Single domain plugin (commercial/ + business-operations/ pattern), NOT the research/ parent-of-plugins pattern. Every SKILL.md ships a Forcing-question library section per Matt Pocock grill-with-docs discipline. Each sub-skill also ships onboard.py + config_loader.py (customization consumed by every tool, project>global>defaults precedence) and an isolated opt-in ar_evaluator.py that bridges to engineering/autoresearch-agent (loop edits the skill's input file; evaluator is locked ground truth).",
