Elkidogz 2d1f0d2b53 feat(engineering): add tc-tracker skill

Self-contained skill for tracking technical changes with structured JSON
records, an enforced state machine, and a session handoff format that lets
a new AI session resume work cleanly when a previous one expires.

Includes:
- 5 stdlib-only Python scripts (init, create, update, status, validator)
  all supporting --help and --json
- 3 reference docs (lifecycle state machine, JSON schema, handoff format)
- /tc dispatcher in commands/tc.md

TC Tracker

Structured tracking for technical changes (TCs) with a strict state machine, append-only revision history, and a session-handoff block that lets a new AI session resume in-progress work cleanly.

Quick Start

# 1. Initialize tracking in your project
python3 scripts/tc_init.py --project "My Project" --root .

# 2. Create a new TC
python3 scripts/tc_create.py --root . \
  --name "user-auth" \
  --title "Add JWT authentication" \
  --scope feature --priority high \
  --summary "Adds JWT login + middleware" \
  --motivation "Required for protected endpoints"

# 3. Move it to in_progress and record some work
python3 scripts/tc_update.py --root . --tc-id <TC-ID> \
  --set-status in_progress --reason "Starting implementation"

python3 scripts/tc_update.py --root . --tc-id <TC-ID> \
  --add-file src/auth.py:created \
  --add-file src/middleware.py:modified

# 4. Write a session handoff before stopping
python3 scripts/tc_update.py --root . --tc-id <TC-ID> \
  --handoff-progress "JWT middleware wired up" \
  --handoff-next "Write integration tests" \
  --handoff-blocker "Waiting on test fixtures"

# 5. Check status
python3 scripts/tc_status.py --root . --all

Included Scripts

scripts/tc_init.py — Initialize docs/TC/ in a project (idempotent)
scripts/tc_create.py — Create a new TC record with sequential ID
scripts/tc_update.py — Update fields, status, files, handoff, with atomic writes
scripts/tc_status.py — View a single TC or the full registry
scripts/tc_validator.py — Validate a record or registry against schema + state machine

All scripts:

Use Python stdlib only
Support --help and --json
Use exit codes 0 (ok) / 1 (warnings) / 2 (errors)

Slash Command

When installed with the rest of this repo, the /tc <subcommand> slash command (defined at commands/tc.md) dispatches to these scripts.
