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. Refs: ADR-0020

## Files
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `description-quality.md` | Rubric for the description dimension — three-part shape, the 250/400-character budget, the hand-invoked contract, and the internal-mechanics FAIL. |
|
|
| `body-and-delegation.md` | Rubric for the body, delegation and comment-discipline dimensions — the delegation FAIL, why agents take no body word gate, and what an agent body is for. |
|
|
| `scope-plugin-apm.md` | Contract for a single vendor-neutral `.apm/agents/<name>.agent.md` file — allowlist, dimension routing, and the dimensions that do not apply. |
|
|
| `scope-project-user.md` | Contract for a Claude Code / Copilot file pair — counterpart derivation, provider field rules, and pair consistency. |
|
|
| `validation-scripts.md` | Loaded only when a Step 1 script fails or cannot run — scope-detection walk-up, manual fallback checks, and known script failures. |
|
|
| `field-inventory.md` | Authoritative field lists, read as data by `validate.sh`: valid CC and Copilot agent fields, and the vendor-neutral plugin/APM allowlist. |
|
|
| `sources.md` | Research provenance records for skill content. Load only when tracing the origin of a specific rule or field constraint. |
