Deliver value-prioritized Kanban pull to Agentic Engineering #557

🤖 Generated by the Agentic Engineer

Summary

Update the portable engineer, improver and surveyor to use the shared value-pull policy rather than age/type-only selection. Adopt agent-skills#271 through the programmed updater, preserving provenance, versions and generated digests.

Motivation

The maintainer explicitly requested board-driven prioritization of important work on 2026-10-08. Old issue age and bot-driven update time do not express product importance or real delivery capacity.

Proposed Solution

Keep incidents first and finish actionable started work before new intake. Pull refined unblocked Ready work only within downstream capacity. Compare evidenced priority, urgency, risk, dependencies and end-to-end effort; retain original age, blocker history and anti-starvation review. Preserve trust, quality and exact-head merge gates.

Acceptance Criteria

• Shared skill source lands before plugin delivery and consumer adoption.
• All active selection surfaces agree; no stale oldest-only overlay remains normative.
• Behavioral regressions prove priority, eligibility, capacity and unknown-evidence decisions.
• Priority and flow fields have verified readback; existing board views and legitimate in-flight work are preserved.
• PRs merge and exact adopted content is verified; no unsupported throughput-improvement claim.

Dependencies

Shared source: devantler-tech/agent-skills#271.

Additional Context

Direct human authorization covers this correction and useful project-field/UI changes. Runtime permissions, scheduler cadence and paid inference remain unchanged.
