Second half of #29. The index was hand-maintained and had already drifted
once: dream and experiment-spec shipped with no row, their rows lost to a
squash-merge after a directory reorg. bin/check-index caught that after the
fact; generating removes the class.
The curated summary and trigger move into each SKILL.md as `summary:` and
`use_when:`, carried over verbatim from the existing table rather than derived
from `description:` — description is a paragraph written for model selection,
and truncating it would have produced a worse table than the one it replaced.
Knowledge now lives once, next to the skill it describes, which is the argument
that made a hand-maintained index the wrong shape to begin with.
The table is written between markers, so the wiring docs, the relationships
tree and the trigger table below it are untouched — those are prose, not data.
Rows are alphabetical now; the conceptual grouping the old order carried lives
in the relationships tree, which is the better place for it. A fourth column
shows each skill's surfaces, which is what makes #29's field visible rather
than merely enforced.
bin/check-index and its test are deleted: a generated table cannot drift in
either direction, so `generate-index --check` subsumes both of its assertions.
Verified by mutation — deleting the tdd row turns `task check` red with
"SKILLS_INDEX.md is out of date".
Closes#29
Bump-Type: minor
The repo distributes three ways — the Claude Code plugin, the symlinked
library for Crush/Pi/OpenCode, and claude.ai, which has no fetch path at all —
and treated every skill as belonging to all of them. claude.ai is not a fourth
host to mirror: gitea-ci, playwright and web-shot have no shell and no cluster
there, so a flat mirror installs skills that can never fire and degrades
selection for the ones that can.
Every SKILL.md now carries `surfaces:`, defaulting to [claude-code, library];
dream, own-the-task and grill-me add `chat`, matching what is actually
installed on claude.ai today. Claude Code accepts the extra key —
`claude plugin validate` passes and the skills still load.
bin/check-surfaces validates values, not just presence, because the failure
mode here is silent: a wrong surface removes a skill from a harness rather than
erroring. install.sh links only skills whose surfaces include `library`, and a
source that declares nothing at all is treated as foreign and linked as-is —
Anthropic's official set has no reason to know this convention. doctor's
missing-link check skips non-library skills for the same reason.
Refs #29
Bump-Type: minor
`task check` asserted plugin.json's version EQUALS the latest tag. `git
describe` is local-only, so any checkout that had not fetched the tag CI just
pushed went red on a commit that was correct — three times in one backlog
session, on the loop push → CI tags and pushes the bump → pull → red until you
also fetch tags.
The fault the assertion exists for is the manifest failing to move: a release
whose manifest still names the old version, so no installed host ever sees the
update. That is manifest < tag. Ahead is normal and is now quiet.
Ordering needed a real comparison, and bin/doctor had already grown one for
#30, so it moves to bin/newer-version with its own tests rather than existing
twice. Seven cases including the lexical trap (0.8.10 beats 0.8.9) and a
missing component counting as zero.
Verified by mutation: manifest 0.1.0 against tag v0.9.0 exits 201 naming both
versions; manifest 9.9.9 exits 0; the real tree exits 0.
Closes#34
Bump-Type: patch
Both skills shipped without an index row. The rows existed — on the feature
branches deleted in #22 — and were dropped by the squash-merge that followed
a directory reorg: the SKILL.md landed under skills/, the row did not. Nothing
errored, the index just under-reported the library to every harness reading it.
Adding two rows by hand fixes today and not tomorrow, so the assertion goes in
`task check` via bin/check-index, following the same pattern as
bin/should-skip-release: a real script with a real test, not untested logic
buried in a Taskfile. It checks both directions — a skill with no row, and a
row naming a skill that no longer exists.
Verified by mutation: deleting the `dream` row turns `task check` red and the
report names it.
Closes#15
Bump-Type: patch
Skills move to skills/<name>/SKILL.md and the repo gains both manifests, so
it is now a marketplace hosting exactly one plugin whose root is the repo
root (source: "."). Claude Code installs it from git; no symlinks involved.
Why: install.sh wired the library into every consuming repo as an ABSOLUTE
symlink to $CHECKOUT_DIR. The checkout moved three times, most recently when
local-dev@1966d5a dropped the embedded .skills/ copy, and nothing migrated
the links — 243 dangling links across 12 repos, hidden from git by the
**/.claude/skills/ ignore rule. Worse, ~/dev spans two path roots
(/Users/mathias on the iCloud-shared Macs, /home/mathias on koala), so an
absolute link stored there is broken on one side by construction. Re-running
the installer cannot fix that; only removing the mechanism can.
install.sh keeps the harnesses with no plugin system and drops from 42 links
per harness to one directory link, via the convergent ~/.agents/skills
convention that Pi and OpenCode both read:
~/.agents/skills -> $CHECKOUT_DIR/skills
~/.config/crush/skills -> ~/.agents/skills
~/.config/opencode/skills -> ~/.agents/skills
wire_claude_repo is deleted outright rather than gated behind a flag — on a
mixed-root fleet it cannot be made correct. Antigravity and Vibe targets go
too; both unused. CHECKOUT_DIR keeps its host-local default deliberately:
pointing it into ~/dev would put a git working tree inside iCloud with two
concurrent writers.
Taskfile drops five near-identical wiring loops (they had already drifted)
and delegates to install.sh. `task check` gains frontmatter validation, a
stray-root-entry gate, and manifest/tag version parity — the loose
secret-hygiene.md sat unloadable for months because nothing checked layout.
Verified: claude plugin validate . passes clean; a probe skill loaded as
skills:zzprobe through --plugin-dir; task check green at 42 skills.

