Rename recipe-dev skill to pattern-dev

[bfollington]

And reduce duplication in skills vs docs

---

Summary by cubic

Renamed the recipe-dev skill to pattern-dev and consolidated CLI docs to reduce duplication. CT docs now emphasize built-in --help for command discovery, and a focused workflow guide lives under pattern-dev.

• Refactors

  • Renamed .claude/skills/recipe-dev → .claude/skills/pattern-dev and updated terminology (recipe → pattern, patch where relevant).
  • Added pattern-dev/references/workflow-guide.md and removed the old recipe-dev workflow guide.
  • Removed ct/references/commands.md; moved command usage to ct SKILL.md with a “self-documenting CLI” approach.
  • Streamlined ct/SKILL.md: clearer workflows, fewer hardcoded examples, and corrected link syntax to “[source]/[field] [target]/[input-field]”.
  • Reduced overlap between skills and docs; skills now point to docs/common/* for concepts and to the ct skill for commands.

• Migration

  • Update internal links and references from recipe-dev to pattern-dev.
  • Replace “recipe” with “pattern” in related docs/examples where applicable.
  • For CT command details, use ct --help and the ct skill; the removed ct/references/commands.md is no longer available.

<file name=".claude/skills/pattern-dev/SKILL.md">

<violation number="1" location=".claude/skills/pattern-dev/SKILL.md:30">
Please fix the duplicated wording so the PATTERNS.md description reads clearly (e.g., “Common patterns with examples”).</violation>

<violation number="2" location=".claude/skills/pattern-dev/SKILL.md:247">
Update this new bullet to refer to sub-patterns instead of sub-recipes so the terminology stays consistent with the pattern-dev skill.</violation>
</file>

<file name=".claude/agents/research-specialist.md">

<violation number="1" location=".claude/agents/research-specialist.md:10">
Instructing the agent to run `ct --help`/`ct charm --help` fails because the `ct` binary is not available on PATH by default; point the guidance to `./dist/ct` (or the supported invocation) so the first step is executable.</violation>
</file>

<file name=".claude/commands/onboarding.md">

<violation number="1" location=".claude/commands/onboarding.md:56">
Running `ct --help` fails because no `ct` binary is available; use the existing `deno task ct --help` entry point so the onboarding command can actually list CLI commands.</violation>

<violation number="2" location=".claude/commands/onboarding.md:56">
This file was partially updated, but an outdated reference to the `/recipe-dev` command remains on line 38. This should be updated to `/pattern-dev` to align with the skill renaming.</violation>
</file>

<file name=".claude/agents/recipe-dev-guide.md">

<violation number="1" location=".claude/agents/recipe-dev-guide.md:10">
The agent definition file `recipe-dev-guide.md` should have been renamed to `pattern-dev-guide.md` to match the `pattern-dev` skill. Its name and content are inconsistent with the new terminology in `.claude/skills/pattern-dev/SKILL.md`, creating a system-wide inconsistency.</violation>
</file>

<file name="docs/common/RECIPE_DEV_DEPLOY.md">

<violation number="1" location="docs/common/RECIPE_DEV_DEPLOY.md:212">
This documentation file was not renamed to `PATTERN_DEV_DEPLOY.md` and contains a broken link to `.claude/skills/recipe-dev/references/workflow-guide.md`, a file deleted in this PR. It also still uses the outdated term &#39;recipe&#39;, creating cross-file inconsistencies.</violation>
</file>

<file name="README.md">

<violation number="1" location="README.md:48">
This file was partially updated but still contains dangling references to the old `/recipe-dev` command on lines 57 and 67. These should be updated to `/pattern-dev` to reflect the skill renaming.</violation>
</file>

this looks good, we'll need to modify AGENTS.md , it has a reference to "recipe-dev" at the moment in it, and it should be updated. do you want to add that to this PR?
