Complete 2026-05-18 workstream for write-skill refactor (issue 0018 phase 1).
Grill output (handoff in docs/issues/0018-factory-write-skill.md):
- 6-section standard replaces 8: Role and When/When not dropped (not in
agentskills.io spec; description carries trigger scope and negatives)
- Frontmatter reduced to 3 fields; provenance moves to META.md
(progressive disclosure — not loaded at every skill scan)
- SKILL-TEMPLATE.md and META-TEMPLATE.md as authoritative copy-fill artifacts
- CATEGORIES.md as self-contained category reference in skill directory
- Copy and fill explicitly split into separate process steps for determinism
New files in .agents/skills/write-skill/:
- SKILL-TEMPLATE.md — 6-section template with XML blocks and inline examples per section
- META-TEMPLATE.md — provenance schema with inline-commented YAML; source vs references explicit
- CATEGORIES.md — self-contained category table (no runtime dependency on factory docs)
- META.md — write-skill's own provenance (v1.1, self-authored)
SKILL.md rewritten: 8-step process, XML blocks (<requirements>, <steps>, <checks>),
3-field frontmatter, copy-then-fill steps explicit.
Supporting docs updated:
- skill-implementation-workflow.md: SKILL-TEMPLATE.md as authoritative template;
source:/references: now reference META.md; when: marked resolved
- factory-integration-decisions.md: frontmatter spec corrected
- ROADMAP.md: authoring standard description updated
- CONTEXT.md: Source field entry corrected; META.md added to glossary
- docs/spec/overview.md: 2026-05-18 refactor entry added
- docs/issues/0018: handoff status updated; acceptance criteria marked complete
LESSONS.md: 3 entries added in grill session (cargo-culted body sections,
provenance fields in frontmatter, copy-fill determinism) + 1 from implementation
(planning meta-commentary does not belong in deployed artifacts).

Adds write-eval, the first factory meta-skill. Produces eval.yaml test
files for skills following the two-section schema (trigger_tests +
output_tests) with provider-agnostic string assertions and show-plan-
then-merge-on-rerun behaviour. Hand-written bootstrap — subsequent
skills will use write-eval to produce their own evals.
Also tightens skill-implementation-workflow.md step 5b: per-section
options walk-through is now a named gate before writing, separate from
the synthesis grill. LESSONS.md entry added.
HITL behavioral test pending.
