Three related half-applied changes from #130, each leaving the corpus in a state its own
documentation contradicts.
Why:
- `assets/templates/SKILL.md` shipped `metadata:` fully commented out, and `new-skill.sh` only
substitutes SKILL_NAME. Every scaffolded skill therefore lacked the `metadata.version` ADR-0022
made mandatory and was blocked at first commit by the very hook this PR added. The commented
example also read `"1.0"` — neither the `0.1.0` new-skill seed nor valid semver.
- `agent-audit/references/scope-project-user.md` still joined `disable-model-invocation` and
`user-invocable` with a slash — #125's defect verbatim — while pointing the reader at the file
this PR had just corrected to say the opposite.
- ADR-0022 required the "when present" bump conditional dropped and `metadata.version` moved into
create.md's required list. It was dropped from SKILL.md but left in README.md, and the field was
edited in place under a heading that still authorises removing it entirely.
Implementation notes:
- The template emits `metadata: version: "0.1.0"` live, captioned as required, with the optional
keys left commented. `new-skill.bats` gains a case asserting a live key and three-part semver, so
this cannot regress.
- `description-quality.md` now asserts only what the vendored Copilot research supports: two fields
with opposite defaults, and the retired `infer` replaced by the pair rather than by either alone.
The unsupported negative it previously stated as fact is gone.
- The `1.0.0` retrofit seed is stated in improve.md and retrofit.md, which the retrofit flow
actually reads — create.md, where it lived, is unreachable from that path. The compression item
moved out of the file-churn checklist, whose preamble excluded the wording-only change it covers.
- Executable git commands in these three skills now carry the ADR-0023 rtk prefix.

Skill name+description pairs are preloaded into every session, costing
~6,200 tokens across 39 skills before any skill is invoked. The authoring
rules mandated that growth: skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21
both required padding, while skill-author:102 (the deflating rule) had no
FAIL condition behind it.
Gates (blocking, no baseline file):
- description 250 chars SUGGESTION / 400 FAIL, measured on the folded
YAML value
- body-only 600 words SUGGESTION / 900 FAIL, independent of the unchanged
whole-file 2770-word / 500-line spec backstop
- every boundary-clause routing target must resolve to a real skill or
agent; catches skill-improve, neuledge-context and gitea-labels
- agents take the description gates but deliberately no body gate; a test
pins that absence
Vale: DescriptionOpener widened to ^This\b, new CompositionNote rule
banning architecture notes from descriptions. 10 hits, 0 false positives.
Kyberforge's own four skills retrofitted: descriptions 3,364 -> 938 chars
(-72%), bodies 8,306 -> 2,487 words (-70%), all via the apm-workflow
dispatch pattern. Fixes the skill-improve dangling route and the
agent-author misroute to manual review.
Also fixes a pre-existing false positive where any line-initial 'read '
was flagged as interactive input, which had already caused two scripts to
be rewritten around it.
