The bin skills were the only plugin without per-skill READMEs, so a reader
had to open SKILL.md — an agent-facing contract, not an explainer — to learn
what a skill does and when it fires. Each README states purpose, triggers and
boundaries for a human audience, leaving SKILL.md free to stay terse.
diagnose read its feedback-loops reference unconditionally, so every
invocation paid for guidance most runs never used; the read is conditional
again and the per-invocation cost drops from 1,278 to 831 words. Its HITL
template moves to assets/ because it is copied out, not read as reference.
prototype's two branch flows move into references/ for the same reason —
only one branch is ever taken.
research could not search the codebase it was asked to research without Grep
and Glob. caveman's description had grown into a paragraph where one sentence
carries the trigger. Four references pointed at things that do not exist: a
to-prd skill, a /setup-matt-pocock-skills command, two cross-skill ../ links
that only resolve in the source tree, and two places calling this project's
Gitea host GitHub.
Addresses #114.
Description 583 -> 231 chars and body 854 -> 519 words. Deletes the
neuledge-context boundary clause outright: commit 6146120 deleted that
skill and no skill has owned MCP-server installation since. That was the
last dangling routing target in the corpus.
Removes META.md, which file-structure.md:20 forbids at a skill root. Its
when: field duplicated the description and its references: entry pointed
at .agents/skills/context7-mcp/SKILL.md, which does not exist.
Restores two rules a clean-context audit found had lost their force: the
starting-URLs branch in step 3, which the retrofit had reduced to a
condition with no behaviour, and the references/file-format.md pointer at
step 6. The second matters downstream -- validate-provenance.sh parses
sources.md with anchored regexes and check 8 short-circuits silently when
the Status field is absent, so a sources.md written from step 6 alone
broke the provenance chain with no error anywhere.
Rewrites steps 4-5 as serial WebFetch reads. They mandated spawning
subagents that allowed-tools never granted; no tool was added because the
name differs across the three compile targets. Tracked as #116.
Updates the two test pins and the eval case that asserted the dead route.
Refs #99
Skills and evals migrated from .agents/ to plugins/bin/ plugin directory.
Remove .mcp.json, provider-manifest.sh, and skills-lock.json legacy artifacts.
