The five procedures every repository has and no plugin can write: start — how its application comes up; show — how the feature being built is put in front of a reviewer, running and with evidence; capture — how evidence is taken; debug — how a cause is found inside the running application, breakpoints included, without handing the debugger to a person; estimate — how work is sized in story points against the repository's own finished work. Each lands as one editable copy under .agents/skills/ with a managed wrapper per host that carries the fixed goal: the goal is the plugin's and refreshes on upgrade, the procedure is the repository's and is never overwritten once edited. Two skills, init and update, keyed by components.devbook-procedures.adopted in .devbook/config.json. An L1 extension over devbook: it follows devbook's reconcile protocol and stamp, and names no engine.
