feat: /recce-analyze + intent routing + Codex parity (M1, M4)#26
Conversation
New commands/recce-analyze.md delivers the one-shot Recce setup + PR impact analysis command. Steps 1-8 cover prerequisites, branch detection, base strategy (recce check-base), target artifacts, MCP server start, four-tool analysis, markdown output, and timing guard. feat(commands): deprecate /recce-setup and /recce-pr in favor of /recce-analyze Adds deprecation blockquotes at the top of both files per design R1 mitigation; existing steps are unchanged. feat(skills): wire 10 canonical trigger phrases to /recce-analyze (M4, AC-5) Updates recce-guide SKILL.md with a 'Canonical Trigger Phrases' subsection listing the 10 phrases that MUST trigger /recce-analyze. Promotes /recce-analyze to primary command; demotes /recce-setup and /recce-pr to 'Legacy commands' subsection. feat(codex): mirror /recce-analyze flow in AGENTS.md for Codex parity (M1, AC-8) Adds '## PR Impact Analysis (One-Sentence Trigger)' section mirroring recce-analyze.md steps 3-7. Same 10 trigger phrases. Pinned convention version comment per R6. test: phrase-fixture routing + merged-bootstrap structure assertions (AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, AC-5, AC-8) Adds pyproject.toml for Python test runner; 15 tests across test_intent_routing.py and test_merged_bootstrap.py; all pass.

Code Review: PR #26 —

The MCP tool-name divergence is the most concerning — at most one is correct.
The test suite is structurally blind to all of this: test_four_mcp_tools_referenced only reads recce-analyze.md; test_stale_base_warning_in_output only reads recce-analyze.md. AGENTS.md drift passes CI invisibly. Fix: resolve the divergences and add a parity test that diffs the relevant strings between the two files.
3. Trigger-phrase auto-execute is too aggressive — AGENTS.md:9-11, mirrored in plugins/recce-quickstart/skills/recce-guide/SKILL.md:24. Phrases like "review my changes", "show me what broke", "compare my branch to main", "what changed vs main" collide with extremely common non-Recce intents in any dbt project (git diff, code review, test failure explanation). With "execute immediately without asking for confirmation", any of these unilaterally fires recce check-base and potentially the multi-minute dbt build (the unsafe dance from ISSUE 1). The "(in dbt project context)" qualifier on "review my changes" doesn't narrow anything — dbt-project context is already the gating predicate. Fix: tighten the phrase list, or insert a single-line Y/N prompt before any branch-mutating step.
4. AC-2 / AC-3 tests are vacuous string-match proxies — tests/test_merged_bootstrap.py:67, :82
assert "120" in text # passes on "120 lines of code"
assert "stale" in text.lower() # passes on "stalemate"Both pass on the procedurally-broken docs_generate path (BLOCKER 1) and on AGENTS.md's truncated warning (ISSUE 2). The docstring acknowledges these are deferred to "cascade-005 E2E suite", but cascade-005 has no commitment date in this PR. AC-2 and AC-3 should not be claimed validated. Cheap fix: tighten to re.search(r'\b120\s*s\b', text) and "Base artifacts are stale" in text. (Note: test_recce_analyze_output_sections at :46 is not vacuous — it checks full section headers and is adequate.)
5. SKILL.md SessionStart suggestion still routes new users to deprecated /recce-setup — SKILL.md:83-87
I notice this is a dbt project! ...
Try `/recce-setup` to get started, or ask me about: ...
The same SKILL.md adds /recce-analyze as the canonical trigger and "primary command" higher up (lines 21-41), but this prose block — which is what a fresh user actually sees on session start — still tells them to run the deprecated command as their first action. Direct consistency failure introduced by this PR. Fix: swap to /recce-analyze in the SessionStart block.
📘 NOTEs
1. recce check-base has no in-procedure fallback — recce-analyze.md:62-66. Until recce#1353 ships, the command fails non-zero; the procedure has no handling for exit≠0, non-JSON stdout, or unknown recommendation. The author has an explicit merge-order plan (recce#1353 first), and the agent can recover gracefully on the fly, so this is a NOTE not a blocker. A one-line fallback ("if recce check-base fails or returns non-JSON, fall back to legacy setup and tell the user to upgrade recce") is cheap insurance and removes the merge-order coupling.
2. Deprecation banners on /recce-setup and /recce-pr lack removal timeline and usage telemetry — no signal for when it's safe to delete. (Author's PR description #4 already flags this.)
3. recce-pr.md:24 (untouched) still tells "MCP not running" users to run /recce-setup — also deprecated. A user landing on /recce-pr is sent on a two-hop deprecated path with no pointer to /recce-analyze. Fix: swap /recce-setup → /recce-analyze in that branch.
Verification
$ uv run pytest tests/ -v
========================== 10 passed in 0.02s ==========================
Tests pass — but per ISSUE 4 and the test-blindness point in ISSUE 2, passing these tests does not imply procedural correctness.
What I could not verify
- Exact semantics of
recce check-basedocs_generate(recce#1353). BLOCKER 1 holds regardless:dbt docs generate --target-path target-basefrom the target branch writes target SQL intotarget-base/no matter what the recommendation means. - End-to-end execution against a real dbt project (no fixture project in this repo).
- Whether Codex's MCP tool-naming convention matches
mcp__recce__*or bare names — needs domain confirmation.
What I looked for and did not find
Type/signature mismatches in tests; secrets or PII; new race conditions in start-mcp.sh (unchanged); coverage regression (no source code, only orchestration markdown); new automatic side effects in hooks (none).

