Problem

Inventory of the claude.ai surface (2026-08-26) found six installed user skills. Three of them exist nowhere else:

Skill Size In repo?
dream 6023 B yes — byte-identical
own-the-task 3363 B yes — byte-identical
grill-me 7547 B yes — byte-identical
close-session 4544 B no
antons-jobbsk 9285 B no
are-sasongsscout 10789 B no

claude.ai is the only surface with no fetch path — skills are uploaded by hand through the settings UI. So the one host that cannot sync is also the one holding sole copies. bin/doctor is structurally blind to it.

This is the same class of finding as gotth-dev in #27: real work living in one harness's private directory, outside git and outside any backup. Different surface, identical failure.

Action

  • Add skills/close-session/SKILL.md, skills/antons-jobbsk/SKILL.md, skills/are-sasongsscout/SKILL.md from the claude.ai copies.
  • Resolve the close-session boundary before adding it. It overlaps session-retrospective (surfaces learnings) and trainer (scores and writes to the brain), but is not the same skill — it also files open action points as Gitea issues. Either state the boundary in all three SKILL.md files, or fold close-session into the retrospective→trainer chain. Do not add a fourth overlapping entry silently.
  • Add index rows (see the surfaces: issue — if that lands first, the index is generated and this step disappears).

Notes for the executor

The three in-sync skills need no action; they are byte-identical to main and confirm the manual upload path does work when followed.

antons-jobbsk and are-sasongsscout are Swedish-language and personal-domain, not engineering skills. They belong in the repo for backup and versioning, but almost certainly should not ship to Crush/Pi/OpenCode or to Claude Code on koala. That is the case for the surfaces: field rather than a reason to leave them out.

Definition of done

All six claude.ai skills present in skills/, task check green, and no skill on any surface without a copy on main.
