chore: complete t062 research on vercel-labs/agent-skills

[marcusquinn]

Summary

• Researched vercel-labs/agent-skills (19.4k stars, MIT, 5 skills, 27+ compatible tools)
• Evaluated all 3 inclusion criteria from the task notes
• Updated TODO.md with detailed findings and decisions

Research Findings

Evaluation	Decision	Rationale
Import vercel-deploy-claimable	SKIP	Designed for claude.ai/Desktop conversations, not CLI agents. aidevops already has full Vercel CLI integration
Import react-best-practices	CANDIDATE	57 rules across 8 categories would complement code-standards. Follow-up task recommended
Adopt Agent Skills format	ALREADY DONE	aidevops already generates SKILL.md stubs (generate-skills.sh) and imports external skills (add-skill-helper.sh)
Contribute skills back	DEFERRED	aidevops skills use progressive disclosure with subagent folders; consider contributing simpler skills when ecosystem matures

Closes #515

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated internal project documentation and task tracking.
  • Marked a task as completed with expanded integration details.
  • Updated another task status to blocked due to retry limit issues.

Walkthrough

Updated TODO.md task status: t062 (vercel-labs/agent-skills research) marked as completed with comprehensive notes on integration approach and SKILL.md adoption; t071 (voice AI models) marked as blocked due to retry failures.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Task Status Updates TODO.md	Task t062 completed with expanded documentation on vercel-labs/agent-skills integration evaluation (formatting compatibility, SKILL.md adoption, skill set assessment). Task t071 marked BLOCKED due to "Max retries exceeded: clean_exit_no_signal" for voice AI models.

Estimated code review effort

• docs: add Imported Skills section to README #143: Updates README with "Imported Skills" section and references skill-sources.json, aligning with t062's adopted Agent Skills format integration approach
• chore: add TODO t062 to research vercel-labs/agent-skills #88: Originally introduced t062 as a backlog item; this PR marks it as completed with detailed research findings and next steps

Poem

🎯 Agent skills research complete, a path now clear,
SKILL.md format fits just right this year,
Though voice models stall in retry's queue,
The roadmap advances with vision true. 🛠️

In `@TODO.md`:
- Line 267: Replace the cryptic blocker line "BLOCKED: Max retries exceeded:
clean_exit_no_signal" in the TODO entry with a precise, actionable description
that states (1) which operation was retried (e.g., model download, API request,
subprocess run), (2) which component or tool failed (e.g., Qwen3-TTS installer,
Whisper transcription subprocess, HF inference API), (3) how many retries
occurred and any relevant platform/env (e.g., macOS arm64, GPU/no-GPU), and (4)
what "clean_exit_no_signal" means in this context (e.g., subprocess exited with
code 0 but produced no output, or process terminated without signal). For
example, update the BLOCKED line for the Qwen3-TTS task (tools/voice/ or
tools/ai/voice.md references) to: "BLOCKED: Qwen3-TTS installation retry loop
failed after 3 attempts on macOS arm64 - installer subprocess exited cleanly
with no output (clean_exit_no_signal) while downloading wheels" so future
debuggers know operation, component, retries, platform, and interpretation of
the error.

TODO.md (1)

375-375: Track the react-best-practices follow-up as a formal task.

Line 375 mentions "Create follow-up task" for evaluating react-best-practices (57 rules) as a candidate skill import, but no task ID is assigned. To maintain task tracking discipline, add a new task entry (e.g., t154) to the Backlog section.

Example:

- [ ] t154 Evaluate react-best-practices skill from vercel-labs/agent-skills `#research` `#skills` `#code-standards` ~30m (ai:20m read:10m) ref:t062 logged:2026-02-08
  - Notes: 57 rules across 8 categories. Assess overlap with existing code-standards.md. Decide: import via /add-skill, merge into code-standards, or skip.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Clarify the BLOCKED reason with actionable context.

The blocker "Max retries exceeded: clean_exit_no_signal" is cryptic. For future troubleshooting, specify:

• What operation is being retried (model download? API call? subprocess execution?)
• Which component failed (whisper.cpp? qwen-tts? API endpoint?)
• What clean_exit_no_signal indicates

Example: BLOCKED: Qwen3-TTS installation retry loop fails with clean_exit_no_signal after 3 attempts (suspect macOS arm64 compatibility)
