North Star governance
Keep Skill Steward legible: charter in one place, AGENTS.md as a map, plan artifacts removed after extract (any planning tool the user chooses).
When to use
- Updating repo scope, boundaries, or success criteria
- Rewiring
AGENTS.mdordocs.jsonsidebar - Creating or closing plans, roadmaps, todos in-repo
- Before large or ambiguous work — scope + design checkpoints (
adr-records) - After a milestone: “where should this knowledge live?”
Before large work (scope + decisions)
Run this spine before a multi-file feature, new integration, or repo reshape:

adr-records
Writes and maintains ADRs (MADR, Nygard, Y-Statement) and runs decision checkpoints before/during work—trigger matrix, option briefs, proposed ADRs. Use when creating or updating ADRs, facing a design fork, trade-off, boundary change, or when the user asks for key design decisions before implementing.
1faq-driven-docs
Creates and maintains DESIGN_FAQ (why) and DX_FAQ (how) documentation in FAQ-driven development style. Use when writing docs, rules, prompts, updating FAQs after code changes, or bootstrapping faq_usage rules and Cursor commands.
1create-skill
Scaffold a new Agent Skill in this marketplace repo with valid SKILL.md, directory layout, and registry entries. Use when adding a skill, creating SKILL.md, or contributing to skill_steward.
1skill-source-citations
Requires durable citations when authoring or researching Agent Skills—maintain references/sources.md per skill, link external research, and record provenance in PRs. Use when creating skills, updating SKILL.md, doing web research for skills, or auditing missing sources.
1skill-spec-review
Audit SKILL.md and skill directories for Agent Skills spec, Cursor extensions, and npx skills compatibility. Use when reviewing a skill, validating frontmatter, or checking marketplace readiness.
1concept-doc-store
Bootstraps and maintains a vectorless, layered documentation store for concepts, architecture, and decisions—without duplicating how code works. Use when organizing repo docs, writing ADRs, north-star charters, agent playbooks, or product-style doc lattices.
