Defame1297 2eb13f702e feat(lint): expand Vale audit prefilter into a broader plugin-content harness
Deferred item from PR #85 review. Per ADR-0013: cherry-picks two low-noise
rules from trialing write-good/alex against the real corpus (VagueQualifier,
SentenceOpenerThereIs) into styles/Kyberforge rather than adopting either
package wholesale (both are tuned for blog prose and were noisy on this
repo's terse, imperative instruction files - see the ADR's rejected-rule
list). Adds a new skill-size-check pre-commit hook enforcing agentskills.io's
500-line/5,000-token SKILL.md ceiling, currently unenforced. Fixes the 28
resulting violations across 20 existing SKILL.md/agent files so the
enforcing pre-commit hook lands clean.

governance.md/CONTROLS.md were evaluated and excluded as rule sources -
they're org/CI-infrastructure controls, not prose patterns Vale can express.

git-branches

Manage the full lifecycle of git branches — create, switch, delete, rename, and track feature/hotfix/release branches under GitHub Flow or Gitflow.

What it does

This skill handles branch operations within the git workflow suite. It creates branches following GitHub Flow or Gitflow conventions (configurable), switches and tracks branches, handles safe deletion with unmerged-work checks, and retrieves branch intent metadata for use by other skills (e.g., commit message context). It returns structured results suitable for agent composition.

Usage

/git-branches

Describe your branch task: create a feature/hotfix/release branch, switch, delete, rename, or track. The skill will determine the branching pattern (GitHub Flow or Gitflow) from config or repo state and handle safety checks for destructive operations.
