v0.1.0

Working practices for an AI agent serving one person: task decomposition, verifying before declaring done, asking versus assuming, minimal-change discipline, session handoff notes, delegation briefs, and skill authoring.

skill-authoring

Writing skills that change an AI agent's behaviour - one job per skill, a description whose Load-when trigger is the loading signal, encoding opinions and thresholds rather than common knowledge, terse imperative bodies of 60-100 lines, examples, anti-patterns and closing checklists, independence between skills, no project-specific coupling, testing a skill on a real task, pruning dead skills, and version flags. Load when creating, editing, reviewing, splitting, merging, or retiring a skill file for an AI agent.
