Phase 7 of the Skills + Revisions + Proposals work — documentation
pass for the surface added in PR-1 through PR-6. Reference material
only; no code changes.
## What's added
- `docs/skills.md` — skill model, scoping rules, CLI surface, the
`mcpctl config claude --project` setup flow, metadata schema (with
the deferred-execution note for hooks/mcpServers/postInstall), the
on-disk state file shape, atomic install mechanics, failure
semantics, and what's deferred.
- `docs/revisions.md` — ResourceRevision model, semver auto-bump
rules, contentHash diff key (cross-resource sync), CLI for history
/ diff / restore, RBAC, audit emission, storage growth note.
- `docs/proposals.md` — ResourceProposal model, the reviewer flow
(CLI + web UI), atomic-approval mechanics, the propose_prompt /
propose_skill MCP tools, the propose-learnings global skill that
steers Claude toward engaging with them, and the deferred legacy
PromptRequest cutover.
## What's edited
- Top-level `CLAUDE.md` — resource cheatsheet adds `skill`, `proposal`,
`revision` with cross-references to the new docs. The legacy
`promptrequest` entry stays (still on the legacy code path) but
notes that new work should use `proposal`.
## What's NOT in this PR
- The PromptRequest → ResourceProposal cutover migration. Both run
side-by-side today; the focused cutover PR will rename + backfill +
drop. Keeping that out of PR-7 means review can stay on docs.
- Bundle-backup / `mcpctl apply -f` skill support (deferred from PR-3).
- `metadata.hooks` / `metadata.mcpServers` / `metadata.postInstall`
execution (deferred from PR-5).
- Existing-page UI migration to Tailwind (deferred from PR-6 — old
inline-styled pages coexist fine inside the new Layout).
These are tracked as future PRs; each is its own focused change.
## Verification
`pnpm test:run` whole monorepo: 162 test files / 2157 tests green.

Closes the agents feature.
Smoke tests (run via `pnpm test:smoke` against a live mcpd at
$MCPD_URL, default https://mcpctl.ad.itaz.eu):
* tests/smoke/agent.smoke.test.ts — full CRUD round-trip:
create secret + Llm + agent with sampling defaults; `get agents`
surfaces it; `get agent foo -o yaml | apply -f` round-trips
identically; create + list a thread via the HTTP API; agent delete
leaves Llm + secret intact (Restrict + SetNull as designed). Self-
skips with a warning when /healthz is unreachable.
* tests/smoke/agent-chat.smoke.test.ts — gated on
MCPCTL_SMOKE_LLM_URL + MCPCTL_SMOKE_LLM_KEY. Provisions secret +
Llm + agent against a real upstream, runs `mcpctl chat -m … --no-
stream` (asserts a reply lands), then runs the streaming default
(asserts text on stdout + `(thread: …)` on stderr). The fast path
for verifying the in-cluster qwen3-thinking deployment:
MCPCTL_SMOKE_LLM_URL=http://litellm.nvidia-nim.svc.cluster.local:4000/v1 \
MCPCTL_SMOKE_LLM_MODEL=qwen3-thinking \
MCPCTL_SMOKE_LLM_KEY=$(pulumi config get --stack homelab \
secrets:litellmMcpctlGatewayToken) \
pnpm test:smoke
Docs:
* README.md — new "Agents" section under Resources with the
qwen3-thinking quickstart and links to docs/agents.md and
docs/chat.md. Adds llm + agent rows to the resources table.
* docs/agents.md (new) — full reference: data model, chat-parameter
table, HTTP API, RBAC mapping, tool-use loop semantics, yaml
round-trip shorthand, the kubernetes-deployment wiring recipe,
and a troubleshooting section (namespace collision, llm-in-use,
pending-row recovery, Anthropic-tool limitation).
* docs/chat.md (new) — user-facing `mcpctl chat` walkthrough:
modes, per-call flags, slash-commands, threads, and a
troubleshooting section.
* CLAUDE.md — adds a "Resource types" cheatsheet with one-line
pointers to each, including the new `agent` row that links to
the docs.
All suites still green: mcpd 759/759, mcplocal 715/715, cli 430/430.
Smoke tests typecheck and self-skip when no live mcpd is reachable.
