 64f230833c [AI] Add Claude Code skills for docs, commits, and PR review (#7967) 
* [AI] Add Claude Code skills for docs, commits, and PR review

Add three project-scoped skills under .claude/skills/ so any contributor
using Claude Code in this repo gets the same conventions applied
automatically: writing-actual-docs (points Claude at writing-docs.md
before any docs work), committing-actual-changes (points Claude at
pr-and-commit-rules.md before any commit/PR so the [AI] prefix and
template-blank rule are followed), and review-actual-pr (end-to-end
offline PR review with browser testing via playwright-cli, never posts
to GitHub).

All skill paths and tool assumptions are repo-relative (resolved via
git rev-parse --show-toplevel) so they work on any contributor's
machine, not just the author's.

* [AI] Fix remaining hardcoded $HOME path in PR-review playbook

The Step 3 highlight-overlay example still referenced
$HOME/.claude/skills/review-actual-pr/... which only resolves on
the original author's machine. Switch to the same git rev-parse
--show-toplevel pattern used elsewhere in the skill so it works
for any contributor with a checkout of the repo.

* [AI] Add release note for #7967

* [AI] Drop "add AI generated label" instruction now that it auto-applies

The "AI generated" PR label is now applied automatically by GitHub
Actions to any PR whose title starts with [AI], so the manual "add
this label" instruction is stale. It was also misleading for outside
contributors, who cannot apply labels on PRs against this repo
regardless.

Updated the canonical rules file, the committing-actual-changes
skill, and the review-actual-pr code-review rubric to describe the
prefix as the single trigger and note that the label follows
automatically.

* Update Claude Code skills description

Simplified the description of Claude Code skills.

* [AI] Allow cat and mv in PR-review skill's tool allowlist

The workflow saves the final report via `cat > review.md <<'EOF'`
(step 6) and rotates a stale prior report via `mv` (step 2,
re-runs), but the allowed-tools line did not permit either, so
those commands would prompt or fail at runtime. Add Bash(cat:*) and
Bash(mv:*) — keeping the allowlist tight rather than broadening to
Bash(*), so unrelated shell commands still require explicit
authorization.

PR and Commit Rules for AI Agents

This is the single source of truth for all commit and pull request rules that AI agents must follow when working with Actual Budget.

Commit Rules

[AI] Prefix Requirement

ALL commit messages MUST be prefixed with [AI]. This is a mandatory requirement with no exceptions.

Examples:

  • [AI] Fix type error in account validation
  • [AI] Add support for new transaction categories
  • Fix type error in account validation (MISSING PREFIX - NOT ALLOWED)
  • Add support for new transaction categories (MISSING PREFIX - NOT ALLOWED)

Git Safety Rules

  • Never update git config
  • Never run destructive git operations (force push, hard reset) unless the user explicitly requests it
  • Never skip hooks (--no-verify, --no-gpg-sign)
  • Never force push to main/master
  • Never commit unless explicitly asked by the user

Pre-Commit Quality Checklist

Before committing, ensure all of the following:

  • Commit message is prefixed with [AI]
  • yarn typecheck passes
  • yarn lint:fix has been run
  • Relevant tests pass
  • User-facing strings are translated
  • Code style conventions followed (see AGENTS.md for full style guide)

Pull Request Rules

[AI] Prefix Requirement

ALL pull request titles MUST be prefixed with [AI]. This is a mandatory requirement with no exceptions.

Examples:

  • [AI] Fix type error in account validation
  • [AI] Add support for new transaction categories
  • Fix type error in account validation (MISSING PREFIX - NOT ALLOWED)

The "AI generated" label is applied automatically to any PR whose title starts with [AI], so there is nothing extra to do — and outside contributors cannot apply labels anyway.

PR Template: Do Not Fill In

  • NEVER fill in the PR template (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). Leave all blank spaces and placeholder comments as-is. Humans are expected to fill in the Description, Related issue(s), Testing, and Checklist sections.
  • Exception: If a human explicitly asks you to fill out the PR template, then fill it out in Chinese, using Chinese characters (简体中文) for all content you add.

Quick-Reference Workflow

Follow these steps when committing and creating PRs:

  1. Make your changes
  2. Run yarn typecheck — fix any errors
  3. Run yarn lint:fix — fix any remaining lint errors
  4. Run relevant tests (yarn test for all, or workspace-specific)
  5. Stage files and commit with [AI] prefix — do not skip hooks
  6. When creating a PR:
    • Use [AI] prefix in the title (the "AI generated" label is auto-applied based on this prefix)
    • Leave the PR template blank (do not fill it in)
