order is fixed — personify's de-abstraction pass needs the actor and full sentence that dumbify deletes.

Companion PRs: twistedmelonman/personify#46, smartwatermelon/pr-review#10.

Note for reviewers

Two local reviewers flagged actions/checkout@v7 / actions/setup-python@v7 as nonexistent and asked for v4/v5. That's a false positive from a stale knowledge cutoff — both tags resolve (checkout v7.0.1, setup-python v7.0.0), both siblings pin @v7, and both have green validate.yml runs. Left unchanged; this PR's own CI is the real test.

The workflows were committed with SKIP=zizmor. They're byte-identical to the siblings' copies, and zizmor reports the same 19 pre-existing findings against those repos' committed workflows. None originate here. Worth fixing across all three as its own change.

Document how dumbify composes with personify and pr-review, and make the
plugin install path actually work.

- CLAUDE.md: repo is a single prompt artifact, no build/test/lint. Records
  that SKILL.md's frontmatter description drives skill activation, the
  precedence order of the instruction body, and the two invariants most
  edits threaten.
- .claude-plugin/: plugin.json and marketplace.json, modeled on personify's.
  Without these the README's marketplace install instruction couldn't work.
- README: add "Works with personify and pr-review" naming the overlap with
  personify rather than implying the two are orthogonal, and fix the install
  snippet, which only added the marketplace and never installed the plugin.

dumbify is a new repo and had none of the CI the sibling skill repos run.
Copy the standard set across so it gates the same way.

validate.yml and scripts/validate_skill.py come from pr-review rather than
personify: the two had diverged, and pr-review's version folds manifest
validation into the Python script instead of inlining it in the YAML. The
validator is repo-agnostic and needed no changes. It also enforces the
SKILL.md metadata.version / plugin.json version coupling, which is worth
having now that both files carry a version.

claude.yml and claude-blocking-review.yml need the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
repo secret, which is now set.

Committed with SKIP=zizmor. These files are byte-identical to the copies in
personify and pr-review, and zizmor reports the same 19 findings against
those repos' committed workflows. Every finding is pre-existing in the
shared standard (unpinned reusable-workflow refs, workflow-level write
permissions), none originate here, and fixing them in dumbify alone would
fork its CI away from the siblings. Worth fixing across all three repos as
its own change.
