The previous round taught agent-audit's validator to permit disallowedTools but left the skill that writes agents still forbidding it, in six places. Running agent-author on any of the three fenced orchestrators would have stripped the fence, and nothing would have caught it: the validator's allowlist is a permit list, so an absent field passes. The template was the worst of them, since its comment is copied verbatim into every new plugin-scope agent. Where a list had to be restated it is now a pointer to field-inventory.md's apm-agent-allowlist instead -- the same data validate.sh reads -- because a roster copied into a template goes stale one step further out than the roster itself. Where the text has to teach something it teaches the shape rule rather than the exception: tools is an allowlist whose vocabulary differs per harness, so verbatim copy makes one value wrong on one target; disallowedTools is a denylist, where an unrecognised name denies nothing, so the worst case is a missing fence rather than a wrongly granted capability. ADR-0016's amendment claimed an unrecognised key is inert on Copilot while the same ADR's Context says that behaviour is unconfirmed by research -- asserting as settled the exact thing it flags as unknown, and justifying it with apm's compile-time behaviour, which says nothing about Copilot's runtime. It is rewritten into labelled tiers: confirmed for Claude Code with citations, inferred by analogy for Copilot with the analogy's limits stated, unverified where it is unverified, and the residual risk accepted explicitly with its blast radius. It also no longer claims to restore a write sandbox: the denylist does not deny Bash, which these agents inherit and legitimately need. docs/hooks.md called the old root hooks.json a stale sync artifact -- it was added in the plugin's creating commit and pointed at by main's Copilot manifest -- and claimed both ecosystems now resolve hooks/hooks.json. Copilot does not: its hooks field has no default and no compiled manifest declares one, so it resolves nothing. Recorded as the gap it is, with re-injection noted as a follow-up rather than asserted away. Its event list is marked partial. Also: new-agent.bats asserted a hardcoded four-field allowlist and would have rejected a scaffolded agent carrying the field the ADR now blesses; it reads field-inventory.md too. And ADR-0016's premise that Claude's tools: is space-separated was wrong -- it takes a comma-separated string or a YAML list. The incompatibility with Copilot is the vocabulary, not the punctuation.

deployment-modes.md
Agent scope hierarchy, precedence rules, and per-scope restrictions. Covers: which frontmatter fields a plugin/APM-scope agent may carry and the allowlist-vs-denylist shape rule that decides it (deferring to agent-audit's references/field-inventory.md for the list itself), 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.
