External References

Dormant provider-pack references live under ~/.local/share/skills. Direct reads from ~/.local/share/skills/<skill-name>/* need no promotion; promote only when the user asks to make a pack active/invokable.

1. Workflow

  1. Read matching bodies under ~/.local/share/skills/<skill-name>.
  2. Enumerate available reference skill names from ~/.local/share/skills/.i9wa4-agent-skills-reference-only.manifest when the generated name is unclear.
  3. Use nix/home-manager/agents/shared/agent-skills.nix referenceOnlySources only when the generated tree is missing or source verification is needed.
  4. Prefer local owner skills for guardrails: data-platform, programming, or dotfiles.
  5. Promote only on an explicit active-provider-pack request.
