docs(references): daily intelligence update 2026-04-18#44
Conversation
…sue assignment Relocate aw-daily, gh-aw-report skills and all commands from top-level directories to .claude/skills/ and .claude/commands/ per correct plugin layout. Update all internal path references across workflow, SKILL.md files, and CLAUDE.md. Add assign-to-agent safe-output to daily-intelligence workflow so issues created in Phase 5 are automatically assigned to Copilot for implementation.
- Update gh-aw-architecture.md: MCP Gateway v0.1.9 → v0.2.24 - Add AWF version v0.25.24 to gh-aw-architecture.md - Add SideRepoOps context (workflowRepo/eventRepo) to architecture - Add resolved 'Redact secrets in logs' gotcha to production-gotchas.md - Add set_issue_fields, resolve_review_thread tools to tools-reference.md - Add copilot, pull_request_granular, issues_granular toolsets to tools-reference.md - Add list_commits path/since/until parameters to tools-reference.md - Update knowledge-base.md with 2026-04-18 findings - Add intelligence report outputs/gh-aw-reports/2026-04-18.md Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
This PR updates the aw-author plugin’s daily intelligence pipeline and reference docs to reflect recent gh-aw / GitHub MCP Server changes, while also consolidating the aw-daily + gh-aw-report skill/command sources under .claude/.
Changes:
- Move/standardize gh-aw-report + aw-daily skills and commands to the
.claude/tree (removing legacyskills/gh-aw-report,skills/aw-daily, and severalcommands/*files). - Update the daily-intelligence workflow to add the
assign-to-agentsafe-output and recompile the workflow lock/config artifacts. - Refresh reference documentation and outputs: new MCP toolsets/tools notes, a production gotcha entry, and a new dated intelligence report.

The reference file paths listed here include a duplicated .claude/.claude/ prefix, which does not exist in the repo and will cause the agent to fail when it tries to read these files (e.g., for gap analysis and query library). Update these paths to the correct .claude/skills/... locations.

This command still points to skills/gh-aw-report/..., but the gh-aw-report skill/KB live under .claude/skills/gh-aw-report/... in this PR. Update these paths so /aw-status can actually read the knowledge base and architecture reference.

| - **AWF (Actions Workflow Framework)**: Default version **v0.25.24** (as of 2026-04-18) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
AWF is described here as "Actions Workflow Framework", but elsewhere in this repo AWF consistently refers to "Agent Workflow Firewall". Please align the expansion/definition (or rename the component being version-tracked) to avoid confusion about what v0.25.24 refers to.

The knowledge base guidance says to mark superseded info with [SUPERSEDED by YYYY-MM-DD], but this entry uses a non-standard [SUPERSEDES ...] note on the new fact. Use the documented [SUPERSEDED by ...] marker (typically applied to the older entry being replaced) so supersession is consistent and machine-detectable.

AWF is expanded here as "Actions Workflow Framework", but other repository docs use AWF to mean "Agent Workflow Firewall". Please clarify/align the acronym in the report to prevent readers from confusing firewall versioning with any other framework component.

AWF is expanded here as "Actions Workflow Framework", but other docs in this repo use AWF as "Agent Workflow Firewall" (e.g., frontmatter schema and workflow runtime). Please align the acronym expansion here to avoid conflicting definitions in the knowledge base.

Resolve conflicts from develop catching up after feature branch was cut: - Use 1.3.2 version from develop (vs 1.3.1 in feature branch) - Fix double .claude/ path bug in daily-intelligence.md reference section - Accept develop's lock.yml (assign_to_agent removed, correct frontmatter hash) - Accept develop's actions-lock.json (retain setup-cli entry) - Accept file deletions for skills/ moved to .claude/ layout - Merge architecture file: HEAD 2026-04-18 content + Companion Projects table + detailed Claude Code section from develop
