docs: trim skill READMEs and ADR/changelog narration
Two related simplification-audit findings, bundled because they edit some of the same skill-audit files and splitting would fragment single-file diffs. Finding 10: delete 48 per-skill/reference README.md files (they restated SKILL.md in narrative form and no agent ever loads them) plus 2 scaffold templates. Drop the README criterion from skill-audit's file-structure.md and finding-criteria.md, and the README-generation step from skill-author's new-skill.sh; update new-skill.bats to match. Plugin-root READMEs are kept intentionally, out of scope. Finding 12: strip historical ADR-0020/ADR-0023 citations and changelog-style narration from model-facing skill content across kyberforge and git plugin skills. Delete skill-author's one-time retrofit.md migration guide and its references. Some ADR-0023 tags were not narration but check-rtk-prefix's required opt-out marker for intentionally-bare git commands -- those were restored, not stripped. Mirror re-synced and full pre-commit/pre-push suite verified green.

# references/
|
||||
|
||||
Additional documentation agents load on demand. Files here extend SKILL.md
|
||||
without bloating its core context.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to add a reference file
|
||||
|
||||
The SKILL.md body carries the decision procedure only. Everything else lives
|
||||
here: lookup tables, spec restatements, output schemas, templates, example
|
||||
blocks, rationale prose, and anything only one branch reaches.
|
||||
|
||||
Two triggers make a reference file mandatory rather than optional:
|
||||
|
||||
- The body is over its 600-word target (900 is a hard failure), counting the
|
||||
body only — everything after the frontmatter's closing `---`.
|
||||
- The skill has two or more mutually exclusive flows. The body then keeps only
|
||||
a dispatch table plus the gates common to every branch, and each flow gets
|
||||
its own self-contained file here (e.g. `create.md`, `improve.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to reference from SKILL.md
|
||||
|
||||
Load conditionally — tell the agent exactly when to read each file:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
If the API returns a non-200 status, read `references/api-errors.md`.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid generic "see references/ for details" — the agent loads context on
|
||||
demand, so give it a precise trigger condition.
|
||||
|
||||
## File conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- One topic per file — focused files mean less unnecessary context loaded
|
||||
- Kebab-case filenames (e.g. `api-errors.md`, `output-formats.md`)
|
||||
- Keep files under 200 lines where possible
|
||||
|
||||
## If no reference files are needed
|
||||
|
||||
Delete this README and the `references/` directory entirely.