Ports the Vibe wiring from local-dev's wire-skills.sh so this repo's installer
covers all four harnesses. Vibe uses a flat layout — ~/.vibe/skills/<name>.md
symlinked to the skill's SKILL.md file (not the directory, unlike Claude/Crush/
Antigravity). Added to both `task install` and install.sh, idempotent.

Consolidating the divergence between this repo and local-dev's embedded
~/dev/.skills/ (the two had drifted; the 19 overlapping skills were byte-identical).
- Import the 17 skills that existed only in local-dev: discovery-framing,
stage-gate-review, web-shot, and the 14 superpowers-* skills. This repo is now
the superset / single source of truth.
- SKILLS_INDEX.md: add rows for the 17.
- install.sh + Taskfile.yml: git.d-ma.be host (was stale gitea.d-ma.be, which
broke the one-line curl|bash installer post-rename).

Phase 2 of mathias/skills extraction. Adds two new per-tool wirers
alongside Claude Code:
- Crush — ~/.config/crush/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (charmbracelet/crush,
successor to opencode-ai/opencode which is archived)
- Antigravity — ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (Google
VS Code extension). Our SKILL.md frontmatter (name + description)
is already in the format Antigravity expects — no manifest
translation step needed.
Both wirers added to Taskfile.yml (install:crush + install:antigravity)
and install.sh (wire_crush + wire_antigravity). The aggregate `install`
target now calls all four targets (claude:global, claude:repo, crush,
antigravity). Idempotent symlinks, same shape as the Claude Code wirer.
Per-host env overrides documented in README: SKILLS_REF for tag pinning,
CRUSH_SKILLS_DIR + ANTIGRAVITY_SKILLS_DIR for non-default paths.
Skipped:
- opencode (opencode-ai/opencode): archived, succeeded by Crush; its
Custom Commands surface is user prompt templates, not system skills
- gitea-resident agents: consume via per-repo .claude/skills or brain
MCP, no special target needed

Phase 1 of mathias/skills extraction (infra#62 Track D — homelab
next-step plan addendum). Imports ~/dev/.skills/ verbatim (19 skill
dirs + SKILLS_INDEX.md) and adds the installation surface:
- Taskfile.yml — install / update / list / release / check targets
- install.sh — bootstrap installer for hosts without Task. Idempotent
symlink wirer; default checkout at ~/.local/share/skills/ on every
host; SKILLS_REF env var pins a tag (default: main).
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml — auto-tag every push to main by
Bump-Type footer (major/minor/patch, default patch). Skipped when
commit contains [skip-release].
- README — usage, versioning, contribution flow, secret-hygiene rule.
Phase 1 wires Claude Code only (~/.claude/skills/<name> global +
<repo>/.claude/skills/<name> per-repo). Phase 2 adds Crush, opencode,
antigravity, and gitea-resident agents (cobalt-dingo, agentsquad)
once their skill conventions are researched.
Public repo, markdown-only — no secrets, no client names. Verified
via pre-push grep before initial push.
