Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:
* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
`mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
`suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.
* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
`resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
reintroduce the crash.
* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
(mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
catalogue instead of silently losing it.

| clean-architecture | Clean Architecture principles and best practices from Robert C. Martin's book. This skill should be used when designing software systems, reviewing code structure, or refactoring applications to achieve better separation of concerns. Triggers on tasks involving layers, boundaries, dependency direction, entities, use cases, or system architecture. |
Clean Architecture Best Practices
Comprehensive guide to Clean Architecture principles for designing maintainable, testable software systems. Based on Robert C. Martin's "Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design." Contains 42 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by architectural impact.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Designing new software systems or modules
- Structuring dependencies between layers
- Defining boundaries between business logic and infrastructure
- Reviewing code for architectural violations
- Refactoring coupled systems toward cleaner structure
Rule Categories by Priority
| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dependency Direction | CRITICAL | dep- |
| 2 | Entity Design | CRITICAL | entity- |
| 3 | Use Case Isolation | HIGH | usecase- |
| 4 | Component Cohesion | HIGH | comp- |
| 5 | Boundary Definition | MEDIUM-HIGH | bound- |
| 6 | Interface Adapters | MEDIUM | adapt- |
| 7 | Framework Isolation | MEDIUM | frame- |
| 8 | Testing Architecture | LOW-MEDIUM | test- |
Quick Reference
1. Dependency Direction (CRITICAL)
dep-inward-only- Source dependencies point inward onlydep-interface-ownership- Interfaces belong to clients not implementersdep-no-framework-imports- Avoid framework imports in inner layersdep-data-crossing-boundaries- Use simple data structures across boundariesdep-acyclic-dependencies- Eliminate cyclic dependencies between componentsdep-stable-abstractions- Depend on stable abstractions not volatile concretions
2. Entity Design (CRITICAL)
entity-pure-business-rules- Entities contain only enterprise business rulesentity-no-persistence-awareness- Entities must not know how they are persistedentity-encapsulate-invariants- Encapsulate business invariants within entitiesentity-value-objects- Use value objects for domain conceptsentity-rich-not-anemic- Build rich domain models not anemic data structures
3. Use Case Isolation (HIGH)
usecase-single-responsibility- Each use case has one reason to changeusecase-input-output-ports- Define input and output ports for use casesusecase-orchestrates-not-implements- Use cases orchestrate entities not implement business rulesusecase-no-presentation-logic- Use cases must not contain presentation logicusecase-explicit-dependencies- Declare all dependencies explicitly in constructorusecase-transaction-boundary- Use case defines the transaction boundary
4. Component Cohesion (HIGH)
comp-screaming-architecture- Structure should scream the domain not the frameworkcomp-common-closure- Group classes that change togethercomp-common-reuse- Avoid forcing clients to depend on unused codecomp-reuse-release-equivalence- Release components as cohesive unitscomp-stable-dependencies- Depend in the direction of stability
5. Boundary Definition (MEDIUM-HIGH)
bound-humble-object- Use humble objects at architectural boundariesbound-partial-boundaries- Use partial boundaries when full separation is prematurebound-boundary-cost-awareness- Weigh boundary cost against ignorance costbound-main-component- Treat main as a plugin to the applicationbound-defer-decisions- Defer framework and database decisionsbound-service-internal-architecture- Services must have internal clean architecture
6. Interface Adapters (MEDIUM)
adapt-controller-thin- Keep controllers thinadapt-presenter-formats- Presenters format data for the viewadapt-gateway-abstraction- Gateways hide external system detailsadapt-mapper-translation- Use mappers to translate between layersadapt-anti-corruption-layer- Build anti-corruption layers for external systems
7. Framework Isolation (MEDIUM)
frame-domain-purity- Domain layer has zero framework dependenciesframe-orm-in-infrastructure- Keep ORM usage in infrastructure layerframe-web-in-infrastructure- Web framework concerns stay in interface layerframe-di-container-edge- Dependency injection containers live at the edgeframe-logging-abstraction- Abstract logging behind domain interfaces
8. Testing Architecture (LOW-MEDIUM)
test-tests-are-architecture- Tests are part of the system architecturetest-testable-design- Design for testability from the starttest-layer-isolation- Test each layer in isolationtest-boundary-verification- Verify architectural boundaries with tests
