Problem

The implement skill says to use maps/poodr-implementation.yaml for a ticket with no test-shaped increment: docs, config, an ADR-only change, or a spike. That map sends the run through seam-designer and test-writer. For a docs-only ticket, the test-writer has nothing to test, stops without a gate result, and the Runner ends the run with verdict:error. A docs-only ticket cannot pass the map that the skill names for it.

Observed

Implementation 66, ticket #807 (one-line edit to skills/implement/SKILL.md): change-auditor 670 pass, seam-designer 671 pass, test-writer 672 error with gate step gate_skip, then implementation_failed with reason: verdict:error.

Reproduce

os-sdlc-implementation-open SESSION 807 plugins/os-sdlc/maps/poodr-implementation.yaml --target os-sdlc

Then dispatch the named nodes for a docs-only ticket.

Approach

Give docs-only tickets a map with no red round: an editor node that runs a check command from the ticket's Required work, then a reviewer node. Point the implement skill at that map for docs, config and ADR-only tickets.

Required work:

Add a map for tickets with no test-shaped increment, with no test-writer node.
Change the implement skill to name that map for docs, config and ADR-only tickets — check: present poodr-implementation.yaml in plugins/os-sdlc/skills/implement/SKILL.md

Acceptance criteria

Given a docs-only ticket, when it runs through the map that the skill names, then no node requires a red test.
Given a docs-only ticket whose Required work check passes, when the run ends, then the Runner returns implementation_complete.

VERDICT: CREATE — Real run (implementation 66) shows the docs-only map path ending in implementation_failed due to a design gap (no no-test map exists); this ticket names the design root, not a downstream symptom, and is distinct from #811.

## Problem The implement skill says to use `maps/poodr-implementation.yaml` for a ticket with no test-shaped increment: docs, config, an ADR-only change, or a spike. That map sends the run through seam-designer and test-writer. For a docs-only ticket, the test-writer has nothing to test, stops without a gate result, and the Runner ends the run with `verdict:error`. A docs-only ticket cannot pass the map that the skill names for it. ## Observed Implementation 66, ticket #807 (one-line edit to `skills/implement/SKILL.md`): change-auditor 670 pass, seam-designer 671 pass, test-writer 672 `error` with gate step `gate_skip`, then `implementation_failed` with `reason: verdict:error`. ## Reproduce ``` os-sdlc-implementation-open SESSION 807 plugins/os-sdlc/maps/poodr-implementation.yaml --target os-sdlc ``` Then dispatch the named nodes for a docs-only ticket. ## Approach Give docs-only tickets a map with no red round: an editor node that runs a check command from the ticket's Required work, then a reviewer node. Point the implement skill at that map for docs, config and ADR-only tickets. Required work: 1. Add a map for tickets with no test-shaped increment, with no test-writer node. 2. Change the implement skill to name that map for docs, config and ADR-only tickets — check: present `poodr-implementation.yaml` in `plugins/os-sdlc/skills/implement/SKILL.md` ## Acceptance criteria 1.

Triage 2026-09-29: still valid; ready-for-agent. Evidence: main skills/implement/SKILL.md (Start) still routes docs/config/ADR-only/spike tickets to maps/poodr-implementation.yaml, which still has the test-writer red round (maps/ holds only coding.yaml, poodr-implementation.yaml, poodr-ticket-implementation.yaml; none is a no-red docs map). No commit since filing changes this. Related: #663 (same routing gap for behavior-preserving refactors; recovered via coding.yaml, which has programmer->reviewer->suite-check and may serve docs tickets too) - consider settling both with one map decision. Not blocked by #802/#805/#806/#811/#818; #811 is a distinct test-reviewer defect. Labels added: ready-for-agent, create, enhancement. Implementer note: Required work item 1 has no check: line; add one.

Done: Occurrence: #892 "Prose-only tickets have no red path in poodr-ticket-implementation" (same mechanism as #859: the red-first map cannot handle non-test-shaped work).

Evidence: #892 adds #874 impl 7 (unexpected_pass:test-writer/diff-test on a prose-only ticket) and two fix options: run required-work as the red gate at test-writer, or restore a docs map; it notes SKILL.md still says docs tickets run on this map.

Follow-ups: none

2026-10-18: bb617f0b adds an interim skill rule (implement/SKILL.md line 59): non-code tickets open on poodr-ticket-implementation and reroute when they escalate. Still open: the no-red-round map (editor node, then reviewer node) and the change that points the skill at it. #663 overlaps; merge or re-scope the two.
