📔 Objective

Adds force-multiplier to bitwarden-delivery-tools — a skill for applying one intent across many targets as N consistent, idempotent, SSH-signed draft PRs across the Bitwarden GitHub enterprise.

The central design principle: the checks are the product. Making the edit is trivial. Making 74 edits provably correct, consistent, and reversible — and being able to prove what was done — is the actual hard part. The skill is built around that proof.

What ships:

  • SKILL.md — a lean 71-line playbook built on a fixed pipeline: SELECT → CHECK YOURSELF → PILOT → FAN-OUT → REPORT → REMEDIATE. The skill never freestyles across the fleet; it compiles any user intent into a structured campaign spec and executes it deterministically.
  • references/campaign-spec.md — generic campaign schema: intent + target selector + recipe + validation + PR spec + safety policy
  • references/finding-targets.md — discovery library keyed by signal type (file-existence, content match, manifest inspection, topic/language filter), grounded in gh ... --owner bitwarden
  • references/pipeline.md — per-stage mechanics: shallow-clone isolation, validation gates, idempotency rules, rate-limit handling, dry-run semantics
  • references/safety-and-self-checks.md — the full checks-and-balances model: three reality-check brackets (before / on one / after), the mandatory pilot gate, the per-target second pass, the reference-check pre-step for destructive recipes
  • examples/workflow-edit.md, examples/npm-to-pnpm.md, examples/settings-json-patch.md — fully-worked campaigns; named-change specifics live here, never in the skill body

The skill is deliberately generic — a compiled engine, not a catalogue. It composes with the existing delivery skills rather than reinventing them: perform-preflight → committing-changes → labeling-changes → creating-pull-request, per target, in that order.

Plugin README updated to include force-multiplier in the Mechanics skill table.

🧪 Testing

Executed end-to-end against a live AppSec remediation: VULN-649[VULN-649] ci: Remove deprecated scan workflow.

  • 130 active repos enumerated; 74 confirmed to carry .github/workflows/scan.yml via per-repo contents API (not flaky code search)
  • Pilot on bitwarden/admin: branch cut, git rm, full diff read line by line, PR spec locked before any fan-out
  • Reference-check pre-step ran across the fleet before any removal (destructive recipe): branch-protection required-status-check query per repo; repos where protection could not be confirmed were held for AppSec/Platform — not auto-removed
  • Fan-out in chunks of ≤10: per-target shallow clone, signal re-verified, idempotency gate, git rm, second-pass diff-shape check (exactly one deleted file — anything more stops that target), secrets-scan, commit, draft PR
  • Commits: authored and signed as Mick Letofsky <mletofsky@bitwarden.com> via Secure Enclave, no Claude attribution

Total human input after confirming the pilot diff: one thumb on Touch ID per commit.

Plugin Validation Summary — bitwarden-delivery-tools

Result: ✅ PASS — no critical, major, or minor issues found. The new force-multiplier skill is well-structured, correctly versioned, and carries a strong built-in security posture. No blocking issues.

Validated at PR head against the changed files in plugins/bitwarden-delivery-tools/.


1. Plugin Validation (plugin-validator)

Check Result
plugin.json manifest (name, semver 2.1.0, required fields) ✅ Valid
Version consistency across plugin.json / marketplace.json / CHANGELOG.md ✅ All 2.1.0
CHANGELOG entry for 2.1.0 (Keep a Changelog format) ✅ Present (CHANGELOG.md:8)
Directory structure / auto-discovery (skills/force-multiplier/SKILL.md) ✅ Compliant
Progressive-disclosure layout (references/, examples/, evals/) ✅ Compliant
All files referenced from SKILL.md exist ✅ All 8 resolve
README.md present and lists the new skill ✅ Present
No unnecessary files (.DS_Store, node_modules, etc.) ✅ Clean
Hardcoded credentials ✅ None found

Note: The repo validation scripts (validate-plugin-structure.sh, validate-marketplace.sh) required shell-exec approval in this environment and were not run directly; every check they perform was verified manually against the underlying files, and all passed.

2. Skill Review (skill-reviewer) — force-multiplier/SKILL.md

Check Result
YAML frontmatter (name, description present & valid) ✅ Valid; name matches directory
Description quality (third-person, specific, ~261 chars) ✅ Strong
Body word count (~1,244 words; target 1,000–3,000) ✅ In range, lean
Writing style (imperative/infinitive, well-organized) ✅ Strong
Progressive disclosure (heavy detail deferred to references/, worked campaigns in examples/) ✅ Textbook
Referenced files exist ✅ All present
Sibling Skill(...) dependencies exist (perform-preflight, committing-changes, labeling-changes, creating-pull-request) ✅ All 4 present
Anti-patterns (vague triggers, bloat, missing examples) ✅ None

Warnings (non-blocking, informational — should-fix at most):

  • [SKILL.md:4] — when_to_use field. Current skill-development guidance leans toward folding trigger phrases into description. The trigger phrases here are excellent but live in a separate when_to_use field. Optional hardening: merge them into description (would land ~480 chars, still under the 500 guideline). The current split is valid and functional — not an error.
  • [SKILL.md:5–6] — argument-hint / allowed-tools frontmatter. These command-style fields are meaningful here (the skill is invoked with arguments and scopes its toolset) and permitted by the repo's own conventions. Flagged only so a loader run confirms the keys are tolerated without warnings.

3. Security Validation (reviewing-claude-config)

Check Result
Committed secrets (API keys, tokens, private keys, high-entropy strings) ✅ None (regex scan clean)
Hardcoded credentials in examples/fixtures ✅ None
settings.local.json committed ✅ N/A — not present
Dangerous command auto-approvals ✅ None — content is documentation/advice, not executable settings
Overly broad file/tool access allowed-tools is appropriately scoped (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Agent + 4 named Skills)
Prompt-injection safety ✅ Explicitly addressed

The skill itself codifies notably strong security practices, which is a positive signal rather than a concern:

  • Untrusted-input handling (CWE-1427) — target content (file bodies, CLAUDE.md, PR templates, CI workflows) is treated as data, never instructions; sub-agents flag rather than obey embedded directives (references/safety-and-self-checks.md:54–61).
  • Least privilege — read to enumerate, write to open draft PRs, never merge; reuses the existing gh session and forbids token injection (safety-and-self-checks.md:68–71).
  • Secrets-scan before every commit with a concrete no-scanner fallback; any hit aborts that target's commit (safety-and-self-checks.md:63–66).
  • Safe-by-default fan-out — draft PRs only, never auto-merge, never force-push, never commit on a default branch; WebFetch/WebSearch forbidden for sub-agents unless genuinely required.
  • [TICKET] / <TICKET> are documented placeholders, explicitly instructed to be substituted with a real key, never committed literally.

Overall Assessment

APPROVE. All three validation passes succeed with zero errors. The manifest, version bump, and changelog satisfy the repo's mandatory versioning policy (2.1.0 consistent across all three required files); the skill follows progressive disclosure cleanly with all referenced files present; and no secrets, dangerous auto-approvals, or broad-access issues were found. The two warnings under Skill Review are optional hardening suggestions, not defects.

No, I did not. I pointed Claude at https://pnpm.io/ website and let it go. I had Claude put a note here in the example. Perhaps in a follow-up commit I'll have it go through the commment e2e and see what comes of it.
