## deployment-modes.md

Agent scope hierarchy, precedence rules, and per-scope restrictions. Covers: which fields are silently ignored for plugin agents (Claude Code and Copilot CLI), scoped identifiers for plugin subdirectory agents, cache isolation behaviour, and Copilot CLI path conventions. Loaded conditionally from SKILL.md when the destination is a plugin directory.

## scripts.md

Conventions for the `new-agent.sh` scaffold script and any future scripts added to this skill. Covers: what scripts should and should not do, file placement, error handling, template variable conventions, and the no-interactive-prompts rule.

## sources.md

Research provenance record for this skill. Lists the upstream research sources (claude-code-plugins and github-copilot-plugins research docs) that informed SKILL.md, the templates, and the deployment-modes reference. Used by `skill-audit` to validate the provenance chain.
