Igor now has a Development Cycle section with six stages, review decision tree, Athanor queuing rules, and separation principle. Athanor, implementation, research, and research-tree skills all reference their cycle stage. Fixed remaining Athanor metaphor inversions in the plugin design spec.

Changes
-
plugins/spire/skills/igor/SKILL.md— Added## Development Cyclesection between Delegation and Adepts. Covers: six stages with Igor as router, review decision tree (five outcomes), Athanor queuing rules (sequential, hold queue, TaskStop on invalidation), separation rule, exit heuristic, cycle-workpad relationship. ~250 words. -
plugins/spire/agents/athanor.md— Added three bullet points to Operating rules: Igor holds the queue (one plan at a time), commit per plan step on branch, output goes to a fresh reviewer (no self-review). -
plugins/spire/skills/implementation/SKILL.md— Added cycle framing note after intro: this skill governs Stage 5, Athanor receives a plan not a conversation, output goes to Stage 6 reviewer. -
plugins/spire/skills/research/SKILL.md— Added cycle framing note: research is Stage 2 or a loop-back from Stage 6; output feeds Stage 3. -
plugins/spire/skills/research-tree/SKILL.md— Added one-line framing note: structured form of Stage 2, output feeds Stage 3. -
docs/workpad/designs/2026-09-14-plugin-design-spec.md— Fixed two instances of old Athanor metaphor ("put it in the oven") to match corrected metaphor (plans go into the Athanor).