Yup, I'm setting up Codex to check all of them now. |
Address all blockers and issues from @wcchang1115's review on PR #26 (`/recce-dev:claude-code-review` output). Captain confirmed scope. BLOCKER 1 — corrupt-base via docs_generate (recce-analyze.md, AGENTS.md) `dbt docs generate --target-path target-base` was running while the working tree was on the *target* branch, so target SQL got compiled into base/manifest.json. Both the `docs_generate` and `full_build` paths now run from the base branch via the safe stash dance. BLOCKER 2 — AGENTS.md had no prereq / branch detection Added Step 1 (prereqs: dbt_project.yml, dbt, recce) and Step 2 (branch detection) to AGENTS.md so the trigger-phrase entry point cannot jump straight into `recce check-base` on a fresh project. ISSUE 1 — unsafe stash dance Replaced `git stash; checkout; build; checkout; pop` with named-stash + trap pattern: `git stash push --include-untracked -m recce-analyze-<ts>`, pop only by exact message, EXIT trap restores target branch on failure. Mirrored in both recce-analyze.md and AGENTS.md. ISSUE 2 — false "byte-equivalent parity" claim Reconciled divergences between recce-analyze.md and AGENTS.md: - Full staleness warning sentence in both (was truncated in AGENTS.md) - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` in both (dropped fictional `${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}`) - `mcp__recce__*` MCP tool prefix in both (was bare names in AGENTS.md) - Error Recovery section added to AGENTS.md Added 4 parity tests (test_stale_warning_parity_claude_codex, test_mcp_tool_names_parity, test_no_codex_plugin_root_in_agents_md, test_safe_stash_dance_in_both_paths) so drift fails CI. ISSUE 3 — overly aggressive trigger phrases Removed "review my changes" and "show me what broke" from the trigger set (collide with general code review / test triage). Trigger set is now 8 phrases. Added an explicit confirmation gate inside Step 3 before any `git checkout` or `dbt build`, regardless of how the command was invoked. Updated SKILL.md to clarify trigger phrases propose `/recce-analyze` rather than execute it silently. ISSUE 4 — vacuous AC-2 / AC-3 string matches Tightened `"120" in text` to anchored regex `\b120\s*s\b` and `"stale" in text.lower()` to exact match on the full warning sentence. ISSUE 5 — SKILL.md SessionStart still routed to deprecated /recce-setup Swapped to `/recce-analyze`. Same fix in recce-pr.md and recce-check.md ("MCP not running" branch) — those previously sent users on a two-hop deprecated path with no pointer to the canonical command. NOTE 1 — added one-line fallback for `recce check-base` failure (non-zero, non-JSON, or unknown recommendation) in both files. Tests: 16 passed (was 10), +6 parity tests catching the drift above.
